November 10, 2010. At a working meeting of the South Coast Chapter of the Meritorious Society of Geography and Statistics of the State of Jalisco, filed after the agenda was devoted (as usual) a few minutes to reflect on the theme proposed by the Member José Francisco Cobián Figueroa, which is as follows:
READ FOR WHAT?
For all civilized societies, the practice of reading has become a significant value. Is in the speeches of leaders, the concern of educational institutions, job applications, on the pretense of political correctness ...
With interests often incomprehensible and unattainable goals that are also ordinary citizens, have been designed in tax tests that purport to measure the reading ability of people and, through these tests and their results demonstrate the culture and progress of society. Based on these standardizations, it puts pressure on governments and these in their education systems that reproduce themselves in their users, through the requirement inferred, generate a sense and feeling of helplessness. on this basis too, are exercised in accordance with budgets and whims of those in power. Who
question of taste and pleasure of reading? Is there actually fun reading?
One looks around and sees the animals on the farm or the countryside to live as quiet ... you see people who do not read, display a calmness so similar to this, in no hurry to read, without the possibility reading them uneasy.
And those who read is concerned about the wealth of information, the Inland Revenue regulations, civil, police, tragic news, new forms of kidnapping ...
see that a person reading is taken as an object of admiration, but do not understand nor comprehend why we care about your love of reading.
There are three fundamental books everyone talks about, but nobody reads the Bible, the Capital and Don Quijote de la Mancha. Our references are not reading, but rather hearsay.
seems that reading gives less cause for joy, pleasure, disgust and bitterness seem to give a myriad of reasons to be unhappy. Then: read, why? José Francisco Cobián
Figueroa.
