Some thoughts and phrases that left 2,011 Politics Forum
Having participated in the organization of Politics Forum now we are beginning a new stage-post event, which along with the team we see as an important opportunity to install the theme in final form in our country but also in the region. The challenge now is to continue this level of match in which to integrate all actors to engage and create an enabling cross-fertilization development innovation policy and government.
is no coincidence that most out-standing convening an international political figure such as former President of Chile Ricardo Lagos to act as the focus of the present event organized or CiGob Foundation. And after listening to several prominent speakers and Piscitelli, Schuschny, Nadal, Calderon and his talks Helft 2.0, we can realize that we plan and what is missing from now on. Some phrases of exhibitors allows us to reflect and think about the future of science and government policy.
César Calderón said: "We live in exciting times, when the old did not just die and not just born again" . That sense of uncertainty in a constantly changing path should not "throw us back", because although there is animosity between the leaders and officials on what the Social Web, we must understand this path as one of change, and naturally those most quickly adapt to it will come out with a significant advantage. The current reality is more like a phrase which, according to Calderon, is the clear representation of the dilemma that governments are taking "Houston We Have A Problem" .
And this process of change may take a few years although it is clear that all social change involves one of our customs, that if repeated every day, it transforms into habits, habits and change our behavior.
Alejandro Piscitelli was very clear in this respect "this time of Guttenberg's printing press is ending" said without euphemisms. And when you close an era, which Piscitelli called "the Gutenberg parenthesis" (Thesis originally formulated by Professor Lars Ole Sauerberg), the power of print as a model of thinking and doing for the past 500 years, ends up dying. With this new model are reformulated some professions, among which are of course the politicians, a profession that is moving into crisis, according to the philosopher.
And the political profession is being reformulated because we are at a stage in which the brackets, which refers Picitelli is closed with full development of the Internet. Thus the age of printing would be isolated, as a mere parenthesis between the oral world of almost the entire history prior to his invention and a second orality that would be living from the Internet.
However, the conclusions on the reformulation of the role of the politician do not end here. At other times the political leadership and political parties had more information, this meant understanding that the city was ready to relegate them many of the issues which was unfit to make decisions due to lack of information. There was a paucity of information that allowed them transform it into power in their favor, either by having the tools of knowledge or the ability to have the vehicle for the latter (the ideologies through party structures.) As there are less sources of information-monopolized by ideologies, people did not hesitate or doubt less than what they were told political parties and their leaders, relying on the source of that information.
Now with a glut of information and the multiplicity of actors that information channel, shows a very different picture to the democratization of the same. The "information overload" mentioned by the Forum Piscitelli Politics owes its citizens because they exercise their power through the production of content. Today's citizens are, at least, with the same information (even many times even better and more accurate) that the political leadership and political parties, and apprehend supposed to understand that they can fully exercise their right in making the decisions.
Piscitelli There is a very critical phrase in particular caught me attention: "Politicians know , and when they are not devalue" , said of the technologies (understood as conversations in which they invent new ways to improve human life). "Why devalue? Because the technologies they are targeting these talks is to reinvent the very idea of \u200b\u200bpolitics" said.
possible for a reformulation of the political profession, it must understand that we are moving toward a democracy that will require collaborative expertise to both him and his peers. And it can succeed only if he can go "out of area comfort ", as told in his statement Hernán Nadal. One of the most famous phrase illustrates perfectly Einstein: " Do not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same ". This is where we return to the phrase " Houston We Have A Problem "mentioned by César Calderón . Our representative system is being undermined, and this is certainly a good thing mainly because the crisis can make way for creativity to create new ways of doing what we were doing so far.
From now on staff, leaders, parties, governments should be encouraged to leave their comfort zone, something that gives some fear at the moment. The fear is that, in the words of Ricardo Lagos, "This change from the political point of view is of a scale that we are not able to appreciate today," .
Lagos made an exceptional analogy "I have a feeling that we are in a tremendous wave, a wave that is not finished falling, do not know if it is still in its formative stage and up and you see what comes at the end or are still in the stage of formation of the same ".
Complications of public policy to be affected by the difficulties that governments have to see how they can listen to a lot of information, produced daily by the social-citizens, to filter and reuitilizarla to transform it into action.
