CONTEMPORARY
ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE
Introduction
From an academic perspective, the learning process
is an individual activity that has its own dynamics within the sociocultural
sphere. Additionally, it results from the logical consequence of cognitive
processes through which new information (facts, concepts, value procedures) is
assimilated and internalized, new significant and functional mental
representations (knowledge) are built, which can then be applied in situations
other than normal the contexts in which they were learned. That is, learning
cannot be limited to a simple condition of storing information, because it
implies a systematization and integration of mental operations: knowing,
understanding, applying, analyzing, synthesizing and evaluating.
But from an economic perspective, like any scientific
discipline, economics (from the Greek “oikonomos” which means “household
management”) is extremely rigorous in its method, procedure and application.
Its object of study is the human being, and consequently it does not accept
capricious experimentation or improvisation with a biased, biased and immediate
vision, or lacking coherent and orderly methodological and strategic criteria
that lead to contradicting or breaking its innate laws.
Consequently, based on the theoretical formulations
of Lionel Robbins (1932) in his "Essay on the nature and importance of
Economic Science", economics can be conceived as a continuous learning
process based on a scientific methodology of a social nature, which bases the
process of making effective and sustainable decisions, in the inalienable task
of solving the economic problem, that is, any situation where there is or may
be a gap between the unlimited needs of all living beings, with respect to
scarce resources (with alternative uses) that are required to solve them.
Thus, the specific objectives are related to:
• Make a permanent contrast
between the theoretical foundations of the Economy with the social reality and
its application to any human activity.
• Prepare sequentially on a weekly basis a set of
expository texts that are fully supported by a scientific and academic basis.
• Create an electronic or digital space for
awareness, training and information in the area of economy in its broadest
conception, based on a communication message in simple language, documented and
illustrated with audiovisual elements.
Therefore, this academic product entitled
"Contemporary Economic and Academic Perspective" captures the process
of integrality between the economic conception, the continuity of meaningful
learning and the truthful and timely communicational message, which are clearly
a priority, of invaluable importance and of transcendental influence, in
particular for the reality and time of intense entrenchment of the economic
enclave, rent-seeking and oil dependence, which inevitably leads to a
"complex humanitarian illness" that is broadly circumscribed within
the parameters of "unconventional warfare" plagued by of high
psychological manipulation that has the unethical purpose of conditioning human
emotions and behaviors against society itself.
In this sense, the result of the investigation
focuses its attention on Chapter IV, where sequentially from December 2014 to
the present, a discursive exposition is made where the formality and specialty
of the economic are combined to clarify or guide the different phenomena or
problems that coexist in the local, national or world scenario in a didactic
way and with a language that allows it to be assimilated by all.
Likewise, Chapter I outlines the introductory
aspects that have motivated, inspired, encouraged and supported the realization
of this vocational work that dates back to 1997 when we started university
activities at the National Experimental University of Táchira (UNET), after an
experience also wonderful academically and personally at the Basic School of
the Faculty of Engineering at the Universidad de los Andes (ULA).
In the same way, in Chapter II the methodological
and conceptual aspects that broadly support the formal work carried out are
presented, and in Chapter III an approximation is made to the current and
historical context of the Venezuelan reality, which is the one that serves as a
scenario for the sequential preparation of opinion articles that are published
weekly in the Venezuelan media: such is the case of El Nacional, La Nación and
Radio Fe y Alegría. Finally highlighting that the conclusions assume a format
of application and reflection.
Methodology
I) Strategic lines: "Contemporary Economic and
Academic Perspective" with the formality and scientific rigor of the case,
on the one hand it fundamentally follows three strategic lines that are
inseparably related to: i) "Create a space for training and information in
the area of economy, based on a communicational message with simple and
illustrated language but well-founded”. ii) “Implement a timely and pertinent
plan for training and information in Economics that is fully, continuously and
irrevocably supported by a scientific and academic basis”. iii) “Disseminate
the results and interpretations of the permanent contracting between the
theoretical foundations of the Economy with the social reality, and its
application to any human activity”.
But it is also framed within three levels of
communication with their respective operational objectives:
1) Sensitization or awareness about the importance
of economic events: "Make Venezuelan society aware of the economic issue
as a key foundation in the process of optimizing routine decisions."
2) The basic, introductory or general culture
training on the subject that groups the interaction between the economic,
social and political: "Progressively introduce scientific knowledge in the
economic field in a clear, continuous, coherent and coordinated way, so that
allows the receiver of the message to understand the complex integration and
interdependence of the multiple variables that interact in society”.
3) The possibility of being able to transmit
continuous, truthful and timely information about economic, social and
political events: "Articulate mechanisms so that society as a whole
receives continuous, truthful and timely information on economic, social and
political events from an academic perspective”.
II) Methodological criteria:
On the other hand, it is emphasized that the
academic product presented here is holistically interrelated with a host of
experiences, theories and practices that condition its development and final
result. This complexity, characterized by the interaction of multiple
qualitative factors, forms an integrated whole, which essentially represents
the nature of academic "praxis" itself. These arguments encourage the
use of the qualitative research paradigm, under the divergent methodology
approach, the complex cognitive processes associated with Constructivism and
the principles of Gestalt Psychology; and scientific disciplines related to
convergent thinking.
Additionally, retrospective and prospective
analysis is used as an alternative to significantly solve the imminent
communication barriers and make the necessary feedback possible. Although the
retrospective approach obeys a linear systemic vision (Castellano and Vadell:
1990), its importance in this work lies in its contribution to the critical
analysis of what happened in the past in order to find a causal explanation for
current or contemporary reality. . But the prospective methodology is also used
to foresee viable and potentially possible scenarios impregnated with
"holistic vision, creativity, participation and cohesion, pre-eminence of
the process over the product, convergence, divergence and the constructive
purpose" (Miklos: 1999:70- 79).
Adding in this sequence, that the content analysis
approach is used to obtain significant learning, based on testimonies by
various social groups through interview and observation in any of its
modalities, therefore representing an inexhaustible source or edge. of
information to describe, based on the phenomenological method, the socio, economic
and political event or phenomenon in which we are all involved: all this
inserted in the triangulation process (at its different levels according to
Mckernan, 2001) to generate scientific knowledge pertinent and proceeding that
allows to find a possible sustainable solution.
In summary, the intellectual investment and with it
the scientific activity of decoding, deciphering and describing the background
or the "hidden" of the Venezuelan economic system, embodied in the
sequential structure of articles under the format of expository text, and that
make up the central component of "Contemporary Economic and Academic
Perspective", are sustained thanks to the postulates of the "Grounded
Theory", and are mainly developed when the conceptual and operational criteria
of phenomenology, hermeneutics and the application of economic models or
algorithms are fully used. -mathematicians, which are summarized in the term
"cryptoeconomics": which ultimately support the pragmatic procedure
of this promotion work.
III. Sequential structure:
Understanding the background or having a documented
and systematic perspective of the contemporary historical sequence of events or
phenomena is a need for identity for any society, especially for the Venezuelan
nation, but it is equally vitally important to internalize the meaning that
emerges from each situation or experience that a certain social reality has had
in terms of time-space, but considered as an entirely continuous process full
of an infinite complex set of emotional appreciations of all the human beings
involved.
The writing of opinion articles from an economic
perspective and related to daily events, dates back to 1997 when academic
activities began in the economics nucleus of the UNET, regarding direct and
indirect teaching activities in the field of economics. economy. Since then,
within a process of dialectic, evolution and permanent improvement, it has
ventured into different Venezuelan social communication media (La Nación
newspaper, El Nacional, Radio Fe y Alegría, Ecos del Torbes), in which week
after week week since December 2014, there is an academic commitment (Ad
honorem) to present for publication in the respective informative column,
different opinion articles from the conception as an economist, prepared with
academic or scientific rigor and following a sequential or chained order that keep
relation to the characteristic events or phenomena that are present in the
local, national or international reality.
Illustration
The discourse that is present in the sequential
articles is made at different communication levels (sensitize, educate, inform),
but they also comply with the conventional guidelines of the expository text,
in what refers to: i) its informative, explanatory and directional; ii) its
logical structure: introduction, development and conclusion; iii) its basic
presentation format: definition; description; characterization; narration; iv)
its type: informative and/or specialized; v) its internal organization:
problem/solution; cause effect; compare/contrast; descriptive enumeration;
temporal sequence.
Next consider an illustration of all of the
foregoing:

Unfortunately, we are victims
of the onslaught of a syndemic that has a premeditated necro logic, which is
maliciously rooted in a "selective" genocide, which consists of
belittling, deteriorating, humiliating, displacing, "exterminating"
and progressively replacing (in the mental plane, moral, emotional, spiritual
and physical) to certain social groups on the one hand vulnerable or on the
other hand of vital "strategic" importance, among which are the
direct and indirect guarantors of intellectuality or critical thinking.
Substitution that has been reflected in different
states of chronic vulnerability, due to the condition of lacking the minimum resources
necessary for a balanced diet, comprehensive health and therefore life. On the
one hand, the severe levels of malnutrition that expose with immense fragility
and high probability of occurrence, the certain fact of contracting any type of
disease or aggravating a pre-existing one, and as an immediate repercussion an
imminent fatal outcome. But it is also added, the learned helplessness that has
fed back the tsunami of resignations, retirements, migrations, abandonment,
etc.
This is not accidental, everything obeys a
deliberate plan. The "Big Brother" (Orwell, 1949) for the Venezuelan
case, has a "political clientele" to whom they "reward"
their loyalty, even if they do not have the vocation, training and experience,
they are waiting for their turn or opportunity to enter the university in the
role of teachers, administrators or workers. It is a reality that should not be
ignored, so it is essential to keep the university community informed with full
transparency, regarding everything that is being discussed and planned to be
decided in the short and medium term, for example, the academic regime, its
definitive modality, its “voluntary contribution”…or the “deliberations” with
the national government on university electoral matters.

Moral harassment "aims to intimidate,
diminish, reduce, flatten, intimidate and emotionally and intellectually
consume the victim, with a view to eliminating him from the organization or
satisfying the insatiable need to attack, control and destroy that the harasser
usually presents, which he takes advantage of the situation that the particular
organizational situation offers him (reorganization, cost reduction,
bureaucratization, vertiginous changes, etc.) to channel a series of
psychopathic impulses and tendencies”. (Piñuel, 2001, p. 55).
Today when there is obviously a globalist plan with
the nefarious purpose of drastically reducing the world population and
eliminating Western culture based on the essential postulates of Christianity,
with a radical position and without lukewarm euphemisms, what is at stake here
is life of decent workers who depend on a fixed salary that has become
"unconstitutional", so things must be called as they are:
Whoever harasses a person is a stalker, whoever
humiliates them is a humiliator, whoever violates their fundamental rights is a
rapist, whoever enriches themselves at the expense of the needs of the
vulnerable is a hungerer, the privileged or plugged in who boast a supposed
economic recovery to the detriment of the growing misery of the majority, they
undoubtedly belong to pharisaism, which has not managed to stop the
inflationary scourge, an incompetent, and who does not decree the payment of a
minimum living wage (as established in article 91 of the Constitution ), at a
time when death threatens at every moment due to the lack of resources to cover
the required nutrients, protect health and safeguard life, it is certainly an
exterminator.

«For the purposes of this Statute, "crime
against humanity" shall mean any of the following acts when committed as
part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population and
with knowledge of said attack: a) Murder; b) Extermination; c) Slavery; d)
Deportation or forced transfer of population;…h) Persecution of a group or
collectivity with its own identity based on political, racial, national,
ethnic, cultural, religious reasons…; k) Other inhumane acts of a similar
nature that intentionally cause great suffering or seriously threaten physical
integrity or mental or physical health” (Article 7. Rome Statute)
It is the duty to repeatedly denounce, without
allowing the matrix of opinion to be imposed, manipulated or administered, that
in the case of university workers we are condemned to "sudden death",
due to the high levels of malnutrition and the impossibility of coping with any
type of disease due to lack of resources to cover such essential needs to
sustain life
In Venezuela, the salary of more than 95% of wage
earners is below the international poverty line. That is why it is repeated and
it is not an exaggeration, that we are dying for not even having a
"Minimum Vital Salary". Help! A damaging paragon is in full swing
with dramatic similarities to that of Armenia in 1915, where thousands of
writers, artists, ecclesiastics, teachers, professionals and influential
members of the intellectual and Christian community were exterminated; this for
the fact of advocating, advocating and fighting for the benefit of equality,
freedom and justice, that is to say "overcome the shadows and
darkness" product of the precursors and accomplices of the only evil
thought, portrayed in an extremely fascist behavior and totalitarian in nature.
Let us take into account, on the one hand, that the
salaries of university professors and extended the labor benefit to the rest of
the labor community of the universities, must be governed in terms of the
Homologation Norms (NH), this is an adjustment of the structure salary
according to annual inflation, which must be reviewed every two years. However,
the national executive arbitrarily failed to comply with this obligation since
2007, which led to the violation of article 91 of the Constitution of the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (CRBV), and with it the beginning of
bankruptcy, decapitalization patrimonial and the extreme misery of the
teaching, administrative and worker staff of the Venezuelan university
institution.
On the other hand, with a circular dated 12-28-2016
by the Ministry of People's Power for University Education, Science and
Technology (MPPEUCT), in an action of vulgar flagrante delicto and absolute
impunity against the health and life of university workers (which typifies
crimes or crimes against humanity), the labor benefit acquired with respect to
the self-administered HCM was taken away from them, with the fallacious
argument that by centralizing resources the labor community would benefit
greatly. (Circulate at: https://bit.ly/3JCoDx2 )
With only these two dictatorial, unconstitutional,
crude and unscrupulous acts (of the many they have carried out), what they
really had covered up has been revealed. That is, leaving helpless on the
threshold of death to the entirety of a social group that works directly and
indirectly in favor of quality university education and excellence: but it is
well proven that it is the least that interests them. (Circulate at: https://bit.ly/3oYEjmh )

Intelligenzaktion,
Intelligence action or intelligence action, was the evil and criminal process
of extermination of culture and with it the "brain structure" of
Polish society by the Nazi empire, which was not limited exclusively to the
destruction of cultural heritage tangible that it was an inconvenience for the
rooting and expansion of the Third Reich, but it became palpable in the
genocide (planned before and atrociously developed at the time of the Second
World War) of the intellectual referents of Poland (just as the Turks had done
with the Armenian people between 1915 and 1923): including teachers, political
activists, students, judges, military veterans, journalists, scientists,
businessmen, doctors, lawyers, writers, artists, musicians, philosophers,
athletes, priests (more than 90 % of the Polish population of Christian
religion), etc.
"As part of the Nazi plan
to destroy Poland, the Germans engaged in cultural genocide, based on the
looting and destruction of libraries, museums, scientific institutes and
laboratories, as well as national monuments and historical treasures. They
closed all universities, high schools and engaged in the systematic murder of
Polish scholars, teachers and priests. Millions of books were burned, including
about 80% of all school libraries and three-quarters of all science libraries.
Polish children were prohibited from acquiring education beyond the elementary
level in order that the new generation of Polish leaders could not emerge in
the future. According to a May 1940 memorandum by Heinrich Himmler: "The
sole aim of this education is to teach them simple arithmetic, nothing beyond
the number 500; to write one's name; and the doctrine that it is divine law to
obey the Germans" » (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum)
Government: has the audacity to demand, judge and
condemn
(Published in El Nacional and La
Nación. Date: March 04 and 05, 2022)
Part I:
The right to life is a priority and of greater
hierarchy than any other, so the argument that free university education is a
constitutional right becomes invalid when article 91 of the Constitution of the
Republic is openly and flagrantly violated. Bolivarian of Venezuela, that is to
say the “Minimum Life Salary”. In other words, the remuneration that allows us
to live with dignity, and which is currently a determining factor in not dying
due to poor nutrition and the lack of ability to acquire any medicine or have
effective health coverage.
Everything is related to everything. Not at all any
cause is generator of effects, causalities: completely within a deterministic
framework. Therefore, an irresponsible government that fails to comply with its
constitutional duties has the audacity to demand, judge and condemn. A
government that does not "wash or lend the batea", that "tears
its clothes", but with premeditation contradictorily insisted, with its
internal and international accomplices, to "exterminate" any
institution and person that could be an obstacle to the implementation of its
anti-Christian political economic model.
Part II:
After almost four years of having formally
delivered a communication to the Senator for the State of Florida (USA) Marco
Rubio, we have received an email from this honorable legislator dated February
24, 2022. This message specifies:
“Since you previously contacted my office, I want
to make sure you know that my staff will be holding a virtual mobile office in
your area in the next few hours. My staff will be available to serve
constituents on topics such as Social Security payments, IRS issues, federal
disaster claims, and veterans benefits, as well as to listen to your concerns
and suggestions. Please note that I will not be attending in person, but my
staff will be directly available to provide any necessary assistance. If you
are unable to meet with my staff during this time but need assistance, please
call my office and we will be happy to help” (Full content at: https://bit.ly/3Mex1Vs )
The “concerns and suggestions” are related to the
letter that was delivered to him in May 2018 (more valid than ever), the
proposals presented in “All Universities Closed” (El Nacional, 02-26-2022) and
the statement following:
The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is wonderful
for approximately 320,000 Venezuelans who are in the United States, but also
very urgent humanitarian protection is required by more than 20 million
Venezuelans who reside in Venezuela. Please attend to the proposals and
requests presented in 2018, and the one we demand today, such as the one
related to the transfer of monetary aid to Venezuelan workers who continue to
live in Venezuela, given the enormous amount of economic and financial
resources. (more than 20,000 million dollars) that belong to Venezuelans but
that are held in the United States of America and other European countries:
given the sanctions against the government of Venezuela, even more so when the decree
that considers this Venezuelan regime, as "an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States"
(initially issued in 2015).
Communication.
US Congressional Senator (May 2018):
As a Venezuelan (born in Mérida, 1963), an
economist by profession (graduated from ULA, 1989), university professor (ULA
1991-1996 & UNET since 1991) and on behalf of the Association of Professors
of the National Experimental University of Táchira (APUNET, 2016-2018), on May 8,
2018 (dated April 24, 2018) a communication was delivered to his office located
in Washington DC, to the Senator for the State of Florida (USA) Marcos Rubio.
It contains a set of considerations, propositions and requests that are
outlined below:
The critical situation that we are suffering in
Venezuela due to a contradictory government management and far from pragmatic
procedure, ceased to be a contingency to become a matter of survival, product
of the sustained and systematic consolidation of the complex national
emergency, with direct affectation in the dimension human, particularly with
regard to the destruction or breakdown of the health system and the persistence
of negative purchasing power. In short, the state of bankruptcy, asset
decapitalization and critical poverty in which Venezuelans find themselves is a
public and notorious fact.
There are ample certain and proven indications that
Venezuela is immersed in an irrefutable "complex emergency" and is
also suffering from the rigors of a "war" originating in essence from
the implantation and implementation of a contradictory and absurd model of
national government management, which even It has thus been made official and
cataloged by themselves as "economic" through their communication
policy. Proof of this is the shortage of food (almost 100%), of medicines and
medical supplies (over 90%) that aggravated the critical levels of malnutrition
and cases of human fatality due to lack of qualified medical care and the
collapse of the national health system... With the aggravating factor of the
massive emigration to other countries of talented young people and trained
personnel.
This tragic situation is suffered by most of the
Venezuelan inhabitants and institutions, but in particular it is up to me to
cite one that is essential for the development of any country, which
regrettably and sadly is in frank agony and decline. This institution to which
I refer is the University as a whole. It is important to remember that her
essential mission is to train professionals and generate
innovative-technological products that the Venezuelan State requires.
But
contradictorily, the University has been abandoned to its fate, it has been
denied the resources required to empower itself and contribute to the
reactivation of the country. With the aggravating circumstance that his entire
community (students, workers, administrators and teachers) has been severely
beaten, constantly mistreated and even despised. Today its workers are going
through a terrible state of poverty and misery that prevents them from living
with dignity and fulfilling the mission established in the Magna Carta and the
Law of Universities (and that, on the contrary, forces them to emigrate or
dedicate themselves to another trade to the detriment of the same University
and Venezuela).
In this sense, in a very respectful manner, you are
sent some complementary proposals that could be incorporated into the
humanitarian plan in favor of Venezuela that you have been advancing.
1/7 All of the above suppose the essential causes
to activate the "International Humanitarian Aid", thus established in
accordance with Humanitarian Law, and qualified particularly in the respective
current regulations of the UN, such as the case of Resolution 46/182. Therefore,
it is exhorted that the necessary procedures be carried out and expedited to
allow and facilitate the entire Venezuelan population to be attended to in such
a situation of extreme and vital urgency.
3/7 It is essential to transfer purchasing power to
all decent workers based on a free supply and distribution of goods and
services, a release of cash and real salary adjustment equal to the level that
existed in December 2007 (in order to reactivate effective demand). For this
purpose, there is a methodological proposal related to the "Salary
Structure, Benefits and other Labor Aspects", having as a reference
framework the Venezuelan reality in terms of economic, social and political
matters.
4/7 It is essential to promote the essential
integration between the public, business and university sectors in favor of
true lasting well-being. But for this, the execution of a Comprehensive Plan
for University Reconstruction or Reactivation (PIRU) must be started
immediately, where the investment of capital and infrastructure in all
Universities is essential, which complements the fair and necessary budget for operating
expenses and benefits labor (salaries among others) indexed: in favor of the
integral formation of our students and for the benefit of the society to which
we owe ourselves. (All the content of the communication at: https://bit.ly/3Mex1Vs )
What
is behind the "war" that is suffered at all levels?
(Published
in El
Nacional and La
Nación. Date: February 26 and 27,
2022)
In the expository texts that precede, some
considerations and propositions have been formulated that allow a minimal
response to what was indicated by the university colleagues. However, it is
opportune to clarify that the traditional criteria in the three-dimensional
field, at any level or scenario, are not enough to try to effectively
problematize and find an approximate resolution of the system of equations
compatible with chaotic dynamics (or war at all levels that includes the
university) where we find ourselves submerged: other dimensional levels of
analysis are required. Then, in the attempt to give some guidelines that allow
responding in part to the expectations shown by the respectable interlocutors,
some glimpses of the guiding lines that have affinity with the thesis “Political
Economy Today. A perspective from spirituality” (Morales, 2021, https://bit.ly/3taEfm1 ):
The sequence of geopolitical events reveals the
direct action of the "son of perdition" to implant his anti-Christian
mentality. But be careful: it is not about one block being good and the other
bad, since both are accomplices of the evil one, "because we are not fighting
against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the governors of darkness..., against spiritual hosts of wickedness” (Ephesians
6:12).
The 3rd World War is on a spiritual level, which
has been systematically "weakening" the Christian foundations of
Western society, which makes it seem very difficult to definitively initiate a
process of renewal, transformation or conversion in favor of the path set by
God. . However, the only option we have is to begin by recognizing with the
greatest humility: "Mercy, Lord, we have sinned" (Psalm 50).
The priority is to cleanse and heal the soul and
spirit of each being, from all negative influence by the "son of
perdition", to counteract its destructive invasion. How is it achieved?
Strictly following Jesus Christ, fully complying with his model of life and
teachings. Consecrate oneself entirely to God, putting completely at His
service the gifts and talents bestowed by Him. (Mark 10, 28-31). Repent and
rectify: multiple signs and signals, but "some" of this
"generation" continue with their wrong behavior, they only pursue
their petty interests and perdition, as equal to or worse than Nineveh.
"Let each one turn from his evil way" (Jonah 3, 1-10). Don't waste
any more time. The real threats that are present in the world force spiritual
wisdom to immediately begin the route of conversion within the model of life of
Jesus Christ. But: "what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" The
answer in: (Mark 10, 17-27).
The "great announcement" or "illumination
of conscience" is not far off, then: How do you know if you have spiritual
health? "When you remove oppression, the accusing finger and slander from
you, when you offer the hungry what is yours and satisfy the afflicted
soul." (Isaiah 58, 9-14) How to know the start time on the route of Jesus
Christ? "One does not begin to be a Christian through an ethical decision
or a great idea, but through the encounter with an event, with a person, which
gives a new horizon to life and, with it, a decisive orientation."
(Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, 12-25-2005: https://bit.ly/37mJpms )
The kingdom of the Divine Will of God is
diametrically opposed to the hypocritical attitude of pharisaism, which is
summed up in: delaying decisions, inconsistencies in thought, word and action,
giving value to appearance, believing oneself superior to others, scandalizing
falsely, apply the law for convenience, turn a blind eye to injustice, respect
the form but not the essence of the norm, murmur, criticize, slander and judge
anyone or anything inconvenient to their interests. The problem becomes a
bigger problem when there is no disposition from the heart to solve said
problem. "From the heart comes what is impure" (Mark 7, 14-23).
"The mouth of the righteous exposes wisdom. Commit your way to the Lord,
trust in him, and he will act..." (Psalm 36).
The pleading and praying faith, in extreme
situations, requires permanently stripping off all vestiges of arrogance,
authoritarianism, arrogance, conceit, which are summed up in a lack of humility
and lack of trust in the Mercy of God. "Blessed are those who respect the
law and always practice justice. Remember me for the love of your people, visit
me with your salvation" (Psalm 105). But, what prevents us from grasping
God's messages and definitively opening ourselves to His Divine Mercy?
“Spiritual deafness” is due to the fact that from very early and until very
late, so absorbed and even dazed by the noise generated by the world, that it
does not allow growth in the spiritual and, on the contrary, hardens the heart.
In "Efetá" (open) lies the solution (Mark 7, 31-37)
"Lord... you always free those who fulfill
your will...".”When I called on you, you heard me, Lord." Then:
"Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it
will be opened to you; for everyone who asks receives, whoever seeks finds, and
to him who knocks it will be opened." However, the actions and decisions
based on tares, pride and pettiness are contrary to the Divine Will, so instead
of resolving they will always worsen the situation. The spirit for the desires
of the earthly that is reflected in envy, is contrary to the Holy Spirit that
feeds charity. Remember: 1) "He who knows how to do good and does not do
it, he is in sin." 2) "He who is not against us is for us." 3)
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven."
Was the vaccine or treatment applied to have a
healthy soul? The health of the body is important, but transcendental is to protect
and cure the soul from the temptation that leads to sin, that is, the offense
against God due to disobedience to His Divine Will. (Luke 4, 1-13). With their
"sane judgment" and "best judgment", each one is free and
completely responsible for choosing to be definitively on the "right"
or "left" when the moment of the "final judgment" arrives
(Matthew 25, 31-46). It is important not to continue wasting time or to lose
second chances to rectify. Prayer, fasting and penance essential to know how to
discern the signs of these times. "Blessed is he who does not follow the
counsel of the wicked, nor enter the path of sinners, nor sit in the assembly
of the cynical; but his joy is the law of the Lord, and he meditates on his law
day and night (Psalm 1).
Whoever wants to heal and save must continually
pray in prayer, meditation and/or contemplation. Requests to the Our Father: 1)
Hallowed be your name. 2) Your kingdom come. 3) Your will be done on earth and
in heaven. 4) Give us our daily bread… 5) Forgive our offenses just as we
“forgive” those who offend us. 6) Do not let us fall into temptation. 7)
Deliver us from the evil one. (Matthew 6, 7-15)
Universidad
sin “ellas” deja de ser universidad
(Published
in El
Nacional and La
Nación. Date: February 26 and 27,
2022)
In the sequence of expository texts presented previously,
a set of factors deliberately planted, integrated, motorized and monitored
against everything that the university institution represents in its
unavoidable and inalienable mission of "overcoming the shadow" have
been analyzed in a non-exhaustive way. ” that begets and advocates the evil
one. Digression: Indeed, the "contingent emergency" given its
regularity in the routine work, was transformed into a continuous decline,
given by the deliberate normality, induced and imposed by the "revolutionary"
ideologues of the 21st century.
However, despite all that macabre plan that has
undoubtedly hit the economic, social, moral, spiritual dimension, etc., in a
forceful way, to the point of attacking with impunity against classic
postulates such as the one related to "the most valuable capital of
everyone is what has been invested in human beings" (Marshall, 1890), the
flag of the Academy must always be raised high, as the main reason for being of
the university and of all committed university students, but also in
consubstantial catalytic dependency with what Academic Management and the
respective Academic Policies represent.
The Academy is dedicated not exclusively to the
transmission of knowledge, but to "the construction of thought, doing,
thinking, being (...) through continuous research processes" (Ortiz and
Marulanda: 1990: p.57). So much so, that the cornerstone, center of gravity and
shared vision of all academics must be and will be, in an inalienable way, the
consolidation of academic excellence, which is conceptualized in the normative
postulates of article 109 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela (CRBV): "knowledge through scientific, humanistic and technological
research, for the spiritual and material benefit of the Nation".
Consequently, the synergistic conjunction of
teaching, research and extension is the essence and reason for being of the
University Academy. For this reason, without any ambiguity, the national
government should not forget what is established in the Organic Law of
Education that they themselves approved, when it is postulated that Higher
Education Institutions focus on the materialization of "the exercise of
intellectual freedom , theoretical-practical activity and scientific,
humanistic and technological research, in order to create and develop knowledge
and cultural values”.
In this order of ideas, Academic Management is the
central axis of university life, so based on the ideas of Díaz and Requena
(2007) it can be conceived, within a systemic and holistic approach, as a
process based on integrality, which involves multifactors of an administrative,
social, labor, pedagogical, etc. type. (Tedesco:1993); and whose fundamental
objective is to attend to the proper development of university teaching, so
that it can adequately perform and fulfill its functions (reproduction and
distribution of knowledge), by involving relevant pedagogical-technological
resources in a strategic, timely, coherent and pertinent manner for the
execution of curricular innovations that make viable the continuity,
optimization and sustainable development of everything inherent to the
educational process, but always in full agreement and in tune with academic
policies.
Regarding the Academic Policies, and acting in the
role of academic coordinator of the Academic Vice President of the Unet, it is
appropriate to evoke some lines of the work paper presented for discussion in
the University Council of the Unet in July 2003:
Policies are general guidelines that print a joint
orientation to action, with purposes, goals and procedures, from which
standards and agreements, regulations and operating manuals are derived. In
this sense, the vision of the University that we wish to build materializes in
a coherent and integrated set of Policies that define the general guidelines
for Unet to affirm its essence as an academic, national, public, autonomous
institution committed to Venezuelan society.
The
development of Academic Policy strategies consists of tracing the path that
will be followed to fulfill the mission and materialize the vision of the
University. This layout is defined in detail through functional strategies, to
finally implement them through action plans.
The National Experimental University of Táchira
(Unet) is an institution totally focused on: a) Creating and transmitting
knowledge, principles and values; b) Promote culture in its broad dimension; c)
Investigate fundamental issues of knowledge and society.
In its institutional connotation, Unet must have a
set of functional strategies that allow it to: i) Reaffirm its status as a
public institution; ii) Renew its national character; iii) Preserve their
autonomy; iv) Endorse their social commitment.
Functional
Strategies
Policy 1:
Attention to the university community

members

Strategy 6: Link with the productive sector and
with society.
Policy 3:

Strategy 2: Institutional information systems
Policy 10:

Without these three integrally correlated aspects,
the university would no longer be a university. A university without an
Academy, without an Academic Management that dynamizes it and without Academic
Policies that sustain and support them, lead to an "organization"
that fails to fulfill its mission and vision. University without “them” ceases
to be a university. In addition, absolutely convinced that the University
Institutional Management must be based on and focus on the pillars of
University Policy and never on partisan politics: even less the incongruous and
senseless one advocated by irrational conflict.
Spiritual
atmosphere:
The same thoughts always lead to the same
decisions. The same decisions lead to the same behaviors. The same behaviors
lead to the same experiences. The same experiences produce the same emotions.
And these same emotions end in the same thoughts. Question: What nourishes our
thoughts at every moment?

CV- PRESENTATION LETTER
Venezuela, March 2022
My respects and consideration.
Please allow me to offer two preliminary considerations
that could serve as a presentation and as a basis for a better fluency in
communication:
FIRST:
The professional and academic work in the field of
economics and accounting, the management, formulation, evaluation and
environmental assessment of projects, mathematics, statistics and econometrics,
institutional management and university teaching, are based on the ethical principles
related to the mission of "collaborating in the orientation ..." and
"doctrinal contribution in the clarification of the problems ...” Please

SECOND:
The philosophy of life is synthesized as follows. "First of all God and the Blessed
Virgin, fully trusting in Divine Mercy and enforcing the Holy Will: with
dedication to academics to share and exchange knowledge and culture with
faithful devotion ... fruit of critical and creative thought at the service of
humanity ... always humble with a posture of generosity, gratitude, solidarity
and chivalry ... where you learn from everything and everyone; the simplest and
even trivial is also worth assimilating; it is essential to strengthen mind,
body and spirit; must be believed to learn; To teach and ensure the integral
formation of our students, the teacher's learning process must be continuous
and non-stop…. “learn to build one's own path of knowledge and discover that
the best teacher is within us… And definitely we must all have a pet like
"Sandy" or a "Bimbo”...
Health and harmony are my wishes.
