[My discipline: multiple challenges]

My discipline is currently facing different challenges in different areas like: education, public employees and their work, health, social matters, ecological issues but not all of them have the same importance.

Education has always been a relevant subject for everyone, the students, the parents, the teachers, the authorities are always worried about the level and quality of the education and don’t always agree. There’s such a difference between public and private education and that it’s the main problem to solve, but the authorities don’t seem able to do it. There have been various attempts to improve education but none have been completely successful. I think this is the biggest debt that my discipline (the government) has with society. Maybe the answer to solve all of this problems, it’s have the right people deciding the important problems, people that study what is happening, that see that there’s an unequal distribution of resources to improve education and until this it’s not solve, the education is going to continue in the wrong path.

Something similar happens with health. As in education, health care services differ between private and public area, so people that have money to pay for health care will receive a better services and that’s not fair, everyone should get a good and efficient service regardless the area that they choose to attend to.

Another area that it’s going through some challenges is the public employees and their work. They are asking for an readjustment on their salary but the government doesn’t agree with the percentage that they are asking for. This is really important to us, because in the future we’re going to face the same troubles and going to demand the same (or even more) that the public employees nowadays are asking. I think the salary that they receive should be readjusted but not in the way that they want to, they must dialogue with the government and come to an agreement that satisfy both sides.

Although all of this areas are important, there are main subjects that not have the same relevance that they should such as ecological issues. The world that is living a situation were humans are killing the planet, we are exploiting natural resources without considering the consequences, so I think that is very important that our discipline consider all of this issues and do something to improve the situation and prevent it get worse.

Our discipline must be multifaceted, considering all of the main problems that there are in our society and work to solve them.

See you in another publication.

And that is the biggest challenge to us, because we have all the tools to make it work. :)
