"If I order that a general would become in the gull, and the general did not obey, would not be the fault of the general, I would......we must ask of each what each can give......The authority rests on the reason". (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

This workshop is large, because reflects with the student about four important points: learn to know, learn to make, learn to live together and learn to be. In this axctivity the students reflects , analyze, locate themselves, discuss and seek outlets for live in world even better. Ethics is a philosophical discipline that is dedicated to investigate the good and you should do . Kant, one of its major theorists was shocked with the fact thet men intelligent, able to meet with his reason the good they must do, but do not. Knowledge of ethics makes us not being ethical. When a teacher teaches ethics in the classroom can be a moster when nobody is looking it. We live in the world of information age, images, news, where the liberty is a right and the duty an obligation, where the peace is a wish and the war is the reality, where the intelligence could save lives and the greediness strip them, where the robber of jacket is respected and the honest indian is burned, a world where the wrong is confused with the legitimate, where liberty is confused with crapulence, where there is no solution for polution, where people use lambskin, in this paradox live in that mystery and also the discovery , the joy and sadness, the love and fear, the want and the power, will and have, the past and the present, the good and bad, the reality and utopia....and so many other flowers or pressure, but we have only one away from all the evil that our eyes see........a word and an attitude called hope, that hope comes from the verb to hope and no verb expect, where the change is different to see and accept. Through this workshop we build a world more ethics with citizenship people.
