Education in ethics and seeking respect
Ethics education is necessary to learn to look, listen and feel the other. It teaches to look from the being of the other, even if that look is not expected and causes suffering or anguish. Is education for responsibility.
Nowadays with individualization and competitiveness, which creates empowered individuals, it is difficult to accept an ethic in education that helps us live in society and accept the other. It is necessary to educate with justice and peace in front of the other, being responsible for the other with solidarity.
In a plural society, our existence must be linked to the fulfillment of the rights of all living beings with whom we live together, and this has to be the purpose of education and ethics.
For Levinas ethics is understood as reception and responsibility, while the prohibition of the imposition of our culture.
"Educating is responding, the answer does not give an individual without face and without environment, but to someone"
For Sennett, social inequality leads to lack of respect and lack of solidarity against unequal. In a world with so many social inequalities, it is difficult to achieve equality and this complicates respect.
Modern societies are not very respectful, for Sennett this is due to the inequality of talents, the dependence of the most excluded depending on their age, labor marginalization or physical characteristics, as well as the compassion taken to piety and paternalistic intrusion of thevolunteering.
The Sennett analysis methodology is Erik Erikson’s model, tries to understand others through experience itself. Sennet analyzing the welfare status comes to analyze emotional links. Consider bureaucracy without a soul and thus no justice is done, it would be necessary to get the bureaucracy to admit the autonomy of those that serves and the dependents and sustained became autonomous. There must be mutual reciprocity and respect.
Educating social individuals capable of understanding the other and being able to treat them with respect and equality must be the priority in a society that tends to individualization and in a world of inequalities, where marginalized not only expect compassion without humanity, but also that They need compliance with rights in equality and justice.
