200 years ago a group of young people and not
as young as you in America
latina proclaimed independence and
Freedom were young and not so young
committed to the demands of the
public life
we know that public life has
demands when we need to go out to the
street and claim rights and freedoms
that we can not just claim enclosed
in our houses
200 years ago those citizens like
you were elderly 0.0 of course
they did not have twitter
instagram the digital resources that today
in day
we have however assumed that
they had to go out to the streets at
places to demand what
they consider valuable today you do not need
go out a lot to the street since the
digital signals allow only
One click to communicate with a sea of
knowledge and share with a sea of
people we do not know and even
raise our demands before
people we do not know and even
during the political class that we did not
listen to the citizens of the past
they were very committed to the
demands of the public road
it was what was called the freedom of the
old ones it was required that life
public, there were so many demands
We sacrificed to our spaces
most elementary of our private life
today the freedom of the moderns demands
also reserve a little bit of us
in our private life
art, literature, television ,
cinema and television series that
we are constantly fine we are
take refuge on our threshold of small
privacy and invites us sometimes to not
Commit ourselves to the demands
of the public life of the citizen road
that is otherwise demanding
let me tell you a story
thinker called jean jacques rousseau
that you know a lot
you have surely heard it
since it greatly influenced the
culture
he said that actually the old
citizen in would situate that which
he was involved in the public road and
that it will also be required to participate in
the democratic life
Russo was not as naive as he sometimes
we believe that democracy
perfect was almost impossible
however he argued that important
participate in that public life to the point
that is still idealized on the day of
today the category of citizen does not
considered that I believe in the world
current that none of those who are
here and that surely we are
listening would be delivered to life
public by completely renouncing its
private life
however there are times when it is necessary
go out to the public road and
freedom are two different things to
be free you do not need to be a citizen
to be a citizen sometimes I do not know
It needs to be free but maybe the ideal
be that we were all citizens and
free free men and citizens in the
Past in the story I told you
200 years ago
good part of those young people and not so
young people proclaim independence and
freedom but we know that they are things
different in the frontispiece of the
justice palace of bogotá de la
Republic of Colombia holds the
idea
francisco de paula santander according to the
which weapons will cross independence
the laws will give us freedom is not
therefore be the same tea citizen
free man
the first challenge that citizens have
2.0
those who have access to networks
digital
many of you I see it from here
besieging well on their cell phones
refugees in their privacy or in connecting
and replicate even in the instant what
I am commenting to you today and
exchange with many people the
political and non-political message that
you want to give the world those
citizens 2.0 can and should some
Sometimes participate in public life
especially if we have institutions and
political systems and systems
Institutions that do not reflect in good
As the aspirations of all
young in some cases
and let me give you this reference in
some young cases like you in
countries where freedom is
insured
it does not require so much involved in the
public road since there are so many
so many institutional strengths
institutional strengths from
laws from organs with
independence and impartiality that we
they assure us that we can devote ourselves to many things
in fact in those countries the
flower knowledge in the arts flowers
in literature flowers in many things
in fact we are tributaries of all those
things that we enjoy today but
in countries where our freedom
so assured
we know that sometimes citizens demand
more of us will have to have a
double paper
It will be necessary to go out to the street
even go beyond twitter and
of the instagram really facing us
to power does not mean that in the world
modern there is not this tragedy of
demarcation between the demands of
freedom and citizenship for it
iun a television series very
known
a famous character with yellow skin and
pronounced eyes and what should be done in
your house very funny you know what I
mean Homer took refuge in his house
and is not constantly dictation
attending what is happening in your
community
he is happy simply locked in
himself but there is a mayor jean that
area that does what it wants and without
However, people are victims of
what I mean by this is that the
modern world also there the paradox
of separating citizenship from the
freedom
He is not a bad adviser in our
countries
the fight is different in good part
many of the citizens have a
double task the task of posing that
they want you to aspire that they want
if the institutions are fragile the
our freedom of expression
our freedom of thought that
that we deeply believe will not be able to
be transmitted with due clarity
with which we want to transmit it and for
that many citizens in our networks
digital
we see that constantly up to date
send a thousand messages and sometimes the classes
policies are pretty deaf tweet
posing in digital networks is a
fabulous space
nowadays we get a lot
information on the internet but it’s not
the only way and in fact the most
indicated to exercise our rights
politicians that’s what the task is about
citizen you have to get involved you have to
get involved in organizations that
tradition has indicated that they are the
more apt to make life
democratic but sometimes also those
institutions do not give us certain
incentives to participate and therefore
who prefer that we prefer apathy
when you participate in
political organizations and
organizations that are dedicated to
fully exercise political life
surely if we ask to raise hands
I do not think there are many
that is, the majority of you
think that the ideal to form is
in his preparation to devote himself to things
that they consider and that is extremely
valuable and necessary but in the times
they claim more of us
the freedom that I’m talking about
in our freedom only politics is
individual freedom
that which is only possible through
of the laws through the
institutions and therefore loved ones
friends it is necessary that also
let’s participate in public life since
that do not participate in public life
the result is disastrous
It is unfortunate that we can lose
individual freedom
I come from a country where many
young for a long time some cases
my ancestors decided not
take part
the country had everything and therefore
Aaron takes refuge in his private life
the consequences I can not mention
now surely the waves will be able to guide
and many of our countries
the demands are necessarily
engage in that public road
what does it mean to commit to the
public life announced our life
test in no way each of the
spaces has its scope of action
over there in a television series
also interesting
fanon del good a very character
interesting tells us that if we want
challenge our superiors there are
challenge what happens if we do not have
citizens that defy power the
will be able to do with citizens what
want
the power will do with individuals what
therefore it is necessary that there is
that decisive participation and challenge
to the power
what I ‘m talking about today is not so
popular as phone brands like
shoes like jill is like many of the
things to which we dedicate
a lot of tension and in fact they are
thinking is that it is something extremely
abstract is all citizenship and
freedom but it has very repercussions
concrete
the majority of the television mainstream
is showing us and the culture in
general is showing us that there is a
so great demarcation in civilization
feel between the two things that
reconciling the work requires we have
come society are fractured that
those political positions that
we consider contrary we organize them
and has reached such a level also the
networks that are a powerful vehicle for
information and communication
knowledge that has finished us
isolating we have and it ‘s within the network and
in which it is easy for us to communicate
with those that have the same
messages that we mentioned 2.0
has a fundamental task should
participate in the network should spread and
expand knowledge to spread
information
must interact in a few minutes
we can read voltaire wade vision to
only a small fee
but we can also watch television or
we can also communicate with
someone who is far away the plains
2.0
have an advantage that they did not have the
plains 0.0 of what I spoke to you in the
past and this is powerful is very
powerful
citizens 2.0 can not only
access the network
in that sense but also and from
done they do it in many countries they
organize politically through the
net
the plain 2.0 as a famous says
Italian political scientist Giovanni Sartori no
It can become the famous message
Italian political scientist Giovanni Sartori
I mentioned that we now have videos
Leader
well you can not spend either
2.0
the sky us point zero can not
become the message should spread
messages and that requires certain
preparation certain interaction with the
society so you can know even
your own society and be an agent of
change in those technological networks in the
Latin American world is that
we are interested
we have seen how again of that
information exercise many of the
people pose the challenges that the
modern democratic society but there
to cover your ears
you have to read them and listen to them and that
demands time and dedication
finally I will tell you only something that
can be striking or powerful at the end
Cienciano 2.0 thinks that from the
digital networks is that you can live in
peace
can obviate the quite decisive fact
that networks can be controlled or
altered by governments
the networks are silver is a platform and
therefore it also requires a defense
even in the world of the network because there
the necessary freedom so that we can
express ourselves freely and with purpose
what safié I raised in the morning
next that we never give up those
things for which we struggle we aspire
and we want but we also use the
platforms to raise all those
messages but we never believe that only
those platforms are going to be the guarantee
necessary for the preservation of
citizenship of political rights
but especially of the individual freedom
thank you very much
[Applause]
