Reflecting upon the effects of possible extraterrestrial influences on human behavior is totally reasonable.  The fact that there is no definitive scientific knowledge on the subject only shows the need to continue studying it seriously in order to find convincing explanations.  Let’s hope such influences can be controlled someday, if they really do exist.  For the time being, it seems unacceptable to cross one’s arms and expect magical solutions.

The pollution of the planet, social injustice, hunger, disease, crime and many other problems whose existence in the world today would be absurd to deny, justify the absolute need to seek new solutions in all fields.

The world we live in changes rapidly and does so faster every time.  The number of transformations and their depth increases constantly.  The advances in science, technology and post-industrial production are overwhelming.  In the past twenty years, the rate of displacement has been multiplied by 1000.  Media outlets reduce distances.  The complexity for directing and being directed has augmented.  The individual disappears within teams that grow more numerous every time.  No doubt that, in particular, the difficulties to adapt will increase with time.

To reverse the consequences of the damages caused to the habitat, it is required to have a complete knowledge of the natural processes involved and of the changes that will allow the normal development of the same.  This implies the obligation of great transformations in the bad habits of people both individually as well as collectively.  It is obvious that the fulfillment of this type of obligations will not flourish by spontaneous generation.  Instead, it demands a new form of behavior that will make them possible.  Every individual knows that the automobile is one of the greatest contaminating agents and the grave consequences that this brings.  But there will be hardly anyone willing to renounce the privilege of owning one or more cars during a short or long time.  Just like this one, there exists any given quantity of examples that provide evidence for the bad habits.

Another major problem affecting the nation is social injustice.  Lacking the basic elements for survival is something that no one can like, due to the anguish and suffering that this entails.

In the five continents of the terrestrial globe, many millions of human beings are forced to live in subhuman conditions.  They suffer from hunger and other tribulations, which, in turn, proliferate the development of diseases and other health problems.  With respect to the latter, it is convenient to mention the fact that they are largely due to the practice of bad habits, above all in nutrition, which is a determining factor in the state of one’s health.  Although in conditions of misery or extreme poverty people’s reactions are unpredictable, their inconvenience and great contribution to crime and other known ailments is indisputable.

The examination of these problems allows for the arrival, on a slightly higher level, at an important conclusion: in our country, the development of processes of reflection, conscientization and communication is much too deficient and, therefore, there is much left to do with respect to it.
