Hunters Of Formats
Birth is beautiful and miraculous, but it is also a fact that, arriving in the world, we do it naked, alone and disoriented; who knows where we come from and where we are going. In our need to socialize us and be part of the collective, we grow, we look, we learn, we copy. We intuitively take the prevailing format of our environment to avoid being isolated. When children, the format acquires a dimension of survival and complacency; When adults, the format acquires a dimension of response and processing. Before the existential ambiguity, contradictions that characterize us and doubts that we cause, seek desperately grabbing us to one or multiple formats. In the background, we yearn for a format to think, to feel, to conceive an idea of God.
In the form, we yearn for a format to dress, to talk, to deploy towards the world. In practice, we yearn for a format to work, to form a family, to cope with everyday life. It is a format gives us structure to seat us and provides us with goals, rules, limits and procedures to lead us. Ahh, what a great relief, I already have a format for x, z, w; libero me of ambiguity. Hunters of formats. Our status as hunters of animals not already prevalent in the contemporary world.
Instead of hunting mammoths to eat and tigers so we don’t eat, now what hunt are formats of life that they are adapting to our stage and circumstance. Receive spiritual format from our parents, and when we think less about it, we are already Catholics, Jews, Protestants or what has been our family. Although there is a clear difference between the spiritual and the religious, the tendency is to merge them. This format explains to us where we come from, why we are on Earth, where we are going when we die earthly and what awaits us afterwards.
12.3.18White House Politics
In accordance Senna (2009), political stability in the region is of urgent interest, especially in issues concerning the situation in Colombia, the problem of Chavez, the Bolivarian crisis and coup in Honduras. Both of those issues are for Brazil and for the government of the White House of vital importance and urgent solution, which brings them a certain way in a common destiny, at least in regard to their interests within Latin America. Thus, the consolidation of an alliance between the two countries (leaders in their region), would give the U.S. the advantage of having a strategic partner able to isolate Venezuela and the countries that are anti-imperialist politics of Chavez in South America especially Bolivia. Amazon addresses the importance of the matter here. Moreover, if we take into account the geopolitics of the region and the fact that Colombia has yielded to the interests of the U.S. to establish military bases within its territory, to have Brazil as an ally, would be intrinsically establishing a fence to the interests of the Venezuelan leader within the Southern Cone. In relation to this, Brazil has begun to buy weapons as a defense strategy but, unfortunately for U.S.
Hegemony, Lula seems quite interested in the various international options and seeing beyond what the U.S. can offer, has found most advantageous to diversify their markets and bargain with France the purchase and development of military technology within their country, a situation that involves some departure from the White House. This means both a reconfiguration in the South American country’s foreign policy and a refusal to pressure North thus finding an alternative that will help end dependency.
