Editor,

WE are living in a society that has became increasingly lower in calories, both in food as in thought. Not only have we passed from the stew and a good plate of beans to the salad slightly seasoned but we have also created rules that subordinate the personal decision to a government dictatorship.
We have gone from thinking and reading to watch captivated the small screen. Models are copied more than following ideas.

Beyond entertainment, the media spectacle, more and more light to reach a wider audience, has become a transmitter of a culture "light" that once was known as instincts, destroying the classical virtues, breaking the authority in the family and school.

Offering in the TV series disastrous models, disguised as new ways of life, are presented as attractive, helping to undermine the values rooted in society.

In these fields involves not only market mechanisms for its loyal customers with new tastes and flavors, playing with emotions, because, influenced by politicians, is also involved 'media engineering' to convey ideologies that lead to society the channels they want, pursue a new model of man: to make man and woman a being detached from real links, left at the mercy of itself.

As a result, while the agitators of the street or microphone are awake, the show is watched by a passive citizenry and sleepy, waiting for someone to say Wake Up!
