00:00:00 - 00:25:00

This video discusses the importance of civil society organizations in Mexico, and how they are changing the way society works. He talks about companies that are socially responsible and how they are changing the way the economy works. He also talks about how civil society is important in times of crisis, because it is the group of people that is responsible for taking care of everything in society.

• 00:00:00 The importance of charity and NGOs in Mexico is discussed today, as is the role of civil society organizations in developing public policies. Fernando Castañeda, from the Observatorio Cotidiano, discusses how the current political and social climate is leading to a resurgence of populist organizations. He also points out that while government-run organizations are important, it is the work of civil society organizations that truly embodies the spirit of democracy.
• 00:05:00 The importance of charity and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Mexico is highlighted in a series of videos. The videos show how contrary attitudes can be to the social conscience of society, but it is what we do in the 21st century that we need to question. We've grown accustomed to questioning freedom in the context of growth, but we question things more easily now. Citizens' power of opinion is reflected in social media even with the perversion that can be caused by bots, trolls, and other social media manipulation. In order to manage government, one head is not enough, as is evidenced by the trend of centralization. I believe that this trend is not the most appropriate way to facilitate our development, as while it is true as stated by Felipe in Europe, we are exploring a range of political initiatives. How many political parties could imagine what we are seeing, which is small ideas like Pirate Parties in Germany, Italy, and Spain, suddenly becoming prevalent? We need more oxygen in our societies and that oxygen is provided by decentralization and decentralization of decision-making. We are not speaking about anyone in particular, but of the power of the state, which needs to be limited by society as a whole. We debated this issue many years ago

• 00:15:00 This video discusses the importance of charitable organizations in Mexico, and how they can help businesses and the economy. Four key points are made: First, companies should work with social businesses if their sector has a market where technology can be transferred. Second, financial inclusion is important for these businesses to succeed, as is studying public policy in order to support job growth. Third, while social revolutions may initially be popular, they eventually lose momentum if they are not accompanied by improvements in the general welfare. Finally, while Mexican society has made many progresss in recent years, there is still a long road ahead before these organizations can become fully integrated into the mainstream economy.
• 00:20:00 Mexico had a better time in that era than we do now, and there is a peculiar thing about Mexican history- it was the Mexican Revolution of the 1970s that marked the beginning of a new era in terms of the public's belief in it. Mexico had progressed significantly by the end of that decade, and in fact, the best period for reducing inequality was precisely that decade. The next decade saw crises, and the country fractured into pieces. All of that is not surprising, considering that Mexico's economy was at its weakest by the early 1980s. The speaker of the panel, Manuel Barlett, said that he is waiting for an energy model like the ones in the early 2010s. That is really sad, because in 1938, the constitutional assembly that drafted the 1940 Constitution did the right thing by a country that had only 30 million inhabitants. But today, with energy sourced from solar, wind, and other environmentally-friendly sources, we could go back to buying coal and betting on environmentally-contaminating energy sources. Barlett believes that we have to orient ourselves towards three things: service, solidarity, and sobriety. The work we do always has the potential to benefit others, but we need to shift our economy and social model in that direction.
• 00:25:00 The importance of charity and NGOs in Mexico is highlighted in this video. The director general of Disney, for example, makes much more money than most workers in the company, and yet the workers have to change to a model where I would say that before money mattered, in an economy based on speculation and focused on making money, generating wealth is notGeneration of wealth. Speculation is a global casino that generates a lot of money, but does not generate wealth. In contrast, a productive economy based on human beings, with a society that includes everyone, is not possible without a strong social sector. Civil society organizations are essential for social inclusion, and I would say that this is what leads to values and culture. Ethics, responsibility, freedom, and participation are all important, but sadly we do not have the time to discuss them all. I just wanted to emphasize one important point: that civil society is a fundamental platform for social inclusion and social justice, and it cannot be believed that the state can achieve social inclusion. Social inclusion must reverberate through society, and one person includes another when they accept that the other is a citizen with the same rights as themselves. If we really want to become inclusive, we need the state to pass lots of laws to make us inclusive
