Racism# American History X & Malcolm X

From the Nazis to Al Qaeda, with different purposes, we see racism ascending from human heart. Are wrong those who stereotype this feeling. For me is the easier way to describe it, a complex felling, many say that’s a complex problem so the solution isn’t so simple as that but I disagree, because in simple details lay the solution to complex problems. Closed-mind might be the indicated term. How such state can be achieved? Flow of influences. Life shows up, there’s always someone who teaches the others. Someone extremely convincing, very perceptible, the mind-keeper. Generally, only a single person gets straight contact with the mind-keeper and most of time is someone who has a violent past, I mean, someone susceptible to a violent conflict, full of anger, full of revolt, dying to blame a race for one person of it. Let me call him the mind-kept. Once he’s chosen, carefully, the conversion gets started, the mind-keeper just needs to inflame what’s in flames already. Spreading all way down the hierarchy what was taught is the next step to do. Passing the message is vital, I mean, minds must be closed apart from reality, the information must be locked in. An analogy: imagine a chess’s board, the mind-kept is the central piece of it, King, in which the Queen is the right-hand of king, and both task is to collect the other pieces. The mind-keeper? Well, he’s seated, moving all players, knocking down opponents with the purpose of reach his own cause. Let me now make an approach to King’s personality: he must has a character strongly directed to leadership, a commander, a guy who the rest see as an example, as someone to wanna-be.

The other ones? Must be submissive, and usually have already their own record against society, the leader just pull the trigger being erudite, that’s the key to keep them under command. In that point, the delightful and usefulness comes together. He (mind-kept) has much more power than ever, he is worshiped, fanatically followed and extremely manipulative and manipulated. The unit becomes more organized, the attacks more violent and morality seems gone from their minds, that’s extremely interesting, from my point of view, you see, Superego is known as the moral part of our psychic and appears that the way it restricts actions changes dramatically with the knowledge received, I clarify: you have angry and have to lunch out of home, Superego would say “you will lunch but you gotta pay, that’s the right thing to do (is moral)”. What happens is that normally you wouldn’t beat somebody until dead because your Superego restricts that action, “You must not do that!” but in situations triggered by such gangs you see happening something completely different, it’s like: “Hey! That black over there! beat him up, let’s kill him”, “what are you doing? Stop it!”, “why? He deserve it.” … here we see clearly something learned being imposed instead a natural response, it seems like Superego changes its parameters, it’s like there is a selection over who is applied a moral concept, “Don’t beat him up” “Just beat the black guy” … The racism itself only generates more racism. Is a mix of hate, lost, anger, and a huge desire of revenge. Is a vicious circle. Why an entire race? Is always an impertinent question. What leads someone to hate one person only because his color? I think is the best point to start. Causes are diverse but essential lay on society, education and genetic. In short, we all are the result of complex interactions unrolled in three plans: social, genetic and psychological, what means that every single action we make is the result of these interactions. How do we change the way we react? Well, it’s not like teaching a dog how to seat, is more complex than that. The ID, our psychic primitive region, will always interfere in the way we react, Ego will always be the intermediary between ID and referred Superego. What’s left? Can we change even a bit our behavior? I say undoubtedly yes. Let’s rewind: social level is perhaps the field where we can make the greatest progresses such as have a fair and quick justice and educating not to hurt but to denounce hurt and that’s only possible if we understand what hurt is about. Minds most be free but some edges must be established, psychological education would be appropriate, as soon as possible. Genetically? Is true that ones have more propensity to violence but we can’t blame the genes, remember, they define what we are and not who we are, the experiences we pass through, the environment we live, the knowledge we reach is what defines how our brain processes information. The world? The truth is, we weren’t here always and we will not be … one thing is for sure, if we reached the position we reached was because our gender along evolution learned how to work together, how to cooperate, why is language here for? Communicate right? Certainly… Life is too short to be wasted, prejudices must be taken down. Religion must bring us together and not apart. This is an important point due what’s happening actually with terrorist attacks. You see, what’s that beyond racism? Its like “ lets kill the non-believers! The unclean ones! In the name of Allah!”, morality seems gone from their minds too. If their God is who they claim He is than he is extremely racist and the lessons he teaches are wrong.


No matter what,


inside we all look pretty the same, remember, we all came from the same ancestors, white color is only the result of a mutation.


Do not be emotional, be rationally emotional.

Hall of fame

Louis Pasteur

Birthday date: 27th December, 1822

The truth is surprising: as young, Louis Pasteur was a lazy student. His teachers never thought he was quite clever, as ahead he would show.

He studied physics and chemistry in Paris and chemistry was even the discipline in which we got a lower grade. Despite of that, later, He became a wise teacher and was one of the bigger scientists of ever, a genius of science. Only through one huge thirst of knowledge and an inexhaustible will of work the immortality was conquered and the death was defeated.

Facing all the expectations, the success arrived much early. With twenty six years he discovered the secret of crystals and a few time later he realized that the air we breathe it’s full of very small beings, He called them the invisible giants. Perhaps Pasteur already knew that these beings, apparently armless, were responsible for much part of the diseases shown in living beings. For sure he knew that the microorganisms used to enter in our organism with the purpose of unleash diseases. It was not easy to prove such theory in a time when all scientists thought that microorganisms were fruit of our own organism and not from outside. He wouldn’t give up anyway, He even bottled air to prove it, under the laugh of his colleagues , of course they didn’t even guess that what he was doing would become indispensable to his theory: none living being, including microorganisms, can appear in the world without descend from at least other of the same specie. In the course of his experiences, Pasteur could show up that microorganisms live in the air and reproduce themselves, entering in our body when they “feel” we are weakened and is the best shot to take. This was a very important discovery but his greatest feat, vaccine, would take more time to be created.

Before it, he helped the French farmers, solving a big problem: the quick sourness of wine. He observed microscopically the wine and found some kind of very short vegetation, called yeasts. Therefore, the yeasts were spoiling the wine, making it vinegary. Pasteur understood that wasn’t possible to take out those little creatures, they had to be killed and the only possible way: heat them up. The problem lied in the fact that the wine couldn’t heat up to high temperatures because it would change its quality. Persistent, Pasteur made a lot of experiences and found the solution: it was only necessary rise the wine’s temperature about sixty degrees centigrade to kill the microorganisms. These experiences gave rise to a much known process called pasteurization.

Pasteur was, undoubtedly, a chemistry genius and started to be called to solve the riddles that more nobody could. There was even a time when he was asked to find the origin of a plague which was killing thousands of silkworms. Pasteur, after some research, figured out that the butterfly was transmitting to her own eggs the disease and hence died so many of them. It was necessary to exterminate all larvae, butterflies and eggs which weren’t healthy. He had saved the French Industry of Silk and now, he’s stories of success were told not only in France but also abroad.

Modest, simple and not vain, Pasteur used to say that he only worked to help mankind. But, the fact of two of his sons have died with typhoid fever explain the dedication to Medicine and to studies about diseases caused by microorganisms.

Carbuncle was one of the first diseases studied by Pasteur. In that time, were dying many animals, mostly sheep due this disease. He discovered the responsible microorganism and made an experience: vaccinated twenty five sheep with the germ which caused the disease and left other twenty five sheep for vaccinate. Then he infected them all with the microorganism which made they feel sick. Happened that all vaccinated sheep survived and the others died. This was the first success of vaccination. However, he refused money to patent the medicine.

He wondered if would be worthwhile try to apply the same principles in the cure of human diseases. About 1880 Pasteur started to study the rage disease (affect animals, especially dogs, and normally is transmitted to humans by a nibble). Firstly, he discovered the rage virus. Then he used its “good” part to create an antidote and transformed it into a vaccine. Later, He started to inoculate it in the dogs but he didn’t have the courage to do the same in humans, until when on 6th July, 1885, a woman knocked on his door. She was carrying a boy with nine years old that was bitten by a dog fourteen times. The mother begged him to heal her son but the scientist didn’t want to experiment the serum in the kid named Joseph Meister because so far he never had used the vaccine in humans. However, once there was no other solution, eventually the kid would die with or without the inoculation, he applied the first of twelve anti-rage vaccines. During many weeks, the scientist and boy’s family feared the worst but in the end, Joseph Meister survived. From that time, people that had been bitten by raged dogs started to go to his laboratory asking for help. They came from different places of France and even from abroad although doctors didn’t recognize the worthwhile of Pasteur, what’s unthinkable, even because before his investigations, the only medicine available against rage was a spike in hot coal to burn the dog’s bite.

The vaccines were a huge triumph to medicine. Without them it’s difficult even think in survival.

Pasteur Institute:

The success of anti-rage vaccine was so enormous that the French Academy of Sciences decided to build one Institution dedicated only to laboratorial investigation. The Pasteur Institute was established in 1888 and is nowadays one of the most known centers of scientific investigation.

Curiosity – The HIV virus was isolated for the first time in these laboratories. This Institution without profitable ends was presided by Louis Pasteur until his death (28th September, 1895) and has a team of scientists that globally has eight Nobel Prizes in Medicine.

Microscope:

Nobody knows for sure who created it. Generally, its invention is attributed to Hans Janssen, Dutch glasses manufacturer, and his son Zacarias, in the year of 1590. However, will have been the Dutch Anton van Leeuwenhoek, that lived between 1632 and 1723, who made the first microscopic observations. He was a textile trader that used to mount lends. It was precisely through curved glasses that he mounted in a rudimental microscope that he saw little creatures which were walking along the drops of rain, vinegar and saliva. He was not a scientist but woke up the interest of scientific community. The first microscope had only one lend and so it couldn´t amplify very much.
