De inmediato puse de manifiesto mi disgusto con esa pr\u00e1ctica. &#8220;Me siento enga\u00f1ado cuando veo que un alumno hace trampa&#8221;, le dije. &#8220;Yo no pienso lo mismo&#8221;, me respondi\u00f3 sorpresivamente. &#8220;Siempre he cre\u00eddo -dijo- que los alumnos tienen derecho a intentar ganar el examen por medios prohibidos; lo que pasa es que uno tambi\u00e9n tiene derecho a descubrirlos y a castigarlos por eso.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Record\u00e9 entonces la pel\u00edcula &#8216;El gran escape&#8217;, con Steve McQueen, que cuenta la historia de unos prisioneros en un campo de concentraci\u00f3n nazi que no solo tratan de escapar a cada momento, sino que ponen de presente, ante quienes los custodian, su intenci\u00f3n e, incluso, su deber de intentar escapar. <\/p>\n<p>Estoy seguro de que para mi colega la situaci\u00f3n de sus alumnos no es igual a la de los prisioneros de El gran escape. Para m\u00ed tampoco. El primero es un caso de viveza tramposa; el segundo, un caso de rebeld\u00eda. Sin embargo, creo que hay algo que comparten estas dos situaciones: ambas ven la relaci\u00f3n entre el que manda y el que obedece como una competencia. No hay autoridades, sino enemigos. No hay reglas, sino imposiciones. Ambas, aunque por razones diferentes, repudian las reglas. <\/p>\n<p>Colombia no es un campo de concentraci\u00f3n, pero aqu\u00ed muchos creen tener una especie de derecho a la desobediencia. Para ellos, la sociedad est\u00e1 dividida en dos bandos. El de los que mandan -gobernantes, patronos, jefes, profesores, etc.- y el de los que obedecen. Ninguno de los dos est\u00e1 all\u00ed por razones de m\u00e9rito. La suerte, la astucia o el dinero explican &#8220;el derecho&#8221; a mandar, tanto como el infortunio o la pobreza explican el &#8220;deber&#8221; a obedecer. <\/p>\n<p>Para estos insumisos, la sociedad es vista como una competencia, en la que solo ganan los m\u00e1s astutos. El fraude y la corrupci\u00f3n son expresiones naturales de esa emulaci\u00f3n, en donde ni la moral ni lo p\u00fablico cuentan. La multa, la c\u00e1rcel o la muerte son fatalidades del juego; no son castigos sociales. Se crea as\u00ed una cultura del incumplimiento gallardo, que desprecia al ciudadano obediente. La cultura del antisapo, tan difundida en nuestro medio, tiene mucho que ver con este desprecio por la autoridad y por las reglas.<\/p>\n<p>Es cierto que en Colombia abundan las situaciones en las que se justifica pensar que quienes nos mandan son m\u00e1s enemigos que gobernantes. Sin embargo, tambi\u00e9n creo que parte del desmadre nacional est\u00e1 en que todos nos sentimos autorizados para invocar cualquier tipo de razones como suficientes para no obedecer. Con esa actitud, no es nada dif\u00edcil justificar -incluso de buena fe- la viveza tramposa como un acto de rebeld\u00eda. <\/p>\n<p>Un requisito importante para lograr una sociedad ordenada y pac\u00edfica consiste en reconocer que debemos acatar las normas, incluso cuando -dentro de ciertos l\u00edmites, claro- ellas tienen un contenido con el cual no estamos de acuerdo, o incluso un contenido injusto. <\/p>\n<p>Creo que parte importante de la debilidad de nuestras instituciones proviene de esa cultura pol\u00edtica, que no solo ve en la autoridad a un enemigo, sino que supedita la obediencia a la justicia. (La objeci\u00f3n de conciencia es una excepci\u00f3n, no una regla.) <\/p>\n<p>Claro que el opuesto a esta cultura que desprecia la autoridad y las reglas me parece igualmente reprochable. Me refiero a ese pretendido unanimismo entre gobernantes y gobernados -al estilo Jos\u00e9 Obdulio Gaviria- a trav\u00e9s del cual se busca desvanecer la oposici\u00f3n pol\u00edtica en una especie de confusi\u00f3n entre la exaltaci\u00f3n patri\u00f3tica y la alabanza al gobierno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The author considers that one of the most important causes of weakness in our institutions is the culture of breach of generalized appearance in Colombia.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-el-tiempo-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
