Depression: A Comprehensive Documentary Analysis of its Concept, History, and Alternative Approaches

2025-08-19T20:50:50+00:00

This text aims to provide information about depression; a common mental disorder associated with significant psychological distress. It explores the conceptualization, historical development, symptoms, possible causes and most common treatments for depression along with an alternative perspective, approached through a qualitative paradigm and a historical-hermeneutic lens. To this end, a documentary analysis was conducted using sources from the PubMed, Dialnet, Scielo, and Scopus databases. The findings suggest that comprehensive treatment for depression typically involves medication and psychological therapy. However, additional support strategies can enhance the healing process. This includes helping individuals more accurately identify and express emotions such as sadness, guiding them in redefining the meaning of life, and encouraging a shift from feelings of helplessness and victimization in the face of the illness to a sense of responsibility for their own well-being. Such strategies may contribute to initiating a more profound and authentic recovery.

Identifying Power Skills and Negotiation Competencies in Secondary Education Students: The Integrado Educational Institution in Cómbita

2025-11-06T20:34:11+00:00

The personal development of young secondary school students is essential for their social integration and professional success. In this regard, the inclusion of soft skills in the educational process has become increasingly important. However, these skills are not always formally addressed within the curriculum. The objective of this study, therefore, was to identify training needs in power skills and negotiation competencies among tenth- and eleventh-grade students at the Integrado Educational Institution in Cómbita, with the aim of designing a relevant educational module. The research followed a quantitative and descriptive approach, employing structured surveys administered to all tenth- and eleventh-grade students, as well as to grade directors, academic coordinators, and counselors at the institution. The findings indicate thar while students demonstrate moderate development of skills such as teamwork, they show significant weaknesses in negotiation and conflict resolution. Teachers, on the other hand, perceive limited development in core areas such as leadership and communication. This divergence underscores the importance of designing and implementing a training module that strengthens soft skills through practical strategies—simulations and role-playing activities—fostering more intentional and collaborative learning aligned with the demands of contemporary social and professional environment.

Understanding the Phenomenon of Death from University Students’ Perspective: An Indicator from Four Higher Education Institutions

2025-10-06T14:24:34+00:00

The objective of this study is to conduct a hermeneutic analysis of how young university students in today’s contemporary, secularized world understand the phenomenon of death. While the research follows a hermeneutic approach, its authors also developed a data collection instrument consisting of 50 statements with multiple-choice and true-false answer options. Answers were gathered from students at Universidad de San Buenaventura, Corporación Universitaria Lasallista, Corporación Universitaria Remington, and Universidad Católica de Oriente. The findings indicate that the majority of students approach death with clarity and courage. They place little importance to accompaniment at funeral rites and affirm that religious beliefs help alleviate the fear of death. The data also reflect a generally positive assessment of life. From a theological perspective, resurrection and reincarnation appear among student’s beliefs. For example, although they recognize the Christian experience of faith in the resurrection, they do not consider it central. Overall, students do not perceive death as something dreadful, but rather as one of the significant elements that give meaning to life. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of continuing to conceptualize the phenomenon of death as a meaningful existential act with a transcendent foundation—one that enables individuals to embrace life with courage and purpose.

Narco-productions in the historical memory debate in Colombia

2025-07-08T02:37:59+00:00

Colombia has been deeply impacted by drug trafficking, a phenomenon that has shaped its history and culture. This recurring theme has also been widely explored in the country’s audiovisual productions, drawing criticism for its pervasive presence. Accordingly, this article focuses on products that emphasis drug traffickers and their criminal activity—commonly known as narco-productions—to examine their role within the framework of historical memory and their potential contribution to promoting truth, reparation, and the non-repetition of the events that occurred during Colombia’s internal conflict. The text argues that such audiovisual works are part of the spectrum of historical memory by offering insight into the country’s experience of conflict. Although they often primarily center on perpetrators, these narratives provide a perspective that broadens our understanding of the events that have transpired over the years. In this way, narco-productions can be interpreted as a tool for reflecting on the complex reality of the Colombian conflict.

Humanity on Mars: Reflections on an Interplanetary Future, between a Technological Utopia and Ethical and Political Dilemmas

2025-08-04T20:21:08+00:00

This article reflects on the potential social, political, and cultural scenarios that may emerge from the establishment of human societies on Mars. By analyzing factors such as time, space, terraforming, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence the authors argue that Martian colonization should not be viewed merely as a technological milestone, but rather as a profound challenge to the construction of human institutions and values in non-Terrestrial contexts. The text explores identity and geopolitical tensions that could arise between Earth and Mars and underscores the urgent need to develop interplanetary institutions capable of guaranteeing justice, cooperation, and sustainability. The article contends that human survival beyond Earth will only be possible if accompanied by an ethical and humanistic commitment that avoids repeating the historical mistakes made on our home planet.

Unraveling Power: Foucault’s Transition from Pastoral to Neoliberal Governmentality

2025-10-15T16:03:27+00:00

This article examines, from a Foucauldian genealogical perspective, the transformation of forms of governmentality from Christian pastoralism to contemporary neoliberal rationality. Through a critical reading of power technologies —discipline, biopolitics, and security—the authors argue that these do not represent successive stages but rather coextensive rationalities that operate in tandem within the formation of modern government apparatuses. The central hypothesis is that neoliberal governmentality does not constitute a rupture with pastoral logic but rather a secularized reformulation of it: Neoliberalism inherits and reconfigures the structure of pastoral power, replacing spiritual salvation with economic self-realization, under the imperatives of freedom, competition, and self-exploitation. The analysis draws on seldom-discussed primary sources in Foucault’s thought, including Omnes et singulatim and lectures that supplement his courses at the Collège de France, as well as contemporary critical literature in Spanish. This articulation makes it possible to understand how neoliberalism produces subjectivities that, in the name of freedom, internalize norms of performance, efficiency, and individual culpability—thereby perpetuating a more subtle and effective logic of subjection.
