[Psychosocial deliberations over the present man].
The first fact mentioned is the need which every society has had of forming directors or leaders, whether able or not, whom to hold responsible; and at the end, whom to blame for all the failures of said society. The seriousness which implies the wrong choosing of a leader is reviewed, and at the same time, both, the cautiousness that should be practiced and the characteristics which he should bear. The harmfulness that can be released by the mass-media means of communication in the election of leaders has been mentioned. At present, a vital importance has been given to success interpreted as power and wealth, without taking into consideration the moral and material crushing which comes along with it. The reason for a "generation gap" is considered as the lack of understanding between parents and children, although sometimes the money gifts and the material comforts are over and above; in any case, youth must modify the reason for the breaking up without having to take trips into artificial paradises, but instead mending those errors: this is their great commitment. The present tendency to consider the psychiatrists as a panacea and, therefore, able to solve all the problems of today's man is discussed. Although this is not true, the psychiatrist is able to remedy many maladies if and when he acquires, beforehand, absolute maturity and is able to pass over said maturity to the rest of the people.
