Source text - English Career Guidance and Counseling as an instrument of Individual Dignity
As we come to this tenth decade of the 20th century and the eve of the 21st century we, as counselors, find ourselves in a world that continues to struggle between conflicting desires to either degrade or enhance human dignity. By many definitions the worldwide downsizing of work opportunities; the rise of, and the persistence of high rates of unemployment; the permanent dislocation from jobs of persons whose training or skills are inadequate to cope with changing job requirements as well as of persons whose skills are quite good but for whom there are insufficient places; the policies that bar persons from work or occupational mobility because of ageism, sexism, or racism; the constant depletion of natural resources and the uncontrolled pollution of the natural environment in order to produce economic gain are each assaults on or barriers to human dignity. At the beginning of 1994, about 30 percent of the world’s labor force —820 million people— were unemployed or underemployed: 120 million were registered as unemployed and 700 million were underemployed with an income that does not reach a minimum standard of living.
As the nations of the world are in a state of transition in the levels and kinds of work available to citizens that is no less dramatic than that which accompanied the industrial revolution of the 20th century, the behavioral metaphors, psychological structures, and the economic and social institutions of the world are undergoing rapid and comprehensive transformation. The decade in which we find ourselves is being variously called the age of unreason, the age of paradox, the end of work, postmodern, postindustrial. Certainly, as these elements of the social and economic structures of the world’s societies change in the 21st century, so will the ways by which people negotiate their personal identity, live out their self-concepts, and come to terms with their perceptions of human dignity or its lack.
Translation - Spanish El asesoramiento y la orientación vocacional como un instrumento de dignidad individual.
A medida que nos acercamos a los últimos años del siglo XX y a los primeros del siglo XXI, nosotros, como asesores, nos vemos inmersos en un mundo en donde la dignidad humana aún se ve afectada por deseos encontrados que persiguen su degradación o enaltecimiento. Existen diversos factores: la disminución mundial de oportunidades laborales; el aumento y la permanencia de altos índices de desempleo; el continuo desplazamiento laboral, tanto de personas cuya capacitación o aptitudes son insuficientes para hacer frente a los requisitos de trabajo que van modificándose, como de personas cuyas aptitudes son muy buenas, pero para quienes no hay suficientes ofertas; las políticas que no permiten desarrollar una carrera laboral, o una movilidad social (ascendente), por discriminación de edad, sexo o raza; el constante agotamiento de recursos naturales y la polución incontrolada del medioambiente con fines de enriquecimiento económico; cada uno de ellos es un atentado o un obstáculo para la dignidad humana. A comienzos de 1994, alrededor de un 30% de la mano de obra mundial —820 millones de personas— estaban desempleados o subempleados: 120 millones de ellos se encontraban registrados como desempleados y 700 millones estaban subempleados, con ingresos que no alcanzan para sostener un mínimo nivel de vida.
Las metáforas conductuales, las estructuras psicológicas y las instituciones económicas y sociales de todo el mundo están sufriendo una transformación vertiginosa y global; esto se debe a que las todas las naciones se encuentran en un estado de transición —no menos dramático que aquel que acompañó a la revolución industrial del siglo XX—, en lo que respecta a niveles y tipos de trabajo disponibles para sus ciudadanos. Hay diversas denominaciones para la década en la que nos encontramos viviendo: la edad de la insensatez, la edad de la paradoja, el fin del trabajo, la edad postmoderna, postindustrial. Con seguridad, a medida que vayan introduciéndose cambios en estos elementos pertenecientes a las estructuras sociales y económicas de las sociedades del siglo XXI, también se modificará el modo como las personas defiendan su identidad personal, experimenten el concepto que tienen sobre sí mismos, y se reconcilien con sus percepciones sobre la dignidad humana, o su ausencia.
