Valores Cívicos y Sociales - La resilencia

¿ Eres una persona resilente?

En esta entrada del blog podrás descubrir si tienes una capacidad humana muy útil: la resilencia.

En primer lugar, supongo que te harás una de estas preguntas:

¿ Qué es ser resilente? o ¿ Qué es la resilencia?

Para que puedas averiguarlo y luego realizar la tarea que te voy a proponer debes leer el artículo que puedes encontrar en el siguiente enlace y ver el vídeo pinchando en la imagen de abajo.

ARTÍCULO : "  RESILENCIA: LOS 12 HÁBITOS DE LAS PERSONAS RESILENTES.

Una vez que tienes la información sobre esta capacidad te toca pensar un poco, hacer un esfuerzo para conocerte a ti mismo/a y contestar por escrito en un folio a estas cuestiones.

1. ¿ Ves en ti mismo/a algunos de los hábitos de las personas resilentes? ¿ Cuáles tienes y cuáles no tienes?

2. Pon un ejemplo de una situación en la que tú mismo/a o alguien que tú conozcas haya tenido una conducta resilente.

Cuando volvamos de las vacaciones de Navidad compartiremos las respuestas en clase.

Un saludo.

Questions about : THE RESTORATION: 1875-1923

 

1º  What did the peaceful turn (turno pacífico) consist of during the reign of Alfonso XII?

 

Under his reign, there was a new political system: the turno Pacífico. Only two political parties were permitted: the Liberals and the Conservatives. These parties took turns in holding power.

In this new system of alternating power, there were two key political figures:

3º What were the pros and cons of the Restoration period?

 

PROS:

 

·       After a century of instability, Spain was stable again.

 

·       It was a period of economic prosperity and modernization.

 

·       There was peace and prosperity in Cuba and Puerto Rico.

 

 

CONS:

 

·       The only way to guarantee the system would work was through electoral fraud: the King chose the government and the result of the election was decided in advance.
