Education against Halo Effect


The United States is a democratic country whose government is elected in the ballot by constituents, and where public agencies are merely set, not to guarantee its staff’s prosperity, but to help people, ultimately constituents, avoiding bias or hallo effect.

The halo effect or halo error is a cognitive bias leading to think that a person and what he or she can do is determined by who he or she is; that the person or his or her origin determines behavior and personality.

Halo effect is when thinking that all Muslins are terrorists; that all Cubans speak lout; that all flowers have nice fragrance.

Education for all and race interaction is the best way to avoid bias or halo effect.

Ruego a la Virgen de los Cubanos (francés y español)

 
Vierge
Sainte Marie
Toute si miséricorde
Pour nous viens et prie
De nous voir en concorde
Pour que se dissipe cette colère
Qui nous entrave d’aimer,
Là, où il n’y a qu’une terre
De nous tous le lieu sacré
 
Oh, Vierge Reine
Aide-nous, pécheurs
Pour que pousse la Fleur
Dans une terre sans haine
 
                                                                  Vierge Marie, Toute Sainte
Mère de notre Très-Haut
Prie que périsse la crainte
Qui nous fait tous des rivaux
 
Santa Maria, Madre del Urgido
Ruega por los cubanos
                                                                      Con lágrimas te lo pido
                                                                  Para volver a ser hermanos           
Amantísima de vientre divino
Donde llevaste al Señor
La puerta y el camino
Y semilla de amor
 
Purísima Santa Maria
Más que pecadores
Somos sufridos todavía
De la separación y los dolores
 
Protégenos con tu prodigioso manto
Que queremos ser felices
Y recobrar sin más llanto
Nuestras dignas raíces

Banderas


Banderas

 

Hay una bandera tricolor

Como la suya todo el mundo

La veo hermosa, con esplendor

Que amo con amor profundo

 

La bandera de la estrella solitaria

De historia aguerrida

Y la de cincuenta con gloria

Que también es la mía querida

 

 

All for all


Tears of melancholy, lacking relief,

Pour fields and cities like rain

While few for joy and reign

Drive all of us into grief!
 

From the East to the South

From the North to the West

Thousand with empty the mouth

While few our time do waste!
 

No wonder, fire, blood and dust

The dawn of gray decorate

While few together must,

Make, amen, peace our fate!
