Society Analysis

SOCIETY

It is common to affirm that the experience of time seems, with modernity,

to suffer an acceleration.

We have this feeling of existing at high speed.

Before an increase in the rhythm of modern time, one should speak of an “atomization” of it: There is no longer a space

between one instant and the next, that is, there is no duration, and this is so because

now time lacks orientation, sense, direction.

04

Modernity, therefore, more than an acceleration consists of a loss of the element that brings together time, which gives it a unitary form, a meaning.

There is a dispersion of the world as a whole, so that each object becomes disconnected,

ephemeral; even your identity.

There is a disintegration of the world,

the experience of an acceleration of time is only one of its symptoms.

Time is usually understood as a sequence of instants,

as in the Newtonian model.

Now, this implies a qualitative indistinction between them, so they are valued as similar, becoming time, therefore, little more

than the passage

from one present to another, simple succession,

thus censoring any possibility of duration, of permanence: Time is, here,

an avalanche of moments that have no support, driving.

By not having restraint, unity,

direction, time cannot properly accelerate,

that is,“arrive earlier” to a destination it lacks.

In modern existence, this comes to point out that the idea of living in a hurry to have

a greater number of experiences constitutes, indeed, a confusion between abundance and consummation,

between enumeration and narration.

Therefore, what has historically been understood as an acceleration of modern time

is now shown as simple disorientation, confusion, nonsense.

This restlessness, this life of stumbling blocks, has one of its causes in the loss or distancing of the gods, the Heideggerian times of misery, because they no longer act as storytellers of history,

they no longer confer a beginning

and an end, a sense.

The time now secularized is a straight line in which the present

is nothing but a transition, a step in a vector.

This teleology guarantees a certain sense of unity of meaning in a temporality that allows men to orient themselves

existentially;

However, it is with the onset of postmodernity that this computer horizon dissolves and men abandon themselves to the busy and nervous wandering, to zapping.

Postmodern time makes duration impossible, either through

an instant succession of technology

through programmed obsolescence or the market of novelties and fashions.

Following Lyotard at this point, we consider that the postmodern condition allows a

“particular experience of Being” in which it is shown in its nakedness,

stark, independent of the sense and worldview that would impose a form, a pre-established sense:

only Thus, the full event can be experienced,

free of narrative imposition.

This experience

of the moment

would, therefore, be incapable of thematization, nonsense, the pure “Da-” unconscious, a soul without spirit.

This perspective is deeply distanced from the Heideggerian thought where,

despite a rebellion against the disintegration of time

in a mere succession of moments, a resolution of the self is sought,

thus building a narrative instance

based on the throwing into one’s death.

However, Heideggertakes

distance from his first considerations and moves, after the Kehre, towards a state of serenity, towards a contemplative life not oriented by a specific perspective, but capable of the delay in what is delivered, in the donated.

SOCIETY

Since modern time

is not capable of duration, the interval between an event and the next is an empty, boring, bland

moment, so these interludes must be shortened,

thus distancing the stillness.

They have considered, unlike Baudrillard, that it is not the acceleration per se that causes human disorientation, but it is the previous loss of consciousness that demands

the acceleration of history understood as a succession of events.

An instant in which nothing happens is now dead time, lost: every second must, therefore, devote itself

to a task,

to an activity, to progress.

SOCIETY

Now, contemplation, detention, is unrealizable

if you live in a world based on the acceleration of instants, as it is today.

During this period, the break is nothing more than a break, a time for the recovery of the workforce, and not a true duration.

In this sense, the task of finding a new existence in which

contemplation is not only passive and static relaxation but, like the Aristotelian god, is an activity that rests in

itself,

is evident.

In short, it is essential, for a duration to be possible, to live in a world where work does not impose its form on all existence, where life is activated does not oppose the contemplative life; In short,

where work is a means through which to earn a living

and not a way of understanding the totality of

existence. Byung-Chul Han considers that even critical thinkers with capitalism, such as Marx himself, for whom a man is a work animal who finds his fulfillment at work, have censored the possibility of any kind of contemplative life, that is, of delay, of duration.

The ideal of Marxism is, in this way, a society constituted by the working class, and nothing more than the working class, active, productive; The impossibility of contemplative life is evident here.

This idealization or preeminence of active life is also found in the work of Arendt, for whom the demo is nothing more than a harmful and harmful paralysis for the essence of man,

which is always and fundamentally production.

They have considered that, in short,

this perspective that includes

the essence of man as a need for productive activity is little more than the romantic ideal

of creating the surprising, the heroism of the new time, They have considered that, in short,

06

SOCIETY

this perspective that includes

the essence of man as a need for productive activity is little more than the romantic ideal

of creating the surprising, the heroism of the new time,

of the irruption of the innovative and unpredictable.

This hyperactive agitation,

this restless concern in active life makes impossible the contemplative life that lives in time, which provides a duration,

which is not intended to be productive or economically useful.

Thought in the world of industry and production can only be calculation, linearity, interest, something completely opposed to contemplative praxis, which Han understands as letting things happen

without imposing a predetermined form and rhythm, living like this a human time, and not a commercial, hyperactive and schizophrenic existence.

The deep and true cause of the frantic pace of today is the loss of meaning, of unity,

caused by the primacy of a blind, instrumental, purely productive and capitalist activity that has become detached from all theoretical reflection and contemplation, which only seeks economic

revenues. In this way, if there is no change in perspective that dissolves the opposition between “contemplative life” and “active life”, if there is no change in the system, men will continue to live

disoriented, lying down in a world

that’s ahead of us in each moment, which is increasingly incomprehensible and unattainable.

It is necessary, therefore, to stop, to give time to thought, to let the world present itself as it is, to delay in the aromas of life, to give duration to events.

Generalizing the 21st-century human, we can determine that it is a busy being, with large hours. We tend to assume that the more we work continued before we will finish, but without doses of stress and apparently no time. Daily routines are increasingly chaotic, creating trauma these lapses, the energy fades and makes us less productive. The fragmentation of obstacles and in people who apply it. These people need treatment, and this treatment is called waste time time makes us more effective. Scoring goals and micro challenges help us reach a much more or rather being aware of time.

This article is about material waste. For the medical condition, see Wasting. For other uses, see Waste (disambiguation).

Waste (or wastes) are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use. A by-product by contrast is a joint product of relatively minor economic value. A waste product

may become a by-product, joint product or resource through an invention that raises a waste product’s value above zero.

Examples include municipal solid waste (household trash/refuse), hazardous waste, wastewater (such as sewage, which contains bodily wastes (feces and urine) and surface runoff), radioactive waste, and others.

According to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal of 1989, Art. 2(1), “’Wastes’ are substance or objects, which are disposed of or are intended to be disposed of or are required to be disposed of by the provisions of national law”.[1]

The UNSD Glossary of Environment Statistics[2] describes waste as “materials that are not prime products (that is, products produced for the market) for which the generator has no further use in terms of his/her own purposes of production, transformation or 10

consumption, and of which he/she wants to dispose. Wastes may be generated during the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials into intermediate and final products, the

ref. 10

consumption of final products, and other human activities. Residuals recycled or reused at the place of generation are excluded.”

Under the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC, Art. 3(1), the European Union defines waste as “an object the holder discards, intends to discard or is required to discard.”[3] For a more structural description of the Waste Directive, see the European Commission’s summary.

Main article: List of waste types There are many waste types defined by modern systems of waste management, including: - Municipal waste includes household waste, commercial waste, and demolition waste - Hazardous waste includes industrial waste - Biomedical waste includes clinical waste - Special hazardous waste includes radioactive waste, explosive waste, and electronic waste (e-waste)

There are many issues that surround reporting waste. It is most commonly measured by size or weight, and there is a stark difference between the two. For example, organic waste is much heavier when it is wet, and plastic or glass bottles can have different weights but be the same size.[4] On a global scale it is difficult to report waste because countries have different definitions of waste and what falls into waste categories, as well as different ways of reporting. Based on incomplete reports from its parties, the Basel Convention estimated 338 million tonnes of waste was generated in 2001.[5] For the same year, OECD estimated 4 billion tonnes from its member countries.[6] Despite these inconsistencies, waste reporting is still useful on a small and large scale to determine key causes and locations, and to find ways of preventing, minimizing, recovering, treating, and disposing waste.

Inappropriately managed waste can attract rodents and insects, which can harbour gastrointestinal parasites, yellow fever, worms, the plague and other conditions for humans, and exposure to hazardous wastes, particularly when they are burned, can cause various other diseases including cancers. Toxic waste materials can contaminate surface water, groundwater, soil, and air which causes more problems for humans, other species, and ecosystems.[7] Waste treatment and disposal produces significant green house gas (GHG) emissions, notably methane, which are contributing significantly to global warming.[5]

Waste management is a significant environmental justice issue. Many of the environmental burdens cited above are more often borne by marginalized groups, such as racial minorities, women, and residents of developing nations. NIMBY (not in my back yard) is the opposition of residents to a proposal for a new development because it is close to them.

[8] However, the need for expansion and siting of waste treatment and disposal facilities is increasing worldwide. There is now a growing market in the transboundary movement of waste, and although most waste that flows between countries goes between developed nations, a significant amount of waste is moved from developed to developing nations.[9] 11

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, to the future.

[1][2][3] Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of chanWge of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.

[4][5][6][7] Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.[8] Time has long been an important subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars.[2][6][7][9][10][11] Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems.[12][13][14] Time in physics is unambiguously operationally defined as “what a clock reads”.[6] [15][16] See Units of Time. Time is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in both the International System of Units and International System of Quantities. Time is used to define other quantities – such as velocity – so defining time in terms of such quantities would result in circularity of definition.[17] An operational definition of time, standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, is highly useful in the conduct of both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. The operational definition leaves aside the

question whether there is something called time, apart from the counting activity just mentioned, that flows and that can be measured. Investigations of a single continuum called spacetime bring questions about space into questions about time, questions that have their roots in the works of early students of natural philosophy.

Temporal measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy. Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart. Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined by measuring the electronic transition frequency of caesium atoms (see below). Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value (“time is money”) as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans.

Generally speaking, methods of temporal measurement, or chronometry, take two distinct forms: the calendar, a mathematical tool for organising intervals of time,[18] and the clock, a physical mechanism that counts the passage of time. In day-to-day life, the clock is consulted for periods less than a day whereas the calendar is consulted for periods longer than a day. Increasingly, personal electronic devices display both calendars and clocks simultaneously. The number (as on a clock dial or calendar) that marks the occurrence of a specified event as to hour or date is obtained by counting from a fiducial epoch – a central reference point.

Relativity However, we take these times in the same way, in minutes and hours, but we have perceived each activity differently. Four hours working are not the same as four hours doing sports in the mountains or four hours of shopping in the center of Barcelona. But we can still spin finer and the first hour of work we do not perceive the same as the last or the same dinner with the same friends on a Monday or Saturday will be different. Should we measure time in minutes and hours if each action has a different impact on the perception of it?

The past has a number, it will be fifteen years or half an hour. The future will be the next four years or the next decade.

But what about the present? It is the only time without duration, the present as such is an instant. The next instant is already part of what the future was Asses and the original instant has become the past. Can we then act on the present or We have internalized time as is it physically impossible? We act in the a number. We count what it present, but conditioned by the past and takes to get from one point to expecting a result in the future. So any another, we count the time we action in the present is dependent on a sleep, we count the time we context of future and past. spend on a job. There are even studies that count the time it took to fall in love! Numbers mark our lives, measure everything possible. Our age, our time, our children, our titles, countries, languages, our identification number, our license plates, ... They mark our rhythm, our day, our memories, our mental health. We live in a structured and perfectly defined world, these numbers, these rules govern our lives, our world, and society.

From Philosophy, time can also be defined in various ways. This is a concept that has been treated since the ancient Greeks and what remains today.

From an Aristotelian conception, this notion is related to movement, as in physics. That is why time is defined as that measure of movement in relation to the above and what happened. Other philosophers like St. Augustine relate time to the soul.

This relationship is due to the fact that the past is something that no longer exists, the future something that is sold and the present slips away, transforming itself into a memory, that is to say in the past. From the Kantian theory, time is understood as a way of intuiting what happened, a virtue that belongs exclusively to man. Within this conception, time is not related to movement or to the external to people, if not as something internal and personal, which allows organizing intimate experiences.

Currently, there are various positions in philosophy when defining time, and for this, they are various variations, such as existentialism, historicism, etc. other internal Other studies specific to time as the human essence.

Hourglasses

HOURGLASS

Time is immaterial and intangible, yet in our eagerness to rationalize everything we want it to fit into a simple system. On the other hand, our perception of him moves far away from rationality and precision. This series of hourglasses seeks to make the user reflect on his time, his perception and relativity and therefore make him aware of what and how he invests it.

Playing with the morphology of these watches generates a wide collection that shows different perceptions of the passage of time and alters thinking.

As we have seen, hourglasses have been a way of measuring time for years and are increasingly obsolete due to the digital trend in society. It is a material way of measuring time and visually ignores numbers, so the perception of matter takes on great relevance in these clocks. We are used to a clock with two equal parts, more or less conical, cylindrical or square form, but always with two equal parts where the sand goes from one-winged to the other when reversing its position. ref. 32

Time plays based on its context and the clock shows it clearly. Do you feel like going to the beach for 8 hours on a summer Sunday? And if we are going to work for the same 8 hours? Surely your answer would not be the same but calm, it is normal. The perception of the quantity always varies if the container changes. The so common joke of the half-full or half-empty glass is nothing more than simplification to the absurdity of a vast concept. The truth is that there are no certainties, no absolutes. And in time it is very evident. A blinking second is eternal, a 60th of a minute begins to stop having value, in a day it may seem little, but in a week it is even less, and in a month it is practically not counted.

The destiny of humanity is to live in the cities.

These urban centres welcome more and more people and each one has a different form and history, they adapt to the environment and the needs of the inhabitants over time, but there are more and more urban cities, large agglomerations scarcely structured, where they appear critical social and environmental problems. These unstructured cities tend to disregard various factors that condition usability, from generating dormitory centres where leisure, catering, jobs, etc. are scarce, to work areas and shops, where services abound but housing is scarce for the citizens. Unlinking the traditional system of working, living and sleeping in the same area, surrounded by the same people and generating a community.

NEW BARRIO

The human avalanche towards cities seems unstoppable, 60% of the world’s population will live in cities in 2030, as can be seen from the data produced by the report on the state of the cities of the world 2008/2009 by ONU-HABITAT. This increase in the urban population (60% of the world’s population will live in cities in just two decades) can become a real problem unless harmony is achieved between the spatial, social and environmental aspects of the urban environment, as well as among its inhabitants. This harmony must rest on two key pillars: equality and sustainability.

59

The city as a system

NEW BARRIO

A system is the set of several differentiated elements working in unison, generating a complex mechanism.

Many of these elements

are dependent on each

other.

Cities are

systems in which each individual is an element that flows and interacts with different parts of the mechanism.

The health of a city can be measured by

observing the quality of these interactions.

Solutions are currently projected for

existing problems, such as waste management, electric mobility, complete housing micro spaces, etc.

This, just try to solve a past problem, we must anticipate the problem, disassemble the system and redo it efficiently.

Currently, we have a puzzle

that was built only and in parts.

Now, the time

has come to unite them; we are missing and at the same time we have pieces left over, we are trying to cut these pieces to fit our puzzle,

but we must disassemble it and start it again, being aware that everything will end up

being all together.

The values ​​ on which these new cities should be articulated may at first be too disruptive with the current social system.

For example,

cities are increasingly committed to public interurban transport service, generating large infrastructure to manage the twoway flow of people who live in city A

and sleep in B and those who sleep in A

and live in B.

If these cities were healthily organized, all these transport users would surely use it for leisure, since the functional interurban transport would disappear.

Thus saving not only material resources of production of these transports but also time.

Cities have outsourced

in an unsustainable way all those annoying and dysfunctional processes; Garbage, sewage, energy plants ...

This causes peripheries of social and environmental problems, isolated nuclei of life.

A key

to the cities of the present

is the resolution of their needs without the export of problems to third parties, thus obtaining an autonomous city.

For a city

to be considered sustainable, it must internalize all urban processes.

From obtaining energy and raw materials to the processing of these finalizing by the management of waste and recycling of these.

It is important to emphasize the processes,

they are a part of sustainability that often goes unnoticed, the outsourcing of garment manufacturing in Asian countries is socially unsustainable.

Cities have historically outsourced their

problems as they appeared, trying to adapt to new needs.

NEW BARRIO

Sustainability will reach its highest awareness when each individual in society recognizes and internalizes the consequences of each act.

Sustainability, well understood

begins with oneself.

In sustainable cities, unsustainable homes or behaviours that encourage waste do not make sense.

There can be no urban sustainability or domestic sustainability without personal

sustainability.

We inefficiently transform natural resources.

That is why

we produce so much waste

and we need so many resources that are running out.

We want to appropriate all the wealth generated without assuming the environmental

and social costs of production.

The "new neighbourhood" is fully focused on user awareness and education, allocating most of its space to areas of interrelation where activities, workshop, talks and courses can be carried out. It is also considered as a neighbourhood in which to work, live and consume in an exemplary way, having coworking and individual renting spaces, introducing in the general collective the renting of spaces for limited times. Following this concept, many tasks that require space and machinery that most of the time is in disuse have been outsourced from the domestic sphere. For example, laundries, kitchens, study areas and meeting areas of large groups.

The New Neighborhood can be lived in different ways: Sporadically; spending specific days doing activities.Daily; being part of the daily life of the neighbourhood, distributing or offering services externally. Immersive; Renting a private space in which to sleep for a time, to experience the non-specialization of domestic spaces. The purchase in bulk daily as a reducer of storage space, elimination of excess food, promotion of consumption and proximity trade. Making a continuous dialogue between time and space.

This new neighbourhood proposal seeks to be a reference and icon of how to live in a respectful way, both with people and the environment and with resources and the planet.

The passages between buildings at different heights generate semi-covered spaces that propitiate the interaction of the neighbourhood with the users. Providing shade spaces in summer and shelter from rain in winter. These spaces are of different sizes, sometimes serving only as a shed to shelter from one building to another or to organize events and mass meetings.

In the first place, it acts as a visual barrier, modifying the light perception, especially for those inside the waterfall, since the light will not enter directly from outside.In addition, being a live environment that falls from a certain height generates a sound impact in the neighborhood that acts in the same way as the bells of a church, but changing the shocking sound for a pleasant and relaxing sound that will connect you with the environment and nature establishing a moment of pause in your routines.

The perimeter water curtain system is adapted to the different slopes of the neighbourhood. Its small size allows it to be installed on any facade in a non-intrusive way and that it is located in the lower part of the slabs. Also, this system has different add-ons that allow the user to interact with it also at the top. These accessories are part of the urban furniture generating a wide range of multiple actions: benches, tables, pots for vegetation ... all these modules are perfectly combinable with each other and offer variability to the system that adapts to the needs of each site. Also, when dealing with a perimeter element it acts as a barrier to the level change that we find between the different platforms of the neighbourhood, transforming the traditional railing into a multifunctional and aesthetic element.
