El hombre es ya adulto de la razón, y hasta se le puede considerar adulto de conciencia.... Bien se ve a cada momento, en todas partes, contrariada esta afirmación por hechos tales, que denuncian una prepotencia incontrastable de instintos y pasiones sobre principios y deberes. Individualidades representativas de su tiempo, colectividades representativas de la civilización histórica y actual incurren, a cada paso, en irracionalidades tan contrarias a seres en progreso, y en inconciencias tan contradictorias del grado efectivo de desarrollo a que ha llegado la humanidad, que motivan la honda tristeza de cuantos tienen idea suficiente del destino del hombre en el planeta.

Dear Mr. Know-it-all

I have two kids, ages 4 and 6. When I showed them Star Wars, they said it was boring and refused to watch. How do I get them into the saga?

(By Brendan I. Koerner)

If your progeny were meh on any other sci-fi classic, my advice would boil down to "get over it." But the first Star Wars is a special case - it's the most scared cultural touchstone for anyone born between the Ford and Reagan administrations. If your children don't know Star Wars, can they ever truly know you? This is why it's important to keep trying to get them to see the power of the Force. It won't be easy. By today's narrative standards, Star Wars: A New Hope suffers from glacial pacing. Contemporary kiddie entertainment has primed your progeny to expect nonstop action instead of talky scenes about droid sales and Imperial politics. To keep things lively, you need to make the Star Wars experience more active. "Get the kids off the couch while watching the movie," advises Kevin Decker, coeditor of the book Star Wars and Philosophy. Equip them with ersatz lightsabers and have them whack at a makeshift training remote; wrap brown towels around their bodies and encourage them to be Jawas; turn a cardboard box and some packing peanuts into the Death Star's garbage compactor.
