Profession as service. About how much we owe to each other.
José María Torralba
The profession as a social service: all jobs serve as financial aid to others and dignify the people who perform them. The pandemic brings with it, therefore, a change of paradigm and of an elitist and utilitarian vision of the professions, we now value all workers and we do it from a more solidary perspective than ever, recognizing their contribution.
The worldwide discussion generated by the philosopher Michael Sandel about the shortcomings of meritocracy, presents positively "all that we owe to each other", an attitude where gratitude, humility and work as a team become pieces core topic for the good development of a profession. The power of professionals to transform a society has become evident in this crisis and hopefully this supportive vision of work presented by the pandemic will remain forever.
