The specific identity of educational practice to be implemented by all those who have a civilizing project, to address the historical challenges released today, is on the tripod formed by appropriating theoretical knowledge, by acquiring technical ability and sensibility to the political character of social relations. But these three dimensions can only be consolidated if welded and articulated to the ethical dimension. The personal involvement and ethical sensibility of educators is fundamentally linked to a commitment to the destiny of men. It is humanity that each one is accountable for. Therefore, the biggest commitment is to have an ethical commitment to technical responsibilities and to political engagement. This means all men must link their ethical responsibility to the liability benchmark construction of a more just, more equitable, that is, a democratic society, composed of citizens participating in conditions which ensure all natural assets, social goods and symbolic goods are available for the specific society in which they live and that everyone is entitled to as a result of human dignity of each individual.
