So it is with the truism with which webegin: all educational practice implies a theoretical stance on the educator’s part. This stance in turn implies—sometimesmore, sometimes less explicitly—an interpretation of man and the world. It could not be otherwise. The process of men’sorientation in the world involves not just the association of sense and images, as for animals. It involves, above all,thought-language; that is, the possibility of the act of knowing through his praxis, by which man transforms reality. Forman, this process of orientation in the world can be understood neither as a purely subjective event, nor as an objective ormechanistic one, but only as an event in which subjectivity and objectivity are united. Orientation in the world, sounderstood, places the question of the purposes of action at the level of critical perception of reality.If, for animals, orientation in the world means adaptation to the world, for man it means humanizing the world bytransforming it. For animals there is no historical sense, no options or values in their orientation in the world; for manthere is both a historical and a value dimension. Men have the sense of “project,” in contrast to the instinctive routines ofanimals.

(A)Instinctive (B)Responsive to and controlled by visual stimuli (C)Adaptive to the environment (D)Sensitive to historyBirds do it. Cats do it. And Spaniards most especially do it—every day, in broad daylight. They nap. 47 Fromone or two o’clock to 4:30 or so every afternoon, Spain stops the world for a stroll home, a leisurely meal, and a few z’s.Common Market technocrats have informed the Spanish that this is not the way things will get done in a unified Europe.At a time when productivity is the world’s largest religion, the siesta tradition lives on. 48 No task is so criticalthat it cannot wait a couple of hours while you attend to more important matters like eating, relaxing, or catching up onsleep. When the midday break hits, offices empty and streets clear. Befuddled foreigners quickly learn that they haveentered a new circadian order.Taking a long break in the middle of the day is not only healthier than the conventional lunch; it is apparently morenatural. 49 Studies suggest that humans are “biphasic” creatures, requiring days broken up by two periods of sleepinstead of one “monophasic” shift. The drowsiness you feel after lunch comes not from the food but from the time of theday.“All animals, including humans, have a biological rhythm,” explains Claudio Stampi, director of the Chrono BiologyResearch Institute in Newton, Massachusetts. “One is a 24-hour rhythm—we get tired by the end of the day and go tosleep—and there is a second peak of sleepiness and a decrease in alertness in the early afternoon. 50 For others it isless difficult, but it is there. So there is a biological reason for siestas.”

(A)think (B)use (C)make (D)thankA simple change to the design of the gallon milk jug, adopted by the retail giants Wal-Mart and Costco,seems made for the times. The jugs are cheaper to ship and better for the environment, the milk is fresher whenit arrives in stores, and it costs less. However, the jugs have no real spout, and their unorthodox shape makesconsumers feel like novices at the simple task of pouring a glass of milk. “I hate it. It spills everywhere,” said acustomer.Though the greener milk jug isn’t widely welcomed, retailers are undeterred because it has advantagesfrom their perspective. In an era of soaring global demand and higher costs for energy and materials, virtuallyevery aspect of the economy needs to be reexamined and many products must be redesigned for greaterefficiency. The redesign of the gallon milk jug is a typical example of this change. In the past, the bottling andshipping of milk jugs were inefficient and labor-intensive. Workers used a long hook to drag plastic cratesloaded with milk jugs onto a conveyor belt. The crates were essential to prevent old-fashioned milk jugs fromstacking atop one another but took a lot of room. With the new jugs, the crates are gone and the shipping cancut labor by half.The whole operation is so much more efficient that milk coming out of a cow in the morning winds up at astore by that afternoon, compared with the next morning by the old method. The question now is whethercustomers will go along. A shopper named Jodi Kauffman gave the jugs a glance. “Maybe,” she said.
