I am not clear how collective consciousness is understood; in this pillar I understand it as a time when most people in society have a shared understanding of a reality. For example, we all understand the importance of having a home in order to have a dignified life, we all understand the importance of a good diet to grow healthy…
Well, I think that a certain collective awareness is also spreading in relation to business models in the digital arena and their possible negative impact on our lives. Most people understand that they are continuously monitored for their online activity. They understand that as a result of the searches carried out they will receive advertising and automated recommendations, they understand that by accepting cookies, their data will often be shared with the many “partners” of this website. However, it is not very clear how to act. Creative content is meant to earn a living and to do so they have different business models, including digital surveillance.
Some social networks are at the tip of the iceberg system for digital surveillance, and data goes to them, like rivers go to the sea. Based on a study conducted by Consumer Reports on the web The Markup (Who shares your information with Facebook, Who shares your information with Facebook), they shared data of interest, including 709 volunteers who, according to data obtained in the last three years of their Facebook file (available in this link), sent data to Facebook from an average of 2,230 companies.
Research may be very simple, but it's interesting to understand the dynamics of social media business models and the sense of our collective consciousness. Now, with that awareness, to gradually improve, we'll have to also think about the digital tools we use.

On November 25, International Day against Male Violence, the Steilas Feminist Union Feminist Secretariat has published a poster: Our body is a battlefield, and all the schools in Hego Euskal Herria have received it. We wish to denounce the violence suffered by women and children... [+]
We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by
social networks and political agendas. Racism and anti-feminism have become two great discursive axes that adapt to... [+]
Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.
We do not have a valid substitute ruler as long as this... [+]
November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
In Sociology of Education there is a classical question: Why does the education system exist in a society? The answers to the question are numerous and change according to the time. But among them, it should be noted that the main objective of the school is the creation of... [+]
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]
For a whole week we have talked about the book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Collodi, in the classroom of the university, with teachers of Early Childhood and Primary Education. Our main reference has been the nice edition that Galtzagorri published in 2011, which included the... [+]
“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]
