ah
the first time I came home from
I started working in Guinea Bissau
it was almost Christmas I was super excited
with that with going home and with
do all the things that he had thrown out
unless I go to take some canes go
shopping to see my people until I get a
nap with a nordic duvet cover
up to this point
I was super excited and with all the
I went to my parents’ house here in
segovia and when you open the fridge and see all
those typical products of the time
I started to arrive
it was the first time that I faced
so raw and so hard to my
privileges already like having the fridge
It has little or nothing to do with your
effort or with your willpower and
very much with the place where you have
fallen at birth
well can you tell me clear to see no
it is necessary to go to Africa to give
account for this simply with turning
the TV we realize how is the
world truth the amount of misfortunes
what we see out there every time there is more
hunger war social injustice
gender violence
how many times we feel overwhelmed and
overwhelmed and we need to change channels
pass or throw the newspaper and close
our social networks
I compare it to as if we had
chopped a thousand mosquitoes at a time and only
we had an opportunity to scratch
and with the blockade we do not scratch
nothing at the end and that is not enough
strong that today are happening
simultaneously in two places
different from the world things like this for
one side there is a car that drives alone
only without driver we have
been able to develop the
technology and the application that makes
possible that the car drives alone but
at the same time and on the other hand every minute
a child dies of hunger
it’s not amazing
also the people we trust and who
we want a better world and we believe in
we do not settle for the sense
traditional charity the typical me
I find a poor man at the door of a
supermarket I made a coin and I
I go to my house so quiet because
because this does not change things in
absolute the poor will continue to be
poor and you have not made any effort
because that currency does not mean
absolutely nothing for you
besides, not everyone can
allow to support an NGO financially
dedicate professionally to the
development cooperation or assistance
emergency or be of course
main shareholder of a large
multinational to be able to change the
things and decisions worldwide
Well, even having told this
I am here today to tell you that
you can change the world if all the
people who are here through
your individual power through the
decisions that you make every day and
I’m going to propose a very simple system
of three steps that are me in the world
I in my city and I questioning myself
explain how you can do it I’m not going to
tell you about collective actions like
vote
our power as consumers or form
part of civil society organizations
civil but of very simple things
everyday we can do all the
days and that you will be able to adapt according to
your context of influence well
in the center of this three system
Steps
There is a key concept that I am going to
explain
with a card game
the game consists
that a letter of everything will touch me
this pile I have to choose one randomly
okay, let’s see if I’m lucky
I’m going to shuffle
[Music]
oh how nerves really what will happen
that I will touch the lame no longer come
I’m going to cut come the one up here or
the one below
come I will catch this
I do not look at it
you know what has come out
what a relief it has come for me
of upper- middle class in Spain in the
21st century
thank goodness you imagine that I would have
I left a child rojin already in my soul
or a sick older person in a ghetto
in new york
and if I had left a teenager in
South Sudan because it is that you have to see
what is the luck truth then well that
luck that we just saw is in
reality the concept of privilege
a privilege is an advantageous situation
that is given to us in general from the
cradle and we have done nothing at all
to deserve it
the privileges are in general
invisible but they are very present in
our lives because around them
it articulates all the power all the
representation all the citizenship of the
systems that we inhabit
in the center of those privileges we
we found the white man
heterosexual middle class of a country
rich
if we want to refine more specifically this
detail of that center of privileges
we have to ask who in my
context I am not allowed to criticize and
this is going to give us a little better idea
how to fine-tune that center of
privileges
what’s up with this center of the
privileges the further we get away from
he more difficult we will have the enjoyment
of our rights to say it of
another way more doors we will have to
open to be able to enjoy a citizenship
full
let’s see now with some examples
how can we identify those
privileges
that we have around us with
about the people who are at our
around the first of the examples my
neighbor is unemployed we come to an end
of month
nobody hires me because he has a
disability
and you do arrive at the end of the month then
not only is he having a problem
is that you also have a privilege
my sister loves going out on the
night
with what you hear lately gives you
very afraid to go home
every time there are more cases of violations
street harassment you when you leave or you
pose that has never suffered in their
own meats to the best then it is
that you also have a privilege the other
day of carrying an African
on the plane where I was traveling
and they reported him to a country near the
yours not even your own country what was
your crime does not have the situation
administrative in order
it sounds to you you never have
raised this you are nationals of the country
in which you live you have the documents in
rule then is that you also have a
privilege is worth yes clear great I have
thousands of privileges and what do I do now
I feel terrible I have to feel bad for
eat every day
have work ceiling not the opposite
we are going to use that consciousness that
we just bought to try
change the world to change that
imbalance that we find with
our neighbor that will also affect
global scale to how things happen to
level of global imbalances with
this three step system me in the
world
I in my city town or neighborhood and I
questioning me we started with the first
I in the world as I realize the
privileges that I have regarding the
world population I simply have
have to ask the following question who
It would be me if instead of being born
here I would have done a few kilometers to
north to the south east or west in the
neighboring country would have suffered the war
I would have been tortured would have
illegally appropriated my lands and
my houses would violate my rights for me
gender
the second step I in my city in my
context in my neighborhood
let’s see what those privileges are
what we have with respect to our
neighbors with a question again
simple who would I be if instead of
to have been born in this body would have
made in the body of a trans woman
in the case of a child arriving in a boat or
in that of a person with a disability
finally the third of the steps we are going
to use the privileges that
identify with the previous two
to give them up so
proactive and be able to contribute our
granite of sand for a better world
because often people who are
sitting in their privileges armchair
do not realize that most
the things they do do not do them because
they want they do not because they can
so that we can buy a
t-shirt at three euros there is a girl in
bangladesh not go to school and
is exploited laboriously so that
the north has the latest technology the
congo is bleeding or that so that
we can and we can vote to decide
freely about abortion and our
bodies and something as simple as opening
a solo account
there was a feminist who left here the
skin
very well let’s see now some
concrete examples of how to use
these steps of agreement we start with the
beginning
women suffer double and triple
work days according to nations
united by the same work a woman
receive a euro forgiveness a man receives
one euro and 77 cents plus a woman
we take care 2.5 more of the cares
than our male partners and 35%
remember the figure 35 percent of the
women from all over the world including
Northern countries suffer or have suffered
will suffer physical or sexual violence
part of their peers the people who
supposedly more should want the
what can we do now at the level
individual
to balance this data well what is
your privilege is the eldest son of a
Spanish traditional woman and you go to dinner
to your parents’ house on Christmas Eve
mother is in charge of the dinner let’s finish
what can you do now that you realize
because in addition you neither think about it nor know
how many people go to dinner or prepare it
nor of course you pick it up is that neither
you raise it that you’re super super
consciousness with the equality that you give a
I like it on facebook altitude every
time a Hollywood actress comes out
Well now that you realize to see if
this year you take the phone to your phone
mother with time and you tell her mom you have to
do something
or else you propose a dish I’ll take
this year such
or better yet you tell mom this year what
we do in my house I take care of everything and
you come to a table and so the place of
get to table put and half toasted
after the reeds of the 24th
you really do something for the
equality and not that awareness in
social networks to share so many photos
the second case
you live in a rich country you do well in the
faucet miracle comes out water you click and it
turn on the light bulb you have never suffered
the effects of climate change the sea
where you fish you’re not full of
plastics you did not have to migrate through
a topic related to climate has not
suffered floods
and what can I do now from segovia
what can i do reduce reuses recycles
reduce your consumption try to buy less
things if you still have to buy them
try to buy things that can be
reuse and let the roll of those
muffin packs talking a little
of breakfast that come in a bag of
plastic inside the plastic we have
each cupcake inside another plastic and
I take out the cupcake and I have another plastic
with a slip of paper to eat my
cupcake but also I’m going to make a
I take the capsule, I put the
capsule in the coffee and each capsule and each
capsule and every week and every month and every
North person polluting and
polluting and coming to pollute
finally recycle
I love two hoaxes there are about
recycle the first the perfect excuse
I do not have a place in the kitchen
let’s see if you’ve bought a
coffee maker that even sucks the floor
how are you going to have no place in the kitchen
for the recycling bin but the best
of all that it seems that all the
people who do not recycle have seen it
is that once my fifth neighbor saw
that empty all the containers of
recycling in the same truck
come do not be gossip and let’s try
do things responsibly for
latest
one of the great
ways to discriminate against people is the
language the language is representative
of what we are as a society
and many times the acts of the
societies are also reflected in the
language
46% of the news includes
racist or sexist stereotypes and by
another side so we can see how it
corresponds to society 49% of
foreigners living in Spain have
said to feel discriminated against ever
in your life
what we do now that we realize
because I am in the center of the
privileges there are no stereotypes about me
nobody laughs at me does not exist about me nor
Teasing or taunting cuts with health
the whatsapp chains with the jokes
homophobic sexist sexist racists
classics say no
I put a cut to the conversations
full of stereotypes and why not in
instead of continuing with those conversations
take advantage of the time you’re going to win
a lot of time and you talk to those
collectives with those people to see from
true how they understand the world that
they think about their experiences and
you change the roll of
is that they take away the work they come here
to rob us are all the same
these diverted
because changing the world is here is now
and it’s already
excuses are not worth
is that
and power and duty to do the good of this
method at least in my experience is
that leaves a good taste without
try a snack
relieves insomnia and stress without having
to take sleeping pills look closely without
microscope and far away without telescope
finally imagine that the last day
of your life on earth
you will find the person you are with
person that you would have liked to be my
greater desire is that they look very much
or that they are the same person very lucky
with that
