Against Social Blindness
Ciencia y Tecnología para la Salud Visual y Ocular

Abstract

Blindness, as a social problem, is evident from the lack of interest in other people’s welfare, the inability to social empathy as a condition for collective coexistence and the use of social prejudice that make others invisible in other words, social blindness exists when you lose the ability to recognize others as actors in the social construction of values. This paper depicts social blindness as a disease of perception, not the eyes the causes lie in the ability to perceive the world and all its contents, both material and human, and not in the internal ability of organisms and physiological processes to see the world.
