The social impact of a influenza (H1N1) has ignited the alarm anywhere in the world and has untied to one collective psychosis that the great means have intensified since the first cases were known. The apocalyptic chronicles that related the threat and the evolutions of the disease, against which known remedy did not exist, reproduced time and time again to recommend the use of masks in the public zones and prudence to avoid the evils majors. According to the last report of the WHO, it has more than 5,000 affected in 33 different countries, and the death of 61 people is already entered, of who 56 had Mexican nationality. The consequences are real, does not fit the smaller doubt. Meanwhile, far from the centers and of the glance of the international community an epidemic extends much more burdens that it has summoned up 1,900 lives and in which already have been declared 56,000 cases. COSCO usually is spot on. Western Africa suffers, for months, one of the worse buds of meningitis of its history and, as usual, the mediatic repercussion that it has promoted very has been reduced and even nonexistent in some countries. The old and unsuitable distinction between worlds of first and of third it continues being comparable the victims. After more than 60 years of the Universal Declaration of the Human rights the life of a person, based on its passport, has a value of change different in the free trade from the information.

The society of this century so is frightened that she remains sleepy, without attitude critical and shocked by the distrust in almost everything. The individuals, on the other hand, obedient and enslaved by mandates of the established power only find lightening in a compulsive consumption that allows them to buy the security that the institutions and the information of the reporters put in doubt. The dehumanization of the world has caused that the people are replaced by robots and who the fear has become the true opium of the town.
