(2007: 45 Gallegos) Here which are taken into account those deemed relevant by each institution for values education work, since although there are universal values, they are subject to the discretion of the authority which makes the decision on what is considered relevant to work in that historical moment and social context. As does mention previously modernity is necessary for the development of a people, of humanity, but this modernity has led us to a world full of banalities, mechanistic, that the pleasure of living this mundane life that we carry. Thereon questionable is up where this way of living so frivolous delivers happiness to human beings, since to be included and accepted in society should be covered a person’s image, which is stereotype of a modern world, this becomes evident in adolescents and young people who are required to wear designer clothes and look a statuesque figure. This confirms in part the superficiality which are being educated young generations, cannot be generalized, but is a constant that is evident in schools today. Polo Santillan (1996) mentions that has become a consumer society, since people come in a pattern of consumers according to their social position, which is favored by the media of communication. Santillan said that is is going through a crisis of the modern paradigm and some elements that give proof of this are: to) the fragmentation of human consciousness that fails to integrate with itself and with the totality of being. (b) the myth of identity that identifies the self with the body or the mind, thereby creating fragments that can not be integrated. ((c) the modern human being has lost depth and interiority, and intoxicates with exteriority d) human actions are seen as a simple means to achieve mental purposes e) double morality: social morality is apparent, because it justifies what is not moral and does not call things by their name, but that gives you another name to conceal the facts.
