The main objective of this paper is to employ the sociological notions of Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu to transcribe the production and reproduction of Modern Capitalist Laxv in terms of exercise of power and domination. The path to do this is to show how domination and symbolic violence are exercised through moral, scientific knowledge and construction of identity, displaying the arbitrariness and exclusion of alternative practices and subjects which underlies its pretended universality and impartiality.

The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the organizational resilience concept and its implementation. Just to iniciate this study is relevant to say that the word resilience has been used in a variety of academic disciplines, from Ecology to Psychology.

To admit that Mathematics is totally needed in some knowledge areas it is not always accompanied with positive attitude toward Mats. Teachers ascertain every course that many students do not have a good attitude toward Mats, even though they accept the Mats main roll in science growth and its contribution to solve social problems. From students' comments, the teachers perceive that the main reasons of this issue are linked to the students' previous experiences. Researches conducted indicate that there are emotional-psychological walls between students and Mats (Auzmendi, 1992). Another author (Gomez-Chacon, 2000) assures that many students show afraid and aversion which are elements hinder learning and the build of solid basis. This work is a first move to understand this trouble and we may see it when students start any Mats course. We analyze attitudes and perceptions toward Mats from students in the course of algebra in Common Subjects Division of Social Sciences in the Xochimilco unit of the Autonoma Metropolitana University, given the fact their experiences are elements influencing the Mats learning. A question papers was applied to students of Administration in quarter 04-I; questions were oriented to their media-high education experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
