London Bridge

Posted on by

History tells us that during the 19th century, the economic development in the East end of London brought the need to build a new bridge in addition to the historic London Bridge. This I knew thanks to the tourist guide that I spoke of the famous Tower Bridge while we traveled the River Thames. That was the first time that I saw a drawbridge so I think that my face of surprise was what motivated my guide to give me as much detail. At first I asked myself what was what motivated the British to build a drawbridge and not a normal bridge? What explained the guide was that if a fixed bridge was built, it was going to cut off access to the port of London. What was wanted was not to cut the development of that side of the city and it seems that they succeeded, because there are numerous hostels in East London, of course, because tourists come to lots. I was one of them, although I preferred for my short stay London youth hostels.

Continuing with the historical details, it is known that in 1876 was a contest to design the bridge that would solve the problems of traffic to the East of the city and is not a problem for the port. In 1884, an architect of surname Jones presented a drawbridge of 244 meters in length with two central towers, spaced 200 feet from one another. At the beginning it seemed impossible because each cam weighs more than thousand tons, but the engineering of the time suggested that the cams are contrapesaran to minimize the effort of lifting, a system with steam engines. Now, is doing the same with oil and electric motors. How will it evolve in the future? We don’t know, but we know that he is a bridge that solves many problems of the moment and made known even the city, because it has appeared in many movies such as the Mummy and Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix. Design practical and attractive at the same time, all a genius Mr. Jones.

Another problematic one that we can observe in the film is the important position of the professor who, in any level, must be continuously if auto-evaluating. The primordial professional attitude to rethink pedagogical practical its perennially. The evolution of science is constant, to each day has new discoveries placing in check old educational paradigms. The educator who decides to stop, from that moment, is outdated and can bring serious consequences for the formation of its pupils and for society. The film portraies the problems faced for all those that start to face an archaic, full system of vices and comodismos, searching new ways to see and to live deeply old situations that if repeat for long periods.

In the attempt to implant and to implement changes, the professional esbarra in the controladorismo and the rooms in such a way of who is responsible for the maintenance of the system as for that they compose this system and they do not give account that has evolution. All those that act in the educational area, would have to attend this excellent film and to make some reflections on the capacity of the educator in obtaining, at the crisis moments, surpassing the adversities appeared in classroom, as well as the imposed ones for the structure of the education center. To observe the devotion gotten passionate of the professor for its work and the initiatives to use the resources and application of useful strategies in the educational, professional and emotional development of its pupils. It is very important for the learning, so that, review its behaviors and its certezas in relation to the content programmarian who is passed by its professors learning to visualize the practical ones that they renew its conceptions and paradigms, becoming them more critical human beings and with capacity of suggestions and changes.
