Introduction
" Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace" This ideal can be applied to both private and public life, another famous phrase; “I have always tried to do everything in my power to defend and sustain our institutions. I have demonstrated in my public life that I serve my country loyally and that I love freedom. It has been my only purpose to propose to you what I believe best for your most expensive interests, which are to secure peace in the future and consolidate our institutions ”2; As we can well observe both phrases make mention of common well-being, regardless of whether we are individuals that our environment turns to home and family, or whether we are people who are always under the gaze of everyone, who observe each of our movements, what is important of this is thatAs individuals, whether in the public or private sphere, we preserve our principles, as a fundamental part of our relationship with people and institutions.
Ideal
Ideal refers to everything proper or related to the idea; the idea, therefore, will be any mental representation that is related to something real, this term can refer: to a philosophical ideal as a very desirable principle or achievable value; therefore it is one of the mental representations of reality that is the basis of Idealism. While Leibniz was the one who used the term idealist when referring to Plato and other authors for whom reality is the form or the idea. It maintains that the reality that is outside the own mind, is not understandable in itself, since the object of the knowledge of the man is always constructed from the cognitive action. It is possible to distinguish, according to idealism,between the phenomenon (the object that can be known according to the perception of the senses) and the noumenon (that is, the objects themselves, with their own natural characteristics). Reality is shaped by the content of man's consciousness. In other words, idealism refers to what we perceive and not for what really is or is happening at a certain moment, in such a way that idealism is related to principles such as; the morals, ethics, kindness and solidarity with which each human being identifies.in such a way that idealism is related to principles like; the morals, ethics, kindness and solidarity with which each human being identifies.in such a way that idealism is related to principles like; the morals, ethics, kindness and solidarity with which each human being identifies.
Private life
For Hanna Arendt, private life was to constitute the space where human beings lived together driven by their wants and needs. It was the sphere of life itself: to provide food, to give birth, to produce and reproduce human life. The house, therefore, was born out of necessity. It was characterized by the type of activity that Arendt calls labor and work, which are the types of activities through which human beings produce the goods that ensure their own survival. According to the above, I can say that private life; it turns to a familiar environment and is properly intimate, personal.
Public life
To define what public space is, Hanna Arendt begins by describing what the word “public” means, that is, two phenomena closely related, but not identical: “First, it means that everything that appears in public can See and hear it all over the world, and it has the widest possible publicity. The world of the polis was the sphere of freedom, for the Greeks freedom only took place in the political sphere, because this was about action and speech, being a politician, living from the polis meant that everything was decided through of words and persuasion. In other words, the public environment was and continues to be a space of appearance in which things said and done can be seen and heard by others,likewise there exist and existed people who in their passage through life have left their mark with their legacy for future generations.
Development of the topic
I will approach the subject of Private Life and Public Life from an Idealistic approach, in fact, as already mentioned, idealism refers to the opinion that we form about a person, judging by his acts or achievements, many of these determined under the principles that govern them.
A clear example of this is a character who distinguished himself by his principles and values, such as; equality, freedom, legality and democracy, whose contributions allowed them to transcend and which until today has been recognized as; “Benemérito de las Américas”, (Benito Pablo Juárez García). Without a doubt, this character always sought family unity, as he grew up sheltered by a humble family, with unwavering principles and values, so much so that I never forget his origins.
In the same way, he distinguished himself for being a person who worthily provided his services to our country, serving as President of the Mexican Republic, in his tireless fight for the freedoms of the people and homeland, as well as for his relentless defense of freedom. In this sense, as a society, we should retake its principles and apply them in order to rescue, solid foundations for future generations. Men are nothing, principles are everything.
conclusion
In my very particular point of view, I infer that it is of utmost importance to consider idealism, as part of our life, to privately strengthen the principles and values instilled by our ancestors, considering that these bases have a significant impact on public life, emphasizing that the public exists thanks to the private.
As I have mentioned idealism, it is a way of identifying certain people, who stood out for contributing something for the benefit of the society that makes up our country; Now, returning to the central theme of this essay, I consider it extremely important to emphasize that we should not lose sight of our values and principles, but rather reinforce them day by day, following the example of certain characters with whom we somehow feel identified, such that it is our ideal to follow.
To conclude, I emphasize that Benito Pablo Juárez García was a person with unbreakable principles; that he always fought for the freedom of the people, equality, legality and democracy, no matter how rough the path was, in order to fulfill his objective, he fought and overcame so many obstacles that were presented to him and most importantly, never surrendered; taking into account that he comes from an indigenous family and that in his childhood I only speak the Zapotec language, he fulfilled his expectations both personally and professionally; for all these memorable feats, he is a character who has transcended and left his mark on the history of Mexicans.
