Abstract

The human being, in his complex existential reality, simultaneously presents himself as a being who seeks to exercise his freedom to -with legitimate reason- unfold his attributes that give him his own personal identity, but at the same time, in the maelstrom of relationships that oppress within the daily life of our «global village, he sees those spaces that allow him to develop and enrich himself as an individual through an introspective withdrawal facilitated, without a doubt, by that exclusive space of his "personal castle" -once broader - and which is now invaded by a multiplicity of interferences arising from technological "progress". We know, measure and verify the existence of that individual interiority when he sees his rights violated within the society that he integrates because it is there, in his links with others, when the intimacy of the person acquires relevance.
