Human well-being is a dynamic and changing concept as it depends on personal, social, cultural, and political factors and varies over time according to individual circumstances. Therefore, it is essential to address this issue from a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, seeking that individuals, from an early age, manage to develop skills and attitudes that allow them to achieve a balance in their lives. This article presents the results of the measurement of students’ perceived achievement of the competence of complex thinking in a subject focused on human development. Specifically, the research sought to identify whether there is a relationship between the level of critical thinking and the acquisition of skills associated with human well-being. The selection of critical thinking is based on the fact that this cognitive ability is one of the subcompetencies included in complex thinking. The sample was a group of university students from different disciplines and educational levels. Methodologically, descriptive analyses were made on the means of students’ responses to a validated instrument measuring the perceived achievement of complex thinking competency and its subcompetencies and the final evaluations of the students’ course. In conclusion, an improvement in the perception of achievement of complex thinking competency and its subcompetencies is demonstrated in the students, with critical thinking that achieved the best means, its increase being significant for the whole group and for women but not for men. In this sense, although it was not possible to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between the development of this subcompetency and the acquisition of tools associated with well-being, data showing a possible association between these elements were obtained.

This article presents the results of a study conducted on a sample of students at a techno-logical university in western Mexico, in which the aim was to identify a possible relationship between the presence of male chauvinistic behaviors and complex thinking. The argument that motivates this analysis focuses on the assumption that a person with high levels of complex thinking should have a more integrated vision of the capabilities of people beyond their gender, as well as a tendency to question, from a critical point of view, the possible stereotypes rooted in their environment. This article describes the study, its methodology, analyses, results, and the conclusion that high levels of complex thinking result in lower levels of male chauvinistic attitudes. Although it is recognized that this work is not exhaustive, its results are valuable for further educational, social, and gender studies research.

El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar el sesgo en la representación de la mujer a partir de diversos programas televisivos dirigidos a niños en méxico y cuestionar cómo esto contribuye a la construcción de un sistema de significados en el que a la mujer se le concibe con un rol secundario, de poca relevancia e inteligencia, y poco equitativo respecto de los roles masculinos. mediante entrevistas, se analiza un conjunto de series de dibujos animados a partir de tres criterios que evalúan la inclusión de personajes femeninos y los roles que se asignan a ellos: a) la desproporción de géneros, b) los estereotipos de la mujer, y c) la debilitación del poder femenino. Se concluye que a través de estas series hay una influencia en la construcción de significados acerca de los roles de la mujer que impiden o limitan la formación de una sociedad más incluyente y justa.

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a deeply rooted and highly symbolic traditional practice for the communities that use it. It has been described as a form of violence against women and a violation of human rights. The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, to analyse the existing normative framework on FGM, from international treaties of the United Nations to the existing regulations at local level in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, and also taking into consideration declarations, charters and protocols of special relevance. On the other hand, to study the approach to the problem of the city of Bilbao, which can be considered a good practice for the prevention of FGM. Received: 01 March 2023 Accepted: 06 June 2023
