Summary/Abstract: I sought to sketch a certain perspective of the discourse and, thus of the mentalities that troubled and have been troubling our society for the past half-century; our society is divided into two periods, one, a communist period, focused on a "utopian and bright" future, supported by an intense social control, and the other where we are today, where rumours and uncertainty are the order of the day. We hope that all these quests of our society, which has been in an endemic transition for several hundredyears, will eventually lead to that much-desired stability and credibility, present in any normal society.
