ARIAS CARDONA, Ana María  y  MAZO PENA, Jeisy Andrea. Citizen sensitivity: senses and practices among young university students. Psicogente [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.37, pp.136-146. ISSN 0124-0137.  https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.20.37.2423.

This article highlights the questioning for citizen sensitivity. Aiming to understand the citizen sensitivity in university students, a mixed research model was conducted with the Case Study Method and three techniques of data construction: questionnaire, focus group and photo lan guage. Different results were found in which the voice of the young prevails in relation to three categories: the balance between rights and responsibilities, the respect for the difference and inclusive relationships. Referring to the first category, the participants, despite of expressing their conscious reflections about the importance of norms-answer given by 58,46 % of them- tend to prioritize their own rights and distort their responsibilities. As for the second and third category (respect for the difference and inclusive relationships), it is worth noting the positive meaning that the participants assign to it and the intention to cherish It. Such aspects were recognized by 45,69 % and 53,85 % of young people respectively. This matter does not necessarily matches with their day-to-day practices, where discrimination and exclusion practices have been rather interiorized.
