Abstract

This article shows a re?ection of the situation of youth protests of different kinds in different countries for greater levels of social justice. The Benedict’s XVI thesis, about the “intelligent gratuity”, next to solidarity and subsidiarity principles, remember us the basic aspects in the social doctrine of the church which come preceded of the gratuity experience or to have received certain talent of someone, to have thankful memory. Like in all the human acts, there are not anything innate, all has its process and in this lapse of time we need as a categorical commanding the education of the proactive empathy for the human which motivates the social justice, developing a greatest brotherhood of the population and the improvement of the democracy.
