Regardless of the name, I have seen the phenomenon of
plagiarism when we translate to another language. It could be the power of the language: Germans have six different words for stairs
(escalera in Spanish). On the other
hand, Mendel experimented with peas to see the genetic distribution called the
Mendelian characteristics when speaking about genetics; it took more than
thirty years to rediscover what Mendel worked on because he spoke a different
language in an isolated environment.
Jean Baudrillard spoke about “seduction” and I won the New York State
University, Syracuse, “Bruce Dearing” writing award using Baudrillard’s
seduction to explain what happened to me practicing Medicine in the USA. Baudrillard’s seduction in French is the “Soft Power” of Joseph Nye for Americans.
Seduction or Soft Power is needed badly to create triathletes.
The profound significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the
turn of the 20th century (more than three decades later) with the independent
rediscovery of these laws.[3] Erich von Tschermak, Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and William Jasper Spillmanindependently verified several of Mendel's
experimental findings, ushering in the modern age of genetics.
Soft power is a concept developed by Joseph Nye of Harvard University to describe the ability to attract and co-opt rather than coerce, use
force or give money as a means ofpersuasion. Soft power is the ability to shape the
preferences of others through appeal and attraction. A defining feature of soft
power is that it is noncoercive; the currency of soft power is culture,
political values, and foreign policies…He further developed the concept in his
2004 book, Soft Power.
We previously posted an article dealing with this
matter as well as Baudrillard’s video. The
problem of how to apply Soft Power still a problem for us.

Seduction plays a big role in our
decisions. The athletes mentioned were seduced by something
different than triathlon, in place of the previous seduction by former coaches
and environment. When we keep the activity at the level of seduction instead of something
that belongs to us, it is very easy to be seduced by something else. Seduction as
Baudrillard says:
Accordingly, Baudrillard argued that the
excess of signs and of meaning in late 20th century "global" society
had caused (quite paradoxically) an effacement of reality. In this world
neither liberal nor Marxist utopias are any longer believed in. We live, he
argued, not in a "global village," to useMarshall
McLuhan's phrase, but rather in a world that is ever more easily petrified by
even the smallest event. Because the "global" world operates at the
level of the exchange of signs and commodities, it becomes ever more blind to symbolic acts
such as, for example, terrorism.
"Is it to seduce, or to be seduced, that
is seductive? But to be seduced is the best way to seduce. It is an endless
refrain. There is no active or passive mode in seduction, no subject or object,
no interior or exterior: seduction plays on both sides."
-- Jean Baudrillard, Seduction
Psychology
of the outsiders starts with the ABC (Physical Education 101) of physical
activity and the search of enjoyment of this activity. Without this
requirement mentioned above, visualizing victory or something pleasant after
more than 30-40 hours a week of training is impossible. There are
cultures and/or families that can teach the ABC of physical activity, now in
extinction, which I do not call outsiders and are the “natural
champions.” The Brownlees belong to this kind of culture. They
wereseduced by parents, teachers and environment to enjoy
life the way they do. Years later, that way of living became part of them as
well as victory. We have to promote and be part of this environment if
we want to raise champions.
Psychology is not a talking process; it is a doing processin the form
of education. There are athletes that pass the P.E. 101 but have
problems with advanced courses like Helen Jenkins: “I couldn't train
for the first two weeks, pretty much just swimming with a pull buoy, I couldn't
run or ride. I went to see a few doctors and had scans, although the scans
showed nothing that would be causing my pain. Which was good in a way as there
was nothing hugely wrong like a torn tendon or fracture but very frustrating as
I had a massive amount of pain.” Please see, 3

and the Denial of Saint Peter “Patients are often not reassured by
investigations; in a study of patients suffering from NCCP (Non-cardiac-pain),
44% believed they had heart disease in spite of a normal angiogram.[9] There is
some evidence that the process of investigation itself may entrench the
mistaken idea of cardiac disease.” WWW.MEDSCAPE.ORG Management of
Noncardiac Chest Pain in Women.
