【 摘 要 】

Medically speaking we define a crisis as a sudden intensification of the symptoms of a disease(1). According to the Royal Spanish Academy, a crisis is defined as a profound change withimportant consequences in a process or situation or in the way in which these are appreciated (2).Historically, crisis are opportunities to question the status quo of entire societies; they are momentsfor reinventing ourselves and thus evolving toward, for example, a better system, a better organized,more tolerant, inclusive, and caring humanity.
