The nowaday's Jack Sparrow While I’m having my breakfast, I’m reading in a newspaper an article about the nowaday’s piracy in the Indian Ocean. This article tells how brief is the training of the security guards that certain security companies provide. As it seems, in the case of Spain, is enough a crash course for about 10-12 hours, and in some cases is not even necessary to pass a psycho-technical exam. Keeping in mind that these people are going to spend about eight months embarked in a ship, what can easily become a highly stressing environment, with assault guns within reach, perhaps that’s not the best way to train them. Another fact that catches my mind is how different is the real piracy from that of the movies, or vice versa. How do we sweet the characters like the famous Jack Sparrow, and how the vast majority of our children have dreamt to be a pirate, whilst us the parents laugh and play with them. Can you imagine your child telling you – Hey daddy! Get me an assault riffle, I want to be a narco! Or a a terrorist!..... – Ouh sweety, those are bad things! Don’t you prefer to be a pirate?
