On its way, engagement seems to move between or transcends classic questions that would help define it, such as questions of passivity and activity, individual and collective, strict duties and flexibility, etc. On the other hand, for engagement as a specific type of activity, dedication and involvement in what we do, there is no other suitable term to explain this phenomenon, so, despite all its complexity, there is a need for its understanding. does not lose its importance.
