Life in society
Everybody in the world wants and needs a friendship. To have good friends is very important for everybody?s life. Always when you have any problem the friend is here to help you With your friends you can have fun ? go with them to the cinema, to pub or spend a nice weekend, for example in the mountains or do water sport on some river.
Love is also very important for life. Maybe we can say it?s the sense of a men?s life. When we?re born, there is a maternal love, love of our siblings and of our family. When we get older comes the first love, very often unrequited love or love for the first sight. Love guides us through the life.
Racism is a discrimination of people on the bases of colour of their skin, their race, their origin. This theory was abused many times in the history. Probably the most known is Nazis abused it in the Second World War when they wanted to exterminate all Jews. In today?s society the followers of this opinion are skinheads and neo ? Nazis.
In our life we also meet handicapped people ? physically or mentally. Our attitude to them becomes better. I think that people realized that the only possible way of our behaviour to them is to respect them and if it is possible to help them ? in various ways. You can give money to some fund; you can work in some volunteer organization or just can help them on the pedestrian crossing. It is so easy.
I think that the approach to minorities is also getting better. One example for all of them: gays and lesbians. We?ve become more tolerant, more opened, more free-minded and also more educated. We know it isn?t a mental disease, we know that the man isn?t guilty for anything, he didn?t do something wrong. It?s just different type of sexual orientation. Nothing less, nothing more.
Criminality and vandalism are one of things which get worse in our society. More of burglaries, robberies, car thefts, murders, rapes, and violations. Vandalism we can see on every building, bus or tram stop, on railway stations, simply on the public places. Graffiti, broken glass, shop windows or posters. I don?t know, maybe people became more cynic, more indifferent to things which are happening. The law is quite powerless, these are everyday actions.
Our life style has changed, it?s faster, it?s more nervous, and it?s hasty. We see our destination and we do everything to get there ? no scruples for anybody. Just get more and more money, live in a bigger and bigger luxury. This became the sense of life. It is sad and I really don?t venture to say how it will continue.
The tolerance of religion varies from country to country. The Czech Republic is atheistic country. The western world is catholic, but I think still tolerant. The eastern world is Jewish and Islamic and the situation there is a real problem. Everybody knows what things are some Islamic or Jewish FANATIC people capable of. (The NY Twins, the situation on Near East?we hear it every evening in news). The tolerance is very important in our multi – cultural world if we want to live contented life.
