Now Lets Have A Look At That Vergina

Immigrants? best if they are victims of compassion

Today my friend Laura Valsecchi with clear intellectual honesty has overwhelmed my good feelings of individual politically correct (and ultimately probably hypocritical) telling with grace and grief of the difficulties encountered by the carers who come through the his parents. We think
with discomfort throughout the day. To her I said that they repeated the lies of the Old conventional feminism: women have a kind of moral superiority, all women are good .. Old or operate. But perhaps even of Christian thought: the suffering undergone induces primate of ethical
The reality is that we want all the immigrants who arrived in our country were shins of saints, they prefer to the refugees. Why do so to better defend them, strengthened in our convictions from their status as victims. We feel more determined to defend their rights. Li
we are not as good as we'd like to accept more diversity. And with greater tenacity to ensure that the 'acceptance'.
Because obviously the fear and the resulting primacy of security as the cornerstone of our civilization opulent, our privileges, even guaranteed by law, has also made inroads in me, in you. The objective
want to live a life without risk of contamination tank, it feeds the idea by now deeply rooted in social conscience, that every conflict can be governed by and must be resolved in the criminal field, which serves to fulfill the promise the company policy to immunize from those who are "outside" the system of guarantees and reducing the complexity of social tensions to the binary code good citizen / enemy differently. Born and lived with us from the fortunate of the world, abiding by the rules and their destitute, came to light the wrong hemisphere, potentially transgressive even desperation.

But even before the crisis was clear that if globalization was to a certain extent celebrated the triumph of global market economy, however, had eroded the social structures, degrading community cohesion, identity and solidarity.
And this explains the absence of a culture of acceptance and the prospect of an inevitable "antagonism" with regard to access to services or the salary, the new migrations exert a pressure which is interpreted as a threat, that expressed in terms of rejection and violent expulsion of immigrants who practice denial of their status as civil subjects and today's legal and political discrimination.

The growing expectation of safety channeling fear, artificially fed, in a widespread demand for replicas harshly repressive against evil or potentially evil and an authoritarian exercise of power against the risks of disorder and anarchy. In a context of increasing ethnic diversity, the presence of foreigners is seen as a source of insecurity, a further attack on achievements already undermined by the crisis, which have become a huge cemetery of hopes dashed. Anxiety, fear of losing benefits and privileges of origin, the sense of helplessness are downloaded over the other, the different, marginal, fueling a wave shape as the one that is racist and executioner, not only xenophobic, but also sexist and homophobic.
Everything is terribly complex and disarmingly simple: the demand for recognition of individual difference and collective identities is a demand for freedom is not only relevant to the field of citizenship. It has to do with the state of nature of Hobbes, with the line between friend and foe in an arena ranging from planetary tribalism and universalism, between approval and aspiration to identity increasingly autonomous.

So I think that has diminished the demand for a deep political match, while at the same time has established a drive for recognition and protection of individual autonomy and its prerogatives. Legitimate, yes, but they took to the lintel building a strong civil context for the recognition of collective rights, social and political.
The distribution of natural resources and wealth is not in itself neither just nor unjust. It is not fair or unfair that men are born under particular conditions in society. They are facts of nature. Unfair is the management of differences, the arbitrariness with which the governed.

is for us to pursue "justice as fairness." Although it is difficult. Although it would be easier to persuade with unyielding certainty that Manichean good and evil are on two opposite sides of a war. Although it is sometimes difficult to have the courage of painful reason and reasonable.
