Grown Man Having Wet Dreams

Open comparing integration desirable ...

Great melting pot, European cities have a long tradition of acceptance populations from other parts of the world and expressions of other cultures. Hamburg Amsterdam Antwerpen Venice were cities in the world, to quote Braudel. Rather than end they were big open portals on economic social and cultural spaces only partially known. On this opening, the cosmopolitanism, they built their prestige, their authority, their hegemony. Within these streets and neighborhoods were often inhabited by specific ethnic groups who carried out their activities and there are represented through their places of worship or places of special categories of occupation and non-religious schools. And they shared spaces within the urban fabric, such as markets, helping to enrich the city's economy "Guests", pushing social and spatial mobility. The ethnic and cultural differences also strengthened through intermarriage companies who could exploit them.
Venice has been exemplary in accepting the "difference", with its ability to incorporate, assimilate, but also a visionary call to protect certain freedoms of expression, religion, tradition, cuisine and a delicious ability to introject forms, values, uses, and integrate them into his life, the arts, culture, language ...
This aggression of a handful of worn-yesterday to a foreign worker in Venice injury in a coma sounds more like a city already outraged by the stupid rituals that the league proposes bold with complacency. Venice has seen many, is a city disenchanted, cynical. Invasion of idiots in green responds with skeptical irony, some hoisting tricolor and stay at home as long as "no ... I left the x". Of course we would like a more responsive, a bit 'of rebellion, anger .. and we'd like more throughout Italy. An Italy
for which there is still so recent experience of emigration to remember the golden rule of biblical memory: do to others what was done to your father or your grandfather ... or perhaps because our past is poor and dispossessed so dangerously close to our ephemeral privileges today alo our fragile health today, it seems that you want to remove it behind them and not to recognize the features and expression of our emigrants humiliated and in despair on the faces of the immigrants of today.
But really belongs to the past the right distinction between new and old alignments (left?) And radical reformers? On one hand, distrust and insecurity xenophobia fear appeals to public policy. Solidarity Across opening reception included.
The matter is more complicated .. or maybe easier. During the election campaign was underlined that safety and legality are not the monopoly the right. And integration and rights should be everyone!
But is the escalation in repressive and xenophobic act shows that the Government and for a small portion of public issue, immigration is considered a matter of public policy. So the mysterious division becomes circular. Also proposing questions about the proper nature of integration. That integration, let's call it, is not a worthy goal, but indispensable in Italian society, seems to be a view shared by all right-thinking people of any deployment.
But it is more ambiguous to define what it means.
If integration is a desirable state of affairs in which Italian citizens and migrant workers, the prospect of becoming future citizens respect the laws and rules, live together in peace and respect, is indeed ambiguous whether this process should occur as a result of a mutual approach or instead of a unilateral adjustment of aliens to our society and culture. In short, a burden to pay, with the acceptance of values \u200b\u200band traditions of "our" oblivion of "them". Defense of the witch and the fight kebab? It is not that simple of course, although it must be re-elected with a clear and elemental simplicity of the primacy of law, solidarity, respect, obedience to the rules of coexistence. I'd like
discuss (and then practice it) as it should be the integration of the left, a shared process inspired by justice (understood as social justice) and not only by solidarity, reception, dall'umanitarismo. A justice that takes into account what we have to one another between individuals and public dimension to what you have to institutions and citizens. The left can not and must not chase the muscularity of the right, just not to be accused of carelessness and excessive tolerance or underestimation.
safety and legality are attributes of justice. A company must also be right to secure stable and regulated by laws and respect. And pluralist. A request for assimilation to one way is unfair if the cost of adaptation is only paid by the migrants in terms of denial and limitation in their lifestyles. At the same time would be ripe soon settled the question of multiculturalism, with the support of a welfare approach and indiscriminate tribalization, which risks sliding dangerously towards extreme tendencies of failing to protect not only our citizens but also the weakest of the other communities.
do not know the "recipe". I do not think that a cultural relativism that opposes a simplified Eurocentrism. Perhaps the way is the recognition of rights not to "culture" but to members cultures so that they can practice their freedom without discrimination.
But I'd like it opened a comparison to help steer institutional behaviors but also to correct perceptions, attitudes, the "feel" of public opinion.

How To Make A Dress Look Formal

The welcome is the new frontier

Landing in 1831 in the port of New York, the young Tocqueville remains amazed by the dynamism of the people who were erecting a new nation. What Withman calls the teeming nation of nations. Above all else is surprised by the spirit of equality that permeated the lives and customs of the people. He remembered
JFKenndy in a pamphlet in 1957 that immigration is going to be also published by us Donzelli for having been partially anticipated by the Republic today. This' that Tocqueville saw, Kennedy writes, was a society of immigrants who had begun a new life on an equal footing.
Kennedy And those are the premises of the new frontier of his American dream.
We know for many that dream was a nightmare, even without mentioning the slow relentless destruction of the natives. How many tragedies of marginalization and exclusion have been consumed in the light of that radiant vision: Indian, Chinese, Mexican. Kennedy cites a New York newspaper that writes about the Italian immigration: "The floodgates have opened, the bars down the sewer .. unstopped. The dregs Immigration is pouring on our shores. Of mud from the tanks as well, the scum of the third class is filled in our country ... "
We have forgotten all this, the odyssey of our emigrants, to eradicate the suffering, separation and oblivion of suffering families, suffering . The exciting text
Kennedy says "the immigration laws should be generous, should be fair, should be flexible. With similar laws in the world and we can look to our past with clean hands and clear conscience. "
Our country today can not have a clear conscience, either to the past of her citizens or their future.
Some time ago I spoke of compassion, a sharing of the pain so effectively describes Kennedy. A feeling of participation must not only be aimed at those who driven by despair arrive in our country, but also for generations to come, which fear, suspicion, mistrust, racism threaten to erode the future to affect the expectations of freedom, undermine the perception of dignity.
why I said that the opposition to repressive measures, unfair and inflexible became a necessary exercise of good citizenship.
and "compassion", that compassion must find solutions and social policies and position on a permanent a culture of pluralism and respect for the principles of rights, of the possibility of the differences in freedom, to give completeness to democracy.
the suffering of those who leave, taking with him memories and traditions, which often find it hard to perpetuate that escape hunger and concrete threats that threaten the existence, to address other equally terrible, can not be answered with the culture of control, with the militarization cities, with indiscriminate repression to defend the territories of the privilege, with the forced passage of the welfare state to the state prosecution. To start this
need information and cultural processes, which also help to promote the legal guarantees of rights of freedom and social and political rights. To guide public opinion towards the affirmation of traditional titles and new "entitlement": those of foreign migrants, but also the right environment, water, to not be marginalized for sexual preferences and options. In essence, the right to peace, justice, fairness, dignity
And also entitled to a welfare state, where the left has been guilty failure, the perverse effects of playing party politics and welfarism, and that today we pay with the dismantling of the apparatus of the social system, subordinated to the logic of the market competitive and discriminatory.
It would take just one left active on these issues. Able to look and to protect the expectation of "future", to counter the phenomenon of deculturation, and eradication of deterritorialization that our hegemony of developed countries has forced the countries of starvation and the masses of immigrants pouring into our borders.
would be obliged to do so: the renunciation of leadership on these issues, that is, we condemn the threat of insecurity to the fear for the future, theirs and ours, which weighs on the mortgage on the outrageous hope. We must find the courage of a creative policy that resists political and economic discrimination in the name of the complexity of the world, its variety, its beauty and power evolutiva.L 'alternative may be uncertainty and fear.

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.
