Breaking the rules: now useful in politics…
€ 3.00We live at a time of endless changes that are altering the way our democracy works and affecting society, the economy and communications. The recession and growing migratory flows have highlighted the pressures on the political system and the effects are obvious. We are seeing a reversal of values, our trust has been “disenfranchised”. Today what counts is breaking the rules. Cancelling the past. And the future too. The “people’s democracy” has been replaced by a “media/immediate democracy”, which uses the web to challenge and disturb any form of mediation, eroding trust in the mediators. We are watching the establishment of anti-politics while “representative democracy” is up for discussion. However, this lack of trust compromises personal relations and social mediation too, weakening and delegitimising political parties and fraying the fabric of society. In this way, it is hard to “change” because regaining “well-being” requires having trust in others.
