What Do You Think About Lorraine Hansberry'

freedom

Tonight at around 19:00 in Piazza IV Novembre, Perugia, shouting "we want Gaddafi government fall, "is paraded on a protest march against the violent repression Libyan.
talk about the procession is basically an exaggeration, because it was a few dozen angry men, but not at all annoying, terribly distraught about the fate of their countrymen. Something completely improvised, obviously very organized, signs in Arabic and some in an Italian unlikely, but effective. Some
Italian curious, a little too timid to be truly inclusive, it was also approached. One of them has dared to make a round of applause.
I was one of the few Italians around at that hour in the center. I was there by chance, as if by chance I was born in a free country (at least that they strive to make me believe), yet I felt very close to those guys. Of course I did those few steps that would be enough to join the group and I even joined the chorus. I was watching and I took this picture, highlighting the spoiled boy who had chosen as the subject of my testimony. I thought of my mother, who would surely have said: "Are you crazy?" Get away! " After all, they were all men and foreigners. So I gave up and I was watching, like watching television.
few minutes later the group decided to meet again tomorrow morning at the same place and walked down the Corso, in the same street where did the meantime, rub some Italians. I turned around and I took my direction. I never felt like this place alive in those moments where the cries of the young men rang: "Gaddafi out! Gaddafi down!"

The crackdown on demonstrators in Libya has the face of hundreds of mercenaries from Africa Sub-Saharan Africa, hired by Gaddafi to keep order. The North African dictatorships are a byproduct of Europe. We have exported impersonating democracy dictatorships and now that our brothers Africans have decided to take back what belongs to him, can not even be fixed to 100%.
We sold out our democracy to the highest bidder and now no longer remember what it is. Let us look amazed and dreams, but dreams are so afraid of freedom. We have explained very well the guys Rosarno, we repeat it every day, like an echo that is spreading in the blood, the brothers of North Africa.

The same awe and wonder the same dreamy I had seen printed on the face of a North African drug dealer Friday night on ladders, in the same square. We watched a horde of drunken Italians sing, dance and play. I asked why she smiled. For me was crying. E he told me: You Italians you complain as well, but you know what's going on in Tunisia, Libya!?!

Even tonight I went home thinking that the few times where I have demonstrated against a government uncomfortable I got lost in bureaucracy and permit applications, small diatribe on leadership, even though it was only necessary to protest.

In Italy there are over 68,000 laws in force. Compared to 6,000 in France, the 8000 of Germany, 9,000 in Britain. Every new law requires new facilities, officials, offices, cars blue. It is no longer of laws that we need, but of courage and peace. Those who have known freedom, who you remember, should strive every day to tell it. Who dreams, however, should be strong and follow your instincts.

Youth, women and unemployed

Young unemployed people to 29%. E 'record since 2004, Istat said. It also says that the female unemployment rate is 10%. Young people and women, therefore, a losing combination. Let's talk about
gender gap concept in any field will work better than explicit.
"In Italy there are 28718441 30412846 men and women, for a total of 59131287 people. We can say that in Italy there are approximately 28 million men and 30 million women, for a total of 59 million Italians. "(Istat 2007)
Italy continues to lose positions in the ranking of equality between men and women in the 2010 report of the World Economic Forum Italy - with the His No. 74 (out of 134 countries surveyed), two fewer than in 2009 - is lagging behind the European Union, followed, among the advanced countries, preceded only by Japan but from the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, Ghana, Malawi, Romania and Tanzania. At the top of the rankings, in order, Iceland, Norway, Finland and Sweden, in the end we are Mali, Pakistan, Chad and Yemen. "The differences between the sexes," said Klaus Schwab, founder and president of the World Economic Forum "Are directly related to the high economic competitiveness: women and girls are treated equally if a country is growing and thriving. But we still need a revolution for equality, not only putting together a large group of talents both in numbers and quality, but also creating a greater sensitivity to the problem in our institutions.

In this gloomy picture I add my personal account gained more than 5 years of research work. We are sure that the filters that govern access to the labor market (formerly known as the center for placement currently employment, and temporary employment agencies and hundreds of search engines on the web, the network of post-graduate education) are really effective? It 'may somehow interfere negatively in the encounter between supply and demand work? I think so.
placements do not allocate more that employees ipertutelati the provinces. The private agencies are concerned only to place workers with a very low level of schooling, almost all foreigners, even rubbing to provide training services free or nearly so, of which, however, no entity can verify the actual utility. Then earn from government grants and European entrepreneur take a tot who hires them and levy a fixed fee each month from the payroll of the unfortunate allocated. For the network of post-graduate education will devote a post soon, is a chapter and then even more paradoxical is the subject of my thesis.
Only a few scholars have fully understood the dynamics and timing of these mammoth complex public, private and hybrid, what else do nothing but make money on the already dire situation. These few have done tireless work of their misfortune, but nevertheless are part of the increasingly large percentage of inactive that this year they have stopped trying. It is those unemployed who have stopped looking for work through institutional channels, but for some strange methodological criteria are not counted among the unemployed and are placed in a class of ...
That's right: look for a job is a full-time job, also very challenging. The lucky ones know that we have a job but, in fear of losing it, would continue to look around.
In Italy the only system that really works at all levels for the job search is the "recommendation". The proof is the fact that no one fully understands the difference even between reference and recommendation, when the reference is in Europe and the rest of the world the key channel for access to employment. Not work here even word of mouth, the joint solution, because in a country as desperate as that in which we live, have the system of dog eat dog.
Flexibility unregulated labor market, combined with the congenital weakness of the informal networks of relationships typical of postmodernism and of any country in economic crisis, with the aggregate of social networking vaniloquente is equal to a place where the weak die.
Paraphrasing Cohen, this is no country for old men, but not for young people, women and children.
