We are a country with many trouble and once again Censis highlighted some of the main flaws:
- 31% of parents play every day at video games for more than two hours.
- Not more than 20% of Italians have the minimum skills to guide and resolve, through the appropriate use of the Italian language, complex situations and problems of everyday life.
- We are third in the world for number of interventions in aesthetic medicine and surgery in relation to population. In 2012 in Italy the interventions of aesthetic medicine increased by 24.5%. There are 900 centers for the tattoos (cost varying from 40 to 2,000 Euros each). Every week in Italy open 4 new centers specializing in tattoos.
- Growing pessimism about the future and it is expected to further ethical degradation: 55% increase for the bribes, such as tax evasion (58.6%) and the practice of accepting dubious businesses (59.8%).
- Increase the consumption of psychotropic drugs: 16.2% of anti-depressive in 6 years.
Yesterday I wrote about the necessity to redefine the success concept, here it has been has already been redefined. Rather than the wisdom of the development of new skills, they search fo a luck in the video games; the well-being is reached through the psychiatric drugs, tattoos and aesthtetic medicine/surgery; instead of the idea of return/sharing, growing passivity and helplessness to the future and ethics; the desire to wonder gives way to an impersonal lifestyle, copy of that one told through the lives of celebrity gossip.
