Nov 19 2011: By yours reply i can tell that you haven't spotted where the Poland is on those charts in the video you linked ;) "(Bulgaria seems to have it a lot worse)" Well our problems are diffrent than Bulgaria's. The biggest is that very few young people wants to fight for a change, and I as their representant shall mind my own business and suggest to move on over that. Thank you for usefull conversation(for me). Bye
Nov 19 2011: Learning from someone else mistakes is hard, I know it. But there is a small problem with what you are saying though. Geopolitics is against us. I live in quite small country, developing country, may by someone called emerging country, but close to western countries. What it all means? It means that european crisis is not touching us, we live quite well and many of us, just simply don't want to change anything, to make our lifes better. It's also written into our nation genome, we complain everyday on almost everything, but we don't change anything. You have no idea how much time and energy I spend to reverse that process I was thaught. I knew that complaining would't help in anything, but that is what everybody were and are doing. In other hand it became national flaw, and many youg people had realised that. Every Poland achievement in science/education is powered by young people, but sadly those who were raised in comunism aren't helping a bit. So i think my society is pushing young people down. Every person up here knows that but noone does anything apart complaining how bad it is.
PS. Those things that you said about asking ourselves, about our collective values, we do that, but not as a whole nation. There are polish sites about self development, career, life in general, some of them are very good, but they are directed to the people who really care about theirs life quality, and that is a small group. We can't infect it to whole nation, belive me we tried, and at some point we gave up. Well that's all, please tell me if you meant something else, and i didn't understood it, it's a complex case
Nov 19 2011: The Andrzej's country is Poland. Mine too. He is talking about past times I think, when there was comunism in Poland or early stages of transformation. The problem is that our country still don't have any conception about helping young people, in any way. The diffrence is that we now have vast opportunities, because of globalisation and our opening to europe. The real problem now is: We have many ways to go, but no support on which to choose, which we want. Young people are confused on what they really want to do, I'm
