Politicians are elected to administer with an ideological bias.
If you
want to identify problems, go to the officials,
and
those should go to their own data or, if that's not enough,
to
science. There is an entire state there that also has a job to do, not just the
politicians.
It often
happens that officials have enough problems to
deal with
already, so they may tend to think
that a
problem is not a problem as long as does not affect
them
directly or it is not big enough.
they may
even try to silence it.
They may
also have an ideological bias.
And this
is where few members of society are activated
themselves
to make known to officials and politicians
about
their problem. They can make noise to be heard.
That
noise means someone has a problem.
A
problem that is not solved tends to grow.
Dealing
with problems only after they have grown makes activism a lucrative business.
The
media play a key role in making noise heard, in highlighting
specific
noises. The media also have their own agenda, which is that of their owners.
A
society that does not listen to noise will create officials
and
politicians who don't listen to the noise either, because
They
come from that society. Society may tend not to elect leaders
to fix
or identify problems, but only to reduce noise.
So you
can have a deafening noise in one hand (the only way to make a problem fixed)
and the media highlights it maybe to criminalize it, pointing out how deafening
that noise is.
Media
highlights can intensify a small noise to the point of making it deafening.
Why? to
create fear. Fear is also a lucrative business.
Fear
defeats ethics; panic is selfish and breaks social cohesion.
A
fearful and selfish disjointed society that emphasizes the
noise
makers is beneficial to those who make a living from creating noise and to
those in power, as any alternative to them is feared and criminalized.
In the
meantime, the problems will remain unresolved. Fear and lack of ethics feed
each other.
Problem
solving requires calm debate, deep knowledge, trust (in the other's ethics),
seeing the other as an equal:
without
fear, without hate. Then things can be changed.
It also
requires a functioning education system and basic knowledge. a social network
for those who have fallen (solidarity).
A
selfish, fearful, unethical and disjointed society has more room for hatred
than for solidarity.
And then
things can start to go very wrong.
