“Children are now angry and snickering”: what high school students think about their peers, teachers and the future

Are there any topics that are too difficult to discuss with children? Judging by the course of social studies, no. Here, children go through economics, politics, and sociology. But few people talk about it with schoolchildren. And our blogger, social studies teacher Viktor Bormotov, decided to talk. And he asked the children to write an essay.

Have you ever wondered what “society” is? How do you see him? What do you want from him now and in the future? I think rarely. When I asked my students from 7th, 8th and 9thth classes to write (or draw) an essay, answering similar questions, they were, to put it mildly, surprised. “Write whatever I want?” they asked. And then they whispered: “This is some kind of trick, something is not right here.” But they were interested. First of all, because no one has ever, by and large, been interested in their opinion.

Creative freedom is still a great thing! To be honest, I expected to read a lot of pearls or some nonsense. I will not hide, it was also. But to a lesser extent. Basically, I saw meaningful social science studies. I suggest you take a look at them too.

About problems

(schoolchildren’s point of view)

• “Adolescents or even children from 11 to 16 are the same. As if made under a carbon copy. Smoking, drinking, having sex, or doing nothing at all. They seem to be afraid to stand out or “to be different from everyone else”, they mow down what is fashionable. I sincerely feel sorry for those children who were recently born. After all, most likely, they will live in a destroyed economy and among the most repulsed people. Our society is degrading”;
• “Everyone relaxed and gave up on studying”;
• “A large number of people, or rather children, are now drinking and smoking”;
• “Our society is in complete shit. Children shoot short videos and hope to earn money by doing this, but, in reality, they simply degrade. Toddlers (9-13 years old) smoke more than adults”;
• “Children in our time are angry and snickering. They can poison, beat children they don’t like. They don’t study, they don’t do anything, they just suffer from bullshit and mess around”;
• “Society is getting dumber. Looking at my peers and comparing them with people who were born 20 years earlier, I am truly horrified. A lot of guys kill themselves and their brains with cigarettes, alcohol, phones – sometimes my peers sit in them for 16 hours, doing nothing useful!

About the good

• “In today’s society, among the advantages are mobility, increased education due to the availability of information, gradual improvement in living standards, development of technology. But I think that these are not too significant advantages. People stopped appreciating communication, buried themselves in phones, stopped respecting their elders”;
• “Modern society seems to be diverse. The people around me are bright, ambitious and purposeful. Everyone is looking for a way to replenish their stock of knowledge, develop skills. In principle, there are now many opportunities that society has begun to use: exhibitions, theaters, libraries, sports clubs, lectures. ”

About dreams

• “I want prices to decrease, for example, for candy. And to make rides cheaper! And then you go once, and then you save for a month “;
• “Most parents restrict their children. It seems to me that as long as there are representatives of society who have grown up on other principles and ideals, modern society cannot fully open up”;
• “I want everyone to treat each other a little kinder in the future and that people don’t throw animals out into the street”;
• “Men in our society walk as they please. Some of them are also wearing women’s clothes. Many condemn them, but in fact it is their business – how they look. I would like everyone to accept the choice of others in the future.”

About teachers (shock content!)

“Teachers do not cope with children, they become aggressive and angry. And there are just soviet teachers who yell at children and force them to walk on a string.”

About the education reform

• “In the future, I would like the lessons to be held as lectures, only without credits. And it would be great if there was a free visit”;
• “I would simplify the school curriculum. And I would take one more day off – on Thursday or Wednesday”;
• “I am sitting here in society, being forced to write some kind of essay. All of this needs to be canceled!”

Forecasts for the future (with notes of socialism)

• “Modern society is lazy and carefree people. They are traumatized, they are infuriated by work. Our economy is developing in favor of the rulers. The new generation will try to correct the mistakes of their parents and make new ones. Perhaps an apocalypse will happen, or maybe a miracle, and we will become more tolerant and stop oppressing people”;
• “I cannot say that our society is very good now. There are a lot of things that society often, or rather, constantly, is in disagreement with. But nevertheless, society itself creates and distributes them. The same patriarchy and bullying! If I had the opportunity, I would correct society so that it is more focused on helping others. I want people to accept others for who they are”;
• “In the future, everything will be different. For example, people will help each other, treat the problems of others with understanding. All wars will end, and states will change”;
• “If you give me power, I will abolish taxes and the police. Society will be fair. People will be paid according to their ability.”

Conclusions

• Children want to be talked to more, more interested in their opinion. This is very important to them. So far, such practices at school are clearly not enough.
• I am struck by a rather clear and precise understanding of the social processes taking place around, immersion in them. Our children are not as infantile as we think they are.
• Of course, there is a lot of pessimism and cynicism, which cannot but cause anxiety among us adults.
• A clear desire for social justice and collectivism, harmony in society.

There is an obvious need for full-fledged studies of the views of the younger generation regarding the future of society. So far, as I see it, the entire scientific and educational system is aimed at exploring everything and deciding for them.

The main heirs of Berlusconi’s business empire are his older children

Berlusconi left his children a multi-billion dollar fortune

900 99 July 6, 2023

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who died on June 12 at the age of 86, bequeathed most of his fortune to his eldest children Marina and Pier Silvio. They increased their stake in Fininvest, which was their father’s main asset, to 53%. Three more children from the second marriage got 47%. In total, Forbes estimates Berlusconi’s fortune at 6.4 billion euros.

Immediately after the death of the former prime minister and one of Italy’s richest men, the media began to speculate about how his legacy would be divided.

It was assumed that Berlusconi could divide everything equally between the five children from two marriages, but he decided otherwise and left a large share to the two eldest children from his first wife, Carla Elvira Dell’Oglio. Marina and Pier Silvio Berlusconi, who have been actively involved in the management of the family business since the early 1990s and already owned shares in Fininvest, have now received a controlling stake.

Three children from their second marriage also received an impressive fortune – Barbara, Eleanor and Luigi became owners of 47% of Fininvest shares.

• A case of vodka from Putin and a heartfelt letter from Berlusconi. Scandal erupted in Italy over Russia and Ukraine

“Thank you, with great love, your dad,” Berlusconi’s will, which was signed 19 more times, is quoted by ANSA. January 2022, after the first hospitalization this year at the San Raffaele Clinic in Milan.

Berlusconi did not forget about his girlfriend Marta Fashina, with whom he spent his last years, and his faithful secretary and adviser Marcello Del Utri.

“For the love I felt for them and the love they gave me,” he wrote in his will and ordered that Fascine be given 100 million euros, and Del Utri – 30 million. Berlusconi’s brother Paolo inherited 100 million euros.

The family business

The value of the holding company Fininvest SpA, in which Silvio Berlusconi himself controlled 61.21%, is estimated at 4.55 billion euros.

It includes many other companies, including the MediaForEurope media group (formerly Mediaset Group) led by Pier Silvio, the Mondadori publishing house led by Marina Berlusconi, and the Mediolanum bank.

Marina Berlusconi has also served as President of Fininvest since 2005, and in June the shareholders confirmed her authority.

MediaForEurope’s shares after the news of the death of Silvio Berlusconi jumped in price on the Milan stock exchange on a wave of rumors about a possible sale or merger of the group, but the company’s management quickly put an end to them, saying that no major changes were planned.

“We in the family never talked about selling Mediaset,” said Pier Silvio Berlusconi

Extensive inheritance

If everything is more or less clear with the main family asset, then the question of dividing the rest of the property remains open. For example, how to equally divide the numerous luxurious villas and the works of art that are stored in them?

This old villa from the beginning of the 18th century in Arcore near Milan, with a 73-hectare estate, a stable, an indoor swimming pool, a heliport and a football field, is worthy of fame thanks to bunga bunga parties.
