Millions of children are growing up seeing their parents disrespect their elders, their neighbors, and the law. To fix this is going to take time and uncompromising efforts.
That's really sad to hear. I always enjoy reading personal stories like this. There's so many things that the conventional media don't cover and perspective like this helped balance it out.
Thanks. It is sad indeed, especially because social media, which could have become a massive alternative press, has been trivialized mostly by people who could not care less by these seemingly harmless details. We have a motorcycle workshop next door. It was illegally established in an urban area that doe snot allow (legally) that kind of businesses (downtown, not enough room, highly polluting, etc). However, there's not a single instance you can go to denounce this; it does not matter the health of elders is at risk. "Everyone has the right to work," they say. Among the regulars clients of these mechanics are police officers who obviously do not see the problem with an establishment that does not meet any safety requirement, most likely does not pay taxes (not a single doc displayed showing otherwise), and has turned the block into a pigsty.
People got used to live among bad smell, noise, and trash. It got normalized. Whoever notices and complains is a snub.
