Greece Today

There has been an ongoing discussion about whether Greece will or will not make it out of its economic recession, which to the surprise of many seems to have no end. The economic crisis in the views of most only ignited further crises that have an impact on Society, which is much greater than the impact the loss of income had in itself. Many see a Social crisis that is followed by a crisis of legal values followed by the loss of all etchical values that once formed and shaped the Greekness of the nation and glued it together. The younger generations, which have been cultivated by the values of globalization seem to take a different stance on their reality and have moved away from traditional Greek values, such as family and religion. This alienated version of the contemporaty Greek is chaning the social landscape of the country, as a whole. While the past was consumed with historical inaccuracies that one could find in a publication, igniting mass hysteria requesting the restoration of the truth, today's generations are consumed with much deeper issues such as the securing of a future that does not seem to be happening for them. With an unemployment rate among the youth of almost 50%, this country is watching helplessly its potential fleeing abroad. What remains is hardly enough to put the country back on its feet. Moreover, experts has also rang numerous other "bells of dangers", which are predominantely of a demographic nature. And this disruption in demographic curves entails a major impact on various levels. More deaths than births - it has been predicted that by 2050 the population of Albania, a country that shows constant growth in births, will equal the population of Greece, that is declining. Another major problem surfacing these days and will probably take on the dimension of a "political nuclear bomb" is the issue of the public Social Insurance System, which shown a deficit of 1 trillion EUR. With that in mind, we need to sobber up and stop believing in "dei ex machina".
