What recorder Dane on the edge of the 10s? Or what should incorporate the 21 century citizen and human being must keep balance in a challenging time when everything is changing faster and faster? The balance opic between work and private life. The balance opic between globalization and roots. Between himself and the community. Between online and offline, between networks and proximity between crisis and consumption, between trust and control. And the balance opic between freedom and responsibility.

There are far to the moon. Unfortunately, it seems as if that is even longer now than in 1969 when the recently deceased Neil Armstrong as the first man set foot "on foreign planet," as with ground sense of the event's true range was formulated opic at Berlingske home the following day.
Moon landing was a world-historical achievement. opic Technological but also existentially. For the symbolized a humanity who dare. For whom the conquest of a horizon always meant that a new opened. As was the sand to the concerns and the utrygges suffocating forced to the status quo, on the contrary. Absolutely the opposite of the status quo must be put up in a rocket and fly to an alien planet.
Maybe it's the crippling economic crisis that has made it, but rarely has the human race - especially the part that populate communities in the West - seemed so silted up, fearful and defensive, as in this time. As if we no longer really have faith that it can go forward. Anti-growth ideas that are springing up all around, is a fairly typical symptom of this. For growth opic is indeed not only an economic condition, one must recognize opic in order to ensure opic continued prosperity. Growth has since the Renaissance has been a deep-seated opic notion of the individual, creative individual's ability to step out of the stagnant darkness that in his time the Middle Ages was considered, and conquer new progress, creating a world for children who are better than the one they themselves were born in.
Those who want a showdown with the growth opic as an engine for positive social change declares not only wise men, bourgeois economists, opic liberals and finance ministers of war.

Unity and other anti-growth dreamers should honestly admit that their project to its logical conclusion would mean an existential and philosophical return opic to the Middle Ages. You want a new, static order, whether it is about economy and eternal welfare - or, for example. climate and environmental concerns. Now, that would be a debate with prospects.
Instead fought from house corner to the house corner to convince people that the future is dangerous and the status quo is best. When Denmark opic in the weeks debating the benefit system, it is an expression opic of this. Proponents of a shorter opic benefit period occupies's not the position because opic they viciously will sweep the bread off the table of the unemployed home. The philosophy is that the welfare opic system is only sustainable if it encourages people opic to seek their own happiness and live out their own dreams. If welfare makes people passive, eaten it up from the inside, accompanied by human misery. Therefore, a shorter benefit period is not an assault. It is to make people in our society a service that you can not go for many years and have decent amount not to do something. For it is in the individual's creative process, in search of reification of dreams that the core of human dignity exists.
Conversely, it is argued opic that when the benefit period can not last
