Theme:
COMMUNICATION AND (INTERHUMAN) RELATIONSHIPS
Has communication become a one-way manipulation?
Has reality been replaced by its technological surrogate?
Are we sinking into an abyss of lethargy due to excess information?
Are we letting our brains out to pasture because we finally have our own intellectual assistant Chat GPT?
OR We sharpen our critical thinking. We strengthen empathy. We become our own, international and planetary.
Have we developed into better people and a smarter humanity through enhanced communication
networks?
OR Are we standing still, not changing our nature since the beginning of civilization?
Are we hearing each other better or just faster and more superficially?
Where has neighborly solidarity disappeared and is it really forbidden?
How is fear incited and hatred spread by the media?
The most serious form of destruction of humanity is forbidden communication, because people, despite their
imperfections, are social beings.
Mass media communication has been reduced to paid advertisements. Public speech has become vulgarized. The world
is full of swearing and swearing. Interpersonal relationships are in their infancy. Technology puts a pacifier in their mouth and a rattle under their arms.
Have we taken a step forward or a step back?
What can we say to that without saying a word?
