Strangers at Our Door
Author: Zygmunt Bauman
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509512209
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Refugees from the violence of wars and the brutality of famished lives have knocked on other people's doors since the beginning of time. For the people behind the doors, these uninvited guests were always strangers, and strangers tend to generate fear and anxiety precisely because they are unknown. Today we find ourselves confronted with an extreme form of this historical dynamic, as our TV screens and newspapers are filled with accounts of a 'migration crisis', ostensibly overwhelming Europe and portending the collapse of our way of life. This anxious debate has given rise to a veritable 'moral panic' - a feeling of fear spreading among a large number of people that some evil threatens the well-being of society. In this short book Zygmunt Bauman analyses the origins, contours and impact of this moral panic - he dissects, in short, the present-day migration panic. He shows how politicians have exploited fears and anxieties that have become widespread, especially among those who have already lost so much - the disinherited and the poor. But he argues that the policy of mutual separation, of building walls rather than bridges, is misguided. It may bring some short-term reassurance but it is doomed to fail in the long run. We are faced with a crisis of humanity, and the only exit from this crisis is to recognize our growing interdependence as a species and to find new ways to live together in solidarity and cooperation, amidst strangers who may hold opinions and preferences different from our own.

"Everything was perfect, at least for him. Now even a message notification would cheer him up, which was of no importance to him before. Now he spent most of his time with his cellphone. From being Mr. Attitude of college, he had transformed into a lover boy. This was something he had never witnessed or experienced before. This was a great feeling, a never-ending warmth in his heart. These new happenings made his life heaven; after all, it was first time he was experiencing love. He had friends who were his life and now, he had someone who was more than a friend to him. He was happy about his decision to be in love. His life was in full pace and the little emptiness of his heart had been filled by this girl, his love. She loved him, he loved her... his gang was with him... what was more that he could ask from God? Everything was beyond perfect to him, unimaginable. However, as usual, expiry dates of good things are too short. It has been a fear in his mind before accepting this new track of life. Because he knew that his heart was too vulnerable to break. How long can he go to save his perfect life? It has been a question that haunts him every night before sleep, and soon comes again as he opens his eyes in the morning. But in the end, it is all about Realization of self, which is the only thing matters most in the life, which he was going to witness, which he will experience. What a true man is and what is the value of realization, this story is all about it. "
