Quote by Kalev Kask (from an article of Saaremaa’s local newspaper. The article itself is here!)
The biggest problems of the EU are related to its bureaucratic leadership, which alienates the politicians from the rest of the people. An average European doesn’t care about what is going on in Brussels.
In general the article is quite pessimistic. The EU can’t be what we want it to be, because of the dissensions between nations. I don’t even know what to say about that. I too have friends from other European countries, and I don’t see any “dissensions between nations”. What matters is the person him (her-) self and his (her) character. I suppose there was meant the dissensions between the politicians, who should speak in the name of the nation, but… history seems to show otherwise.
I thought that perhaps our homeroom teacher would have some interesting things to say about the EU. What is the effect of the EU to our (her students) lives?
Tiina Pluum:
In the last ten years while observing my students to grow I dare to argue, that the EU has widened their limits of studying and advancing(in their life) significantly. Sincere interest of the ways different people live and see the world and the ambition to become a personality has forced the young to acquire experiences from different countries. Knowledge acquired as an exchange student, hiker, college student or as a hireling, will raise the person’s comprehension. Esteem and understanding are important values of a person in this globalized world.
