Who invented it? The Swiss, of course. And now they are about the impact of its highly acclaimed direct democracy but a little surprised. For the referendum on minaret ban did not find many nice.
are lit and not very interesting the following factors:
is very obviously succeeded in the minaret opponents with a very emotional campaign all still such good arguments of the proponents of religious freedom, tolerance and integration to drown. A mechanism that works again and again. In advertising and in politics. Anyone who manages to stir emotions, is on the winning track.
One of the strongest emotions in addition to greed is all over the world fear. The fear of the unknown, the strange, the supposedly dangerous, often before the new. Fear thrives on the breeding ground of ignorance and half-knowledge; added intellectual laziness, the unwillingness and inability to deal seriously with a topic.
For politicians, advertisers and journalists can mean, in my opinion only: Those who exercise their profession in a responsible, has the effect of strong emotions such as fear at all times be aware of. Who is on short-term success, and therefore stirs up more or less vague fears, the long run will cause great harm.
