You raised a problem that hurts our country and neighboring countries, more or less.
Civilization and education are less and less present in our society, and I find it less and less pleasant to leave the house. I don't like people, mainly because of their behavior.

We have laws against most crimes, but the biggest problem is that they are not applied. What you told about the two policemen in Switzerland, you don't see in Romania. In our country, criminals have multiplied, and the policemen have disappeared.

The liberal vision of the world, with many rights for people, as I want, must be applied in an educated society. Romania has gained freedom, but most inhabitants are not ready for it. In this case, only drastic laws applied to every mistake or crime can ensure something similar to Switzerland after a few decades.

As for your question, the answer is no. I don't spit in the street, I don't litter, I even teach my 5-year-old granddaughter not to do that and much more. The child is very receptive, learns quickly, and draws the attention of others who do not apply these rules.

I didn't want to go into much details about our country and digress, but we both know Romania is in a very bad place in this regard and chances for things to change for better in a foreseeable future ate slim to none. As I said in my post, people are quick to complain and blame the government, municipality, you name it, while they break as many laws as possible. Citizen's responsibility for them is just a word in the dictionary and they have never heard of it.

The only way to educate them is by strict measures, but who's going to apply them as those responsible are also busy with looking to cut corners for personal gains.

We're living in a crazy country and will never get anywhere, unfortunately.

I really loved the video and made me think that if Switzerland did it, it means it's possible, but we're never going to as people only want easy and free money, nothing more.

I congratulate you for raising your granddaughter the right way. That is the age to teach they a lot of things they need in order to be a responsible human being. Unfortunately many kids spend their childhood in the streets, even if they have a home and so many are left to play video games or watch TV, because their parents are useless. You can guess what these kids are going to achieve in life.

Unfortunately, we are lost from this point of view of education and citizenship. I am horrified by what I see and hear daily when I meet groups of students going to and from school.
I lost faith that the future could still be good for us. I have also seen many educated, curious, and hard-working children and young people, but the ugly side of things covers them. I'm sorry.
