The passivity of society is a warning.
The passivity of society is a warning.
In times when even breathing has become difficult, speaking from the heart of society, which are the NGOs, might be a breath of fresh air.
If we want to address the future of NGOs, we must talk about their quantitative and qualitative aspects.
The presence of civil societies occurred with the onset of modernity and rationalism, and the creation of a middle-class society was defined alongside it.
In recent years, we must see what has happened to Iran’s middle class and how this society, which in a way has been the claimant of organization and presence in the realm of pragmatism, has progressed, and how the pursuit of gaps and enacting changes has been.
In the past years, Iran’s civil society has gone through various conditions and faced severe issues, and alongside patterns showing how impactful the presence of civil society can be, the question arose whether civil society was understood in Iran, whether civil society and institution-building were taught and cultured in Iran’s society, as Snyder points out in the context of society, the preservation of institutions is something citizens must recognize and maintain. This issue was realized, the question we faced after the dissolution of the Imam Ali Society is how Iranian society reacted to this matter. The answers to these questions show us how the middle class deals with security perspectives and interactions with civil society.
We talk about democracy, but our society still does not recognize what defines it and shies away from it.
Our society still finds itself in a neglected and forced space, reaching a great disconnect and even beginning to resemble the lies it hears.
This society, under conditions of social, economic, and psychological shocks, leads individuals in this environment to death and exhaustion.
The only solution to this issue, in my belief, is gathering together, speaking of the truth about child addiction, their marriages, the fact that addiction has reached fetal and childhood ages. Speaking of this truth is for change, which can shape the community.
In a structure where the government is inefficient and absent from the heart of society, and in a way, the people do not believe in themselves and have lost trust, only the presence of civil society and organizations can be salvaging.
The issue of human rights, children’s rights, and the vulnerable in these conditions can take shape and structure. This process must start from the family and be taught, and role models must be created for the teenage and young generations in this regard.
An individual’s mental health depends on their social effort and enthusiasm, and now we can see how little this effort is in our society, and individuals have developed various psychological disorders. This state only changes when this enthusiasm exists, and people participate socially. If individuals say they should be treated well, they must be sensitive to misconduct.
In Iranian society, there are many issues, and various discriminations and poverty have made the middle class face the issue of survival. We must see how much capacity still exists for a permanent presence to build society and prevent individuals from becoming more isolated and indifferent. This is our solution for reviving civil society.
