Hartz IV makes people fall through the social grid 05/02/2011
The significant social changes we are witnessing on the way to the propagated knowledge and learning society, can always fall and more people through the social grid. The current almost immeasurable individual Freedom we can achieve in life, relationships and work patterns is, with a seemingly paradoxical compulsion to customize (and self-presentation), hand in hand with lack stable identity patterns and protective safety nets of family remained on the track. Nowadays, those who loses his job is dependent on the support of the state and lands (often despite good training and education) with the relevant joint ventures and the highly controversial Hartz IV benefits.
These people are referred to relevant Internet forums as lazy, stupid sometimes permanent Hartz, which were sorted out right from the working life: if you want, it is said, can work for the good thinks you are always able to find a job. Little sympathy strikes against these people, their individual fates are not taken into account, and they are labeled with the tainted stigma of failure. I too was among those Hartz IV recipients had to insert verbal blows, and was deserted in a critical forum that deals with the questions to Hartz IV, the critics of social abuses, so hard that I was surprised at the hatred that Hartz IV recipients receive sometimes suggests.
Since the day I had to take himself Hartz IV warranty claim, I began life under the constant threat and to the reasonable fear, not out of this life event, to suffer. It is hard to understand fears, in which the monthly payments are to continue, but there is basically no money. One part I was one of the people who have been tried by the Springer press with a massive bias on the front page in recent months, overall - I knew I was a social failure according to the criteria of that company and did everything to get out of the spider's web out. On the other hand, I was well educated, published in my time Hartz IV more work and felt neither failed nor inferior. I acted because I necessarily from the Hartz IV dependence wanted to see me more devastating existential problems with Argentina in Hamburg, some of which, the payments stopped (given the voluntary work at a Jewish school). My constitutionally guaranteed right to free choice of venue was denied me and the move (despite the 150 € cheaper rent) denied. Only when the landlord had already filed eviction notice, my payments were paid late and I saw panic in existence only as an opportunity to allow the lawsuit and therefore lost everything. I have not fought back and my apartment was evacuated four days before Christmas.
Now I can not for reasons of cost once the personal belongings until 20 Feb. 2011 pick, as the Argentina of course pays for the costs. The opportunities in this society out of a crash are slim, if not impossible. A failure has no place, it also provides for my family, who looks away. And me? What is astonishing is that the Hartz IV me time and the constant battle with Argentina, the weekly package of letters that flutter all stakeholders into the house, so mellow has made that I'm almost relieved by the power (and abuse) the government employees can no longer be dependent. I prefer to stay on the track. This, like the looking away, the silence of my family got me thinking and shocked me. We now seem to follow a Darwinian image of man, because who does not succeed is dispensable. Who does not withstand the pressure to perform, which is no good. Here our social empathy will be the loser, because we view the many people we sacrifice the shareholders courses and block cost reductions, turn away and allow a casino capitalism, in which we sort out people according to their usefulness or off.
