CORRELATIONS BETWEEN DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS AND THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY
As anticipated by the title of the article, I will try to offer some food for thought between the correlations of the use of technological tools and the numerous problems of children in their developmental years.
We are just shells
When I wasn’t in my bed sleeping, I was with my father watching the sun come up over the horizon. In the town I come from, the sun rises over the sea.
Medusa and Perseus
During the last few months I have been horrified and shocked by the amount of rape and violence that newspapers have been constantly publishing. Group violence perpetrated by teenagers on their companions, domestic violence, sale of minors on the prostitution market by the same relatives. All this is made even more unbearable by statements by politicians or engaged politicians who seem to have emerged from a patriarchal and violent culture that we all hoped was dead and buried. But that is clearly not the case.
SEPTEMBER AIR
August is ending, the air finally cools and we can see the end of summer. September has always seemed to me a melancholic month… Perhaps because it is a month that “forces” us to start again, to go towards the new (which maybe we have laboriously conquered!) but also to separate ourselves from what has been, to let go of what we know we cannot take with us.
REFLECTIONS UNDER A SUMMER TREE
Once again this year, in the midst of summer, under the pleasant and cool shade of a tree, my mind leads me to gaze and contemplate, taking the proper distance of a summer break, at the world that stands in the background and awaits us on the threshold of autumn. I have often followed the news of politics and culture in these heated hours because so many things have happened, so many words have been spoken, so many thoughts have been normalized, and there have been so many improper reactions that ignoring all this was simply not possible.
LEAVE GO
“Butterflies don’t fly, I’m not in the skin anymore I’ve lost my emotions you find them yourself? From tonight no, I don’t want to be sick. Give me two wings to fly.” (Sangiovanni, 2022)
