More about Italy modern history
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our previous post, Italy
and the modern migration; where we were talking about the history of this
southern part of Italy and the many times this part of Italy has seen wars.
Now, not everything that we are going to talk about in this post belongs
strictly to this region of southern Italy, no, dear readers what we are going
to talk about here is a worldwide problem, but above all I would like to tell
my own country people what I see coming, in the hope that they would be able to
see the other side of the story, you see from down under here in Australia we
might be able to see things that are not very obvious to those that live in
southern Italy, and also those people that by their actions cause history to be
written, after all these people are forced by circumstances to run away from
their native countries, but the question here remains; could this running away
be prevented by doing other things one needs to ask?
The idea of writing this article, is that we were writing about the past
history of this regions of southern Italy, because I come from this region, and
therefore there are lots of times that I go back to talk about it, but today we
are going to talk about what the future could hold for this region, because
there are some historic things happening presently.
I believe that there is a link between the past the present and the
future, so, let me explain the link that already exists here; as you all know I
have been writing my life story in Hub Pages and also some of the history of my
native town of Genzano di Lucania; and then, recently we have written about the
history of the castle of Monteserico, so we have looked at some of the good
things but also the bad things that have happened around this castle and also
about Genzano town. Now having seen what has happened in the past, our minds
looks at the present times and tries to forecast the future, we know that our
human history keeps going on indefinitely, so, we wonder what the future holds
for us; here I have to say that there are a few negative signs for the future
of this region, which we will be trying to explain as we keep on writing this
article.
Anyhow, at this very moment, I am asking myself whether this is the right
thing to say; because people say that it would be better not to say anything,
unless you can say nice things to the public, but what about saying things that
might help prevent some catastrophic event in the future, because we see this
danger that could be coming, but people of this region do not seem to see it
and they completely ignore it. I know that by saying this I might be called
many nasty names for starting this unpleasant conversation, but so what, I
believe that I would not do the duty of a good citizen if I don’t speak out.
So, what are you going to talk about you would ask and why it seems to
you that you have to speak out and for what reason?
To understand what I am going to say next, it is necessary to know a bit
more about this region of Southern Italy and the inhabitant that have lived and
are living there. You see this region is not rich, the only thing that it is
going on there is farming; there are a lot of small farms that would be able to
sustain the native inhabitant only. We have also to say that there are times when
these small farms do not produce enough and people leave the farms and go to
work somewhere else, if and when they are able to find another job. You see
this is the main reason why I left our small family farm in southern Italy and
migrated to Australia.
We know that a few things might have changed since I left Italy, but if
they have changed it is not a great deal, as there are no industries of any
sort beside farming, so the way of life over there is very much the same as it was
in the fifties or there about. What I want to point out here with this article
is that this region of southern Italy could not support any outside people that
would like to come here and that is the worry that comes to my mind, so let me
explain what I mean, because I think that this is a real problem for this
region of Italy. But as we have said already this would also apply to several
other regions in the world, so whatever warnings that this article may suggest
they are also warnings for the rest of the word and above all the western
world.
I know that we in the western world, in the last fifty years or so, we
have been able to improve a lot the standard of living; but at the same time,
one has to ask; will we be able to help those people that are migrating to the
west without upsetting our improved standard of living? You see, this is the
main problem in the world today, and this is also the Italian problem. So, let
us talk over once more about this problem.
If you have paid attention to the news, you must have noted that there
are many illegal migrants in the world today; they are illegal migrant because
they forcefully go everywhere even when they are not wanted at all; here I am
afraid that I have to say that when they do this forceful migrating they could
easily upset the way of life of the people that are forced to receive them
against their will; but let us see what could be the causes of this migration,
and then extend our search to what could be the outcome of this forceful
emigrants that come in unwanted, because I am worried that something might
happen in southern Italy soon.
The causes of migrating in search of a better life are many, but above
all it is poverty, sometimes poverty is so bad that people could even starve to
death, now that is really when people are very poor and they are forced to find
a way how they would be able to feed themselves; here the rest of the world
that are better off should really try to help them and there is no question
about it.
But on the other hand there are people that are not that poor and they
want more because they are greedy, they may start to believe that the rest of
the world is better off than they are and therefore they want to grab whatever
the others have, and this seems to be the main problem that the entire world is
facing today; it is a real problem because these people are not really
starving.
Anyhow, here in this post we want to talk about the Italian problem,
mainly because I am an Italian that has emigrated from southern Italy, a long
time ago, and therefore, in this article I would like to talk about Italy and
my native town and the surrounding towns and countryside. So we would like to
start thinking and imagining what could be like in the future to live in
southern Italy, in these towns with all these new migrant coming in.
It seems to me that this post is becoming too long, for today average
readers, since they seem to have no time and want to read only short articles.
So we will continue to write about this issue, in our next post, the emigrant
problem. See you soon.
