Portugal now

Following my last few posts, I would like now to answer the following question: what happens to a Cath society if, over the course of several years, it decides to import the main cultural features of a Prot society?

Among other things, this means for the Cath society,

1. To replace its personalistic, corporative system of economic organization by impersonal market liberalism;
2. To replace its highly developed spirit of group by an atomistic, lonely individualism;
3. To replace its utmost care with words and thoughts by absolute freedom of expression;
4. To replace its visible elites by no visible elites at all;
5. To replace its view of man as being unique in his personality by a view of man as being the same as any other man;
6. To replace its concrete way of thinking, which pays attention to details, by an abstract way of thinking, where details do not matter at all;
7. To replace its homogenous orthodoxy of thought by competitive orthodoxies;
8. To replace its tolerance with regard to small sins and small violations of the law by strict enforcement of the law by the police.

The answer is ( following the same order):
1. Economic insecurity;
2. Loneliness;
3. Aggressiveness;
4. Disorientation;
5. Depersonalization;
6. Massification;
7. Conflictuality;
8. Fear.
