Shared Responsibility of State and Citizens

The article refers to a shift in society towards extremes, commentary rather than participation, and an emphasis on image over substance. It highlights the lack of accountability and the tendency to blame others. The importance of active citizenship and the cultivation of a culture of security is emphasized, where the protection of society is a shared responsibility of the state and citizens. While the state has the primary responsibility for security, citizens cannot demand rights without taking on obligations. The viewpoint supports the need for a mature perception and behavior to address challenges and strengthen the resilience of society.
