The open society are unpatriarchy.
What characterizes the culture in Sweden is an
approach that leads to what can be called "moral realism". This means
that some values are good and others
are bad in themselves objectively. But it is preferable to relativism, where
people are grouped into a hierarchy of oppressed and oppressors.
Some value systems are better than others for the
well-being of a society.
Sweden's population appears to be secular, rational
and self-fulfilling.
The Swede wants to be tolerant and inclusive when it comes
to other cultures (self-realization), which means an extreme opposition to the
secular and rational values. A common value system is necessary for a society's
long-term prosperity and cohesion.
It can be said that the values of
liberal democracy, which include the principle of equal rights regardless of
gender, skin color, sexual orientation, freedom of thought and expression,
etc., are the best "recipe for values", which when implemented in a
society leads to a maximizing well-being.
Vison;
Male guardianship of the women in the family is not on
the map! Chastity culture and the ideal of innocence are history in the value
system and are not tolerated! Here are just the same rights and obligations for
all individuals in society, all with the same legal standard regardless of
culture, religious or ethnic background; we have buried all identity politics
and completely freed ourselves from collectivist group thinking based on
identity. The focus is on individual and individual rights, not the rights of groups.
Freedom of religion has been incorporated into the provisions on freedom of
opinion and expression.
The elimination of patriarchy can allow men to be a
little bit like women too! (The COVID19 pandemic is demonstrating what we all know: millennia of
patriarchy have resulted in a male-dominated world with a male-dominated
culture which damages everyone –)
Changing the moral values of
individuals, which are important both for the well-being of society and for its
cohesion and survival, is the goal.
- "We have our way and the Swedes have
theirs"? A divided society divided into us and them is a society with low
trust and little willingness to cooperate and becomes even more problematic in
a welfare society where people are expected to contribute to the benefit of
other members of society.
It is important to have a vision and a goal to
gradually move people's attitudes and values towards
the Swedish attitude with secular, rational values and
towards self-realization.
Ethnic backgrounds do not need to be addressed, but
the differences in culture, values and
ideas, which can be linked to and from, we can address!
- The open society is based on the equality and
freedom of individuals but at the same time maintains a set of values that are
considered to be right and that constitute society's moral foundation. People
in the open society are involved in dialogue with those who adopt opposing
values and try to
criticize or change their positions or perhaps sometimes change their own
positions.
Yet open society is not a morally relativistic or
morally neutral society. Here, everyone is encouraged to adopt a set of
fundamental values that some would call humanist or liberal democratic values.
