I consider the term difference as a word having both negative and positive meaning, it is a very vague and not defined meaning.
There are several levels of differences.
Foreigners, not Italian mother tongue,
a person who has lived more in time in Italy than in United States,
generational differences since I arrived in Italy ad 25 years old and now I am 50.
My diversity has changed.
When we go out in the street and we meet different persons
or we point out them for the countries they are from, for their cultures or religions,
we are more used to it, it does not mean we are going to meet them.
To live as different in Italy, you need to be compromised,
this is true for Italians and immigrants,
and it means that if I do not understand one thing
I need to move to understand it:
and to understand means introduce yourself, wave others,
establish something common and after that,
difference could come livable.
But few people accept to do it.
If a person would like to participate and understand,
the person is needed to go to other people,
say hello and say “I am your neighbor”,
in order to create a common link: the food, the sport, sons and daughters.
Without this step it could be a hard race for everybody.
An effort is needed to communicate and
the effort is to establish a common field with the other persons:
e lo sforzo è stabilire una cosa in comune con l'altra persona
often the field is something negative about which complain together.
Just by this, the walls could break down.
When you go to meet the others, the person is no more anomymous,
get a name and is recognized by the “ciao!”:
the life change completely.
Two things are ecessary:
to have someone choosing to move and
to have another one able not to feel followedor invaded, not forced.
The other has not to say: "What would like from me?!"
"No I do not want anything, I would like just to say you that I would like to meet you more often"
and maybe, establishing common matters.
Dalla stazione fino al lavoro non sento parlare italiano,
sento altre 5 lingue, negozi che non c'entrano niente con l'Italia
però la vedo positivamente questa cosa e va coltivata,
bisogna creare dialogo.
Cioè non bisogna restare lì e dire: "non ci sono mai andato quindi non ci andrò mai"
ma trovare una scusa per entrare,
chiedere una ricetta per qualcosa o chiedere cos'è questa roba qui,
creare dialogo perchè da cosa nasce cosa.
Da li si vede che abbiamo molto più in comune che di diverso;
ci vuole uno sforzo individuale per non sacrificare se stessi,
solamente conoscere e creare una tolleranza che sia sopportabile.
Non vuol dire che uno deve crearsi un altra identità
o riconoscersi totalmente diverso,
vuol dire cercare le similitudini le cose simili.
lo vedi tutti i giorni quando le donne italiane
vedono una bambina di un altra cultura o colore
e loro attraverso questa bambina riescono a dialogare,
riescono bene a creare una comunità .
Togliendo l'anonimato c'è un minimo obbligo di riconoscimento,
non di amicizia, però si responsabilizzano le persone.
Si sentono responsabilizzate quando vengono riconosciute positivamente..
quando appartengono
