What happened during my recent trip to train deserves some consideration, because it is illustrative of the times in which we live and the interaction model Social dominance: the arrogant, the brazen trying to impose its interests above those who come to share the same spaces.
The event has taken place on the train Frecciarossa No. 9531 which, starting from Milano Centrale, Salerno has as its final destination.
Both my son and us, we find that the most convenient train ride than drive, even if it is not always cheaper, relying on a few hours of relative calm and quiet, devoted to reading or consultation of 'last magazine purchased. Happens, however, choices and expectations that must deal with those who have decided to use the same means to reach the specified destination traveling with your pet.
Having had a dog in the family since childhood I know the type of relationship is established between animal and owner, I know how difficult its management, know the issues that arise. These are the precise duties and functional comprehension of what I'm going to tell and the resulting reflections.
I was assigned a window seat, the seat to my right is occupied by a large handbag, Louis Vuitton, black, in front of the station is intended for my son, to his right, facing me, sat a man who, judging by the guide that are consulting, is French. Since committed to reading the last publication of
Carofiglio I can not identify the person who lodged Ground container used for carrying a dog and that certainly has aroused my curiosity.
As the train left on time, leave the station and the dog is confined in the space between two seats I have no way of observing the young lady who is sitting next to me, it looks to be a chick focused on their desires that pays no attention to those who are around.
he began the first with whom the dog barks expresses its disappointment at his segregation, it soon starts barking bothering people. It is at this point that the Miss wonders whether the release of the dog may displease someone. It is precisely this fact that I express my doubt about the possibility of bringing dogs on the train and reveal my malstare because of a nagging headache, getting immediatamete an aggressive response. The girl says more disappointed than me that had to hear the barking of his dog.
decides to stand up for free him and kept on a leash walked away while I stay with my doubt thinking back to a story carried by some newspapers about the minister on a Frecciarossa poet traveling with her dog in her arms. I remember the episode had caused complaints from passengers, it is in this situation that I realize the similarity between dog and owner we are talking about here
and
here. When the inspector comes to check ticket inquires about my son's regulatory provisions for situations similar to the one in which we live. The answer is that the transport is allowed in the container and in the presence of certificate.
The next day I found on the Trenitalia site If you travel with your pet that says [...] " can deliver free small dogs, cats and other small pets, in the first and second class of all classes of trains, kept in the container no larger than 70x30x50 and that would prevent injury or damage to both cars to travelers. [...] ...] In any case no animals allowed in the coaches may occupy seats for passenger and if it annoys other passengers on the recommendation of staff of the train, you will be required to occupy more space available or the train. [. ..] .
In conclusion I reiterate the conviction that these days the respect of others is a rare commodity since the prevailing model, embodied by those who government and the media, subject to exceptions shoot, shows that there is a tendency to dominate others, the only objective is personal power and social recognition is not the dignity of others.
Other questions comes to mind:
- You must raise your voice (bark) to be considered?
- Is there a link between the cowardice of those responsible for supervising and the passivity of citizens / users?
-You must surrender to 'bitter conception of the human condition summed up by the expression Homo homini lupus?
