This episode can be described as a delve into individual responsibility and the role of the individual within a social and political context. "In a situation of widespread anxiety, insecurity, and chaos, how can one define one's position so clearly and remain in one's ego?"
The sociodramatist takes the existing reality, where it swallows up the younger generations and where "many people are getting lost", seriously, along with the acknowledgment that "there have never been ideal conditions for learning and finding one's place". The conclusion drawn is that individual responsibility is a "personal battle."
F.=Facilitator, P.=Participant
P. 3: In a situation that is forming - especially for the younger generations, not excluding the middle generations due to retirement - of widespread anxiety, insecurity, and a chaotic conditions, as I feel it - unless it's just something of my own, but on the other hand I receive the same - how can one define their position so distinctly and maintain their sense of self?
P. 2: It's a personal battle. There is also a reality. A large part of the people is lost.
P. 3: Exactly.
P. 2 : Exactly because they don't know their position. Maybe they were not taught, they couldn't find it on their own, which results in them getting lost. It's a reality.
P. 3: Are the conditions not decisive, though? And indeed, very powerful?
P. 2: Conditions have never been or will be ideal, though, will they? They may be better, but they are not ideal. There isn’t a society where conditions are ideal in order finding oneself. It may be the case in some historical periods and for some groups of people, but this doesn't always apply everywhere, and thus we don't know if it will be so tomorrow. Because it's related to the human element, which is unstable. Do you understand?
