Bill: Open Society

Details

Submitted by[?]: Telamon Social Democratic Party

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: November 2189

Description[?]:

To protect our nation from inner divisions we should discourage artificial boundaries that separate our citizens from each other. While gated communities do locally discourage crime, they increase social inequality an highten tensions between the rich and the poor. Our aim should be a society where we feel compassion and kindness towards our fellow citizens, not one where we have to hide behind walls. We can not create such a society if we allow some to separate themselves from the rest of society and protect themselves from the social divisions by hiding behind walls.

We also wish to emphasise that the concept of gated communities does not include all communities with gates (jails etc.) but refers merely to gated residential areas. "In its modern form, a gated community is a form of residential community sometimes characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences, but always containing controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles." [Wikipedia], "Main Entry: gated community Function: noun: a residential area protected by a private security force, enclosed by physical barriers, and entered through a controlled gate" [Merriam-Websters].
