-- I tell you about Albania (http://www.forumihorizont.com/showthread.php3?threadid=17563)

Ok guys.

Definitely you are right, Albania is not only bad things. Nice things should be shown too. I'll put some other videos later. They will show some picturesque fotos of places in Albania. But I invite you from now to make the difference between those videos and the real documentaries which are already in this thread. And probably wonder ourselves if albanians' pride can rely on something that nature gave them, not they constructed.

On my research for documentaries I couldn't find any talking about progress in Albania. In today's newspapers we find mostly foreign journalists traumatized: from the street traffic, from people selling their children, from sworn virgins, from blood feuds, etc. On the first documentary you could see a crowd of tourists looking to a cow eating trash in the street. This is Albania to the eyes of foreigners. And albanians should see with their eyes to understand how far from civilization they are.

Albanians students studying abroad mean nothing. There are three simple reasons for that:

First, Albania doesn't offer a normal enviroment so these professionals can go back and help building Albania. There can be even some jealousy from those living in Albania, which doesn't like students from abroad come back and take good positions in the job market (normal logic). The truth is that Albania doesn't even want emigrants to vote. Last time one of my friends said "can you imagine if emigrants could vote, can you imagine what a mess would become Albania, even more of jpw is already messed up?".

Second, professionals are simply not appreciated in Albania. One of the theorists of the Venus Project (see Zeitgeist movie) dissociate between politicians and professionals and posits that politicians shouldn't exist at all. They know to do nothing. They just want to manage countries and get power on their hands. Back to Albania, you can understand how this is true. Albania is a mass of people going after politics and politicians. People like Ilir Meta know nothing on any specific field and govern whatever ministry they want. These people use the power to help their side of oligarchy and have more power in the future. It's just a matter of power. A student educated abroad is a professional which simply is NOT appreciated in Albania. The only way Albania appreciate you is by entering politics (like Gerti Bogdani). And professionally speaking Albania offers... nothing. No big university, just corrupt professors, no big company to get some experience, no scientific research, nothing that albanians can create alone, without help from abroad.

Third, having albanian students going abroad to study shouldn't be of any pride, because demonstrates that Albania doesn't even offer good education.

------------------------
After all, we should start to think if our culture has basically failed. And the word "culture" really says it all: the mentality that rules Albania today and constrain honest people to leave the country. Because the logic is simple like that, if honest people is forced to leave and the state is governed by an oligarchy raised on corruption, personal power, and disrespect, how can you even think that Albania can get (or is getting) better. The truth is that nearly all institutions have failed. Education is poor and often based on corruption. The police is there to respect the oligarchy and to find small thieves and unprotected normal people. Whoever wins the elections becomes untouchable, the laws become relative and his side of oligarchy will start to proliferate. The business of opposing side will be fought, etc. Normal people is ignorant (and maschilist), and they have to make justice on their own. The oligarchy is trying hard to keep them ignorant. Religions, on the other side, are trying to exploit their ignorance and get more fans.

This is Albania my friends, you can see it every day on the news... if you are able to read through the corrupted albanian news, which continue to work exactly like in the communist era, telling part of the truth, going after politics and only barely touching the real need for change in Albania.
