Incentives and target agreements sound good, but are expensive and inefficient. Sometimes a ban is simply more sensible (see ban on CFCs) and achieves a quicker effect.

Security measures taken by the state

...as long as I can trust the security apparatus and it adheres to human rights, etc. I am happy to trust Switzerland in principle. This is not the case in every country. However, it must still be possible to negotiate the extent of security and especially control measures. In my opinion, security comes more from participation in the system and mutual trust than from control.
...sofern ich dem Sicherheitsapparat vertrauen kann und dieser sich an die Menschenrechte etc. hält. Der Schweiz vertraue ich im Grundsatz gerne. Nicht in jedem Land ist dies gegeben. Allerdings muss dennoch über das Ausmass an Sicherheits- und insbesondere Kontrollmassnahmen verhandelt werden können. Sicherheit entsteht meinr Ansicht nach vielmehr durch Teilhabe am System und gegenseitigem Vertrauen als duch Kontrolle.

Comment
If the economy served its original purpose of making people happier, it probably would. But money serves happiness much less than we serve money. It became the actual goal and main yardstick. Growth as a necessity. Money carries no ethics in itself. Unfortunately, much of what glitters on one side is dirty work on the other.
Würde die Wirtschaft ihrem ursprünglichen Sinn dienen, den Menschen glücklicher zu machen, wahrscheinlich schon. Doch dient das Geld viel weniger dem Glück als wir dem Geld. Es wurde zum eigentlichen Ziel und hauptsächlichem Masstab. Wachstum als Notwenigkeit. Geld trägt keine Ethik in sich. Leider ist vieles was auf der einen Seite glitzert, auf der anderen Seite Drecksarbeit.

...or less. e.g. if the highest earner in the company earns at most 20* as much as the paid minimum wage, without bonuses. This way, the low wage earner would also profit from the earned profit and the differences would remain smaller.
...oder weniger entstehen lässt. z.B. wenn der Meistverdienende im Unternehmen höchstens 20* soviel verdient wie der ausgezahlte Mindestlohn, ohne Boni. Vom erarbeiteten Gewinn würde somit auch der Wenigverdienende profitiren und die Unterschiede blieben kleiner.

Comment
In order to experience and build stable relationships, as well as to grow up within the family instead of being cared for mostly by others, a high level of presence time of the parents or one parent is certainly important. However, this does not presuppose being at home full-time, nor that this is guaranteed by one of the two parents.
Um stabile Beziehungen zu erleben und aufzubauen, sowie für ein Aufwachsen innerhalb der Familie anstatt mehrheitlich fremdbetreut, ist eine hohe Präsenzzeit der Eltern bzw. eines Elternteils sicherlich wichtig. Dies setzt jedoch nicht voraus Vollzeit zu Hause zu sein, noch dass dies von einem der beiden Elternteile gewährleistet wird.

hm, questionable. If we learn to deal with digitization in a healthy way at the same pace - yes, definitely. However, I'm seeing the latter lagging behind. Who is in control of whom? Is it possible to catch up?

Comment
Both are part of it. Who does the punishment serve? Perhaps for the victim, but much less for the perpetrator. He is much more likely to resist than to be led to rethink. This means that he remains a potential perpetrator, which will lead to further victims and costs. victims and costs. Punishment as a deterrent? Maybe in petty crime, but not on a large scale.
Beides gehört dazu. Wem dient die Bestrafung? Dem Opfer vielleicht, dem Täter deutlich weniger. Er geht viel eher in den Widerstand als dass er zu einem Umdenken geführt wird. Heisst, dass er weiterhin potentieller Täter bleibt und dadurch potetiell auch zu weiteren Opfern und Kosten führen wird. Die Strafe zur Abschreckung? Vlt in der Kleinkriminalität, im Grossen whs. nicht der Fall.

Comment
With sufficient support from the teacher, I see integration as a great opportunity for children with slight disabilities as well as for children who "conform to the norm", since this very norm is broadened. However, in a special institution, the needs of children with pronounced disabilities can often be better addressed and the unattainable but nevertheless noticeable pressure to perform in the regular school is eliminated. Teachers often report to me a great burden with limited possibilities to meet the needs of the children.
Bei genügend Unterstützung der Lehrperson sehe ich die Integration als grosse Chance für Kinder mit leichten Einschränkungen wie auch für Kinder, welche "der Norm" entsprechen, da ebendiese geweitet wird. Allerdings kann in einer Sondereinrichtung oft besser auf die Bedürfnisse von Kinder mit ausgeprägten Einschränkungen eingegangen werden und der nicht erreichbare aber dennoch spührbare Leistungsdruck der Regelschule fällt weg. Lehrpersonen berichten mir oft grosse Belastung mit begrenzten Mögl
