Reflecting on the previous two meetings where were defining our present everyday experiences in order to be able to form a feeling permeating the whole society, this time we were looking at certain problems from the perspectives of people from different backgrounds: what feelings can arise in an intellectual living on the countryside or in the capital, how can a homeless or someone living in a Roma settlement feel about the same issue. By the end of the task, we all tried to define our feelings again. Some of us didn’t feel the problems to be so serious and unsolveable as they had seemed earlier. It is also interesting that many of us felt the problems of groups staying further from us financially and physically to be closer than those of people from backgrounds that are similar to ours. The question arose: what does it mean to be (socially) disadvantaged? Can we consider a small town intellecual disadvanteged since possibilities to break out and change are limited?
