If there is a word that recurs like a leitmotif in conversations and writings of the Tunisian is surely the word debate. Whatever the level, or level official, the word debate continues to be pronounced as to translate the desire of Tunisia to talk, speak, listen, persuade, convince themselves ... The intention is noble and laudable. However, one can not help but wonder if the Tunisian is really ready to discuss.
For there to be debate there must have divergence of opinions, ideas antagonism, difference in the way of seeing things ... because the one thing that the debate abhors is probably unanimous, agreement ... If we agree on everything and for everything from the start, then the debate is meaningless and probably look like a friendly meeting.
Tunisian society is composed of leftist fundamentalists, of rcdistes, anarchists, progressives, the diehards of khobsistes of mauvistes of 7itistes of club members, of Esperanto, or even ... 'autistic (and if you want my real opinion Tunisians belong more to the latter category as above). In this, the Tunisian no different to other companies they are Western or Eastern. However, unlike the citizens of the latter, Tunisia stands out for its singular conception of the debate. For Tunisia, the debate is much closer to litigation, even a conflict as an arena or confront the ideas and projects. The Tunisian court forum and confused. Instead only the good sense and reason are the only criterion for separating the wheat from the chaff, in order to have a debate instead Tunisian need the presence of an arbitrator.
Although truth is multiple and relative The Tunisian has this annoying behavior to take its truth for "truth", thus condemning the debate to lose any purpose or in the best cases, to look like a dialogue of the deaf. What can we reap from such a stigma to build more walls to separate us from each other and we hole up in ghettos or can not mix with his ideological kin? It is true that in the local tradition to argue with anyone who does not grasp the scope of a discourse is a waste of time. But that's how we're going to move forward? I do not think. We
other Tunisians, we have much to learn and especially to respect each other. To debate must not only have ideas, we must also have courage, especially the ability to listen. Otherwise we would not be out of the woods yet.
