Marek Tamm says that society is shifting from economic and tax issues to topics of values and identity. He emphasizes that values and identity are now more important.
Recently, a scandal was caused by a Father’s Day show. The show featured a family with two fathers. Some people thought this did not fit Estonian traditions. This sparked a heated debate.
Marek Tamm believes that such conflicts show that society is changing. He says that it is now more important to talk about people’s lives, their values, and identities.
He emphasizes that the value space is not fixed. It changes and is the result of different people’s opinions. No one can say what is right or wrong.
Marek Tamm thinks that society should find common goals. He says that we should talk about what unites us, not what divides us.
He stresses that we need diverse opinions. For democracy, it is essential that people can express their views. This helps society evolve.
Marek Tamm says that we should not use war-like language when discussing differences. He suggests talking about value conflicts and worldview disagreements.
He concludes by saying that the value space is always changing. We need to think about how different people can live and work together.
