Review of Ana Brnabić's theory of racism: What does "chaci" actually mean?

You can't name your nephew on Monday and be proud of it, and on Friday declare the same name racist, which is what Ana Brnabić did on N1 television in a debate with Mirjana Nikolić. One of those two statements is untrue, and neither of them was written by us

Big question

Psychopathology of society

Being with the wrong people: Actively losing the self

As we sit alone, we are in a state of potential closeness. As we sit in the "wrong" society, we are in a state of active self-loss. In a world of perverted values, where intimacy is often turned into a commodity, retreating into a small circle is a survival strategy

Stifling Pride: How Parental Vanity Turns Children into Projects

In the era of social networks and obsession with achievement, parental pride increasingly crosses an invisible line and becomes a pressure under which the child loses the right to make mistakes, ordinariness and own identity. Behind the brilliant successes there is often a quiet generation that has learned to be a trophy, but not to be themselves

Psychology

The world's pain of an individual

Today, mental health is most often presented as a personal problem that needs to be "fixed", but the question of why suffering has become an almost universal condition is persistently avoided. It is precisely in this avoidance that the key problem is hidden

Unbearable ease of choice: Paralyzing multitude

While society celebrates a multitude of choices as the pinnacle of freedom, the reality is different. We are witnessing a generation Z that is paralyzed by its own privileges, trapped in eternal self-questioning, unable to move in any direction because every direction looks both tempting and terrifying at the same time.

Shutting down the most famous music television

Did MTV die, or did we die

Personal attitude

When trust breaks, so does the person

"Distrust in institutions" sounds like a phrase, but in fact it is a scourge. What happens in our psyche when we can no longer believe that the police protect us and the law, that doctors treat us according to conscience or that the state functions
