In July and August, the heat is on full swing, coinciding with the official break from school and work routines in some cases. During the summer, children, young people and parents take the opportunity to have access to options for recreation and renewal of energies, after several months devoted to classrooms and workplaces.
During this period, marked by a very complex economic scenario, there is an insistence on promoting a range of activities that surpasses the previous stage.
The interest of a healthy recreational promotion is based on concepts of a creative intelligence, starting from the potentialities in the communities with the advice of specialists from different sectors, from whom collective solutions are needed.
However, the noble intentions for the summer months are sometimes tarnished by the variety of disorders, even much more harmful and that puts the social thermometer in red.
Hence, what should be a fun, cheerful, healthy space, is sometimes contaminated by that kind of fever that has among its manifest symptoms the outburst of mood, contempt for order and disregard for civility.
The reality where the metamorphosis of diversion into distortion and freedom into debauchery, leading to certain indiscipline, is most noticeable is evident.
There are some vacationers who have no restraint when it comes to indulging in obscene and scandalous conversations that compete with the recreation of the place.
There are others who, after taking a dip in the local bathing areas, go out with their half-naked bodies in central areas of certain towns.
Not excluded are those who fanatically like music and dancing and after satisfying their pleasure, they unload in the early morning and with abandon, to disturb the tranquility and sleep of the neighborhood.
And what to say about some vendors and resellers of drinks, food or other resources, who take advantage of the high demand and increase the prices of their offers to the unbelievable. Social indiscipline has many other faces during the summer season.
Let’s hope that in the rest of August there will be a pronouncement to banish the manifestations of ignorance and idleness so as not to promote misfortunes that tarnish its normal course.
For the time being, may the pleasurable enjoyment of the “summer mood” stage be everyone’s responsibility, nurturing individual awareness and attitude, the commitment to know how to share and behave in society.
