Mr.

The big society

Is this is a real, humanistic, non-profitable national agenda, or just another secret, completely opposite and crucial manifest towards people's hopes, wealth and trust.

In the actual D. Cameron words, the idea of "The Big Society" aim is to give more power to people of the country. The conservative coalition with their leader as the head want to create a society to do more for their own future. Form local communities who would have the power in decision making after the mutual voting which would reflect on the final outcome. They also want people to embrace volunteering, charity and community projects in public sectors. As well as this they want to engage young people to break family patterns for more equal society and create mass engagement of new generation which would give the genesis for a pro-active society. It aims to generate more community organisers, neighbourhood groups, social enterprises and co-operatives: the idea is that all of these will take more action at a local level, with more freedom to do things the way they want.

The positive aspects in this great sounding concept is, that everything would evolve naturally, slowly but efficiently and considerably beneficently to the nation's wealth and bright future. Professionals in different occupations would help to fulfil, guessing, the tutoring places and create a non-profitable volunteering scheme. This would provide a wide range of help, training, common knowledge and even a qualifications to those who are unemployed and desperate for new future perspectives.

Also the prime minister planning to encourage parents to help run the schools, youth centres and this might help children's to get better education and interest in gaining any practical knowledge or qualification. In fact parents would have much better knowledge about their children attendances and interests in particular subjects. That would form a mutual network in education and help to learn better approaches to work, study and the running their local affairs.

People probably for the first time, are seriously considered to be given a real chance to find what is the best for them and to work out how to fix any problems they have and realize their dreams. Should be emphasized that physical and mental well-being improves when people feel that they have control over what is happening to them and can take action on their own behalf. All this is new for the country and it requires the strong commitment and consciousness to get together and make huge reforms. All these lessons and help would be provided from the country's existing activists, volunteers and everyone who is likely to get involved in any way.

The 'Big Society' government is also trying to help to cut the size of the public deficit. Getting people to take more responsibility and to do more to help themselves and their neighbours is an alternative to the state institutions and public services.

The understanding and accepting of this big agenda is really depends on how government will provide the financial, moral, practical and theoretical support to the nation's taxpayers and the citizens.

Questions like, 'are we all up to the challenge' and 'can everyone participate' arise after Cameron's announcement of his proposal, because great number of the voters still doubt, how they will cope with the everyday's business at work and at the same time trying to help others to get the best solution in solving the life issues, caused by the helping and caring about people the recent government.

For example the poorest residents probably cannot and do not want to participate in this project for free. Moreover many of those who are currently poorest and least powerful are at risk of being systematically excluded from any benefits that arise, in spite of the Prime Minister's declared intention that no-one should be 'left behind'. In addition, there is a great opportunity for an entrepreneur to get the best from this empowerment. Also there is nothing in the government's plans to encourage the inclusion of outsiders.

The most important aspect is the precious time in everyone's life. And at this very stage, everything depends crucially on people having enough time to engage in local action. People working a minimum 40 h. per week, paying taxes and having low-paid jobs and big family responsibilities, especially lone parents, tend to have no time as well as enough money to do any of the altruism mentioned above. Committing time to unpaid local activity would put many at risk of losing benefits that depend on actively seeking full-time employment. The part-time workers usually need their free time for the studies, babies or other reasonable issues.

Furthermore the only people who could spare this valuable time and provide the help are unemployed people who are not caring for children or elderly relatives and pensioners may have plenty of free time, but of course unemployment traps people in poverty. A 2007 survey
