I'd like to start, if I may,
0
12872
1544
Ako smijem, počeo bih
00:14
with the story of the Paisley snail.
1
14416
2724
s pričom o pužu iz Paisleya.
00:17
On the evening of the 26th of August, 1928,
2
17140
3215
Uvečer 26. kolovoza 1928.,
00:20
May Donoghue took a train from Glasgow
3
20355
2374
May Donoghue je pošla vlakom iz Glasgowa
00:22
to the town of Paisley, seven miles east of the city,
4
22729
2531
za gradić Paisley, 11 kilometara od grada,
00:25
and there at the Wellmeadow Café,
5
25260
2313
i ondje je u kafiću Wellmeadow Café,
00:27
she had a Scots ice cream float,
6
27573
3126
pojela Scots sladoledni kup,
00:30
a mix of ice cream and ginger beer
7
30699
1847
mješavinu sladoleda i piva od đumbira
00:32
bought for her by a friend.
8
32546
1955
kojom ju je častio prijatelj.
00:34
The ginger beer came in a brown, opaque bottle
9
34501
2401
Đumbirovo pivo je bilo u smeđoj, neprozirnoj boci
00:36
labeled "D. Stevenson, Glen Lane, Paisley."
10
36902
3863
s natpisom "D. Stevenson, Glen Lane, Paisley."
00:40
She drank some of the ice cream float,
11
40765
2076
Popila je nešto sladoleda,
00:42
but as the remaining ginger beer was poured
12
42841
1834
ali dok se đumbirovo pivo nalijevalo
00:44
into her tumbler,
13
44675
1396
u njezinu čašu,
00:46
a decomposed snail
14
46071
2453
poluraspadnuti puž
00:48
floated to the surface of her glass.
15
48524
2582
je isplutao na površinu čaše.
00:51
Three days later, she was admitted
16
51106
1544
Tri dana kasnije, primljena je
00:52
to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary
17
52650
1506
u bolnicu Glasgow Royal Infirmary
00:54
and diagnosed with severe gastroenteritis
18
54156
2058
s dijagnozom ozbiljnog gastroenteritisa
00:56
and shock.
19
56214
1953
i šoka.
00:58
The case of Donoghue vs. Stevenson that followed
20
58167
3268
Proces Donoghue protiv Stevensona koji je uslijedio
01:01
set a very important legal precedent:
21
61435
2645
postavio je važan pravni presedan:
01:04
Stevenson, the manufacturer of the ginger beer,
22
64080
1731
Smatralo se da je Stevenson, proizvođač đumbirovog piva,
01:05
was held to have a clear duty of care
23
65811
2777
imao jasnu obvezu dužne pažnje
01:08
towards May Donoghue,
24
68588
1448
spram May Donoghue,
01:10
even though there was no contract between them,
25
70036
2102
premda nije bilo ugovora među njima,
01:12
and, indeed, she hadn't even bought the drink.
26
72138
2817
a ona, zapravo, i nije kupila piće.
01:14
One of the judges, Lord Atkin, described it like this:
27
74955
3019
Jedan od sudaca, Lord Atkin, opisao je to ovako:
01:17
You must take care to avoid acts or omissions
28
77974
2910
Morate se pobrinuti da izbjegnete činidbe ili propuste činjenja
01:20
which you can reasonably foresee
29
80884
2068
za koje se razumno može predvidjeti
01:22
would be likely to injure your neighbor.
30
82952
3228
da postoji vjerojatnost da će naškoditi bližnjemu.
01:26
Indeed, one wonders that without a duty of care,
31
86180
2343
Zaista, možemo se zapitati koliko bi ljudi,
01:28
how many people would have had to suffer
32
88523
1746
bez dužne pažnje, moralo trpjeti
01:30
from gastroenteritis before Stevenson eventually went out of business.
33
90269
3724
od gastroenteritisa prije nego što bi Stevenson napokon morao izaći iz tog posla.
01:33
Now please hang on to that Paisley snail story,
34
93993
2381
Upamtite priču o pužu iz Paisleya,
01:36
because it's an important principle.
35
96374
3233
jer je riječ o važnom načelu.
01:39
Last year, the Hansard Society, a nonpartisan charity
36
99607
2494
Prošle godine, Hansard Society, neovisno dobrotvorno društvo
01:42
which seeks to strengthen parliamentary democracy
37
102101
1906
koje nastoji ojačati parlamentarnu demokraciju
01:44
and encourage greater public involvement in politics
38
104007
3237
i ohrabriti jače sudjelovanje javnosti u politici,
01:47
published, alongside their annual audit
39
107244
2587
objavilo je, uz svoje godišnje izvješće
01:49
of political engagement, an additional section
40
109831
2873
o političkom angažmanu, dodatak
01:52
devoted entirely to politics and the media.
41
112704
3123
posvećen u cijelosti politici i medijima.
01:55
Here are a couple of rather depressing observations
42
115827
2375
Evo nekoliko prilično depresivnih nalaza
01:58
from that survey.
43
118202
2008
iz tog istraživanja.
02:00
Tabloid newspapers do not appear
44
120210
2165
Ne izgleda da tabloidi
02:02
to advance the political citizenship of their readers,
45
122375
2833
izgrađuju politički svjesnije čitatelje,
02:05
relative even to those
46
125208
1573
čak ni u usporedbi s onima
02:06
who read no newspapers whatsoever.
47
126781
3226
koji uopće ne čitaju novine.
02:10
Tabloid-only readers are twice as likely to agree
48
130007
2992
Čitatelji koji čitaju samo tabloide dvostruko su skloniji
02:12
with a negative view of politics
49
132999
1851
gledati negativno na politiku
02:14
than readers of no newspapers.
50
134850
2575
od onih koji uopće ne čitaju novine.
02:17
They're not just less politically engaged.
51
137425
1993
Oni nisu samo manje politički angažirani.
02:19
They are consuming media that reinforces
52
139418
2448
Oni su potrošači medija koji pojačavaju
02:21
their negative evaluation of politics,
53
141866
1962
njihov negativan stav o politici
02:23
thereby contributing to a fatalistic and cynical
54
143828
3103
i time doprinose fatalističkom i ciničnom stavu
02:26
attitude to democracy and their own role within it.
55
146931
3335
prema demokraciji i njihovoj vlastitoj ulozi u njoj.
02:30
Little wonder that the report concluded that
56
150266
2160
Nije ni čudo da je izvješće zaključilo da
02:32
in this respect, the press, particularly the tabloids,
57
152426
3190
u tom pogledu tisak, naročito tabloidi,
02:35
appear not to be living up to the importance
58
155616
2339
nisu dorasli važnosti
02:37
of their role in our democracy.
59
157955
2636
njihove uloge u demokraciji.
02:40
Now I doubt if anyone in this room would seriously
60
160591
2059
Sumnjam da bi itko u ovoj prostoriji
02:42
challenge that view.
61
162650
1447
ozbiljno osporio to gledište.
02:44
But if Hansard are right, and they usually are,
62
164097
2616
Ali ako su u Hansardu u pravu, a obično jesu,
02:46
then we've got a very serious problem on our hands,
63
166713
1976
tada smo suočeni s vrlo ozbiljnim problemom,
02:48
and it's one that I'd like to spend the next 10 minutes
64
168689
2635
i na njega bih se htio usredotočiti
02:51
focusing upon.
65
171324
2029
u narednih 10 minuta.
02:53
Since the Paisley snail,
66
173353
1683
Od slučaja puža u Paisleyu,
02:55
and especially over the past decade or so,
67
175036
2464
a naročito u posljednjem desetljeću,
02:57
a great deal of thinking has been developed
68
177500
1919
mnogo se razmišljanja posvetilo
02:59
around the notion of a duty of care
69
179419
1859
pojmu dužne pažnje,
03:01
as it relates to a number of aspects of civil society.
70
181278
2539
jer se on odnosi na brojne aspekte građanskog društva.
03:03
Generally a duty of care arises when one individual
71
183817
2744
Općenito, dužna pažnja je važna kada pojedinac
03:06
or a group of individuals undertakes an activity
72
186561
2734
ili skupina poduzima aktivnost
03:09
which has the potential to cause harm to another,
73
189295
2530
koja ima potencijal naškoditi drugome,
03:11
either physically, mentally or economically.
74
191825
2714
fizički, mentalno ili ekonomski.
03:14
This is principally focused on obvious areas,
75
194539
2471
Ona je prvenstveno usmjerena na očigledna područja,
03:17
such as our empathetic response to children and young people,
76
197010
3042
kao što je naša empatična reakcija na djecu i mlade,
03:20
to our service personnel, and to the elderly and infirm.
77
200052
2726
na uslužno osoblje i na starije i slabe.
03:22
It is seldom, if ever, extended to equally important arguments
78
202778
4193
Rijetko se, ako ikada, primjenjuje na jednako važno područje
03:26
around the fragility of our present system of government,
79
206971
4250
krhkosti našeg sadašnjeg sustava upravljanja,
03:31
to the notion that honesty, accuracy and impartiality
80
211221
3509
ideju da su poštenje, točnost i nepristranost
03:34
are fundamental to the process of building
81
214730
2144
fundamentalne za proces izgradnje
03:36
and embedding an informed,
82
216874
1729
i zaokruživanja informirane,
03:38
participatory democracy.
83
218603
2757
participativne demokracije.
03:41
And the more you think about it,
84
221360
1421
Što više o tome mislite,
03:42
the stranger that is.
85
222781
1831
to izgleda čudnije.
03:44
A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure
86
224612
1462
Prije nekoliko godina, imao sam zadovoljstvo
03:46
of opening a brand new school
87
226074
1754
otvoriti posve novu školu
03:47
in the northeast of England.
88
227828
1571
na sjeveroistoku Engleske.
03:49
It had been renamed by its pupils as Academy 360.
89
229399
3539
Učenici su je nazvali Akademija 360.
03:52
As I walked through their impressive,
90
232938
1852
Dok sam prolazio kroz impresivni,
03:54
glass-covered atrium,
91
234790
1375
zastakljeni atrij škole,
03:56
in front of me, emblazoned on the wall
92
236165
1818
preda mnom, na zidu je pisalo,
03:57
in letters of fire
93
237983
1548
vatrenim slovima,
03:59
was Marcus Aurelius's famous injunction:
94
239531
3101
slavna uputa Marka Aurelija:
04:02
If it's not true, don't say it;
95
242632
2855
Ako nije istina, ne reci;
04:05
if it's not right, don't do it.
96
245487
3083
ako nije ispravno, ne čini.
04:08
The head teacher saw me staring at it,
97
248570
1988
Glavni učitelj je primijetio da zurim u to,
04:10
and he said, "Oh, that's our school motto."
98
250558
2792
i rekao, "O, to je moto naše škole."
04:13
On the train back to London,
99
253350
1727
Vraćajući se vlakom za London,
04:15
I couldn't get it out of my mind.
100
255077
1854
nisam natpis mogao izbaciti iz glave.
04:16
I kept thinking, can it really have taken us
101
256931
2559
Razmišljao sam, zar nam je zaista trebalo
04:19
over 2,000 years to come to terms
102
259490
2211
više od 2.000 godina da usvojimo
04:21
with that simple notion
103
261701
1865
tu jednostavnu ideju
04:23
as being our minimum expectation of each other?
104
263566
2952
kao minimum koji očekujemo jedni od drugih?
04:26
Isn't it time that we develop this concept
105
266518
2608
Nije li vrijeme da razvijemo koncept
04:29
of a duty of care
106
269126
1669
dužne pažnje
04:30
and extended it to include a care
107
270795
2426
i proširimo ga da obuhvati
04:33
for our shared but increasingly endangered democratic values?
108
273221
3264
i demokratske vrijednosti koje dijelimo ali su sve ugroženije?
04:36
After all, the absence of a duty of care
109
276485
1857
Napokon, pomanjkanje dužne pažnje
04:38
within many professions
110
278342
1590
u mnogim zanimanjima
04:39
can all too easily amount to accusations of negligence,
111
279932
2503
može lako dovesti do optužbi za nemar,
04:42
and that being the case, can we be really comfortable with the thought
112
282435
3107
i kada je tako, možemo li zaista spokojno prihvatiti pomisao
04:45
that we're in effect being negligent
113
285542
2301
da smo zapravo nemarni
04:47
in respect of the health of our own societies
114
287843
2791
prema zdravlju naših društava
04:50
and the values that necessarily underpin them?
115
290634
2735
i vrijednosti koje ih nužno drže na okupu?
04:53
Could anyone honestly suggest, on the evidence,
116
293369
2995
Može li itko pošteno sugerirati, na temelju dokaza,
04:56
that the same media which Hansard so roundly condemned
117
296364
3256
da su mediji koje je Hansard tako zbirno osudio
04:59
have taken sufficient care to avoid behaving
118
299620
3287
postupali s dužnom pažnjom kako bi izbjegli
05:02
in ways which they could reasonably have foreseen
119
302907
3442
sve postupke za koje su razumno mogli predvidjeti
05:06
would be likely to undermine or even damage
120
306349
2101
da će potkopati ili naškoditi
05:08
our inherently fragile democratic settlement.
121
308450
2834
našem inherentno krhkom demokratskom ustroju.
05:11
Now there will be those who will argue
122
311284
2021
Ima onih koji će tvrditi
05:13
that this could all too easily drift into a form
123
313305
1773
da se ovo lako može preokrenutiu neki oblik
05:15
of censorship, albeit self-censorship,
124
315078
2007
cenzure, možda samo-cenzure,
05:17
but I don't buy that argument.
125
317085
1956
ali ja ne prihvaćam taj argument.
05:19
It has to be possible
126
319041
2059
Mora biti moguće
05:21
to balance freedom of expression
127
321100
2100
postići ravnotežu između slobode izražavanja
05:23
with wider moral and social responsibilities.
128
323200
3207
i šire moralne i društvene odgovornosti.
05:26
Let me explain why by taking the example
129
326407
1851
Dopustite mi da objasnim na primjeru
05:28
from my own career as a filmmaker.
130
328258
2903
moje vlastite filmske karijere.
05:31
Throughout that career, I never accepted
131
331161
1807
U svojoj karijeri, nikad nisam prihvatio
05:32
that a filmmaker should set about putting
132
332968
1627
da bi filmaš ikada trebao izići
05:34
their own work outside or above what he or she
133
334595
3050
sa svojim djelom izvan ili iznad onoga što smatra
05:37
believed to be a decent set of values
134
337645
1950
pristojnim sustavom vrijednosti
05:39
for their own life, their own family,
135
339595
3349
u svom životu, za svoju obitelj,
05:42
and the future of the society in which we all live.
136
342944
3591
i za budućnost društva u kojem živi.
05:46
I'd go further.
137
346535
1324
Idem i dalje.
05:47
A responsible filmmaker should never devalue their work
138
347859
3294
Odgovorni filmski stvaralac ne treba nikada obezvrijediti svoj rad
05:51
to a point at which it becomes less than true
139
351153
2044
do mjere u kojoj taj više ne govori istinu
05:53
to the world they themselves wish to inhabit.
140
353197
3440
o svijetu u kojem bi on želio živjeti.
05:56
As I see it, filmmakers, journalists, even bloggers
141
356637
3386
Po meni, filmaši, novinari, čak i blogeri,
06:00
are all required to face up to the social expectations
142
360023
2524
moraju se uzdići do društvenih očekivanja
06:02
that come with combining the intrinsic power of their medium
143
362547
3755
koja proizlaze iz kombinacije suštinske moći njihovog medija
06:06
with their well-honed professional skills.
144
366302
3374
i njihovih profesionalnih vještina.
06:09
Obviously this is not a mandated duty,
145
369676
2887
Očigledno, to nije propisana dužnost,
06:12
but for the gifted filmmaker and the responsible journalist
146
372563
2482
ali mislim da nadareni filmaš i odgovorni novinar,
06:15
or even blogger, it strikes me as being utterly inescapable.
147
375045
3809
čak i bloger, ne mogu izbjeći postupati na takav način.
06:18
We should always remember that our notion
148
378865
2599
Ne smijemo zaboraviti da je naš pojam
06:21
of individual freedom and its partner, creative freedom,
149
381464
2891
osobne slobode i njene partnerice, kreativne slobode,
06:24
is comparatively new
150
384355
1795
relativno nov
06:26
in the history of Western ideas,
151
386150
2262
u povijesti zapadne misli,
06:28
and for that reason, it's often undervalued
152
388412
1918
i zato je često podcijenjen
06:30
and can be very quickly undermined.
153
390330
2363
i može ga se lako podrovati.
06:32
It's a prize easily lost,
154
392693
2227
Tu nagradu možemo lako izgubiti,
06:34
and once lost, once surrendered,
155
394920
1763
a kad je jednom izgubimo, predamo,
06:36
it can prove very, very hard to reclaim.
156
396683
3317
možda ćemo je vrlo, vrlo teško povratiti.
06:40
And its first line of defense
157
400000
1525
Prva linija obrane
06:41
has to be our own standards,
158
401525
2351
moraju biti naši vlastiti standardi,
06:43
not those enforced on us by a censor or legislation,
159
403876
3739
ne oni na koje nas sile cenzura ili propisi,
06:47
our own standards and our own integrity.
160
407615
1823
naši standardi i naš integritet.
06:49
Our integrity as we deal with those
161
409438
1994
Naš integritet u postupanju
06:51
with whom we work
162
411432
1548
sa svojim suradnicima
06:52
and our own standards as we operate within society.
163
412980
3625
i naši standardi kojih se držimo u društvu.
06:56
And these standards of ours
164
416605
1470
A ti standardi
06:58
need to be all of a piece with a sustainable social agenda.
165
418075
3265
moraju biti u skladu s održivim društvenim ciljevima.
07:01
They're part of a collective responsibility,
166
421340
2113
Oni su dio kolektivne odgovornosti,
07:03
the responsibility of the artist or the journalist
167
423453
2130
odgovornosti umjetnika ili novinara
07:05
to deal with the world as it really is,
168
425583
2374
u odnosu prema svijetu kakav on stvarno jest,
07:07
and this, in turn, must go hand in hand
169
427957
2449
što, također, mora biti usklađeno
07:10
with the responsibility of those governing society
170
430406
2418
s odgovornošću onih koji upravljaju društvom
07:12
to also face up to that world,
171
432824
2077
i koji će se uhvatiti u koštac s tim svijetom,
07:14
and not to be tempted to misappropriate
172
434901
2360
a ne podleći iskušenju i zloupotrijebiti
07:17
the causes of its ills.
173
437276
2577
uzroke svjetskih nevolja.
07:19
Yet, as has become strikingly clear
174
439853
2646
No, kako je postalo jasno
07:22
over the last couple of years,
175
442499
2068
u posljednjih nekoliko godina,
07:24
such responsibility has to a very great extent
176
444567
2034
velik se dio medija te odgovornosti
07:26
been abrogated by large sections of the media.
177
446601
3043
u značajnoj mjeri odrekao.
07:29
And as a consequence, across the Western world,
178
449644
1940
Posljedica je, da širom Zapadnog svijeta
07:31
the over-simplistic policies of the parties of protest
179
451584
3299
imamo pojednostavljene politike stranaka koje prosvjeduju
07:34
and their appeal to a largely disillusioned,
180
454883
2385
i privlače posvemašnje zavaranu,
07:37
older demographic,
181
457268
1389
stariju dobnu skupinu,
07:38
along with the apathy and obsession with the trivial
182
458657
2208
te imamo apatiju i zaokupljenost trivijalnostima
07:40
that typifies at least some of the young,
183
460865
1898
karakterističnu za barem dio mladih;
07:42
taken together, these and other similarly
184
462763
2058
uzete zajedno, ti i slični
07:44
contemporary aberrations
185
464821
2081
suvremeni poremećaji
07:46
are threatening to squeeze the life
186
466902
2047
prijete uništiti
07:48
out of active, informed debate and engagement,
187
468949
3574
aktivnu, informiranu debatu i angažiranost,
07:52
and I stress active.
188
472523
2527
pri čemu naglašavam - aktivnu.
07:55
The most ardent of libertarians might argue
189
475050
2277
Najzagriženiji libertini bi mogli tvrditi
07:57
that Donoghue v. Stevenson should have been thrown out of court
190
477327
2994
da je slučaj Donoghue protiv Stevensona trebao biti odbačen
08:00
and that Stevenson would eventually have gone out of business
191
480321
2118
i da bi Stevensonov posao naposlijetku propao
08:02
if he'd continued to sell ginger beer with snails in it.
192
482439
3417
da je nastavio prodavati đumbirovo pivo s plutajućim puževima.
08:05
But most of us, I think, accept some small role
193
485856
3414
Ali većina nas, mislim, prihvaća neku manju ulogu
08:09
for the state to enforce a duty of care,
194
489270
3078
države u provedbi obveze dužne pažnje,
08:12
and the key word here is reasonable.
195
492348
2672
a ključni pojam je u razumnoj mjeri.
08:15
Judges must ask, did they take reasonable care
196
495020
3580
Suci moraju pitati, je li se vodila briga u razumnoj mjeri
08:18
and could they have reasonably foreseen
197
498600
1415
i da li su se posljedice činjenja mogle predvidjeti
08:20
the consequences of their actions?
198
500015
2198
u razumnoj mjeri?
08:22
Far from signifying overbearing state power,
199
502213
2982
To ne znači preveliku moć države,
08:25
it's that small common sense test of reasonableness
200
505195
3525
već test zdravog razuma
08:28
that I'd like us to apply to those in the media
201
508720
2659
koji bih volio da primijenimo na medije
08:31
who, after all, set the tone and the content
202
511379
2271
koji, na koncu, daju i sadržaj i ton
08:33
for much of our democratic discourse.
203
513650
3317
mnogih naših demokratskih promišljanja.
08:36
Democracy, in order to work, requires that
204
516967
2720
Demokracija, da bi funkcionirala, zahtijeva da
08:39
reasonable men and women take the time to understand and debate
205
519687
2948
razumni muškarci i žene posvete vrijeme razumijevanju i raspravi
08:42
difficult, sometimes complex issues,
206
522635
2332
teških, katkada složenih pitanja,
08:44
and they do so in an atmosphere which strives
207
524967
2293
i da to čine u atmosferi koja omogućava
08:47
for the type of understanding that leads to,
208
527260
2399
onu vrstu razumijevanja koje vodi,
08:49
if not agreement, then at least a productive
209
529659
2067
ako ne slaganju, a ono barem k produktivnom
08:51
and workable compromise.
210
531726
2367
i ostvarivom kompromisu.
08:54
Politics is about choices,
211
534093
2357
U politici je riječ o izboru,
08:56
and within those choices, politics is about priorities.
212
536450
3991
a unutar izbora, riječ je o prioritetima.
09:00
It's about reconciling conflicting preferences
213
540441
2538
Treba uskladiti suprotstavljene preferencije,
09:02
wherever and whenever possibly based on fact.
214
542979
5216
kad god je moguće, na temelju činjenica.
09:08
But if the facts themselves are distorted,
215
548195
2471
Ali ako su same činjenice izobličene,
09:10
the resolutions are likely only to create further conflict,
216
550666
3723
rješenja će vjerojatno dovesti do novih sukoba,
09:14
with all the stresses and strains on society
217
554389
1887
sa svim pritiscima i napetostima u društvu
09:16
that inevitably follow.
218
556276
2216
koji tada neizostavno slijede.
09:18
The media have to decide:
219
558492
1947
Mediji moraju odlučiti:
09:20
Do they see their role as being to inflame
220
560439
3174
vide li svoju ulogu u tome da raspaljuju
09:23
or to inform?
221
563613
2330
ili da informiraju?
09:25
Because in the end, it comes down to a combination
222
565943
2862
Jer na koncu, sve se svodi na kombinaciju
09:28
of trust and leadership.
223
568805
2491
povjerenja i liderstva.
09:31
Fifty years ago this week, President John F. Kennedy
224
571296
2577
Prije pedeset godina, predsjednik John F. Kennedy
09:33
made two epoch-making speeches,
225
573873
1606
održao je dva povijesna govora,
09:35
the first on disarmament and the second on civil rights.
226
575479
3497
prvi o razoružanju, a drugi o građanskim pravima.
09:38
The first led almost immediately
227
578976
2102
Prvi je gotovo smjesta doveo do
09:41
to the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty,
228
581078
1581
Sporazuma o zabrani nuklearnih pokusa,
09:42
and the second led to the 1964 Civil Rights Act,
229
582659
3065
a drugi do Zakona o građanskim pravima iz 1964.
09:45
both of which represented giant leaps forward.
230
585724
3586
Oba su predstavljala silan napredak.
09:49
Democracy, well-led and well-informed,
231
589310
2405
Demokracija, s dobrim vodstvom i dostupnim informacijama,
09:51
can achieve very great things,
232
591715
2493
može postići velike stvari,
09:54
but there's a precondition.
233
594208
1673
ali postoji jedan preduvjet.
09:55
We have to trust that those making those decisions
234
595881
3311
Moramo vjerovati da oni koji donose odluke
09:59
are acting in the best interest not of themselves
235
599192
2467
ne djeluju u najboljem interesu sebe samih
10:01
but of the whole of the people.
236
601659
1764
već svih ljudi.
10:03
We need factually-based options,
237
603423
3079
Treba nam izbor utemeljen na činjenicama,
10:06
clearly laid out,
238
606502
1239
jasno obrazložen,
10:07
not those of a few powerful
239
607741
1398
ne izbor nekoliko moćnih
10:09
and potentially manipulative corporations
240
609139
2097
i potencijalno manipulativnih korporacija
10:11
pursuing their own frequently narrow agendas,
241
611236
2367
koji ostvaruju svoje, često uske, ciljeve,
10:13
but accurate, unprejudiced information
242
613603
2429
nego točne, objektivne informacije
10:16
with which to make our own judgments.
243
616032
2376
na temelju kojih ćemo donijeti vlastiti sud.
10:18
If we want to provide decent, fulfilling lives
244
618408
1894
Ako želimo dostojan, ispunjen život
10:20
for our children and our children's children,
245
620302
2311
za našu djecu i djecu naše djece,
10:22
we need to exercise to the very greatest degree possible
246
622613
3117
moramo u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri provoditi
10:25
that duty of care for a vibrant,
247
625730
1712
dužnu pažnju radi žive
10:27
and hopefully a lasting, democracy.
248
627442
2897
i nadam se trajne demokracije.
10:30
Thank you very much for listening to me.
249
630339
2083
Hvala što ste me saslušali.
10:32
