Me who have not yet reached “us”!

Mehr News Agency- Provinces Group, Vahid Yousefi: The recent game of Tractor and Persepolis Reds and Persepolis, more than a football competition, depicted a curtain of the psychological and social aspects of Iranian society. The game was not only a battlefield of two sports teams, but also a mirror to represent deeper social tensions in the country.

One of the highlights of this story was the strong fanaticism of the fans; A fobbing that has become more than a simple love for a sports team has become a way of individual identity. It is as if every fan see himself not as an independent person, but as part of his team's identity. This intense confidence with the football teams, a reflection of Vacuums It is an identity seen in many people in the community.

In a deeper layer, we can point to the sense of sacrifice that is unconsciously wave. This feeling causes the slightest behavior, whether judgmental decisions or slogans of the other party, as a threat to the existence of the individual or group.

In such an environment, being a victim leads to the reproduction of anger and violence, and this anger is more severely conveyed to others. The result is a defective cycle of identity confrontations that can have irreparable consequences for the future of society.

The margins also indicate the social change in Iran: the emergence of individuality. People are gradually learning to see themselves and pay attention to their personal needs. But this emerging individuality has not yet reached the evolution; Instead of helping one's growth and strengthening, it sometimes develops in the form of defensive and aggressive individualism. A person who has just seen and defined himself cannot tolerate the presence of a “other” and sees others as a threat to protecting his identity.

The result is that society is not in the way of dialogue and interaction, but on a stressful way of self-transcendence and identity confrontations. Tractor and Persepolis game is just an example of this fact. If society fails to cross this destructive cycle and, instead of confrontation, understanding and coexistence, this anger and sense of sacrifice can become a threat.

These games are not only about football; Rather, it is a story of the hidden battles of identity and social that shape our society. Is it not time to come from “I” I see Crossing and thinking about becoming “us”?

The fourteenth government has begun with the slogan of national consensus; The slogan that, in the current situation of the country, reflects the urgent need of society for solidarity and interaction. But what is in practice is a gap between this slogan and social realities. It seems that the consensus has not yet become a serious and inclusive discourse even among the elites of society.

In a society where numerous conflicts and social divisions are expanding, achieving national consensus requires more than one slogan. This concept, without deepening the relationship between “I” . The scattered society and the creation of a real dialogue cannot be realized.

Carnival as a model for coexistence

Carnival Mikhail's Cultural Theory Bakhtin It can be a conceptual model for analyzing and improving this. In a carnival, the principle is the acceptance of diversity. Carnival is a place in which everyone is happy despite the differences. This happiness does not necessarily mean being identical or similar. Anyone can dance and be happy in their style, but what units everyone is the common goal of being happy.

Perhaps stadiums, as a symbol of multinational communities, can become real carnivals; Where people, regardless of prejudice and a sense of sacrifice, can experience competition together. This carnival can not only be a space for pleasure and joy, but an opportunity to accept diversity and formation of unity.

What is seen on the sidelines of the big football games is beyond the simple fight for the two teams. High prejudice to a particular team or hatred of the opposite team, something deeper than sports competition; These are a reflection of identity and social crises. Individuals, in the absence of a strong individual or collective identity, take refuge in other teams or groups and take identity from them. This prejudice, when combined with a sense of sacrifice, leads to anger and violence that prevents healthy dialogue and interaction.

Carnival Bakhtin It reminds us that we do not need to be alike in order to build a common chapter among humans. We can achieve a common goal, such as happiness or mutual respect. If our society can use this model, stadiums, cities, and even ethnic relationships can become spaces for coexistence and interaction.

Football margins are the only reflection of a bigger challenge: crossing “I” . Scattered and hostile to 'us' O Collective and sympathetic. This is possible not by eliminating differences, but by accepting and respecting them. Instead of trying to unify all the sounds, one must create a space for hearing any sound, without fear of rejection or hatred.

It may be time to look for common points instead of defending ourselves against another. Can our society someday become a great carnival, where everyone plays himself, but ultimately everyone dances for a common goal? This is a question that the answer can change our future.
