Zlata Grebo
Sažetak
This article is concerned with the extensive international interview on human
happiness, which was carried out by the Institute for International Social Research
in Princetown. The authoress, first of all, stresses the socio-economic changes in
our countryside and the consequences it had on the position of woman, particularly
in agriculture. Personal and general wishes of respondents could be distinguished.
They are ranked according to the frequency they appear. Far the most
of respondents (44.2%) expressed their personal wish »for happiness and education
of their children«, then for »the personal good health« (38.7%), for the improvement
of their housing conditions (28.9%), etc. On the other side most of them are
affraid of illness and death, war, unhappy family life, failure of children, low
standard of living, failure of crops and unhappy old age.
In the second part s. c. general national wishes and fears are considered.
The most rural women wish peace (31.7%) and the improvement of standard
(30.0%), while in general the most of them fear for war (77.8%) and elementary
accidents (20.5%). The authoress points out the significant differences which exists
in the attitudes between the rural and the urban women. E. g. urban women are
more interest for the improvement of standard and less for the development of
tansport facilities, etc. It is interesting that rural women favor the development
of industry more than the development agriculture. Furthermore, in a separate
scale the position of respondents according to their answers has been evaluated
and this represents in a certain sense the measure for their optimism, pesimism
or stagnation. Differences in attitudes between housewives and agriculturists are
interesting too. Generally it can be stated that the housewives are more preoccupied
by the care for family and household, while women working in the field express more wishes and fears related to the holding, production, crops. In a certain sense
it can be concluded from the results of this interview that the participation in
productive activities bring a change in attitudes and orientation.
Generally speaking, it is important to stress that differences in wishes between
the urban and the rural women are less than it has been expected. This
indicates the positive tendency of vanquishing the classical contrariety between the village and the town.
