"LIVING TOGETHER" IN A SOCIETY, THE CASE OF TUNISIA
Living together in today's Tunisia means defending freedom as a fundamental value and principle of the Republic. Secularism is based on the principles of freedom of conscience and equality between human beings; it allows everyone, believers or not, to live in society while respecting differences in terms of culture, sexuality and societal. We believe that it is unlikely that such a requirement can be satisfied can be satisfied by simple conviction. pure belief. It must be enshrined in the national constitution and laws to combat the inevitable corporatism, religious communitarianism and commercial clientelism that could divide the population into opposing legal factions and advance the dominant ideology. That being said, the stakes are not only political but also social and economic. The red-skinned population of big cities need real choices. It is unlikely that the country will regain stability and prosperity, even in the medium term, if the current economic policies are not revised as soon as possible to find a balance between social and economic concerns and to facilitate the integration of young people into the labor market. For Tunisian officials, the task is formidable: to know how to impose the codes of civility as the only authoritative principles, without appearing to endorse the models that privilege force as a value of use and exchange in interactions. Tunisian society has chosen its own ways of doing things with regard to the fulfillment of this task. One, attached to the principles of Islam, structures living together from the family model. The other, oriented according to secular criteria, gives a central place to education by acquiring the conditions of a "common humanity. Learning to live together for Tunisians requires an important moral distancing work. This requires considering vulnerability as a resource that would not only make it possible to rise above the instrumental constraints specific to everyday life, without losing sight of how much the major issues (emotional, social, professional, relational) depend on it.
