Po prvi put u istoriji, većina američkih roditelja ne misli da će njihovoj deci biti bolje nego što je bilo njima. Ovo ne bi trebalo da bude razlog za uzbunu, kaže novinarka Kortni Martin. Umesto toga, to je prilika da se definiše novi pristup radu i porodici koji naglašava zajednicu i kreativnost. „Najveća opasnost nije neuspeh da se ostvari američki san“, kaže ona u govoru koji će imati odjeka daleko izvan SAD-a. „Najveća opasnost je ostvarivanje sna u koji ne verujete istinski.“

Ja sam novinarka,
tako da volim da tragam
za neispričanim pričama,
za neispričanim pričama,
00:14
so I like to look for the untold stories,
1

the lives that quietly play out
under the scream of headlines.

I've also been going about the business

Takođe sam krenula

choosing a partner, making babies.

biranja partnera, pravljenja beba.
00:27
So for the last few years,
5
15206
2231
Stoga sam poslednjih nekoliko godina
00:29
I've been trying to understand
6
17461
1463
pokušavala da razumem
00:30
what constitutes
the 21st-century good life,
the 21st-century good life,
7
18948

šta čini dobar život u 21. veku,
ujedno zato što me fasciniraju
moralne i filozofske implikacije,

00:35
both because I'm fascinated by the moral
and philosophical implications,

but also because I'm in desperate
need of answers myself.

ali i zato što su i meni samoj
očajnički potrebni odgovori.

00:43
We live in tenuous times.
10
31641
2292
Živimo u nestabilno vreme.
00:46
In fact, for the first time
in American history,
in American history,
11
34402
3185
Zapravo, prvi put u američkoj istoriji,
00:49
the majority of parents do not think
that their kids will be better off
that their kids will be better off
12
37611
4120
većina roditelja ne misli
da će njihovoj deci biti bolje
da će njihovoj deci biti bolje
00:53
than they were.
13
41755
1432
nego što je bilo njima.
00:55
This is true of rich and poor,
men and women.
men and women.
14
43211
3278
To važi za bogate i siromašne,
muškarce i žene.
muškarce i žene.
00:59
Now, some of you
might hear this and feel sad.
might hear this and feel sad.

Neki od vas možda čuju to
i osećaju se tužno.
i osećaju se tužno.
01:01
After all, America is deeply invested
16
49589
2992
Na kraju krajeva, Amerika duboko ulaže
01:04
in this idea of economic transcendence,
17
52605
2879
u tu ideju ekonomskog prevazilaženja,
01:07
that every generation kind of
leapfrogs the one before it,
leapfrogs the one before it,
18
55508
3560
da svaka generacija pravi veliki skok
u odnosu na onu prethodnu,
u odnosu na onu prethodnu,
01:11
earning more, buying more, being more.
19
59092

da više zarađuje, više kupuje,
da postaje nešto više.
da postaje nešto više.
Izvezli smo ovaj san po celom svetu,
01:15
We've exported this dream
all over the world,
all over the world,
20
63299
2158
tako da deca u Brazilu,
Kini, pa čak i u Keniji
Kini, pa čak i u Keniji
01:17
so kids in Brazil and China and even Kenya
21
65481
2909
01:20
inherit our insatiable expectation
22
68414
2369
nasleđuju naša nezasita očekivanja
da stičemo više.
01:23
for more.

Međutim, kada sam prvi put
pročitala ovo istorijsko istraživanje,
pročitala ovo istorijsko istraživanje,
01:25
But when I read this historic poll
for the first time,
for the first time,
24
73063
3057
01:28
it didn't actually make me feel sad.
25
76144
1973
nije me zapravo rastužilo.
Učinilo se kao provokacija.
01:30
It felt like a provocation.
26

01:33
"Better off" -- based on whose standards?
27
81181
2833
„Bolje“ na osnovu čijih standarda?
01:37
Is "better off" finding a secure job
28
85030
2083
Da li je „bolje“ pronaći siguran posao
01:39
that you can count on
for the rest of your life?

29
87137
2491
na koji možete da računate
do kraja života?

Takvi su skoro sasvim nestali.

Those are nearly extinct.

Ljudi menjaju poslove
u proseku na svakih 4,7 godina,

People move jobs, on average,
every 4.7 years,

31
91788
3997
01:47
and it's estimated that by 2020,

1961
a procenjuje se da će do 2020. godine
skoro polovina Amerikanaca
imati honorarne poslove.

01:49
nearly half of Americans
will be freelancers.
will be freelancers.
33
97794
2856
01:53
OK, so is better off just a number?
34
101523
2951
Dobro, da li je „bolje“ samo broj?
01:56
Is it about earning
as much as you possibly can?
as much as you possibly can?
35
104498
2967
Da li se tu radi samo o zarađivanju
koliko god je više moguće?

02:00
By that singular measurement,
we are failing.
we are failing.
36

Prema toj jedinstvenoj meri, propadamo.

Median per capita income

All right, so is better off getting
a big house with a white picket fence?

39
118005
4229
U redu, da li je bolje imati veliku kuću
sa belom drvenom ogradom?

02:14
Less of us are doing that.
40
122710

To radi manje nas.
02:16
Nearly five million people lost
their homes in the Great Recession,

Približno pet miliona ljudi

a još više nas se otreznilo po pitanju

da bismo držali tu tapiju.

All right, so we're not

U redu, dakle, ne pronalazimo
stabilno zaposlenje,

02:37
we're not earning as much money,
47
145489
1733
ne zarađujemo toliko novca
02:39
and we're not living in big fancy houses.
48
147246
2412
i ne živimo u velikim skupim kućama.
02:42
Toll the funeral bells
49
150372
1715
Zazvonite pogrebna zvona
02:44
for everything that made America great.
50
152111
2569
za sve što je Ameriku činilo velikom.
02:48
But,
51
156147
1152
Ipak,
02:49
are those the best measurements
of a country's greatness,
of a country's greatness,
52
157767
3906
da li su to najbolje mere
veličine jedne zemlje
veličine jedne zemlje
02:53
of a life well lived?
53
161697
1501
ili dobro proživljenog života?
02:55
What I think makes America great
is its spirit of reinvention.
is its spirit of reinvention.
54
163870
3585
Ja smatram da Ameriku čini velikom
njen duh ponovnog otkrivanja.
njen duh ponovnog otkrivanja.
03:00
In the wake of the Great Recession,
55
168034
1718
Po okončanju velike recesije,
03:01
more and more Americans are redefining
what "better off" really means.
what "better off" really means.
56
169776
4157
sve više Amerikanaca iznova definiše
šta „bolje“ zaista znači.
šta „bolje“ zaista znači.
03:06
Turns out, it has more to do
with community and creativity
with community and creativity
57
174412
3986
Ispostavilo se da ima više veze
sa zajednicom i kreativnošću
sa zajednicom i kreativnošću
03:10
than dollars and cents.
58
178422
1685
nego sa dolarima i centima.
03:12
Now, let me be very clear:
59
180917
2039
Da budem vrlo jasna,
03:15
the 14.8 percent of Americans
living in poverty need money,
living in poverty need money,
60
183480
5193
novac je potreban za 14,8 posto
Amerikanaca koji žive u siromaštvu,
Amerikanaca koji žive u siromaštvu,
03:20
plain and simple.
61
188697
1380
prosto i jednostavno.
03:22
And all of us need policies
that protect us from exploitation
that protect us from exploitation
62
190101
3661
A svima nama su potrebni zakoni
da nas štete od eksploatacije
da nas štete od eksploatacije
03:25
by employers and financial institutions.
63
193786
3201
poslodavaca i finansijskih institucija.
03:29
Nothing that follows is meant to suggest
that the gap between rich and poor
that the gap between rich and poor
64
197011
4651
Ništa što sledi ne treba da ukaže
da je jaz između bogatih i siromašnih
da je jaz između bogatih i siromašnih
03:33
is anything but profoundly immoral.
65
201686
3371
ništa manje nego duboko nemoralan.
03:38
But,
66
206224
1305
Međutim,
03:39
too often we let
the conversation stop there.
the conversation stop there.
67
207553
2639
prečesto dopuštamo da razgovor tu stane.
03:42
We talk about poverty as if
it were a monolithic experience;
it were a monolithic experience;
68
210804
3725
Govorimo o siromaštvu
kao da se radi o monolitnom iskustvu;
kao da se radi o monolitnom iskustvu;
03:46
about the poor as if
they were solely victims.
they were solely victims.
69
214553
2747
o siromašnima kao da su jedine žrtve.
Deo onoga što sam naučila
kroz svoje istraživanje i izveštavanje

03:50
Part of what I've learned
in my research and reporting
in my research and reporting
70
218126
2857
03:53
is that the art of living well
71
221007
2406
je da veštinu kvalitetnog života
03:55
is often practiced most masterfully
72
223437
2988
često najvičnije
upražnjavaju najugroženiji.
upražnjavaju najugroženiji.
03:58
by the most vulnerable.
73
226449
2106
04:02
Now, if necessity
is the mother of invention,
is the mother of invention,
74
230253
2492
Ako je potreba majka svih izuma,
04:04
I've come to believe
75
232769
1698
došla sam do uverenja
04:06
that recession can be
the father of consciousness.
the father of consciousness.
76
234491
3817
da recesija može biti otac svesnosti.
04:10
It confronts us with profound questions,
77
238879
2838
Suočava nas sa dubokim pitanjima
04:13
questions we might be too lazy
or distracted to ask
or distracted to ask
78
241741
3143
za koja bismo bili previše lenji
ili rasejani da bismo ih postavili
ili rasejani da bismo ih postavili
04:16
in times of relative comfort.
79
244908
1673
u vreme relativne udobnosti.
04:19
How should we work?
80
247047
1563
Kako bi trebalo da radimo?
04:20
How should we live?
81
248634
1313
Kako treba da živimo?
04:22
All of us, whether we realize it or not,
82
250766
2239
Svi mi, bilo da to uviđamo ili ne,
04:25
seek answers to these questions,
83
253029
1572
tražimo odgovore na ta pitanja,
04:26
with our ancestors
kind of whispering in our ears.
kind of whispering in our ears.
84
254625
3165
dok nam preci na neki način šapuću u uvo.
04:31
My great-grandfather
was a drunk in Detroit,
was a drunk in Detroit,
85
259020
4123
Moj pradeda je bio pijanac u Detroitu
04:35
who sometimes managed
to hold down a factory job.
to hold down a factory job.
86
263167
2563
koji je ponekad uspevao
da zadrži posao u fabrici.
da zadrži posao u fabrici.
04:38
He had, as unbelievable as it might sound,
87
266611
2916
Imao je, koliko god neverovatno zvučalo,
04:41
21 children,
88
269551
1871
21 dete,
04:43
with one woman, my great-grandmother,
89
271446
2382
sa jednom ženom, mojom prababom,
04:45
who died at 47 years old
of ovarian cancer.
of ovarian cancer.
90
273852
3400
koja je umrla u 47. godini
od raka jajnika.
od raka jajnika.
04:49
Now, I'm pregnant with my second child,
91
277945
1935
Ja sam trudna sa svojim drugim detetom
04:51
and I cannot even fathom
what she must have gone through.
what she must have gone through.
92
279904
4574
i ne mogu ni da zamislim
kroz šta sve mora da je prošla.
kroz šta sve mora da je prošla.
04:56
And if you're trying to do the math --
there were six sets of twins.
there were six sets of twins.
93
284502
3586
Ako pokušavate da izračunate -
bilo je šest pari blizanaca.
bilo je šest pari blizanaca.
05:00
So my grandfather, their son,
94
288810
2738
Tako je moj deda, njihov sin,
05:03
became a traveling salesman,
95
291572
1699
postao trgovački putnik
i doživeo je veliki uspeh i nagli pad.
i doživeo je veliki uspeh i nagli pad.
05:05
and he lived boom and bust.
96
293295
1495
05:06
So my dad grew up answering
the door for debt collectors
the door for debt collectors
97
294814
3686
Tako je moj tata odrastao
otvarajući vrata uterivačima dugova
otvarajući vrata uterivačima dugova
05:10
and pretending his parents weren't home.
98
298524
1995
i pretvarajući se
da mu roditelji nisu kod kuće.
da mu roditelji nisu kod kuće.
05:12
He actually took his braces off himself
with pliers in the garage,
with pliers in the garage,
99
300979
4180
On je zapravo sam skinuo
svoju protezu kleštima u garaži
svoju protezu kleštima u garaži
05:17
when his father admitted
he didn't have money
he didn't have money
100
305183
2159
kada mu je otac priznao da nema novca
da se vrate kod ortodonta.
da se vrate kod ortodonta.
05:19
to go back to the orthodontist.
101
307366
1674
05:21
So my dad, unsurprisingly,
102
309778
2771
Tako je moj otac, što ne iznenađuje,
05:24
became a bankruptcy lawyer.
103
312573
2068
postao advokat za bankrot.
05:26
Couldn't write this in a novel, right?
104
314665
2048
Ne bi se mogao
bolji roman napisati, zar ne?
bolji roman napisati, zar ne?
05:29
He was obsessed with providing
a secure foundation
a secure foundation
105
317236
3281
Bio je opsednut obezbeđivanjem
sigurnih temelja
sigurnih temelja
05:32
for my brother and I.
106
320541
1346
za mog brata i mene.
05:34
So I ask these questions
by way of a few generations of struggle.
by way of a few generations of struggle.
107
322521
3747
Zato ja postavljam ova pitanja
prolazeći kroz nekoliko generacija borbe.
prolazeći kroz nekoliko generacija borbe.
05:38
My parents made sure that I grew up
on a kind of steady ground
on a kind of steady ground
108
326895
3057
Moji roditelji su se postarali
da odrastem na čvrstoj podlozi
da odrastem na čvrstoj podlozi
05:41
that allows one to question
and risk and leap.
and risk and leap.
109
329976
3317
koja omogućava osobi da preispituje,
rizikuje i načini skok.
rizikuje i načini skok.
05:45
And ironically, and probably
sometimes to their frustration,
sometimes to their frustration,
110
333909
3314
Ironično, a verovatno ponekad
na njihovo razočaranje,
na njihovo razočaranje,
05:49
it is their steadfast
commitment to security
commitment to security
111
337247
3284
njihova čvrsta posvećenost
sigurnosti je upravo ono
sigurnosti je upravo ono
05:52
that allows me to question its value,
112
340555
2465
što mi omogućava
da preispitujem njenu vrednost,
da preispitujem njenu vrednost,
05:55
or at least its value
as we've historically defined it
as we've historically defined it
113
343044
2978
ili makar njenu vrednost
kako smo je istorijski definisali
kako smo je istorijski definisali
05:58
in the 21st century.
114
346046
1713
u 21. veku.
06:00
So let's dig into this first question:
115
348870
1984
Hajde da prionemo na prvo pitanje.
06:03
How should we work?
116
351267
1781
Kako bi trebalo da radimo?
06:06
We should work like our mothers.
117
354397
2611
Treba da radimo kao naše majke.
06:09
That's right -- we've spent decades
118
357754
2139
Tako je - proveli smo decenije
06:11
trying to fit women into a work world
built for company men.

pokušavajući da uklopimo žene u svet rada
koji je izgrađen za kompanijske muškarce.
koji je izgrađen za kompanijske muškarce.
Mnogi su lomili kičmu da bi se uklopili,
06:16
And many have done backbends to fit in,
120
364358
1890
06:18
but others have carved
a more unconventional path,
a more unconventional path,
121
366272
2625
ali su drugi ucrtali neuobičajeniju stazu,
06:21
creating a patchwork of meaning and money
122
369652
2199
stvarajući kolaž smisla i novca
06:23
with enough flexibility
to do what they need to do

123
371875
2721
sa dovoljno fleksibilnosti
da bi radili ono što moraju

06:26
for those that they love.

06:28
My mom called it "just making it work."
125
376993
2166
Moja mama to naziva
„prosto učiniti da funkcioniše“.
„prosto učiniti da funkcioniše“.
06:31
Today I hear life coaches
call it "a portfolio career."
call it "a portfolio career."
126
379574

Danas čujem kako životni treneri
to nazivaju „portfolio karijerom“.
to nazivaju „portfolio karijerom“.
06:35
Whatever you call it,
127
383956
1659
Kako god da to nazovete,
06:37
more and more men are craving
these whole, if not harried, lives.
these whole, if not harried, lives.
128
385639

sve više muškaraca žudi za tim celovitim,
ako ne i napregnutim životima.

06:43
They're waking up to their desire

Now, artist Ann Hamilton has said,
130
396547
2437
Umetnica En Hamilton je rekla:
06:51
"Labor is a way of knowing."
131
399008
2515
„Rad je način saznavanja.“
06:54
Labor is a way of knowing.
132
402458
1288
Rad je način saznavanja.
Drugim rečima, ono na čemu radimo
06:55
In other words, what we work on
133
403770
2008
06:57
is what we understand about the world.
134
405802
2503
je ono što razumemo o svetu.
07:01
If this is true, and I think it is,
135
409043
2199
Ako je to istina, a mislim da jeste,
07:03
then women who have disproportionately
cared for the little ones
cared for the little ones
136
411266
3572
onda su žene koje su se nesrazmerno mnogo
starale o mališanima, bolesnima i starima,
starale o mališanima, bolesnima i starima,
07:06
and the sick ones and the aging ones,
137
414862
1977
07:08
have disproportionately benefited
138
416863
2932
nesrazmerno mnogo dobile
07:11
from the most profound kind
of knowing there is:
of knowing there is:
139
419819
3530
najdublje moguće saznanje -
07:15
knowing the human condition.
140
423373
2145
saznanje o ljudskom stanju.
07:18
By prioritizing care,
141
426442
2152
Stavljajući negu među prioritete,
07:20
men are, in a sense, staking their claim
142
428618
2576
muškarci na neki način polažu pravo
07:23
to the full range of human existence.
143
431218
2903
na pun spektar ljudskog postojanja.
07:27
Now, this means the nine-to-five
no longer works for anyone.
no longer works for anyone.
144
435097

To znači da radno vreme od pet do devet
više ne funkcioniše za bilo koga.

Štancanje kartica postaje zastarelo,

Whole industries are being born

Čitave industrije se rađaju
i umiru svakoga dana.
i umiru svakoga dana.
07:36
It's all nonlinear from here.
147
444627
1931
Odavde sve postaje nelinearno.
07:39
So we need to stop asking kids,
148
447090
2012
Stoga treba da prestanemo da pitamo decu:
„Šta želiš da budeš kad porasteš?“
07:41
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
149
449126
2056
i da počnemo da ih pitamo:
„Kako želiš da budeš kada porasteš?“
„Kako želiš da budeš kada porasteš?“
07:43
and start asking them,
"How do you want to be when you grow up?"
"How do you want to be when you grow up?"
150
451206
3304
07:47
Their work will constantly change.
151
455247
1899
Njihov posao će se stalno menjati.
07:49
The common denominator is them.
152
457170
1975
Oni su zajednički imenilac.
07:51
So the more they understand their gifts
153
459504
1941
Tako, što više razumeju svoje talente
07:53
and create crews of ideal collaborators,
154
461469
2455
i stvaraju grupe idealnih saradnika,
07:55
the better off they will be.
155
463948
1840
bolje će im biti.

We need to reinvent labor organizing.

our 21st century values,

08:24
not some archaic idea

a ne neka arhaična ideja
o donošenju hleba u kuću,

odavno kasni;
08:29
just ask your mother.
168
497671
1383
samo pitajte svoju majku.
08:31
Now, how about the second question:
169
499877
1702
A sada, šta je sa drugim pitanjem -
kako treba da živimo?
kako treba da živimo?
08:33
How should we live?
170
501603

We should live

Treba da živimo
08:37
like our immigrant ancestors.
172
505507
2072
kao naši preci imigranti.
08:41
When they came to America,
173

Kada su došli u Ameriku,
08:42
they often shared apartments,
survival tactics, child care --

još jedan stomak,

na raspolaganju.
08:48
no matter how small the food available.
176
516919
2260
08:51
But they were told that success meant
leaving the village behind

177
519770
3566
Međutim, rečeno im je da uspeh podrazumeva
da ostave selo za sobom

08:55
and pursuing that iconic symbol
of the American Dream,

178
523360

the white picket fence.

09:00
And even today,
we see a white picket fence

180
528460
2024
Čak i danas, vidimo belu drvenu ogradu
i pomislimo na uspeh, pribranost.
09:02
and we think success, self-possession.
181
530508
2373
09:04
But when you strip away
the sentimentality,
the sentimentality,
182
532905
2231
Ipak, kada odstranite sentimentalnost,
09:07
what it really does is divides us.
183
535160
2376
ona nas zapravo razdvaja.
09:10
Many Americans are rejecting
the white picket fence

Mnogi Amerikanci odbacuju
belu drvenu ogradu

i ponovo prisvajaju seoski život,
09:17
reclaiming interdependence instead.

prisvajajući međuzavisnost umesto toga.
09:21
Fifty million of us, for example,

Pedeset miliona nas, na primer,

and we live in homes that have everything

Now, people, when I tell them
I live like this,

Kada kažem ljudima da živim ovako,
oni često imaju jednu
od dve ekstremne reakcije.

Ili kažu: „Zašto svi ne žive ovako?“
11:20
Either they say, "Why doesn't
everyone live like this?"
everyone live like this?"
230

Nikad ne bih hteo da to uradim.“

I would never want to do that."

So let me reassure you: there is
a sacred respect for privacy among us,

Pa, da vas uverim: među nama postoji

but also a commitment to what we call
"radical hospitality" --
