Tension between rich and poor is seen as the driver of division in Hungary
The gap between the rich and the poor divides societies around the world the most, with at least 74% of respondents perceiving this contrast as the most dividing factor, according to a recent survey.
A total of 23,000 people in 28 countries completed Ipsos’ online questionnaire, which sought to assess the types of divisions people experience in everyday life around the world.
The rich-poor tension is felt to be strongest in South Korea and Chile (91% of respondents), followed by Hungary with 86%.
Regarding this aspect, Hungary tops the European list.

Unsurprisingly, Hungarians feel even more tension among supporters of different parties. 88% perceive it as a very serious problem in Hungary, ranking the country third after South Korea and the United States.
444 writes that the tension between the metropolitan elite and the ordinary working people is considered strong by 76% of Hungarian respondents. Here, too, only Chile, Russia, and South Korea are ahead of us.
The same proportion mentioned the tension between different social classes, barely lagging behind Brazil. Fewer, but still quite a few experience tensions between representatives of liberal, progressive ideas and traditional values in Hungary (70%).
More than 60% feel the tension between immigrants and those born in Hungary.
It seems that Hungarians do not perceive other types of divisions as severe. For instance, respondents put religious and male-female opposition in the last two places.
People were also asked whether they see “culture wars” in society based on media reports and everyday conversations. In Hungary, 33% answered yes, while in South Africa, the United States, and India, almost 60% did so. On the other end of the spectrum, in Japan, it was only 9%.
Finally, political correctness was also discussed. In this case, respondents placed themselves on a scale of 7, where 0 means “many are offended too easily” and 7 means “people should communicate more sensitively”.
It may come as a surprise, but in Hungary, 58% of respondents placed themselves in the middle or second half of the scale, believing that we need to change the way people talk. Find out more HERE.

There is no doubt – although it is mainly through the media we get most of the information – the media
CAN AND DOES inform, influence, incite, twist or tell the truth bluntly.
The MEDIA CAN AND DOES TAKE SIDES OR THREATENED BY THE OPPOSITION AS IT HAS BEEN SHOWN ON A VIDEO WE HAVE SEEN A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.
IT IS A THANKLESS TASK.
I would hate to be in your shoes, the stress must be enormous.
Although when I read something that is so nauseatingly politically correct my blood pressure goes through the roof I understand, that if you want to exist as a newspaper sometimes it is necessary not to
“do it against the wind”.
STRIVING FOR EQUALITY, KILLING OFF, ELIMINATING THE WHOLE OF THE UPPER AND MIDDLE CLASSES.
THE CLEANSING PROCESS.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE UNDER THE COMMUNIST REGIME.
TAKE IT FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED ALL THEIR LIVES TO HAVE A PLEASANT OLD AGE AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM.
It just changed hands as THOSE IN THIS NEW RUTHLESS POWER-GAME BECAME WEALTHY BUT 90% OF THE POPULATION WERE STILL EXTREMELY POOR.
We are all after comfort and security.
There ARE HUGE CONTRADICTIONS here.
If one is to take it from the rich, then why are those people in power allow THEMSELVES to be bought by someone like Soros?
Why do they want more money, why are they not happy with an ENORMOUS SALARY?
I see corruption everywhere, corrupted by MONEY AND OR POWER.
There should be a limit to the amount of wealth an individual could have, that would limit their power as well.
I am not certain if there is a solution to this UNIVERSAL PROBLEM.
What happens to the COMPETITIVE SPIRIT?
It is a complex issue.
As I see it NO MATTER WHO IS IN POWER, THERE WILL NEVER BE EQUALITY ON ANY LEVEL.
ALL WE CAN EXPECT IS COMMON DECENCY.
THANK YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE.
