Our Goals and Social Analysis

Social Analysis:

When we began our activities, we were told to choose a theme that we thought to be relevant for the society and with which we could make a social change. Analyzing the Israeli society makes it clear that the army is one of (if not the) most important and central part of it. As a social project, we then focused on the social part of the army service: the persons who are soldiers during that 3 year period.

The army in Israel is an important subject that makes part of the life of all citizens, who dedicate two or three years of their lives to the military program procrastinating their university studies and life projects.

One analysis of the Israeli society is that, in the last Knesset Elections, we had a strengthening of the right wing and a weakening of the whole left wing. Although these oscillations between left and right thoughts are normal during the history of the country, and that mot people declare themselves as center, nowadays, we believed that maybe the service on the army played some role on it. On this supposition we based and developed our research. Our goal was, therefore to prove right or wrong this supposition.

1) Verify what's the role the service in the I.D.F played was in people’s later life

2) Verify the influence of this service on the political view of the Israeli’s
