What does food mean to you? Is it a physiological necessity? Pleasure? Tradition? Or something else entirely? Can you imagine Christmas without rosols (Latvian potato salad – ed.), gingerbread, tangerines, pīrāgi (Latvian bacon buns – ed.) or grey peas with speck? Have you ever wondered why? Why don’t we choose to put pasta or dumplings on the table at Christmas, and why would Jāņi not be Jāņi without beer and cheese? Why do we drink champagne on New Year’s Eve and have cake on our birthday?
Anger, intolerance, self-righteousness, and rudeness have long been sadly prevalent in people’s attitude towards one another, and not just in Latvia. Researchers have conducted several studies on the consequences of rude behaviour; niceness and civility are also important in medicine. The conclusion is that civility improves medical personnel’s work, enhances their performance, improves treatment outcomes, and reduces the number of medical errors. In other words, civility saves lives!
The RSU Christmas Concert Home for Christmas will take place at 20:00 on 22 December.
