do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?
Gambling addiction can't be stopped or reduce by a parade or orientation or education. All those things had been done by people to stop their wards from gambling but they could not end it so they have to let it be. And the only thing that can stop or reduce gambling in the society is very strong home training and effective and active employment. Those who are gambling to the level of no return (addiction) were caused by bad home training and lack of job to be employed. Probably they have finished schools thinking to work in a firm but irony soak them so they went to the gambling halls to look for daily bread and as they are getting it there little by little there is no need for them to come back to the job market to look for job so they bury themselves in the gambling section in the society. So for not the younger once to do the same, there should be orientation given to them and after when they have finished school work should be given to them. This is my little contribution on this matter.
Actually, what was displayed at the parade came from my country. It's just that, I don't know where it is located. However, over a period of time, parades like this have appeared again in various cities in my country. I conclude and assume that what they are doing is clearly not to stop someone or addicted gamblers from recovering from their addiction. but more just to make a parade, because accompanied by a big event in our country. you could say, just for fun. But that doesn't mean that what they do doesn't have deep meaning.
Well, now we are talking from the addiction side. So it's clear, gambling addiction can't just be stopped from parades or orientation as well as education. but rather, from the consciousness of each individual. without awareness and understanding, a person will find it difficult to release the shackles of excessive habits that have become deeply rooted and become addictive.
Regarding the idea you mentioned, I think it's a good thing. It's just that the problem is who is willing to provide the training, let alone voluntarily. for the idea of the last point you said, how the materials will be made based on orientation, especially for students. whether it will be effective is not certain because it has not been tested at all.
