What motivates you, Silke?
For me, leaving a positive imprint on the world is crucial; I believe that honesty with oneself and others is fundamental to achieving this. My aim transcends mere profit; it’s about fostering authentic quality in interpersonal relations, engaging in meaningful conversations, and nurturing social connections across all walks of life. Fairness stands at the forefront of my professional ethos.
In the court disputes I’ve engaged in, striving for a win-win outcome has always been paramount. Even in the most contentious disputes, my objective is to ensure a mutually beneficial resolution for all parties involved. I eschew gaining an advantage at the expense of others, a principle I’ve faithfully adhered to throughout my career.
My curiosity and openness to everything fuel my continuous learning and exploration of diverse perspectives. While staying true to myself, I remain willing to reconsider my own views.
My involvement with the Utopiensammlerin stems from a desire to make positive visions and ideas from across the globe accessible to everyone.
My motivation is driven by the belief that, despite our technological advancements, technology should serve humanity, not dominate it. Amidst digitalization, it’s crucial to uphold real values and guide people into the new world, ensuring ethical and legal standards rooted in human rights are also applied online.
The Internet should not become a legal void.
