UNITED NATIONS;HERO OR ZERO?

                            WHAT DO THE PYRAMIDS RESEMBLE?


              My English Language teacher shot out this question at our whole class,one day early this year.Some peers of mine spoke about great success of the Egyptians,magnificent architecture of the landmark of iconoclastic style,intelligence of ancient civilisation and etc.But,what my dear teacher said after that,really made me to ponder.

     She mentioned that,the structure of pyramids resemble a slavery hierarchy,adding that the tip of the world icon signifies an '”invisible hand ruling us,without us knowing it.This hand controls us with its agenda and propaganda.To make it simple,it makes the world go round.What she said may be her personal opinion,but we need to consider the real connotation of her idea.

      United Nations;an international organisation comprising almost all nation members of the globe.Its primary objective is to look after the welfare of the nations.In terms of science,technology,culture,et al,United Nations has championed these issues internationally,remarkably.

        Well,that was the documented objective!So far and so forth,although UN has contributed significantly to the human civilisation prior to this,I personally feel that this establishment is capable in doing more.United Nations is being led by a handful of prominent figures,selected by the nation members.One example is,the secretary-general of UN,Ban Ki-Mun.However,I am curious regarding the existence of the noted Security Council.This council acts as an advisor to the United Nations.It comprises five permanent members and ten non-permanent members.Yet,the former is the heavyweight in this 15 members council.United States,Britain,France,Russia and China are the big shots of permanent membership.

       These five countries have veto power to vote on all the issues brought to the council’s attention.I am not anti-Security Council but,I feel that the presence of this particular veto power creates a form of hegemony.I believe,in spite of the differences the countries poses in terms of development and economy,each and every country is the same.No country is more superior than the others.

      In the case of Palestine seeking sovereignty recognition from UN,US threatens to use its ultimate power to dismiss the application.Ironically,almost all other members of UN have given their consent to Palestine.Also,in the case of Unesco accepting Palestine as a member,US has decided to put a halt to its annual funding to the UN’s arm.These cases,out of plenty,showcases how they are manipulating their power.

      While I respect the success of the five nations,I do not want to see anyone being the slaves to these countries.And I believe that this is a communal hope of the global community.

     Let the prominent figures worldwide,sit together and repeal the veto power given to these countries.They can continue being the advisors of UN,yet any decisions taken should be based on mutual-consensus.Should the veto power remains,I do not think that the global community needs such an organisation.Other leaders,PLEASE SPEAK UP!

Steve Jobs And Muammar Gaddafi;The Truth Revealed

            Last month,the month of October,exhibited significance in many forms.A month which marks firmly the end of flamboyance and success,hatred and vengeance.Two prominent figures,each at different corners of the world,now no longer with us,lost their lives in their respective ways.Steve Jobs and Muammar Gaddafi.Once they were embracing the future,now no longer.

           Sipping a cup of hot choc while writing this blog post by using my Macbook Air,I wondered how these two men had marked a point in mankind written history.The story regarding their shocked entire globe,regardless of anyone out there.But,I assume that many of us are much more concerned about Lindsay Lohan's nude photoshoot for the "reputable" Playboy magazine.Her mother said that the photoshoot went on well.Imagine that."Good mum,good daughter."

           When Steve Jobs passed away,the story of his death due to pacreatic cancer went viraling beyond continents.People started paying tributes regardless of their religious beliefs.And not only that,millions if not billions people started to "shower" Apple's official website with condolences.While his death was shocking,to witness how many of us shed our tears for him is inevitably,mesmerising.

           On the other hand,Muammar Gaddafi,the ousted Libyan leader,died in the hands of hos own people.Being the ultimate ruler of Libya for 42 years(he beats Tun Mahathir,Malaysia's ex-premier,in record),he was killed be the rebels pathetically after he surrended to them.A video showing the incident clearly showcased the vengeance many Libyans had in Gaddafi.But,this simply does not mean that their action of killing a surrended man could be justified.

         I am not a Libyan,but if Gaddafi had done mistakes in the past,these rebels who killed him proved to be not much different than him.But,now all that we can hope for is that,the International Criminal Court would take severe actions in this case.

           Jobs and Gaddafi may have nothing in common(expect the fact that Jobs's biological father is a Middle-Easterner),but their life stories greatly epitomised the one and only naked truth.You may be anyone,but at the end of your life,you are nothing.If while being alive,you can do something significant to at least a person,you shall always be remembered.

P/S:To the political leaders and prominent public figures out there, you may have great powers,but when the people power rises in any circumstances,you can not withstand the pressure.Learn something from Gaddafi.

Food Supply Shortage

                In the last 18th century,a man named Thomas Maltus predicted in one of his essays that in the upcoming future,mankind would suffer indefinitey due to shortage of food supply.His theory dictated that food supply would increase arithmetically while human population will register exponential increment.I would not say that he is a good prophecy-maker,but this guy has a point there.

                Today,31th of October 2011,marks the official birth of the seventh billion member to the global human population.While this may be a good news to many,I,particularly,am puzzled over the uncertain future.Taking a peek at today's international scenario where food supply fails to meet with global demand,one would be left to ponder about the way to sustain life due to scarcity of food.

                Food is inevitably,one of the essential elements to live(and oxygen,of course).Many experts have been pointing that the primary reason for this food-supply shortage "headache" is the perpetual increment in the global population.And most notably,those without "financial-wealth" would be the most devastated ones because of this problem rather than the "big guns" of the international community.

                As we have witnessed,the poor one,especially nationals of "low development countries,(LCD)",are being struck by famine and malnutrition.The young ones,are really finding it hard to live despite the difficulties.Ironically,these poor countries usually have a high number of human population.But,by looking back at the scenario,there is a question that needs a definite,firm answer.Is the growing human population the only reason for this predicament?

               Climate change is one other reason,of course.With unpredictable climate even with state-of -the-art satellites and other technological elements,food supply continues to decrease,mercilessly.The world's biggest exporter of rice,"the Ricebowl of South East Asia",Thailand has been hit by non-stop downpour for several weeks now.This has immensely affected the rice production of Thailand and I believe,this is a bad news for individuals who consume rice as staple food.

              Other than climate change,another factor to point for the food-supply shortage is us.Yes,US!For your information,one third or 40% of food produced is being wasted by mere human beings indiscriminately.Just go to any i.e.wedding  ceremony,and notice the naked fact by yourselves.The left-overs would be dumped in garbage bins after the whole ceremony has ended.For the rich,dumping the food,would be cake walk.I believe,the same goes to all of us.However,if one really takes a single minute to think about the consequences of his or her actions,a lot could be changed in reality.

 
            Intelligentsia worldwide believe that if the leftovers are channelled to the needy,the percentage of patients suffering from malnutrition and hunger would dip remarkably.That,my friends,could happen,if we are willing to spearhead the ultimate changes,starting right from ourselves.

 
           We faced the similar problem prior to this in the sixties.Fortunately,with the inception of the Green Revolution,the problem was solved for good.Through that process,better seeds were introduced through genetic-modification and better irrigation also paved its way into the agriculture sector.

 
           All in all,there is always a solution for any problem.Yet,in the end,it relies on us to decide the best way to combat a problem.

THE ECONOMIC APOCALYPSE

            Beware!As been predicted in prophecies,particularly the Mayan prophecy,the Apocalypse is HERE,waiting every second to get us.The ancient civilisation may have seen the future of homosapiens in appalling conditions due to the destruction of the Earth.However,whilethe factof a chaotic disaster is awaiting us ahead may be true,it could be in a way,we have never imagined before.

            Initiated from the much-noted street for its flamboyant economic success;the Wall Street,massive protests by the massesunder the name of "Occupy" is apparently shaking the globe."Occupy Wall Street","Occupy Boston","Occupy D.C.","Occupy London Stock Exchange" and "Occupy Tokyo" moves,hit the headlines of the mediasphere,assuring the world that a revolution is rising.A revolution by the silent majority which is left in huge financial problems and economic instability.

            Apart from the Arab Spring,where we witnessedprominent political figures being chased away in pathetic manner by the people power,now it is the time for the rest of the world.In many nations,like America and Britain,to name a few,the nationals can feel that the governments are more concerned about the welfare of corporations and conglomerates rather than,the people who have voted for the government in power.An ubiquitous scenario throughout continents is ,the people would only be "showered" with attention during the electoral campaigns.Promising pledges are generously poured at these innocent people.However ,in the aftermath of election victory,the filthy rich and corporate figures would be the bosses of the politicians.Why,like we are seeing now,the figures themselves are funding the campaigns of politicians.In example,the Regal of America,is "busy" garnering funds for his gargantuan 2012 presidential campaign.

             Politicians fail to realise that the people have given them the mandate to rule a country so that everyone can live prosperously,not only some certain fractions of community.Look at Wall Street,corporations and financial entities there,do not contribute much tangible benefits to the society.When they are in a good "mood",they will be engaged in investment as much as possible,rake unimaginable profits and when they do not feel good,they will simply divest their stakes indiscriminately,leaving the economy in a tailspin.

             Not only this,many of us are also perplexed seeing big corporations engaging in mutiple business opportunities,to harness millions if not billions of dollars.But in the end,their darn calculations go wrong and they plunge into bancruptcy like what had happened to Lehman Brothers.Or maybe,they just do not care regarding the negative implications of their actions because for them,the Government is always more than ready,to help them out,using the taxpayers' money.The money that you and I pay.

             And it does not just stop there.It is just the beginning of a nightmare.These scenarios trigger recessions in major economies like America and thereafter,other nations especially the developing and low-development ones,have to face the circumstances.And thank you,America and European Union,because the rest of us have to pay the price of your actions.Thank you indeed,my "hero".

             Politicians and those in cotrol of the global economy,please wake up from day-dreaming.Your self-centric actions are just worsening the situation.Use your expertise to help the people.Economy is crucial as it links us together.We,inevitably,do not want to see people commiting suicide,becoming prostitutes and involving in crimes like in Greece now due to economic mismanagement.Even,Degree and Ph.D holders are becoming beggars in the street,pondering about the uncertain future.

             Economy is meant for everyone.And believe these words,corporations and conglomerates would not be able to attain success without our presence.If prompt actions are not taken,then the people power may do the rest.But ,I guess that we do not want to see that to happen as we had experience seeing the fate i the Arabic region.

             For the concerned parties linked to economic management,please do something to alter the status quo.Many are devastated and children shed their tears seeing the predicament of their parents,The hopes are on you now.

THE GLOBAL DILEMMA

        With great determination and enthusiasm,Westerners "successfully" became the conquerors of many nations for decades long.These Westerners,most notably Britain and America have scaled up to unimaginable heights to prove their capability.While I am not talking about imperialism,I would like to touch about the impact that they have left behind.

        Let go about the implications on our social structure and economy.These conquerors have indirect impact on language too.Seeing their lavish,stylish  lifestly now and before,many longed to lead such lives.We started to live,wlk and talk like them.Our cultures and way of living seemed boring and far from being labelled as uber.

        And in the advent of modern lifestyle,adaptation happened among the masses.Especially in terms of language,people,internationally,started to use English in daily conversation.Much importance was emphasised on English and less on our mother tongue.To our horror,some even "ridiculously" stopped using their mother tongue languages and recognised themselves as Englishman.This,particularly,happened in well-educated groups where they lack respect for their native languages.

         For me,it is worrisome to witness even small children unable to communicate using their mother tongue.They are more comfortable interacting using English Language.It is not wrong,however it kills the native language gradually.In such cases,the parents are there to be blamed.Through my observation,many parents (not all) talk to their children in English and even scold them if the kids do speak in their mother tongue.How awkward is this?

         Despite the existence of some groups championing the rights of native language,the importance of our mother tongue should be acknowledge and appreciated individually.Being the "lingua franca",English is crucial but it does not mean that we can have lackadaisical attitude towards our native language.Think about it!

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

        Yesterday,I taught my little cousin brother that the mighty Sun is the centre of our Solar System.He nodded silently and subsequently,asked a question that made me to ponder."What is then,the centre of the Earth?"little Sanjay asked.His question may sound simple yet for me,to furnish the exact answer would be a mind-gruelling task.

        In easy words,there is no exact point for us to recognise as the centre of our planet.In the 19th century,the world looked up at Europe as the most prominent place on Earth,most notably after its Renaissance success.At that particular moment in written history,everything important came from Europe not mentioning world-class intelligentsia.

        Then,a few centuries after,in the post-World War 2 period,the new giant,Uncle Sam's nation,America toppled Europe from its position and emerged as the vital place on Earth.Ever since,U.S.A had attained a good name in the global arena.Believe it or not,the emergence of this Anglo-Saxon nation altered it into a great phenomenon.Wherever you may go,you can witness many people "hailing" America as a good example.

         America and its nationals value freedom of speech as the most crucial element in their lives.This was specifically proven by David Hitchcock's research some time ago,that Americans gave the highest score for freedom of speech compared to the Asians.For Americans,freedom of speech is a compulsary right for everyone and any attempts to disrupt this freedom is inevitably,a violation.

        America is always seen as the leading protagonist in the freedom of speech movement.This nation,has also been urging every nation to practise this right.But at the same time,the press in America were not given the full opportunity to cover a story.Often,there are limitations to their freedom of speech.To get it straight,it is easy to preach but difficult to carry it out literally.

        Actually,individuals and non-profittable organisations globally have seriously engaged in movements to compel the governments to practise freedom of speech.But,many lawmakers,internationally,deem that freedom of speech,if recognised in big scale can trigger problems in a nation.For them ,everything should have its limitations or else,we might have to face severe cicumstances.  They may have a point there.

       In a nut shell,voicing out our opinions in public is not that bad after all.It is just that we should the right way to do it.

THE 9/11 INCIDENT;FORGET NOT

          Looking back into the past,it has been 10 years since the black,petrifying incident.The global community was apparently,taken aback watching the North and South Towers of World Trade Centre collapsing,scrambling down to Earth,broadcasted live by the stakeholders of mediasphere like CNN and BBC.Not to be mentioned,residents of the Big Apple city,undeniably may still not able to forget about the "blockbuster" scenario.

         Perusing through the local daily's pages,one by one photos of people mourning for their dead family members in the disaster,stole my heart for sure.For those residing outside the American borders,the impact may not be this gigantic.What to say, 3000 innocent lives were lost pathetically due to the unscrupulous act of the ruthless terrorists.Americans suffered the most;they lost their loved ones and they lost economically(Wall Street was closed for one whole week).

         And then,retaliation was initiated.Under the stewardship of Regal George W.Bush,America boasted with the "War On Terrorism" propaganda.Innocent Muslims were classified as terrorists,and thousands of lives murdered in Afghanistan and Iraq in the name of peace and tranquilty.The target was the much-feared Osama Bin Laden,and with Uncle Sam's prodigious defence strength,attacks were launched.Ironically,however,only after almost 10 years that is this year,Bin Laden was "successfully" killed with honour.

         But,does this mean that everything is over?Certainly not,as terrorism is everywhere.More attacks may be experienced in future,but no one can firmly say when this terrifying vendetta will end.I am not saying that the terrorists are good nor America's military actions are the best.The main cult is terrorism should be destroyed from the root,but not by force.You can never fight fire with fire.This world has seen much;from the World Wars until the WTC attack,anger and terrorism never helped us in any way.

         Hypothetically,the Ground Zero may be developed with state of the art new towers,but that will not delete the nightmare of New Yorkers in the history as the story of World Trade Centre wil live on.

The Malignant Silent Killer;Corruption

of c rOne man army-Anna Hazare.This was the first thing that slipped into my mind while reading a daily’s article,recently.This single man despite his old age,stood alone supported by his adherents to compel the Indian Parliament to establish an anti-graft bill.Another “hero”,Baba Ramdev emerged in the limelight as a protagonist in the anti-graft movement,previously.These two icons emphasised on the same thing;a nation free of corruption.One thing for sure,Indians can inevitably,be ”proud” of their nation’s “achievements” as India is positioned in the top ranking of world’s worst corrupted countries’ list by a foreign wire,Transparency International.What happens in India is something ubiquitous as corruption is rife there.Although India finds itself in the headlines as one of the future economic giants in Asia apart from China,corruption is something that it cannot get rid off.

         Actually,corruption lies everywhere,scattered throughout continents.Intellectuals worldwide have addressed this issue for decades,and yet,ironically unable to come up with a counter-attack formula for corruption cases.I picture corruption or graft as malicious cancer cells,”killing” a nation silently from the inside.Corruption proved to be fatal especially if the civil servants of public sector are involved in such embarrassing issues.This fragile Earth,most recently,witnessed the naked truth that throughout the globe,people started to rebel against the unworthy,corrupted governments.This scenario occurred in several nations like Syria,Egypt and Libya.Most of us are sick of these corruption issues burdening us,both directly and indirectly.I definitely bet that we are tired of certain police officers asking for bribe without shame.We are tired of certain unscrupulous “people-friendly” politicians demanding for money to help us out whenever we encounter any problem.We are also,regretfully tired of seeing civil servants in top posts ‘craving’ for money to approve private or government projects.And most fascinatingly,we have seen these sorts of issues being addressed in many movies It seems that many of us would really be glad if corruption would meet a dead end soon.

             The truth is,the causes for this problem not only lies on the hands of others,but also in ourselves .Condemn corruption or any other form of it.Do not even once,for any reason,give or receive bribe.Report immediately to the respective authority if anyone tried to engage in such cases.We alone may not be able to alter the status quo,but at least we can be part of a change that might produce tangible benefits to the global community.Those,whom are caught due to such cases,might give many excuses,especially insufficient pay,that triggered them to involve in corruption,but surely,it is not a good excuse.Even some of us,whom receive high salaries receive bribes.So,what is the real reason?

              I opine that,one’s pay figures should not be made as an excuse.In the end,corruption leads to lack of moral virtues and ethics.Globally,due to corruption,annually,huge pool of money are lost in the form of black money.This definitely will create an imbalance in the economy.Lastly,everyone will suffer due to economic deterioration but somehow,the filthy rich ones would absolutely save themselves from the ordeal.

            In Anna Hazare’s case,he managed to compel the Indian parliament to create an anti-graft bill.Yet,it may not mark the end of corruption.More efforts need to be carried out to combat this issue.Most importantly,everything has to be initiated from us with a pure form of awareness about the danger of corruption.And to remind you,this is a message not only for India,but also to the entire planet Earth.
t only for India,but also to the entire planet Earth.


PALESTINE;THE EPITOME OF DEVASTATION

        Geographically,Palestine is made up of two regions;the West Bank and Gaza.All these while,this small nation found itself in the headlines of dailies worldwide(and that is if the citizens are able to even buy a newspaper).Analysing the bygone history,one can inevitably realise that this Muslim-majority country used to be a big nation prior to the British Mandate 1948 agreement as well as the Gulf War.

         But,all of a sudden,everything altered.With alien forces conquering and perpetrating atrocious violence on Palestine soil,this unfortunate country lost many vital locations in the nation.Most notably,Palestine lost Jerusalem or Baitulmaqdis (in Arabic language) to a mighty force named Israel.This particular city means a lot to three religions namely Jew,Christianity and Islam as this single city is one of the holy cities of these religions.At present,Israel which is “popular” for its capability in lobbying for power in the American Congress,controls most of Palestine’s used to be lands.And not contented with its “achievements” which are deemed brutal,ruthless and heartless by mass media globally,up to this very moment,Israel keeps on torturing Palestine’s civilians,mentally and physically.

           Now,Palestinians are tired of being plunged into destitution.They are fuelling in their level best efforts to lead a gargantuan crusade against their predicaments. They decided to go global.Now,the primary intention is to attain international recognition through United Nations to declare a Palestinian state comprising of the West Bank and Gaza.Yet,again these poor people are shrouded with jittery and fear.Fear of America using its veto power as a permanent member of Security Council of UN to dismiss their application.America,a dear friend of Israel,wants Palestine to resume peaceful talk with Israel and disagrees with the whole idea of Palestine seeking global recognition.And as we are all well-informed,this “peaceful” talk has been on-going for a long time since and both parties are incapable of reaching a consensus.

         But,scholars worldwide opine that the talk met a dead end mainly due to Israel’s unwillingness to tolerate.Plus,bringing their plight to UN’s attention would indeed help a lot.America,as a major force globally,should be able to facilitate the whole process and not interfere by using its ultimate power.Let us,mankind worldwide,regardless our differences,hope that Palestine can attain its goal by establishing its Palestinian state with international recognition and escapes from its devastation.

East And West;A Better Future Ahead

This time around,I would like to blog regarding something new and fresh.Something that describes about the insimilarity between two different regions.Something about the capability of these two power.Yes,this article would touch in detail about the Eastern and Western region of this fragile Earth.For many centuries up to this very moment,the Easterners have always looked up to the Westerners for their  “versatility,developments and lavish lifestyle”.Many people from the East would even do anything to be living like those Westerners.Inevitably,this has sparked a sense of inferiority towards the Westerners, which prolonged  perpetually through generations among Easterners.
Britain,shone in glamorous limelight due to its great Industrial Revolution.That was the headstart for the Westerners to take big leaps towards unlimited achievements.Although they managed to attain myriad achievements prior to that,the Industrial Revolution proved to be vital for them to go global in bigger scope.And then,everything started.The Western forces most notably,Britain,America and France came to the East with their well-equipped military troops and conquered the Eastern soil.Their power is apparently too big and ultimate for these Eastern forces to go against.As written in mankind’s bygone history,in South East Asia,all countries were ‘successfully’ conquered with the exception to Thailand.
            And due to the West's efforts,in the end,it emerged as a heroic icon globally.But,ironically,some of the used to be miniscule forces in the East starts to embark on a never ending journey to become the leading protagonist economically worldwide.To name a few,China,Japan,Singapore,Dubai and South Korea,are the new heroes.These nations proved to the world that the weakest would not remain such till the end.There's always a new beginning for everything.

          And that is the main idea.To become competitive in the global arena,diligence and paramount efforts matter most.There are still many nations in the East that need to find for the best formula for the sake of its developments.In this modern era,the advent of technological advancements,nations in the East should work together with the West to produce more tangible achievements.For the Eastern nations,the West should not be seen as rivals,but as friends that can help each other.Hopefully,in future,more trade relationship and diplomatic rapport can be established among these nations in spite of their differences.

"SOMALIA;THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE"

       Last Saturday,one of my best buddies invited our whole "gang" to sleep over his house since his parents are outstation for two days.At that moment,our eyes were "gleaming" with excitement,thinking about the fun that we are going to indulge in(need I remind you that we are still bachelors).But,that Saturday night turned out to be a meaningful moment for me.After watching the latest movie in town,Captain America (man,Chris Evans have a nice body there),my pal,Mark showed us a video clip shot by  his uncle during a voluntarian mission to Somalia.

       The only thing I knew was,no one uttered a single word while watching the video.Somalia,a "popular" nation thanks to the endless war and the atrocious violence perpetrated by some culprits.The scenario is still evident now in Somalia.If anyone would ask me to describe about this poor country,I could only say that"it is a nation plunged into devastating destitution".Although paramount efforts were taken previously by many concerned parties,especially the mass media,by revealling the status quo there to the global community,ironically all those efforts proved to be futile.Recently,United Nations brought up the the issue of famine in Somalia.Famine is rife there,and consequently killing many mere human beings,most notably,children who suffer from starvation.In this Ramadan month,where the Muslims call it a "fasting month",ordinary people are devastated there in Somalia due to the lack of hygiene,safety and food.

     But,the fact is,globally,many are being oblivious and less grateful with their lives.According to a research,tonnes and tonnes of food are being wasted annually by us.If we could channel those food to those in Somalia and also other struggling nations,inevitably we could become the saviour of the lives of many.People,think about it!Even though we are incapable of helping these people,we should somehow think rationally and lets stop immediately from wasting food.If you are able to help these unfortunate people,anywhere,please do your significant part.And the utmost important task lies in the hands of the world's "big shots".United Nations,World Health Organisation,America,Britain and others should fuel in the essential efforts as a counter-attack formula for this problem.Rather than merely wasting cash in useless wars,these reputable parties should lead a crusade against this predicament,not only in Somalia but also in other nations.

THE DNA OF MEDIA;RUPERT MURDOCH.

     Who doesn't recognises this particular mass media tycoon,Rupert Murdoch?This man controls the media through his ownership in News Corp,an organisation with power over 20th Century Production,The News of The World, the Sun and etc.Lately,Rupert who is well-renowned among the big-shots(including nations' leaders) found himself in the headlines,entangled in a string of controversions.It all initiated when one of his tabloid,the much reputable The News of The World was fired with multitudinous accusations over the phone hacking controversions by its reporters.Even the former Premier of U.K. was not spared and a handful of other civilians' phones were hacked.This is inclusive of a girl who is murdered not long after she was kidnapped. 

      Long before this,in the bygone years,one of his media arm,The Sun created plenty scandals including making public Lady D's secret conversation which later on,sparked on-going predicaments in her life.This Murdoch issues nowadays have become so ubiquitous,that even the policymakers in British Parliament are talking about him.Mr.Rupert,his pretty(and young)wife Wendy Dang,and his apparent heir,James were under extreme fire due to these controversions.Many in the public have even turned awfully sceptic towards any entities in the global mediasphere.Murdoch has somehow managed to shut our mouths for while,by ending the business of   The News of The World tabloid forever.But,perhaps he has still a long way to go to clear his name in the international arena.One thing for sure,this would be a precious lesson for the global media stakeholders that while delivering the recent news to the community is crucial,everything has its LIMIT!

"AMERICA,OBAMA AND THE ECONOMIC ARMAGEDDON"


       Seeing the name of the superpower economy in headlines,apparently is not awkward for many.Since the late 2008 subprime mortgage crisis in U.S.A,however,everything seem to be so common.It woudn't sound wrong if anyone says that now America is trying to heal itself from a big financial predicament as the ubiquity of "Uncle Sam's" financial problem is much evident.And most recently,America found itself in the headlines of mass media globally,for the incapability of its' policymakers to find a way to raise the debt limit.

      Obviously,America is not left with  Hobson's choice.The solutions are there,served nicely on the table for this Congress people to choose from.One,reduce budget deficit by austerity measures or also known as,spending cuts.Two,introduce new taxes for the filthy rich groups and create a hike in the existing taxes.And the biggest problem starts here.Obama's Democratic Party voted for the second while the GOP or the Republicans casted their votes for  the former.Many gruelling and gargantuan efforts were taken by many concerned parties,yet they were futile and meaningful.Although the entire world was sceptic about the situation in America(some even claimed that  U.S could be the next Greece),yet the Obama's administration proved otherwise.Just two days before the D-day or 2nd August,the Congress reached a consensus to increase the debt limit by having more cuts in spending.

     Lucky enough,they were!Yet,economists throughout the globe believe that this is not the end of America's debt problem.They still,inevitably need a crusade as a formula of counter-attack the current problem.And many financial analysts as well as these economic pundits say that the present measure chosen by U.S may not be the much anticipated measure.They opine that tax increases could establish bigger and positive implications.However,the time is still ample and America must act wise in future(besides being more prudent) to avoid from plunging into an economic blackhole!

ISLAMOPHOBIA.

Just two days ago,many parts this fragile Earth were shaken with a shocking yet suprising news.No,I'm not mentioning anything about the state of the art high-speed train accident in China.Instead,what happened in Norway(random shooting and car-bombing) was really terrifying indeed.A nation like Norway was well-known globally for its tranquil and less-crime atmosphere.But,one man named Anders Behring Breivik altered the whole scenario.This man,whom proudly declares himself as an anti-Islam agent,intends to "clear" the entire Islam community in Europe.Total ethnic-cleansing on the Islam community!And not only Breivik,there are still a lot of anti-Islam groups out there,trying to clear Muslims in whole.
      This happened,from what I believe,because of "ISLAMOPHOBIA".This particular word has spread worldwide after the 9/11,reaching people from all walks of life.And this word carries the fault for creating a sense of anger and hatred among the global community towards Muslims. And the status quo now is inevitably worrying.I,for one,believe that despite being different by race,religion and nationality,every mankind is just the same.And to hate a religion just because of the wrongdoings of some whom belong to the religion,is simply irrelevant.Internationally,in mankind's written history,the world has witnessed terrorists from Christianity,Islam and even Hinduism.But,this simply does not reflect the true identity of a religion.

     The world has suffered a lot from the previous two world wars.And I do not wish to see another to happen  just because misunderstandings among global community,comprising of diverse ethnic and religion.

THE WAR THAT NEVER ENDS.

"SRI LANKA".A small nation at the south of the one of  Asia's emerging economic giant,INDIA.One thing for sure,this small nation had made tremendous "popularity" through the war between the Government and LTTE(Liberal Tigers of Tamil Eelam).This so-called LTTE or even called as the separatist,was led by Velupillai Prabhakaran.The prime motive of this undergronud organisation was to establish two parts of Tamil-led administration in Sri Lanka.They were funded by rich Tamils abroad for their intention.And after long years of war,the Government of Sri Lanka emerged as the "winner".But,what was much evident,is the public,most notably,Tamil people in Ceylon suffered the most.Just have a glimpse at the video clip by Channel 4 and at the UN reports of Sri Lanka.These innocent people suffered for others' faults.Men were killed and women were raped.Yet,Ceylon received less global attention.WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE GLOBAL HUMANITY?

HEATED SOUTH CHINA SEA

THE DISPUTED AREA;THE SPRATLYS.
"SPRATLYS ISLAND".A name which is often heard in the media some time ago,has come to the surface again.Nations such as Malaysia,Brunei,Vietnam,Phillipines and the world's second biggest economic power,China have been "fighting" for the sovereignty rights of the island.These clusters of islands are located in the South China Sea and are really rich in terms of its oil reserves.According to a geoligical research,it was found out that the Spratlys has more oil reserves than in Kuwait itself.No wonder these countries are fuelling in their 100% effort for the rights of this island.Whatever it is,the best solution is ,the nations should solve this dispute in a very professional  and diplomatic manner.And the world's veto power like U.S.A should not interfere in the process.Yes,economic prospects like that in the Spratlys are crucial,but inevitably,good relationship among nations is much worth while.

Political Divide In Middle East.

It all began when Tunisia experienced a great anti-government protest.Later on,nations like Egypt,Libya,Syria and Bahrain were hit by the same unfortunate events.Thousands of innocent lives were lost.The scenario in these countries is suprising as the citizens are fighting among themselves.And to add the worse,huge,powerful forces like the NATO military force chipped in.My intention is not to have a recap on the whole issue,which is well-known worldwide.For me,all these political turmoil are triggered just because of one simple issue."THE LAW-MAKERS OR THE GOVERNMENT FAILED TO FULFIL THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES".Actually,this is a common phenomenon worldwide.One thing for sure,the citizens need the leaders that they chose to do their part.They do not need a leader who is just able to give a superb manifesto,but fail to show remarkable effort in his/her duty.They do not need hypocrites to rule them.Leaders,please honour these citizens whom have given you the mandate,by giving them good services with your power.Do not swindle or even end up in corruption cases."LEADERS.PLEASE DO YOUR PART WISELY"
