Action and reaction

Posted in Uncategorized by jotl on January 21, 2008

At best capable of handling all manner of empirical forms of data, and at worst more likely to project delusions of grandeur about it’s status in the modern world; the Media in whatever country, or indeed from any national perspective is agonisingly extreme in the way it carries out the business of reporting on events, often pushing for responses to the most controversial of subject matter.

Indeed, the consumption of many kinds of informational materials now available on the Internet to a global audience, is thought of as possessing the widest reach imaginable to wholly diverse readerships. 

Not every news item viewed on television or printed in the daily press will always carry the same degree of momentum as only as few examples might achieve. 

Corporate news agencies are becoming evermore stylized in how they present and deliver headline stories to the public.  

A strongly derogative term as ”Trash Culture” is an example of how both the esteem and emboldening of ideas, designed to make strides towards modern archetypical development, can become hugely undermined by by people who give fly-away remarks,  holding to negative preconceptions.   

Whereas, historical references relevant to the socio- economic disparity internal to sub-sections of communities rest upon the guaranteed eradication of a Wefare System and firm improvements in a Employment Market which does otherwise cement unfairness.

Ouintessentially, it is language that creates the political world around us.  Although mainly considered as a passive feature relative to overall human experience, the use of specific phrases which possess evocative sentiments, can ulteriorly lead to the radicalisation of individuals, who also share in kinship to a particular minority group.  

Polonium -210: The Russian/Anglo Dispute.

I am here this afternoon wanting to discuss with you the piece reported in the news on the Alexander Litovenko Murder Case. The British Government require a certain Mr Andrei Lugovoi, for immediate extradition. This happening is neither here or there in my eyes, it is a request, it will be either permitted or not, no problem!

But what I do query is what exactly is Britain hoping to gain from the venture it has undertaken in defence of wanting to see this situation proceed further.

To be honest with you, the politics that goes on within this country is primarily Westminister-based and co-ordinated, with an English approach to politics being passed-off as British overall. Britain is a very segregated society where the gap between rich and poor is lengthening year by year.

I am becoming seriously cheesed-off with how many of this country’s citizens get associated with events tied up with how the British Government operates, as we the public travel around the globe as tourists, not otherwise involved in any area of cross-national affairs.

If you wish to contact any British Embassy Official to complain on how this matter is being dragged out.

School Shootings

Posted in Uncategorized by jotl on January 16, 2008

Most opening lines to the subject of violence in schools, albeit about the carrying of knives or guns, would outrightly condemn perhaps an educational authority on the basis of being irresponsible, in respect to it’s poor reactions to threats pronounced by students who have some kind of grievance with significant adults within the learning environment.

If for example, a school has a failing academic performance level or a reputation for being in a bad catchment area, then one ramification from the circumstances; might be that the students themselves may not care about their life chances or either about the importance of educational attainment.

Whether or not, we can say that individuals who carry out these atrocities do harbour opinions and beliefs that border on displaying support for anarchist philosophy could be hard to decipher, at this stage of enquiry into the phenomenon.

Indeed, very few juridical studies have really managed to “hit the nail on the head” when any examination of the motives and psychology of these random perpetrators comes to light. Often when these kind of incidents are reported upon, commentators are only able to remark upon the need for schools to improve upon widely their security systems and methods.

The use of a screening approach, with recognition given to respecting the value that “Student Profiling” has, leads me to conclude that a full re-evaluation of not just the issue of safety requires an overhaul, but that our ideas concerning Rights and Liberties deserves for definite a better health check.

Kenyan Civil Unrest

Posted in Uncategorized by jotl on January 4, 2008

Over the recent period where Presidential Elections have taken place in Kenya, the severity of the violence and disorder notably being broadcast in the media to other regions of the world, will undoubtedably reflect badly upon the status of Africa as a continent. 

With the active participation of crowds of opposition supporters, protesting against the inauguration of Mr Mwai Kibaki as president, the speedy acceptance of the result by members of the Electoral Commission, might fairly prompt other National Governments to bring into question the validation over how Federal procedures and systems of administration are accounted for. 

Known to be of Kikuyus tribal origin himself, Mr Mwai Kibaki, is accused of concentrating too conceitly on allowing for the appropriation of both political rights and privilages solely being given to citizens who are ethnicly adjoined to his own tribe.  

Alongside of this accusation, there are demands being levelled at him to be exemplary as a head of state, and acknowledge the need for a measure of exclusivity to be promoted throughtout the entire social spectrum. 

As the nature of this constitutive spasm has shown, based on what people might have thought was guaranteed leading from their judgement; the witnessing of such forms of anarchistic belligerence, has esculated exponentially in a major humanitarian crisis.  There are 180,000 people reported to be displaced since the offset of this upheaval. 

The Orange Democratic Movement, with Mr. Raila Odinga as leader and Presidential candidate, has remarked on how  the monopolising of political power and enterprise within Kibera and Nairobi by the Kikuyus people, has helped to serve none of the other 41 tribes living in Kenya. 

Whether or not each standing candidate promised something in effect of initiating legislative change while out on campaign; any statement uttered by either one of these two hopefuls to bring change and development, for the purposes of securing improvements in living standards, certainly did achieve lifting people’s sense of optimism from two major perspectives.

The first being that with the requisite democratic mandate, the offsetting of political and constitutive restructuring would be so wide-ranging as to give the population living in both the rural and urban areas of Kenya; a clear impression that moves would soon be underway towards introducing reform.

Secondly, that people were of the understanding, and enthusiastic about thinking of their country making  representative and democratic transitions in all good faith. Elevating their regard for National Identity.

Any knock of confidence prior to majority votes being registered, especially on the basis of appealing to consensus opinion,  are definite factors which can simultanously lead to the accumulation of tensions after the release of  public announcements or broadcasts.  In fact, it would not be surprise to hear the violence and pandemonium which ensued afterwards was triggered this way.
