What will happen if we don't think in human terms?



As of today, we live in benefit of globalization. People can easily access their homework and researches through internet, with just a click on the keyboard they can now be informed about the things others still intend to look out for by them selves. This is just one of the effects of Globalization our generation is actually enjoying and might probably eat up our economy and even our lives - world if we don't watch out.

Around the 19th century, the concept of globalization has begun. Its main purpose is to integrate countries and people around the world trough enormous reduction of costs of trade and such. It is true that globalization has done a lot things for the world especially in the economic sector. But as globalization emerge in our time we can see changes around us, and these changes are not just innovations of new technologies but ruins caused by natural calamities that are directly caused by natural calamities and indirectly caused by globalization.

Globalization is really a good thing if it is handled by the right hands and if rules are implemented to its purpose. As I quote Stiglitzs claim, he said that " Globalization did not serves its purpose instead it had increase a number of poverty in people all over the world." This is actually true if we look at the business sectors, not all of the countries are benefiting from we call globalization. This is why there must be greater study and understanding that must be taken by all humane involve to prevent things from defeating its self.

Have you ever wondered, what process our technology now a days undergo before we enjoy them inside our home? We must realize that in every technology we use (which we use 24 hours a day) we contribute to the fast ruins of our mother earth. If people don't think in human terms and everyone would just want to continue to work out to be the hegemon of the world probably all of our natural resources will run out in a nick of time. Globalization is really promising and has a lot of advantages but if we are not careful it can be cause greater problems than solutions. People must set aside the urge for power and learn to generate what we already have. I guess we must now learn to slow down a bit and save up what is still there left for us, because who knows? if eveything would continue how they are now we might probably face our own 2012 in the near future.

Why does politics turn to violence?


As we all know the national elections in the Philippines is fast approaching and from what can we see form the previous crime of all times (Massive massacre done by Ampatuan) has gravely emphasizes a very INHUMANE action. Let us not forget the trend of political killings, vote buying to the public, theft (corruption) and such. And so why does politics turn to violence?

This simply tells us that not thinking in human terms shaken the purpose of humantry. People on their own ways are acting out of the system that has been made to give peace and order to the human race. In our generation nowadays, we merely think of material thing that almost hinders us from the moral values we have. Also, aside from the basic necessities of clothes, food and such we give highly appreciation to POWER, whether in politics or in other sectors. Power is given the primary role of life. People think nowadays that whoever has the power will definitely live life to its fullest. Incapability of one to stay in a position or to garner a position will occur in the absence of others, and most of time the death of the other is the answer to this. That is why there are a lot of political dynasties and private armies lurking around because those who has them want to gain everything they have as long as they can.

Another reason would be GREED, even thought some have already attain what they wanted, they always want more and more. They won't stop until they have all for their selves alone. Thirdly, would be ENVY, they want it because they don't have it -- yet.

You may ask, is there a sense? I say yes, this is because if a person attains position in an higher office, he/she can have the authority (in approving projects that involves money) that they'll corrupt sooner or later. However, is it logical? I say no, this is because once these politicians who does violence, they'll be putting their family as well as their own safety into risk as long as they live. There will be no peace of mind left for them to have.

People now a days, tend to be materialistic. They kept on attaining things that are tangible and they no longer take care of more important intangible things. Power, greed and envy -- these are the reason why politics turn to violence. However, come to think of it it

With this, we must keep in mind how important our actions are and that we are not the only beings in the world, and no matter how we hide from IT, IT will still be able to find us back.
is not limited to politics alone but in all aspects of life.

Politics has been like this and will always be unless everyone have learned to give importance to life and not to the things that can soon run out and vanish through time.
