PaxDeficit

The world is in a Melee.
Globalization is the topic of discussion. And
even amidst the turmoil and confusion, proponents and combatants alike have failed to realize the incredible deficit that has been created by some form of collapse in every world society in the last decade, which negates the functionality as well as any complicity for any form of globalization to be effective.

Our anxieties and wants have ridden ahead of us, not to scout out a course of action or to look for a foe, but rather to show our absolute inequities and ineptitudes. If there is a globalization process with any functionality, this is what we as ‘Human’ have accomplished.

If there were a plan as some have speculated for globalization to come about as some beast or Leviathan, we have succeeded in setting that plan back at least a sesquicentennial just with the devices of our anger and obstinance.


We, as almost every culture on earth, have adopted a sort of view that says “We must be governed”. Is this a reality? Some would argue against a notion that at least one person must have the right to our every ‘freedom’ in order for the chaos to stop. With this argument comes the notion of manipulation and consignment. So who will it be? Who will define the citizenry? Will it be Mao? Gorbachev? Blair? Bush?
Or will it be some sort of Hydra that exists for our containment? One to whom we can bow to - a bailiff that transports us to the better place? And who will own the Hydra? Or will it be nothing more than an etherium that the nonspiritualists have concocted?

Where will we fit as human? Who’s concept of the Global Community accords everyman his freedoms? There is an awful amount of anti-American sentiment coming from every quadrant of the chaos. Have mistakes been made? Probably. We will always have those. Every generation has its sentiments. Every generation believes that they could do better or are doing better. This isn’t a phenomena attributed to any social class or defined by longitude and latitude. It is the tenacity of Human to succeed and procede.

What globalization offers us is an evolution. Can revolution work? Sure Stalin for one accomplished this. I am sure that his idea of class structure and civilized community was his idea of the people themselves being happy, clothed and fed. But globalization has the earmarks of being an effort. The effort is to eradicate the deficits.
Can our effort lead us to a point in the “Collective Human” where every being will look every other being in the eye and if not hold everything that that being stands for at least equal if not before the desire to be? Will every communication be in accord with an equal estimate of self and the other?

Communication and technology have played an incredible role in the globalization process. Without it, Indochina and America alike would not have had the recent windfall that was viewed from one end of the globe to the other. It seems that there is a dichotomy between becoming closer geographically, and retaining any kind of nationalistic view or identity. When a person sells a product or sends an electronic communication from one end of the globe to the other, those players shorten the distance between our selves.
We are no longer an American or a Tasmanian but some outer-worldly other. The culmination of everything that we as Human have strived for. Neighbors yet strangers, retaining and re-cultivating some fraternal bond which creates an identity as a whole, but retains the ability to still say ‘I’.

There are those that believe that the spirit can reach and search the eternities. And that by doing so can cultivate and evolve into what the answers would be. There are those who don’t believe in spirit. They will also contrive the answers for the better being.
But only in time.
And only when it is absolutely necessary.
Out of necessity and the demise of deficit will globalization give its rebirth.

Globalization

Mortality and Post Cold-War Thought

I believe that Bush and Kerry did the right thing in waiting until the next day to solidify the math on the election. Both Leaders were doing what was necessary to maintain stability in a time of adversity. If I didn't see so many Cold War tactics being used with the situation surrounding Mr. Arafat... I would think that They were just trying to maintin the stability in a time of adversity.

Balkan Crescent Punch

I am seeing maybe a few similarities between how kosovo was handled and how Iraq was handled. Can we create order out of chaos?
