The Virus to talk about;HIV

HIV/AIDS is one topic that has continued to attack the third world countries with a growing hurricane-like velocity. People and organizations have tried to bisect the real problem that is keeping people in the hole instead of pulling them out. The findings are not all that exciting because it all comes back to the simple basic issue namely lack of proper education. This piece of information is no news. It would be surprising though how 25 years a period of more than a decade could not drive the point home. It continues to disturb my mind how a few 30 million in a typical third world country would not be well informed about a menace.
Then again there is a second case scenario whereby the game ball shifts to the people now. Is there a possibility of people being over-ignorant to such a detrimental extent? Could it be that all education lands on deaf ears? Could it be that non-profit organisations siphon charity money to their own pockets in stead of carrying on their divine task of educating the masses?

In my opinion the solution lies in government action and more investment into the sector lest the rate of lives lost to the menace grows exponentially. Governments should directly provide the help needed to curb the problem not through organizations of charity because in the days we are in today you never know who is and who is not for charity.
Typical examples can be exuded from first world countries which devoted an enormous amount of funds into the education in the earlier days of infections. They turned every stone so it became very easy for them to rest unwary of snakes. The third world countries should follow the same steps although it is late. Better late than never.

Speaking of C

When we talk about going green, what do we really mean? According to my understanding that should imply reducing carbons emission at our age and day. How can we achieve this if we keep on procrastinating these issues for later dates. Why cant we be brave enough to take the costs at our shoulders and spend more to emit less C. Of course it is not in line with anything economics taught me but in making it common practice, we reduce the obvious competitive advantage that every country fears in its own different ways.
Problems arise mainly in one stage, execution. I thought to myself this is so and sure enough it would be hard to every normal man. Each country is different in its own way meaning effects of the subjects at discussion varies as we cross a border. Having so many borders to cross and in short so many differences to overcome is definitely the problem. Massive consumers of petroleum products for example the USA, China, Britain, Russia, Australia and many more would feel the pinch real hard as compared to countries that only need these products as a supplement, like most of Africa. It is very hard to try to convince the big consumers that they need to make such big steps as opt for other energy sources or even worse contribute to developing alternative energy sources for the future. It is hard in deed. Being so should we leave it until the critical point where it will be costly to even emit more carbon. Should we wait for more signs of pollution than is already available to us. Personally, i would want it to be different but mine is only one voice.
Why do we fear making the bold virgin step? Maybe we should wait...

Why not unite for the world's sakes?

Its yet another year that the World Trade talks have collapsed and this to me seems to be a tradition now. I often ask myself why we have turned into such hardliners when it comes to dealing with an equitable future. Every nation now strives to outdo the other and in so doing those with weak foundations shall continue to lure in poverty. Attention has shifted so much into strategies on how big industries can survive if oil producers decide to withhold produce, on how coalitions can merge to reduce barriers of trade. We have forgotten that in order to move forward we have to move as a team. We all know these big countries am talking about are not in the third world countries (with exception of a few). As years cruise, the exponential curve of poor countries and continents is bound to stiffen to the undesired side. The theory shall hold, the poor will grow poorer...

If no effort is made towards harmonising economic power the development we so much want can not take place because factually these countries we are leaving behind make up a percentage of the consumer population even if it is negligible for now. If we chose to go this way, we will definitely achieve a lot in the short and medium term, but what we will have missed out on is the long term. It is the long term that matters the most. The long term we should be creating for generations to come.

I tend to think efforts should be unanimous in creating a sustainable economic platform that does not choke the poor to their graves but in stead harnesses and pools their resources inclusively to design a world that is equitable and at the same time thoughtful of its upbringing.

This may not be easy but we should try harder together because we have been trying it in disunity.
