HUMAN MARGINALISATION.



                                Racism, ethnocentrism and social stratification have always been a sensitive topic with no conclusive debate to provide an answer to resolve it.
                                Feeling cheated, under-priviledged, stigmatized and stereotyped because of our nationality, race, gender, religion and physical attributes is not alien to us. We still find ourselves in unavoidable arguments to prove our worth and correct any misconceptions & stereotype about our race, family and religion. We point out reasonable facts and situations that shows that we are not as bad as we are perceived.
                                Frustrations and anger is usually a common emotional conflict we battle with when our rights are trampled upon. When things don’t work our way, we are swift to point out that we were not favored because of our sociocultural differences which are sometimes true.

THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE'S OPPOSITION (PT2).

              The word "opposition political party" we are all fretting over is just a mirage to me. There is no opposition as the current government is dominated by people from the preceding government/administration. When this political immigrants then starts blaming the previous government for the economy's deterioration, I begin to wonder why no one realise that the blame is actually addressing the speakers.
               Getting engrossed in fighting the government we don't want in power or political opponents that we don't notice that those we should be fighting instead of ourselves and interests are still the ones in power but under a rebranded political party/agenda.
               Our blames and tackling the government/opposition can only be effective when we divert our agitations into removing corrupt, unproductive government and replacing them with competent, honest and dedicated leaders irrespective of their political parties.

THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE'S OPPOSITION (PT 1)

               Everyone is trying to keep up with the fluctuations in our economy. We are all trying to gain our balance and market values with the change of government we face presently. We need to find solutions to this economic meltdown before it melts out our existence and sadly I am just an individual with no political experience.
              Achieving economic stability has become a motivation for some of us to rebrand ourselves for a better value of our services while some of us are still absorbed trying to trace the source of our socioeconomic disequilibrium which has led to a lot of political and physical assault on the opposition and person to blame.
             Identifying the source of the present economic destabilisation has resulted in opposing effects on the masses. The knowledge of the cause has been a guide for government intervention and this knowledge has also fueled unending blame cycle rather than action in some regions leading to further deterioration of the economy.
                                  It is not unusual for government to announce the state of economy they take over from and briefing the masses about how changes will be achieved. The unusual thing is that the government blame all the failures/stagnancy of the economy on the preceding government without executing any action to correct it. This blame cycle is even worse when the preceding government is from an opposing political party but the interesting thing about this blame cycle is that we operate an open political system and political aspirants can move freely in between different political parties without restrictions. This freedom of association in political parties and interest only leads to rebranding of corrupt leaders as they wreck the economy under the preceding party and move to the new party masquerading as saints who may surprisingly even criticise the administration of the past government.

TOO YOUNG TO DECIDE.

         As despicable as it is, child marriages/paedophillia is very common in our societies even with strong criticism and laws enacted against it. This disgraceful act is usually accompanied with child slavery and trafficking.
            Even as I write, I have tears streaming down my cheeks and feel this soul crushing pain that makes one empty because I know we have not able to stop these abominable act. Those who should be advocating an annihilation and punishment for violators are even those engaged in it.
           Statistics gotten is not enough to determine its occurrence because most people affected feel too helpless to report or seek justice. Cultural influence and stigmatisation is a steady fuel supply for this wild fire burning and scalding human dignity.
            Every country has its unique legal age and this legal age may even be the genesis of our problems because even before this age, children seek independence over actions but puberty is usually linked to this behavioural change which I partially agree with.

CUSTOMER CARE SERVICES.

        Nothing is more infuriating than getting substandard service for your money and effort. Simultaneously, nothing may seem more gratifying than walking up to the customer service and giving them a piece of your mind. This criticism, verbal assault we give them at the customer relations centres has caused fued on if it is the right medium to express our discontentment.
        Nobody likes to be insulted neither do we like to take blame for the action of others yet we can do this to the customer care officers who may have little or no influence in the services we pay for. We yell at these representatives of the service we received and expect them not to argue or may even demand an answer depending on our values.
   
  Expressing our thought,anger and dissatisfaction about a product/services is a good thing because it enlightens the company on their deficits, motivating them to work harder.
