Where to Start!
Cruel incompetence, The fundamental flaws, obstacles that need to be given priority by those in the media that actually care enough to get off the fence & do their part to set the wheels of change in motion.
Many of the world’s most serious problems, Wars, Starvation, Energy Crisis, Social Injustices, Rouge Dictators, Political Blunders, often have a common obstacle in the way of the global efforts needed for their solutions.
Our Leaders & those who have the power to influence change are extremely inefficient in doing so, they often lack the relevant experience & therefore are rarely together on the same page to begin with.
Its like attempting to build a house with random people, instead of employing a skilled team, just imagine the inefficiency & squabbling!
I'd like to see changes in the way we approach politics, especially at the UN level. I don't trust the idea of the charismatic amateur. I want my politicians to have a good all round knowledge of the way the world works before s/he is allowed anywhere near political office. And i'd like this verified, whether it be through, Proof of study, Relevant life experience or passing a test in 'ethical standards & aptitude' for politicians.
It seems strange to me that we expect professional expertise at the level of the individual, but at the societal level, we rely on the "charismatic amateur" to settle international disputes that could lead to civil unrest between races or even war. We entrust countries and their peoples to the care of politicians who may know nothing at all about political history or the ways societies function. It is felt that their very amateur status is a good thing. So an ex-maths teacher may suddenly be in charge of foreign affairs. S/he may know nothing at all about the countries of the world, their traditions, their cultures, their histories and yet we trust such a person to recommend a course of action in often terrifying situations where war may be the outcome if (avoidable) bad decisions are made. I find that scary. By analogy, it is like asking a witch doctor to perform a heart transplant – nowhere near qualified enough! No matter how charismatic he is, or how big of a following this has brought him/her.
Why not set the wheels in motion to make all would-be (major league politicians) study politics and societies and current affairs in the world before they are judged competent to seek office. Is that really such a bad idea?
Personally i think one of the most important changes that could take place in the 21st century, would be to see it been made a mandatory requirement, that politicians have to study human and social interactions. Therefore gaining the fundamental qualifications that are most relevant to their vocation before standing in a major elections; for example a qualification in the understanding of social conflict, or at least the study of one or more of the social sciences would be a step in the right direction. Its a shame that a doctor has to study for 7years before becoming qualified, if he makes a mistake killing someone in his carer, he's in big trouble!... Yet a politician who can mess up society, inflame racial hatred' start wars displacing hundreds of thousands of people, needs no qualification in the field of understanding people. He can even be elected upon charismatic ability alone. All too often with little accountability to mach the scale his mistakes...
To make the real & lasting changes that are needed most, this is what we need to address first....
