The World's Social Status

Jose Antonio Ocampo,Under Secretary General of the UN department of Economics and Social affairs introduced a new report"The World Social Situation:The Inequality Predicament" on Thursday,25 Aug:2005.
The Highlights of the report are as follows:
1.Globalisation driving inequality.
2.The World is more polarised today than it was 10 years ago.
3.Most pervasive form of inequality is gender discrimination.
4.Alarming increase in the discrepancies between rich and poor,rich have become richer and the poor even poorer.
5.In Sub-Saharan Africa,90 million is the no:of new people who are now facing the status"Poor" in just a decade.In Latin America in 7 years(1995-2002) unemployment rose from 6.5% to 9%.
6.Afro-descendent population earn an average of 35 to 65% less than white man.
7.Less than one billion people living in the developed world using 80% of World's domestic products,while remaining 20% is shared by more than five billion people belonging to developing nations.
8.The progress towards the UN's"Millennium Development Goal"(MDG's)is very low.
The Under Secretary also told the reporters"Failure to address this inequality predicament will insure that social injustice and better living conditions for all people remain elusive...............that can lead to further social instability in the World for which every one will have to pay the price".
This report clearly reveals that we,the mankind as a social being are not improving our social behaviour and structure with the time,we are just in a "still" position.
Our global social structure and status cannot be improved by the acts of formality,there is a need of a revolutionary step,a step that creates a peaceful,global wave of sincerity and sympathy,this wave again cannot be produced by our governments,huge bodies like UN or social sector NGOs,they no doubt can make things better,but for a major change in our social behaviour worldwide a long,dedicated and genuine effort is needed by those who really believe in simplicity,sincerity,unity and "respect for life".
This is the law of Nature(proved by history),this is the call of the Time.

New Chains of Slavery

The Dark Continent,facing a new shape of slavery,the "Debt Slavery".In the poor African continent,33 countries are the victim of the category of HIPC(Highly Indebted Poor Countries),presently burdened with more than 300$ billion in foreign debt,a huge amount impossible to be paid for next half century by poor Africans in their present socio-economic status.
In recent meetings of G-7 in London,steps taken to provide"debt relief"to Africa are termed as "historic opportunity"by the rich leaders,it is not as such in fact,only 14 African countries will benefit by cancellation of a 40$ billion debt,owing to World Bank,IMF,and ADB(African Development Bank).
In reality,Africa in spite of all such "historic opportunities",efforts like "live 8 concerts",progressive plans by United Nations Economic Commission,is dying under the huge debt burden.A very simple step for saving lives in dying Africa can be"provide aid for the"poor" and not for "gains".
