Think, Reflect And Act III (Globalisation & Multinationalism)
One often wonders, what is going on with an individual, family, country and the world. Inspite of the fact that every one of us is working hard, we neither have peace nor harmony nor security. The answer is construction, maintenance and destruction controlled by the three trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. So long the things are natural one can accept it hands down, but when it the creation of our good friends, it needs some reflection.
For economically developing system, economic poverty is the cause of most of the evil. To remove the evil, every one of us works and struggles and is capable of making a good and better living for himself and his family, for no body consumes the entire product of his hard labour. However when multinational T.V. and media network makes one aware and tells about better living, he takes loan and multinational banks provide that unhesitatingly.
From loan he buys products to construct a house and make a good and better living, which is envy to your neighbour the product are ofcourse supplied by other multinational corporations. To maintain the product and run it, he needs power and communication networks, well there are several multinational corporations entering into collaborations. If there is any dispute of power failure or non payment of loan one can always have multinational law firms to help them.
Now that one thinks that he is having a good and better living, he has multinational drinks and multinational hotel chains to drain his earnings or if he does not do it, there are multinational operators to drug the new generation. Then we have wars and multinational terrorism to loot away his hard labour, which has transformed into wealth, which in turn has transformed into goods and products. On destruction he gets multinational aids or multinational sympathies.
Wars and multinational terrorism are all inevitable part of the same networking. The terrorism may be in form of invaders like Mohd. Gauri or Mohd. Gaznavi or British Raj or Bombay blast, the result is always the same, the ancestral accumulated wealth which gives the necessary security and confidence is lost and every new generation has to start de nova with a sub conscious and deep sense of insecurity, competition and frustration and the family or nation never develops only the struggle continues.
We are all wrapped up in a cobweb game of multinational economics. Some people/ nations make more money at the cost of others, exploit others, loot others or otherwise do not allow their development and call themselves developed and super powers.
