THE RURAL WIDOW'S SURVIVAL, INDEPENDENCE AND EMPOWERMENT

What’s Up?

Though in several local communities the widow is forced to live under situations which can be easily categorised within servitude and modern slavery dimensions through which she is bound to face discriminatory widowhood practices and which becomes a major source that inflicts poverty on the poor woman and her orphaned children, still very limited community efforts are engaged to combat this development flaw.

• Can we say the local authorities or community people are ignorant of their silence and deeds or they are more comfortable to watch widows and innocent children suffer?

With the understanding that rural development expectations in the domain of food production depends mostly on the ceaseless efforts of rural women, these inhuman widowhood rites still deny them rights to own and possibly develop their late husbands’ property such as land.

• Can we say the men-only egoistic wills and greed to perpetrate such widowhood rites are geared to increase starvation and poverty on the weak or is it the dangerous illness of ignorance?

Times have changed, people should evolve get connected and be informed about the value of rights over rites. Gender equality and the contributive efforts of women towards sustainable development is a very pronounced agenda on a global, national and local level and thus:

• Why do we still need to protect customary values that out rightly deny the development rights of potential development agents such as rural widows?
• When such cruel practices are perpetrated within communities who are those with the responsibility to sanction the ills?

What’s Down?

Knowing very well how greedy human nature can be and which makes it very difficult to completely stop surviving relatives from scheming to reap from where they never sowed or acquiring the left-over property of a defunct man from her surviving widow and orphaned children, there is obvious need to enact enforceable legal dispositions that protects the development rights vulnerable community widows. There is also need to create and train local community based ombudspersons’ groups which are networked with a wide range of international, national and local civil society and government partners. In the process to ascertain that all the potentials and development efforts of the majority of local women who are obviously widows are engaged in expected local development orientations:

1. What is expected of the traditional rulers who rule such societies those chronic perpetrators of cruel widowhood rites?
2. What is expected of the local government authorities that govern over the people and traditional rulers within the societies that perpetrate cruel widowhood rites?
3. What is expected of partner civil society supporters of the rural woman’s development rights?
4. What sort of strategic networking and influential support needs to be given to community ombudspersons’ groups that investigate, assess, solve and report recalcitrant situations of cruel widowhood rights infringements?

The author, Dr. Kelly NGYAH, within this literary piece, strives to explain and respond to some and more of these questions especially with respect to need to sustain the development potentials and needs of vulnerable community widows. The value of the rural widow, though while facing hardship is elevated and she gains enlightening insights towards effective solutions to her subsistence worries.

MAHSRA also indicates that it is presently undergoing a series of research works on gender equality intervention schemes and best ways for integrating pragmatic gender equality policy development and direct peace activity growth within local, national, intergovernmental, and international frameworks. And thus, is highly soliciting support from the public.

THE MAGIC OF UPLIFTING: Rich Internal Flames

True Wealth Magic

What’s Up?

It is very obvious that human beings have for long now sorted, and are still seeking to understand how they can gain wealth and internal peace at the same time. Some have traveled wide and far, some have joint countless number of societies including recognized religious groups, demonic sects and other herbalist (such as ‘ngambe’) arenas while, some have stayed un-moved believing in their so-called ‘lucky stars’ to arrive, all in the quest to obtain wealth in which they still believe will be the source to their happy life. These are very wonderful undertakings which demonstrate the true spirit of hope and believe within individual human beings.

However, when all these hopeful energies are directed in the wrong path, should we still regard it as positive hope?   

Why not!! exclaims Dr. NGYAH, ‘when we seek very hard we build our existential energies towards moderation and empathy, when we constantly fail but yet ceaselessly continue to battle for what we believe in, we demonstrate the power of faith that exists within us’ and when we pay attention to the voice of nature and the value of ethics and moral truth, we become very diligent, immune to evil and unshakable on our path to success.'

How many people who seek wealth, no matter where, can adhere to these mentioned values?

What’s Down?

Obviously, the human rush towards obtaining a wealthy, stable and peaceful life has so much distorted true reason and the sense of authentic human existence.  Sometimes one begins to wonder:

Are we really sure we know what we are searching for or are we just still very excited like wild animals which will do just about anything for fear that another animal may caged it someday if it has not yet caged that animal in the first place?

Verily the author induces, ‘we are only deceived by our own greed and egoistic imaginations that’s the reason why even after we have made so much fortunes, we still cannot have a full night sleep, neither are we truly loved by our entourage’.

The vices of life are caged within own ignorant conception on existence and our own rebellious human proclivity nature that refuses to listen to the voice of reason within our individual consciences, as such, no one but us have cage ourselves towards our own doom.

Is there a way out of this dilemma?

Of course, the Dr. ejaculates, ‘Us and only us are the masters of our own life-paths, if we choose to live a life of inspiring happiness and joy in the form of uplifting, so we will have it but, it we choose to useless the authentic values for consuming our brief lives, so be it. One thing for certain is that, because people are ignorant about many things, their primary crimes have always revolved around ‘psychological prejudices’ against those who have experienced and are knowledgeable about much more. There is absolute magic in living an uplifting life both within the material and spiritual perceptivity.  

What then can one do to live this magical uplifting life?  

Simply, the author’s ideas continued, it only suffices for an individual to truly and authentically seek within his/her intrinsic self to find answers to the following questions:

1. What am I and why do I exist as a human person amongst many other human beings, as well as, what is my duty to self and the other human people I see?
2. Do I understand true moral ethics and the philosophy of karmic laws?
3. Do I really comprehend those issues or activities that give me internal joy both within my person and to the eyes and feelings of any human third party, and am I aware of the futurological energy investments which are engaged at such moments?
4. Do I have any barriers (including religious and practical obligations) that should hinder the practical ethics of living an inspiringly happy and hopeful life?   

While this book opens the individual’s cognitive discerning upon several self attitudes and aptitude building for uplifting moments, it as well acknowledges that the true and complete answers to all the questions are found within the individual.

INDIVIDUALITY AND CRIMINALITY

Major Root Causes to Conflicts

What’s up?

The worries about the individuality concepts are severally listed from immorality to highly depraved and egocentric human proclivity and individualistic will drives, assessed within several criminalization measurements. These of course, are contrary to the most essential values of human existence as a collective phenomenon. As such, the self-centered or egoistic individual phenomena would be deemed regressist to modern human development prospects that seek solidarity and community in first place. This also makes individualism an inter-personal conflict promoter within the society.

1. If this be the case, could we therefore be implying that, the individualist values of liberty and freedom within the normative standards of human or individual rights are contradictory presuppositions in modern development paradigms of community and solidarity? 
2. If it still be the case, why is it that, precepts from the individualism conception are constantly used in shaping most, if not all human development perspectives?
3. In reflection to individualism’s conflict promoter opportunism and criminality, could the values of individual liberties, freedoms and rights be blamed for modern barbarism or ceaseless inter-human conflicts or, could they be praised for mechanizing human beings into modern development machines?

What’s Down?

Though individualism precepts have been harshly criticized to inculcate significant incentives for human moral and co-existential destruction, it however, still forms the basis of most highly rated human and economical development perspectives. As an example, globally,  the speedy and exponential growth of most private economies have been strongly promoted by individualistic existentialist business approaches and, even the establishment of the universal declaration of human rights is founded on the basis of a liberalist individualism prospectus.

1. What could be an ethical approach or reason to such a regressist, and at the same, progressive value of the individualist conceptions?
2. Competivism can be acknowledged as a trusted agent of individualism, yet, its influence fosters collective development, though from individualists angles, should we therefore regard individualism as a catalyst factor for collective growth? 

However, individualism, though presented as a counter human solidarity growth concept, if properly merged with the collectivist theorems, it may be the most enlightened route to an expedite human development process, both in the economical and human dignity prospective.

CORRUPTION: Things Falling Apart

Corruption Burns Your Soul

What’s up?

Through an assessment from a number of contemporary perspectives, a generalized conception of the phenomenon of corruption portrays it as a sort of evil and ethically derogatory influence on the human being and his/her environs that leads to destruction or regression. This entails that the majority of human societal actions causing degeneration on cherished societal morals and peace, may have their root causes from corrupt acts.

Also, from an inherent consensus that convicts all human beings as born culprits of the crime or offense of corruption, it becomes plausible that we all, are bound to live with  the corrupt nature while, only fairly striving to accept and adhere to the anti-corrupt models within the society. 

1. Can we really identify any major societal ill or conflict that does not have any linking causal roots to the phenomenon of corruption?  
2. Is it possible for us to deny our true selves in order to adapt to morally modest societal standards?
3. Within both moral and physical perceptions, in what ways can we identify with the conceptive impacts of corruption?
4. What will be left of the society when such a barbaric conception of corruption is made manifested within such a society?

What’s Down?

Despite the fact that corruption is being maximally criticized from several perspectives and considered the as a societal ‘evil’ which impedes development and destroys the ethical values of proper moral conduct, some writers still argued that, it also has a positive development scope which have been necessary for the economic growth of certain countries and the facilitation of complex bureaucratic proceedings. In focus, Daniel Kaufman’s central theme of the ‘grease-the-wheels’ argument claims that bribery may allow firms to get things done in an economy plagued by bureaucratic holdups and be a way to get around tax and regulatory burdens.

• If corruption, therefore, at one instant become a positive aspect to facilitate economic processes, then, why is it widely classified and generally addressed with a bitter amoral sensitivity reproach?
