In logic,, you learn if A+B=C then, B-C=A. The point is that a premise does weird thigns. It dictates the following behavior. It is sort of like DNA or like a code. You must revise that premise if you wnat a different resutl. Oftenitmes peopel lose sight of what their original premise was- Sometiemes that is good , sometimes that is bad. Rememebring everything at all times is not always productive. Yet when things get out of contro, such as they are now in the world all over, it is imperative to review premises of each country.
So what are the premises necessary to analyze? Through recognition of various factors, such as greed, such as hypocrisy in foreign policies, or internal turmoil, we must ask, whatever it is we as humans are moving toward now, was it the same then? (When the premise was created) . For example, was it the same in the beginning days of the coloinal period in the US or the beginning days of the Conquest period in Mexico=== Were the mentalities of the governments aimed in order to have a globalized, getting along, co-existent world? Or was it about securing Things, getting things, advancing concepts, dominating in order to suceed? The practice of coexistence is a new one. We should admit that - To begin that is the most important thing. WE can no longer lie to ourselves , such as those in the US who wan to go back to a stage in history tha tnever existed or those in mexico who wan tot return to an era of peace th tnever existed. I say it isnot about going back,l Yes it is time to review! I agree whole-heartedly, b ut only to have the courage to move ahead then. Withthe ideas of the youth.
An excellent article on the premise of Europe in the World is well outlined in this article of arabnews.com titled, Europe threatening the world again. For this writer to make these analysis, he used history to undertand wht coould possibly happen now. Tha tis waht we all need tobe doing. And we need to shuffle up ourt history with the perspective foa few other societies. Particularly societeis that have been oppressed by Europeans. It is obvious tha tnow is the time to reveiw all thtat was oppresssed and let it flourish . That means some Euiropan values will have to be tamed. Teh greed, teh attitude that as long as you produce you can enslave peoepl, all those ideas tha go agianst the current trne dof liberty, the ablity to make onwp´s own, and equality.
Those ideas are better addressed, (yes! they are addressed) by oppressed cultures. They hAve had timE to reflect on the need for liberty in a way the oppressors, i.e. europeans have not. So we should listen to them at this time for solutions. Looking to Europe is ridiculous. It´s Stockholm syndormy and that is weird.
Just to think of how Latin America has gone through so many peridos od conscintization over liberty fromo colonization. This is somethign teh US has never gone through excpet a thebeginning inthe Independence stages. yet becasue of teh mixture fo indigenous and Europan in Latin America, teh libertyof the indigenous has been a fight all along. Teh US sort of cut titself off fromthsi process thinkign gettigin ahead woudl be easier this way. Yes, They did get ahewad easier wihtout the natives. however, today should´t the countires who didn´t kill off the natives and tried atleast abit to conserve their philosophies, sprotualites, adn mreo iomportnatly their lives, the lives thay had devleoped fro centuries prior to the arrival of Euirope to America? Should´t that battel speak for itlsef? And isn´t it itme now in this day of globalizatioin and wha tnot, adn searching formore world order, tha we integrate, FINAKKY, the poiint of view fo the American continet to the world theatre?
Believe me, after this we will not have the problem of the ugley american and we will not live anymroe wiht the fear of the US military constant intervention to the livelihhood of otheres. WE willlern to share resources, to give and take adn to not repress others becasue otheir color or their belifes. We msut ask oursleves why di we repress peoepl for their beliefs and why dop we accept ah tsystem inteh wordl today still? thsi si s addep and loaded question but it has to be put out there: BEcasue we live wiht hte hypocrisy of beign pro ethinic sutff, of visitng little ethnic touwns in mexico but do white peoepl reallyw ant to see cahnge of the overll system?
I think the youbg ones do. I htink it isnice to give and we woudl rather be on an equal leverl iwht other human beings than trying to dominate and take fvromthem and keep them in miserebale cicrumstnace sby being domnant.
