hink of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?" The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride! No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was wide.
Will we learn from UK's social policies?
London: "During the evening rush-hour, a man was fatally stabbed just outside a fast food restaurant. Scores of tourists and shoppers fled in panic as the man collapsed in a pool of blood. This was just one of four series of stabbings during 48 hours of bloodshed in the British capital. Sixteen-year-old Jimmy Mizen died after having his throat slashed in a baker's shop, becoming the 13th teenager to be killed in London this year.[...]
So where has all this anger come from? British society has undergone a radical change in the past decade, with an influx of immigrants from all over the world. There is a lack of social cohesion in communities around the country and Cindy Butts from the Metropolitan Police says there are numerous reasons for this... "There are lots of socio-economic issues - Poverty, family breakdowns, absent fathers, school exclusions, and what I call not just material poverty, but poverty of aspiration," she said. "Some young people feel they don't have a place in this society. They don't have aspirations, don't have sufficient role models, and those are the people who are really vulnerable to negative influences and to the very criminal role models that are in their communities."
London's newly-appointed deputy mayor for young people, Ray Lewis, says this societal breakdown has been a long time coming."
It is no secret. The UK is suffering from a lack of social consensus, not due to one particular group or section of society, but due to poor social design. The fanatical dedication to an economy which is seeing the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer is a significant factor. Multiculturalism is also an important factor: the cramming in of different ethnic groups (including Anglo-Saxons) with different values and takes on life under the 'one' banner. Pluralism is another and is accelerated by this multiculturalism, seeking in principal to turn public society into merely the place where the masses interact for material sustenance/daily survival and which promotes no higher set of shared goals among people. This can be called neither culture nor 'progress'.
