A Frail Economy Raises Pressure on Iran’s Rulers

The news slated in New York quantify dated February 3, 2008 regarding gas shortage on a very common c obsolete winter days of modern Iran is a manifestation of the growing diminish of local government insufficiency to regulate multinational corporations.Irans inherent gas shortage became a crisis when Turkmenistan, to the north, cut off supplies in celestial latitude over a pricing dispute. Iran does not have the refining mightiness to meet its own needs (Slackman 2008).Irans leaders became vulnerable when its cities experiences blackouts and homes left hand without heaters for days and weeks. Women and students being arrested, magazines publications being shut down had questioned the stewardship of the Iranian hot seat by its religious leader. This is such a bad time for the in convent president racing a March 14 election when the cities atomic number 18 in chaos.The event that is happening with Iran is an example of an economic crisis being encountered worldwide. However, i t is humourous because they seemed not to get hold of what they have, they export oils which run electricity just due to market trade Iranians are deprived of what truly belongs to them.Equitable overlap of wealth seems to have been neglected instead capitalist instigated a uttermost return on investments. Political elites dialogue on revolutionary ideology and seemingly accept defeat that running a country kindred Iran is difficult (Slackman 2008). This is something we fear about, a kingdom divided among them cannot thrive. History keeps repeating itself, civilizations ends when a place is defined only by individuals.As for now we cannot target our fingers on anyone but it is good to analyze where the culprit came from. What is happening in Iran is a consequence of globalism. The same way as it affects the Ogoni tidy sum in Nigeria and the rest of developing regions and poor countries of the globe. For these reason a 20/20 hindsight vision must be implemented between capit alism and equality. For it is an old idiom that the ends do not incessantly justify the means.Radical and extreme solutions may be imposed by the governance to solve the crisis but the magnanimous question is whose governance? For a country whose people are algophobic of retribution, these pious poor may be found stiff at peace(predicate) one day.Some contemporary forerunner of anti-globalism is Manfred Steger, the author of the book Globalization A New Market Ideology. He pointed out that influence of supranational bodies decreases the ability of governments to regulate capitalist or multinational corporations. As of now litre one among the 100 top corporations of the world are the wealthiest multinationals. These companies are funded and support by the WTO and IMF.Steger also discussed in his writings on how the protagonist of this coating uses these new market slips for the acceptance of the general public. It is purely hedonistic in culture wherein equality is subject to a chosen hardly a(prenominal). He state that globalization is globalony. It is nonetheless the civilization of consumerism wherein market trades or trends are preferable more than the benefits of mankind. This scenario limits the choices of man which is not only derogatory but depraved to the free act of man.Owen Wiwas brother Ken a medical student was hanged when he lead the people for MOSOP a movement for the Ogoni people for endurance in 1990 against Shell Corporation. It was a battle of removing the oil extraction and refineries which was a detriment to public health and safety. Today the refineries were gone except for the pipelines and people which ended up of not getting paid.Anyone or anything that gets in the capitalist was must be extinguished or removed at either costs. Owen now continues what his brother have started and talking to some young students taking up law that ten years from now they may be working with these excessively large corporations or with thei r governments, he asked them that they could make a big influence and by then it will be up to their scruples if they will choose to protect the benefit of man rather than the veridical things which must only be used to benefit humanityity.Equality is difficult to cook when the least is put aside. The world will seem to be an pipe bowl of struggle of the fittest that only the strong can command and will live.Weve always knew that there is no equality when there are prejudices. If the giants remain and we accept them to take over the rest, what would our society be in the next few years? If our technocrats and legislators only think of the future of these wealthy corporations disregarding human values and dignity, how much sufferings would be encountered completely over the world?This attest generation must be concerned with the upheaval of this new trend Globalization in the cloak of consumerism and materialism, capitalism versus equitable distribution of wealth, and the be fuddled of dignity of labor. In our own ways we must scrutinize how we hold back our daily living into the use of these material goods. Do we became enslave to them or does it help to serve mankind? Our proposition must always be that man lords the earth and not enslaved by it.We need to bond powerfully with one another against any corporate rule that is inhuman and besides greedy. Like Steger and the Wiwa brothers we must struggle too in putting our vanquish efforts to see to it that the goods of this earth are equitably shared by all races of mankind. We must stop all efforts which sponsors expensive armaments in support of terrorism and enriching uranium plants for the so called peace purposes.The planet is not yet too old, it is only beginning to see the next third generation of the winged technology. We hope to see a better world where everyone has the chance to remediate his ways and live life to the fullest.ReferencesMichael Slackman 2008, A Frail Economy Raises twinge on Irans Rulers, New York Times, Electronic Version.
