VIP #1: IS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM DATED

In university, the way that they teach politics is that there is a left and a right. This is what is referred to as the political spectrum in political ideologies class. In their attempt to teach such concept to students, they intrigue them to align with either side. Left means communism followed to the right by socialism and then liberalism in the center which is then preceded with conservatism on the center right and then fascism on the right. It is clear that these ideologies contrast one another. In the universities attempt to teach these concepts, students fall into the trap of aligning themselves with one. But I think there is a new form of political ideology that has not been yet explored. This is because it is difficult to categorize. Hear me out. This belief likes parts from the left such as the welfare state and free medical care and parts of the right which prefers capitalism and the military. Is this the future of politics? Picking and choosing? I believe the only solution for political scientists is to individually vote on each policy that are enacted. Voting on each policy can improve political participation. This could allow politicians to not be stuck following one ideology. Of course, voting on each policy would be tedious and expensive but, perhaps we could find a way to implement this. Maybe having an online platform so people can vote for each policy could be a streamlined way of enacting such process. Imagine, that the liberal tears AKA Justin Trudeau is thinking about making university free for all citizens. What his party would do, seeing as they are the government in power, is go to the computer and create a poll so that people can vote on it. This would increase the adaptability of our political system and allow for increased political participation. Having such online platform can lead to an informed public.

Should Canada have a computerized voting system to vote for each policy?

SOCIAL: THE RACIST INTOLLERANCE

Is the lefts intolerance to free speech racist in America?  Well, yes an no.  For something to be racist it requires an individual from a different culture to some how be discriminatory to another person of another culture.  So therefore, that who is of the same culture as another and is causing discrimination is not racist but rather causing a tort nuisance.  But we as Canadians or any other culture for the matter, observing Americans and the way they communicate and our intolerance to some of their peoples abrasive ways can be considered racism.  Wait a minute, hold that thought.  This is because it is part of the American culture under the first amendment of their constitution and they are entitled to this privilege.  We Canadians or other who criticize the American ways of rough communications are actually being racist when we do this.  Our intolerance to their banter is racist.  Our constant judging of their manner is really disapproving them and I quite frankly find it offensive that our people could be so racist.  We publicly say, passive aggressively, “that’s not how we do it in the north,” with little disregard or consideration that our statements could be considered racist even offensive.  This is what is called prejudice.  Leftist countries act like they are so self righteous yet none of them have considered that their simple judgements are actually racist.  I believe in free speech and for those that don’t recognize their own racism, I am truly sorry.

SOCIAL: SIDE OF SCIENCE

The scientific view on humans is that we are all animals. Biology classifies each living thing into categories. The way that science has organized living things is a distinction of our intellect. We are able to think with our minds and logically come up with explanations in which could solve our societal problems. This is also the feature that us humans have rationalized as to the decision of whether life is considered to be valued. We are the only creatures on this planet that have the faculties to be able to think that one person ending another’s life is wrong. We humans, have become so sophisticated as to base our entire society on this principle. Our logic distinguishes us from other species in this world. And life, as a valuable commodity can open many doors. We humans, like animals band together to form groups with similar interest. I feel that our roots as primates give us a lineage of human development. We should therefore cherish our backgrounds and accept that we are first human and second animals. I side with the scientific view that humans are animals, for if the scientific establishment gets derailed we wouldn’t have the progress that we do today. We also do share common traits with animals such as instinct amongst others. Therefore, I urge be weary of your animalistic instincts as these lack the logic of the faculties of our mind and thus can cost a life.

SOCIAL: SOCIAL ETIQUETTE

When we communicate and build relationship with others, it is such a satisfying feeling. We cherish these feelings for our entire life time. But lets talk about those who are left to fend for themselves. Those that we forgot along the way in our journey to accomplish our aspirations. Lets talk about those that we may not necessarily like. I think that communicating and developing relationships responsibly should be everyone’s priority. This involves being a certain way. We must keep our discretion when we are out there in the places where people socialize. Although we don’t like a person and we may say negative things about this person to our friends, we must maintain civility. To do this we need to exhibit social etiquette. You keep face by being kind and helpful to a person when directly speaking or communicating with the person you dislike. You at this moment need to keep your biases in check. Ensure that these don’t interrupt your thinking and communication. You need to realize that being alone is a risk and that it is dangerous. Therefore, although we do not like a person, we must always ensure that they are not forgotten and left alone. We must always be responsible and remember what our sergeant says, “no man left behind.” This saying goes far beyond its initial meaning and we must be socially responsible in our actions ensuring that we maintain social etiquette for those that are left behind are at risk of danger whether its danger from themselves or others. We need to look at the bigger picture and realize that each and everyone of us has a place in this world.
