For Wintermute, those university students holding demonstrations on campus asking for more academic freedom, are also a bunch of Marxists--well, whether or not he/she understands what that term(Marxism) means is not at all important, as long as it can instill fears in you.
Wintermute,
The most dangerous activity in my country is the authority's continuous engagement in: firstly, closing down its people's minds, and subsequently, churning out those closed minds into its society.
Wintermute,
You're quite right in saying that. My country was more advanced, in terms of socio-economic development, and in terms of standard of education as well, than many other countries prior to and during the early days of its independence. It was more advanced than South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan..just to name a few; as we know today it's no longer the case. What makes it so ?
Sorry, I mean "shine", not "shone".
Thanks Wintermute !
But the claim, "Diversity is chaos" seems hard to hold water if we consider USA as a prime example of a country characterized by diversity--in terms of its many ethnicities, cultures, languages..etc.
In many instances during the course of its history USA even deliberately 'imported' diverse composition of immigrants to its country. And this policy of "adding flavor" is even more prominent when the country is experiencing slower economic growths ( as a way to rejuvenate its economy.)
Of course not every part of the country is equally diverse. But the important fact is: the more diverse the place is, the more vibrant its economic, cultural and intellectual activities are: California and New York, especially. It seems, "Diversity is Strength" is not a myth after all.
By the way, "chaos" is a term we use to describe a particular state of affairs or situation at hand from which we are unable to, or have not been able to, find order. The fault is often in us ourselves, who lack the ability to make of the situation; and not totally in the situation itself. When I look up, I see chaos in the sky. But to the astronomers, they see orders even in the outer space.
CHINA is racial normality. America was formerly somewhat similar.
Blacks and Arab Religious Nitwittery engender chaos.
