Recently we have seen three african states withdraw from the international criminal court. this is because of culture clashes that lead to clashes with laws. truth be told, there is logically only one right person in this clash, but, who is right?

The people of the west like to push their version of what is right onto others, seeing themselves as the leaders of the world, yes? this is because the people that listen to them are looking to be great like them, but, when it comes to 'being right like them' they defer to other activities. due to this reaching out the west thinks they want their rules, they want their wealth and weapons to win wars with, not something you cannot use yet.

The more civilized the world becomes the more they will adopt the laws of the west, due to 'relay laws.' this is to garner support from the west, it is like complimenting someone on their dress at a function, yes? this is natural, to become like 'the leader,' but lately the east has risen to become their own masters, like india and china. these two huge countries have so many people they have at least a third of the world inside of them!

So, why does the west want everybody to be like them? it starts well, but ends with changes that some people do not want, of course. this means the minorities will suffer, due to 'lack of representation.'

If you were having a republican get together, something nice and kosher, and some people arrived that out numbered you, and they want to party hard, surely it is your right to tell them to sod off, yes? this would mean that there are some entities arriving to party in africa, and upsetting everybody - look to asia minor, they really want america gone, of course.

Now, if the world comes together, there will be constant arguing. the politicians are always academics, except for the presidents that are always war heroes and so forth, or, popular people with little to deliver with, usually. this means that we are having a person 'from the country' being told what is going on by some academic - they are worlds apart. when it comes to actually caring about people, sure, they might have a case, but, i mean without really feeling it, they would have an uninformed opinion and position to declare on, yes? this is like a baker with a degree walking into a bakery and trying to handle finances with the customers without knowing the price list - he is only taught how to bake, for a start, yes?
 
Then, comes the aspect of privilege. this makes us apathetic for some reason, as we lose touch with the world the less we worry about how to earn the things we need, and start to think only of ourselves. let us see if we can find out why people with privilege lose touch with others?

I have worked with white people, people of color and black people before. i know even a native with privilege will lose touch with the troubles of others - it seems the poorer you are, the more loving you are, for some reason. this must be because of the shared problems you have, the need of a loving society that listens to each other that keeps people in touch with each other, yes?

Of course, the less together with others you are as a 'survival scheme,' the more you will worry about yourself. this leads to personal relationships taking over, not worrying about how a friend will make it through the month, but rather how to impress or lead your group of friends, yes? as they fall by the way side, the privileged will obviously feel some attachment to them, but will not go as far to help them as a poorer group of friends, of course. this is because the privileged will lose touch with them, being numb to the group as they put themselves first, without thinking of the bonds they have made. of course, they will really love their family, like everyone does, as they are part of their world, and will worry as much about them, as, they are in their house, and whether it is the result of duty or a different fantasy they have with their kids, they do look after those that are very close to them.

So, the more money you have, the more you worry about yourself. think of presidents that throw soldiers forwards for small things they could negotiate their way out of? they could always make concessions, but seeing as how one side at least will not listen, they are also classed as privileged, obviously.
 
I would now like to put into a title a view of mine - "the naivety of the west versus the reality of the third world." this is about the way people live in the cities of the first world and the views they take - they think everybody must live like them, as it is the right way to live, as they are right. on the other hand, in the third world they live like their forefathers, more religiously, with more interactions and more understanding, listening in fact for a logical way out of their ordeals while at the same time looking for resources for themselves. often there is a clash of morality and needs, in the third world, as there are ways to secure resources immorally, and, if your stomach is empty, you seek to fill it any way you can, of course.

So, how easy is it for a college student in america to say something must happen, then hope the authorities make it happen? sometimes they will protest and try to force a change, and this is obviously good, to be involved marching for the rights of another. this is empathy. if they were to tell their leaders to make changes, that is also easier said than done, as, there are resources to be shared out to affect these remedies.

Then, they say that those people are backwards. this is trying to change their culture, and, as i have said before, there is no porn in the third world to speak of, none of the really sick stuff you find in the west, and there is more empathy in the third world, as the people find strength in each other instead of secluding themselves in their fantasies about 'power and wealth.'

Something they have in common is 'love of sports.' this is a global love and obsession, which brings people together. this shows that people will, having everything sorted for their own culture or region, revert to the same wants and needs, yes? how about nice food - everybody loves eating cake, yes? this brings men and women together, as women globally live their lives around men, as, this is like a status thing for women, who is an alpha male worth talking about, and who is with them.

This means that there needs to be some new, slow, legislation in the third world, helped along by the first world. they must understand what they are protesting or talking about, and this calls for some observation - why do they do these things - not just calling something that looks like a duck a duck, it is not that simple.
