Apologies right in the beginning for missing out on posting my blogs during the last two Sundays. Travel commitments prevented me from sending you my thoughts. Hope the following three posts will make up.
How does one look at the broader philosophical issues that the Arab Spring may have raised for the worlds’ citizens? Should the movement be restricted to a region of the earth where there has been some move to restructure the concentration of wealth and political power in the hands of a minority? Isn’t it true that wealth and political power and affluence continues to be concentrated with a minority of citizens world over, including those of the so-called western democracies? If true, shouldn’t the Arab Spring expand into a World Spring in terms of a good debate amongst the rulers and the ruled world over? And how does the world organise such debates across different socio-politico-cultures?
Some food for thought, say what?
