THE WORLD IS NOT FLAT
The world is small now but its not flat. The fast growing internet/communication has bridged the gap. It has crossed over even the sempiternal boundaries of Atarctika and Sahara desert. Globalisation has obliterated demographical boundaries. Albeit all this has effectuated in abrupt socio- economic change but it NO where concludes that "THE World is Flat". Just IT , outsourcing (BPO,KPO etc.) can't lead to flatness.Physically flatness means where one could see in other's eyes without any deterrence and could walk in shoulder to shoulder with others. In context to world politics flatness is function of capital and power. These factors reside with only few developed countries. Today world is devided in two. Pro USA and non-pro USA nations. By bearing 21% of total expenditure of UNO, US holds authoritative position. US rules over world under the cover of UNO. All world policies are inscribed in favour of few ones.For instance arrogation of Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebnan etc are few examples. Sometimes they absolve the situation like ostracize of Talibans from Afghanistan and dethrone of Saddam's aristocracy. But on lucubration one would find that all these were not just acted to bring calm and peace. Its aim was to intimidate countries which are trying to go against USA ,legally or illegally (It doesn't matters) and to hold strong position on oil basins(energy sources). On one side nuclear tests of Iran and N. Korea are described as act of terrorism and on other side USA is not ready to recognise the Pakistan's abetted terrorism against India. The world has been under " war of attrition" with terrorists for decades but still its definition is not yet unified( even some of terrorists developed under the supervision of USA during cold wars to de-escalate USSR). Whatsoever all this has ruined many innocents. Causualities in wars like this appalingly include large percentage of childrens(who r said to be the future of the nation).So how can one think of flat world with such offensive position of USA and its subsidiaries like U.K. Apart from centralised power the economic gap between developed and developing countries still exist. Though globalisation has proved avant garde in ITs and outsourcing, sectors directly affecting general masses like agriculture and manufacturing are still in dark.New globaliation pact of WTO contains many vile recommentdations which would just aggravate the situatoin. Bridge gap b/w two(developed and developing nations) would widen. Childrens are still drying of hunger and starvation. 40% of world popullation still living in slump. WIth so much contrast how world is flat?. World can be flat only when our ideologies match, we all work together for the welfare of mankind. But is all this possible in this prerogative world?
