Diverse events, constraint of the self

Technology in Media has revolutionized the world. More events are highlighted, a concrete picture of the world might be emerging and people are now being made to shun their nationalist identities and become globalist in outlook. However, technology, although opening up avenues, has made individuals perplexed. Believing an event, making sound judgements are all thrown out of the window due to the explosion of media caused by technology.

Democracy has existed primarily on account of sound judgements that citizens make. Now, Technology has managed to perplexe them with information overload. The example, although subject to narrow-mindedness, could be the low voter turnout in the west. The Apathy that has resulted from this perplexity is indeed damaging the western psyche. Although, it is said that Liberal democracies tend to take freedom for granted, it is not advisable in this stage of time.

Terrorism and its repercussions are calls for an active media to shun commercialization and wake up. It is also time for the Citizen to realize that many things should be looked at critically and balanace out with his own pre-suppositions of an event. The final part is indeed contradictory, for it may involve Pluralistic and diverse media.

This situation is such that solutions might ultimately be contradictory. One source of information is indeed bad, and without information, Citizens are left in a dilemma and may enhance the process of stagnation. This is the constraint of the self, where-in the individual is unable to do anything on his own initiative. Technology has resulted in this perplexity, and the thorough belief of Plurality in the west makes it impossible to be flexible.

Citizens have to get above these constraints. Their demand, backed by strength in numbers and various divisions in society can get rid of this constraint. But, to do that, the first initiative must come from having a clear mind and focus.
