As time goes by all things are changing in every aspect. The world's economy, politics, social interaction, family dynamics, personal experiences are significantly changing but is it for the better or for worse? I think the most driver of all this change is technological development which has mad the world to become a global village.
Technology has grown so wide that people can freely move from one point to the other and can communicate from across the globe. Technology has just become a cause for the change however impact it is bringing.
The world politics has just changed whereby "democracy" has taken a different direction from what would be understood in the last two decades. Democracy leading the human thinking to a whole new political arena where respect for leadership is no longer the norm. It is now normal to challenge your leaders in any area perceived to be of concern by individuals for example the current "wiki leaks" from various angles.
The world economy is also drifting from one predictability to a point where no school of thought can derive any meaning from what is happening. Over the past five years some economies like Zimbabwe were said to be at the verge of collapse but that has turned out to be untrue, Zimbabwe is regaining its position on the world economy.
The social structures of the world is drifting from the known to the unknown, where it is not certain what will happen next. There wider society used to be controlled by common ethical standards like stealing is never an acceptable behaviour but today it seems to be constitutionally accepted by people especially in responsible positions.
Family dynamics have drastically moved to a level where it is becoming difficult to regain the original intended status. Marriage is never for the uncommitted, unfaithful, unreliable, unloving, without respect and no hope for the future. Family is for the sensible, reasonable, loving and considerate. It is to a safe haven for the vulnerable, less privileged, children, adults man and women. Family is never to be for torture or punishment.
Unfortunately, today family has turned out to be a place of insecurity and the family strings have been broken. There is no concern for each other. How can the family regain its rightful status? Who should take responsibility?
