No title is appropriate to this, should i call it...What is society ?


They say : "As the eye, such the subject"Though it is subjective but very true. In fact it it society's verse quoted in proverb.The society i am talking about here is the global society, which is very open in it's thought and approach.Society is very speculative about the identity of it's people when it comes to their reputation, their financial position and the overall assessment evaluation of their general conduct relating to the individual self and the family background. Birth plays a very significant role here. Society is a keen observer of each action we perform. In terms it can be labelled as 'administrative'. This is just the major definition of society in general. Is there anything else added to it ? Not only me, 'many' do not understand or have tried to vividly think about this matter with vital importance. People who are members of a society have no concern, since they feel that they are not attached to it, so they are least bothered. But we all may be wrong. There remains a certain possibility that we should challenge the society, with regards to the role it often plays. For instance : When a person starves to death, only a couple of people i.e-The Human Rights Organisation or may be the NGO's poke in either to reap profits, or to come in lime-light by media, most often they perish without proper justification. Others who celebrate on bribe money, or prosperous birth-right have no limitations. There always exists and existed a major gap between the rich and the poor, and between the Whites and the Blacks which society can never erase or settle permanently. A financially broke person is compelled to operate because of the burning hunger inside his stomach and also when he thinks about his starving children's eyes and his family, commits crimes and due to which he is severely punished. They wish and always hope to stay away from such activities, but the hunger and the conditions are so real and pinching that they are compelled to do so. It is not their wish to indulge into violence but compulsion. The term "Aparthied Movement" is a suggestion that our society has to yet develop or multiply in terms of it's outlook and thinking, because we still have that feeling of monetary and racial differentiation in our society. Each individual in this ultra-modern society stands indirectly declaring about his designation, class and sophistication of his position. The homeless and the poor and marginalised instantly. They gradually become invisible as their position is ruled out by their own contemporaries. The rich is becoming more richer and the poor more poorer. This is a factual evidence the post-modern era has presented it's people. They are mercilessly battered to downfall or probably death. Does society have time to realise this fact ? There are billions who have been victimised or hampered by this passive pressure. Take the example of the "Black Panther Movement" which originated in the United States of America in the late 1970*s. The skin discrimination by the white supremacists were a distinct indication of a dis balanced society. The issues (Nelson Mandela, Mutulu Shakur, Gerenimo Pratt being thrown into prison, black children and women being dominated and abused are reflected in the writings of Maya Angelou, Chinua Achebe, Derek Walcott, and Nuougi O'Thungo) have been very prominently illustrated by the records we obtain from literary history(Post-Modern-African Literature. The Blacks were suppressed by the Federal authorities, the protesters thrown into prison without reasonable cause. Their leaders were arrested and the revolution was brought to stand-still. As a result of this today we find broken homes multiplying. Divorces are taking place. The educated and intellectual society is so flippant to investigate the reason as to why no proper solution is being constructed and henceforth applied. The result of this delay is serially turning the society to comprise it's own enemy. Men would revolt their own kind, the scenario would be "MAD"- Mutual Assured Death.The retaliation which society will soon encounter would be highly sensitive and authentic, bearing proportionate reasons. If we do not open our eyes to these serious and grievous issues now, and be generous and open people...in a sense a 'True Humanist' , displaying our 'education ethics and moral' not of the mind but also of the soul, then it is not very late that we will face the inevitable and unavoidable climax. That is the sadist fate. Society will then change it's direction. Towards which way ?
The alarming result is awaiting.
