Situation still difficult in Burma To three months away from the cyclone that devastated the fields and crops, the fragile dwellings, schools and boats of fishermen, it seems that thousands of villagers affected has received little significant aid only and there who complains of not having had any kind at all, and the situation of the population in general remains rather precarious and sometimes without prospective, since for many it is difficult to obtain even the food to survive the day. The aid money from abroad are converted by the government of Myanmar first in a sort of certificate and then in local currency (kyat) and in this double passage seems that 25% of the real value being lost, as well as the protests of citizens for commemorations after the harsh repression in blood occurred in August 1988 would be hampered and marches of the monks in favor of the rights of the population accompanied by beatings and shooting of intimidation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 08, 2008 ![]() Olympic Censorship In China after complaints about the pollution in Beijing, which seems is not be reduced sufficiently despite the measures taken and some shower, now comes the alarm of censorship alarm for cause of some Internet sites that deal with human rights (choices somehow seems agreed with the Olympic Committee), but should stay during the games the right to freedom of information for Western reporters. Intensified also the control of the Chinese authorities on the movements of protest in favour of cultural identities and minorities in Tibet, an issue that had mobilized countless people for the preservation of a patrimony of traditions known worldwide, which have become almost familiar thanks to their strong symbolic characteristic.. extremely simple and fragile, which risks being overwhelm from lifestyles distant from the natural rhythms of life and failing to meet their global balances. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 31, 2008 n°: 740 Children thirsty and filed The scarcity of clean water could be responsible for about 22% of diseases for young people (aged under 14 years) in the world, the most exposed to malaria, dengue fever, diarrhoea .. caused by the decidedly poor water quality also visibly and lack of storage points adequately cleaned. Another issue related to distribution seems to be able to depend on the corruption of bureaucrats that "govern the taps" especially in the poorest countries of Africa or because of mafia that controls all water resources as happens in Bangladesh and even in these cases children have reduced opportunities for access to clean fountains. Regarding instead the living conditions of the nomads in Italy and especially those younger and abandoned to themselves (often forced to live on gimmicks) made to discuss the decision a sort of filing through fingerprints and photos marker as small criminals. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 27, 2008 n°: 719 Ethics little healthy It is lifted the tone of controversy about the case of so-called "horror clinic" in Italy and the investigations were extended to other institutions with very little ethical aspects and apparently repeated violation of the first rule salutary valid in practice for many areas: "primum non nocere" (above all not to cause damage), favouring profit at the expense of the health of patients. Prevention is the first therapeutic presidium, but if is necessary it should be possible to rely on good care, attention and hospitality (..religious, without inappropriate references), take advantage of technological and scientific upgrading, in many cases almost an utopia for structural deficiencies and distorted economic logic. The health-based industrial model as the assembly with spare parts to be replaced at any cost and recycle is far from the needs of individuals seen in global manner especially if the operations are unnecessary or planned to earn as much as possible. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 12, 2008 n°: 707 Difficult help for Burma and China The situation in Burma after the cyclone that has shake the territory and has caused the reaction of disturbances in the external supervisor that has been able to observe from the situation from a helicopter, would seem 78000 the people died, 56000 missing, hungry population and difficulties both in bringing aid both in the management of relief for cause of the condition of stress that has affected most of the staff trained to operate quickly, but which is now tired failing to recover the psychophysical energy (and calling for the intervention of international organisations). In China the earthquake that has caused more than 60000 deaths also raises other questions about the safety of dams, nuclear power and for the criteria construction of many large buildings.. without considering the relief to the people badly affected, so that the Dalai Lama has recently decided to suspend demonstrations in favour of Tibet for at least a month as a sign of solidarity. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 23, 2008 n°: 691 A discrimination climate Climate change taking place on the planet could lead, or probably this is already happening, to discrimination situations among populations affected by the consequences associated with the increasing of the prices of essential goods and the difficulty of using tools which allow the survival, and populations which can easily to face and overcome difficult situations, but with the consequence of achieving in this way a kind of small part of the world characterized by fenced areas that stand opposite to large areas of deterioration with uncontrollable migratory flows and difficulties in the dialogue between the various ethnic groups. The continuing rise in global temperatures caused by human activity is slowly changing the ecosystem with tangible consequences not only for human populations, but also for the whole natural flora and fauna with effects that could be in some cases little evident without having a broad overview of the real situation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 19, 2008 n°: 688 A cyclone shake the Burma The climatic conditions in some areas of the planet remains a concern and this time to make the expenditure is Yangon and the entire Myanmar invested from the nth cyclone which caused over 60000 deaths, two million of evacuee and hundred of thousand of homeless pending of the international aid, all this at a distance of time relatively short from the hurricane that has caused severe damage in Bangladesh and subsequently with the finding that the monsoon season in India would be modified in relation to the normal natural rhythms that have characterized the cultivations and the crops. A cyclone is formed for cause of a depression in a specific atmospheric region, for which are generated of strong winds coming from surrounding areas characterized by greater pressure and tend to head towards the centre of the cyclone where occurs rotate clockwise in the Southern and instead counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere, and this sort of vortex moves often in unpredictable manner. - The real situation in Burma and the figures of what now can call a real disaster are still evolving from the moment that many areas have not yet been reached by the assistance and it is difficult to obtain a reliable budget of the situation; moreover, there may also be the risk of another cyclone from the moment that in the Bay of Bengal can be formed two "peaks" in the monsoon season (while the military junta attempts to reassert its power). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 10, 2008 n°: 679 Hungry planet The alimentary resources in some states begin to really become insufficient and the grain prices, cereals, rice, soja.. are outside control from the moment that the markets do not succeed to limit the oscillations that tends to determine continue rises of the quotations (and also the oil has caught up new records); moreover, this situation of disequilibrium provoked from the climatic changes could provoke of the conflicts for cause of the protests of populations reduced to the hunger and to the consequent risk of the several pathologies. As an example in Darfur it seems that just these unfavorable conditions aggravated from the migration of wide masses of population and from conflicts of ethnic type have been taken place, considering that also in Sudan some year ago it makes beyond two million individuals are remained without house forced to abandon their lands from problematic tied to the drought, scarcity of the harvests, diseases; but this escape towards near countries has determined one tension situation provoked for the fight for the control of all the resources. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 19, 2008 n°: 669 Tibet and olympic torch Continue for Paris the way of the Olympic torch in run to stages hindered to London from manifestations that in some way have collected the appeal of an aid to the Tibet, launch, from the Dalai Lama the 29 March for cause of aggravating of the humanitarian situation and the hard participation of the Chinese government with numerous arrests (and perhaps victims) to Lhasa, with monasteries as that one of Jokhang encircles in order to avoid that the chorus of protests can reach the world (..a repression of military type all adding similar to that one that is happened in Burma). The Olympic torch risks to become instead of the symbol of the peace, that one of the rights of the minorities treads and of the Tibetan protest; in fact, the "cultural genocide" operate from the Chinese government with provisions of colonial type turn out enough documented even if don't lack the affinities between populations apparently distant, but joined in the mantra of prayer of the monks. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 07, 2008 n°: 651 Martin Luther King to favor of the not violence When it is spoken about not violent attitudes and engagement in favor of more the weak people often is remember Martin Luther King, killed 40 years ago in 1968 to Menphis from presuming killer that after conflicting and suspect declarations it was killed in jail (after that had decided to reveal the name of the true guilty. a yellow that still make to discuss). Martin was born to Atlanta in Georgia in 1929 in one rather religious family; in fact, the father pastor of the batiste Church and the mother teacher educated it in the respect of the Christian values, and later on also the preech of Luther King saw joined religious values to those beloveds to the not violent movements, in favor of the respect of the civil rights and against the racism that a part of the society relegated in the ghetto of indifference. Famous it is remained the maxim: "I have a dream".. a species of vision of fraternity between people and a hymn to the love, against the injustices and the arrogances (as an example in the comparisons of the racial segregation). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 04, 2008 n°: 656 Meditation and society * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
