Thru Novel Lenses! New Vision New Perspectives New Ideas New Directions For the New World! Futuring Sustainable Development in the Post Pandemic Planet From Pre School to Policy Making
An advertisement by a bank sparks a letter to an editor which is published in a newspaper, released on social media and stirs and sparks a virtual racial war.
The fingers point now to a cycle of blame: Who's at fault?
Is it that the advertising agency and the bank were insensitive to the deeply entrenched racism and other historical hurts festering in the society? Was the media fuelling racism to sell a few to a gullible public who is sure to jump at the ongoing race-baiting, consciously or subconsciously perpetrated on a society that cannot rise out of the scars of the past? Each may have very sound and solid justifications on its actions, but the reality is that media, culture and gender sensitive literacy have moved to the forefront of the challenge for social literacy, virtually replacing the traditional three R's with a new one - Respect!
And we are way past the time to begin to unravel and rethread the flaying and flawed social fabric.
It points to the challenge for social, cultural, gneder sensitive literacy and re-educating the education setor ...

Now, if only there was a Nobel Prize for Blogging and/or the cannon of commentary on the modern age of which it is a part. Demokrissy leads world opinion where it matters. Demokrissy's trending at the UN, it seems.
In the days that saw the mortal exit of two Nobel Laureates of 2001 in one week, with the death of former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan who received the Nobel Peace Prize and Sir Vidia Naipaul who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in the same year, attention was turned on and tuned to Demokrissy's assessment and presentation of the impact of Nobel Laureate Sir Vidia S. Naipaul on our world. In fact, the - uhh- post mortem - on Sir Vidia's funeral has been trending at the United Nations and to UN readers. Now who needs likes and thumbs up from Facebook, Twitter, Intagram, LinkedIn etc when the reach is more targeted, direct and to the point, eh.
Demokrissy blogging won a BBC/UNESCO Communication Initiative Policy Blogging for New Media and featured in the International Seminar on Media and Agriculture with its blog, 'Growing Journalists from Agriculturalists' and short film, "Caribbean Media and Agriculture - A Marriage of Necessity'.
Kidding aside, how humbled I feel to have been within the ambit of some of the world's leading minds of our time.
