Globalization: A New Form of Colonization – Part Three
Friday, November 25th, 2011 6:05:01 by Yasir HashmiGlobalization: A New Form of Colonization – Part Three
Continued from the previous part …
Since 9/11 America has imposed war on terror on the rest of the world and they have adopted the strategy of convincing their own people through the media and then they are able to portray their self-made picture to the rest of the
world and that is how they made ground to attack different countries like Afghanistan and Iraq and now Pakistan and Iran are in their hit-list. Since 9/11 they have successfully conveyed a message to the rest of the world that Islam is a barbaric religion
and most of the Muslims are terrorists.
I believe the argument presented above proves that one cannot rule this world through weapons or ammunition anymore but the real power is the power of media and communication and the one who is able to communicate better and conveys his/her point of view
in an effective manner is successful and that is how the west (specially America) is controlling the world.
America is the strongest country of the world at the moment because it is the one which is controlling the media and that is how the US and its allies are influencing the rest of the world. All the big mass media organizations are
based in America and that is why they just present the perspective of America or the west. The information from them is coming towards countries like us but are we able to communicate our point of view to the western countries? The answer is a straight “No”.
America influences the economy, culture, education and even the military power of so many nations. Which proves that all these countries including our mother land ‘Pakistan’ are colonies of America and the US and the west are using
us for their own advantage and they can impose anything on us whatever they want to. We are completely dependent on the west right now and it would be hard for us to survive without their aid. So we can easily say that yes, globalization is the new form of
colonization.
It is very easy to criticize or to have a debate about an issue but the real question is that can we do something to make ourselves independent?
To be continued …
