Globalization: A New Form of Colonization – Part Four

Globalization: A New Form of Colonization – Part Four 

Continued from the previous part …

Yes, we surely can but right now we are so much dependent on west that it might need a big struggle to come back to the right track. First of all we need to change our own mind-set because unless we realize that we have to go back
to our roots, we cannot come out of this hole.

I strongly believe that any nation which forgets its roots cannot prosper because a tree can be as strong as its roots are. We have to identify that what is our identity, what is our culture and what are our moral values. On top
of that, it is extremely important for the third world countries to realize their friends and foes.

It is about time that Pakistan declares educational emergency in the country work hard to promote literacy in the urban as well as the rural areas.

We have to make ourselves stronger through having a very strong structure of media so that we are also able to communicate our point of view to the west and we can have a horizontal flow of communication.

At the present moment, no Muslim country has a major news agency. All the bigger news agencies like Reuters, AP and AFP belong to the west; as a result, one should not be surprised to see the vertical flow of information in the world.

Globalization has a number of positives as well but the stronger countries must realize that there is nothing wrong in an open economy but it does mean that they can play with the cultures of the weaker nations, who are struggling
because of one reason or the other.

I strongly believe that most of the problems in the world can be dealt with if we have an even flow of information because in that case the general public of the more stronger nations like America can hold their rulers and the government
accountable. Apart from this, different nations would be able to promote their cultures rather than only the western culture. After all the real beauty of this world is in having different sort of cultures in different parts of the world.
