“Happy” Soldiers in Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy Is Still Meets Uncertainties
Uploaded on July 23, 2007 by The U.S. Army
In the news a copy of the Pentagon survey gauging the impact of repealing the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell ban on gay soldiers serving openly in the military has been leaked to the Palm Center research institute. Defense Secretary Robert Gates strongly urged gays and lesbians to participate in the survey in a press conference Thursday and assured them their identities would remain private. His remarks came after the Service members Legal Defense Network, a gay advocacy group, warned that gay solders could be inadvertently ousted and discharged from the military by filling out the questionnaire. So long as the Don’t Ask policy remains in place, the group stressed, any soldier telling the army that he or she is gay might be vulnerable to discharge. Still, the questions on the survey are noteworthy for not assuming that the military’s gay ban will be repealed. One question reads: “If Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is repealed and you had on-base housing and a gay or lesbian service member was living with a same-sex partner on-base, what would you most likely do?”
The struggle over admitting self-acknowledged homosexuals into the armed services has something to do with the nature of the military but a lot more to do with the nature of homosexuality. It strikes me as a battle over assumptions: whether homosexuality is chosen or discovered; whether it can and should be “cured”; whether gays are predatory recruiters for their “lifestyle”; whether it’s sound public policy to enact statutory protections of gay and lesbian rights in housing, employment, inheritance law, admission to the military, etc., and thereby to foster greater tolerance and, eventually, social acceptance of homosexuality; whether gays and lesbians can be good parents; whether the notion of same-sex marriage cheapens and undercuts or compliments and complements the male-female variety; whether the effect of the gay sensibility on politics, family life, theater, films, the arts in general is malevolent or positive, or both, or neither; whether, psychologically, homosexuality is an aberration, a basic flaw, or simply a difference; whether, morally and ethically, homosexual love-making—men lying with men, women with women—is perverse, repulsive, evil, or merely a sexual variant, in itself neither better nor worse than heterosexuality; and, finally, whether the belief that homosexuality is of its very nature a social disvalue, a psychological aberration, and a moral evil is founded on sound, time-tested personal and social values or is rooted in inherited bias, personal ignorance, and/or homophobic fear.
The fact of the matter is gay or not they are first and foremost citizens of the United States with the same rights as any other citizens. More notable and commendable is the fact that they choose to actively offer their lives for their country as soldiers. Could any country ask more of its citizens? Disturbing is the fact that those who are “witch – hunting” gays would no so readily commit themselves to their country in the same manner.
Dog Executions: Is It A Necessity or Pure Brutality?
Uploaded on May 31, 2008 by y-its-mom
An age old question that has been pondered time and time again and will still be asked for years to come is whether animals and humans are the same or different. The reason that this question is inquired about so often is that humans have been able to survive and thrive, partially based on their use of animals. In the past century many more people are questioning this practice because it is the trend. First we fought for the rights of man, then for the rights of African Americans, and then for the rights of women. We have gained rights for the disabled, the mentally retarded, and even the criminals. Now we are fighting for the same equal rights of animals. Recently teams of veterinarians and police shooters have killed some 58,000 stray dogs in and around the Iraqi capital over the past three months as part of a campaign to curb an increasing number of strays blamed for attacks on residents. The Baghdad provincial government said in a statement released Sunday that 20 teams have been moving around Baghdad and the outer-lying districts daily looking for and putting down the dogs. The operation, which was first announced in late 2008, only truly took off this April after funds were allocated for the project.
The surge in strays — estimated by provincial officials to number around 1.25 million — is ironically linked to what officials say is an improvement in some elements of daily life in Baghdad, a city that for seven years has been struggling to return to normalcy after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein. The main concern involved is Rabies. It is a viral infection of animals that can be transmitted to humans. It is caused by a virus of the Rhabdoviridae family, which attacks the central nervous system. The virus is usually excreted in the saliva of an infected animal. Rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms or signs appear. Rabies can affect in any warm blooded animal (domestic and wild). In the Philippines, rabies has been transmitted to humans from the bites of dogs (98%) and cats (2%). The virus is usually transmitted through the saliva of infected animals, most often by a bite or scratch or licks on broken skin or mucous membrane, such as the eyes, nose or mouth. In very rare cases, person to person transmission has occured when saliva droplets were dispersed in the air.
Some claim that Animals do not have rights in the way that humans do. Animal welfare means that we recognize that animals can be used for reasonable purposes, but should not be abused. While some go as far as argue that humans warrant extensive individual rights but animals only has modest rights. Thus the question is was that slaughter or an act of communal protection thus justifiable? In time perhaps or morals and views may provide a solution to such a dilemma.
Catalan People Protested For Greater Regional Autonomy
by Paco Rivière
In recent news More than a million people gathered Saturday in north-eastern Barcelona to demand greater regional autonomy for Catalonia and protest a recent court ruling forbidding this prosperous region from calling itself a nation. City government spokesman Manuel Campillo said police had counted 1.1 million people at a vast rally that filled Barcelona’s major Gran Via, Diagonal and Paseo de Gracia boulevards. Rally organizers, Omnium Cultural, calculated attendance at 1.5 million, spokesman Daniel Jove said. Spain’s courts recently granted sweeping new powers of self-rule to the region, but on Friday its highest court ruled that the country’s Constitution recognized Spain as the country’s only nation, dealing a blow to efforts by Catalonia to assume that status.
Perhaps at no moment of history have the Catalan peoples been at such a historic juncture, in which the analysis of our self-determination was the most certain window to guarantee our survival as peoples, as society. Self-determination has been an eternal dream of our communities. Some, because of geography, and also organizational structure, have succeeded in maintaining a certain margin of this self-determination, which has always resulted in a tense relation with the nation-state.
But is autonomy a proper and sufficient tool to embody the Catalan idea of self – determination? We encounter this self-determination more clearly in political matters. Our communities have been organized in such a manner that they rely on very precise and crystal-clear forms of participation. Self-determination involves the struggle for control and a voice in the key personal decisions that affect the individual. On its face, guardianship seems to be antithetical to self-determination, as it tends to shift the locus of control from the affected individual to a legally empowered agent (the guardian). A number of countries have adopted new legislation in recent years to minimize the use of guardianship, to impose only its least restrictive alternatives, and to introduce other innovations. This paper sketches those developments as well as related legal reforms in personal supports that enable people with disabilities to obtain companionship for support and other discrete forms of assistance.
The responses to these demands have been quite varied, ranging from complete denial (through ignoring the demands, or repressing them) to trying to accommodate them to lesser or greater degrees. Often considerable conflict emerges before an accommodation (of whatever kind) is worked out. In order for these conflicts to be resolved, steps must be taken to address the desire for self-determination. At times, such conflicts have been resolved through secession. In many cases, however, this is unnecessarily extreme and impractical. Thus, self-determination efforts that involve breaking up a state are still generally viewed unsympathetically, especially due to the fear of setting a bad precedent. The grant of autonomy and the balanced exercise of the right to self – determination is the best path for two peoples, two nations that have been a single whole for sometime.
Construction Of Barriers Separating Palestinian Towns Has Started
Picture taken by Justin McIntosh, August 2004
Israel’s Separation Barrier, dubbed the “Apartheid Wall” or “Berlin Wall” by Palestinians, has increasingly attracted international media attention, largely due to the hard-to-ignore scale of the project. The most obvious historical parallel to the barrier is the Berlin Wall, which was 96 miles long (155 kilometers). Israel’s barrier, still under construction, is expected to reach at least 403 miles in length (650 kilometers). The average height of the Berlin Wall was 11.8 feet (3.6 metres), compared with the maximum* current height of Israel’s Wall — 25 feet (8 metres). [*it is not clear whether the shorter fence sections, about 6 meters in height, are first or final stages in Israel's construction of the barrier.] Israel’s barrier is therefore planned to be four times as long and in places twice as high as the Berlin Wall. Photographs of the barrier available on the wire services show two main types of section — a wall made of concrete or concrete/fence combination, and a fence-only version of the barrier. Some references in the media suggest that the two main forms of the barrier correspond to differing levels of implementation of security by Israel, with the wall sections reserved for areas perceived as “especially vulnerable”, the fence sections for areas less so.
Recently Israel has started construction on a new section of its West Bank separation barrier that Palestinian residents say could sound a death knell for their hamlet. The barrier, running much of the length of the West Bank, has already disrupted lives in many Palestinian towns and villages in its path. But it threatens to outright smother Walajeh: The community of about 2,000 on the southwest edge of Jerusalem is to be completely encircled by a fence cutting it off from most of its open land, according to an Israeli Defence Ministry map. In community psychology there are three main factors that constitute the highest stressors which affect people psychologically. These are: Lack of social support systems, Limited social relations as people are confined to their homes — every town and village is cut off from the other and completely isolated. There is disintegration of family and social relationships and Unemployment and poverty.
Discrimination, feeling alone, isolated with no support, no education, academic problems including illiteracy, occupational problems including unemployment, and housing issues such as inadequate and unsafe homes are a result of displacement and oppression. With these social problems comes psychological trauma and symptoms. With walls such as this In the words of Robert F. Kennedy: “We learn, at the last, to look at our brothers as aliens, men with whom we share a city, but not a community, men bound to us in common dwelling, but not in common effort. We learn to share only a common fear – only a common desire to retreat from each other – only a common impulse to meet disagreement with force. For all this there are no final answers.”
Historical Nicaragua: A Country of Renewed Commitment
posted to Flickr as nica08 / Author: tiarescott from Managua
The Central American state of Nicaragua came to international attention in the 1980s through an insurrection waged by the left-wing Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN) against the Somoza family’s dictatorial regime (1937–79). The Sandinista revolution styled itself ‘a popular, democratic, anti-imperialist national liberation struggle’, envisaging that the social integration it promised on coming to power would benefit all Nicaraguans. Though its development policies were heavily centralized, the Sandinista government also anticipated driving regional development on the hitherto-neglected Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua. The FSLN’s well-intentioned plans included an educational policy of teaching basic literacy skills in Spanish, together with explicit efforts to open up the Atlantic seaboard to the rest of the country and to exploit its natural resources for the national good. The Sandinistas, though, were hamfisted in working through these changes, proceeding in ignorance of the particular culture and identity of its people. Currently Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega may be the most divisive figure in Nicaragua’s recent history, but since his unexpected return to power in 2007, he has promised reconciliation. To that end, he has surrounded himself with a motley crew of former political and religious adversaries who now pledge allegiance to his government. But despite the rhetoric of rapprochement, the aging revolutionary’s obsession with maintaining his own power has pushed the country back towards violent polarization.
Still, one group of Nicaraguans that Ortega may have successfully united, albeit unintentionally, are former combatants from both sides of the civil war of the 1980s. A group of former Sandinista guerrillas and contra fighters – the militants of the left and the right – have started to find common ground in a country where the political spectrum is more like a circle than a line. United against Ortega’s efforts to stifle democracy and sidestep constitutional term limits to get re – elected in 2011, the unlikely allies are warning that this may be Nicaragua’s last chance to find a civil solution to its political problems.
After divisions among his opponents enabled Ortega, 61, to eke out a victory with less than 40 percent of the vote, Nicaraguans of all political stripes are still reeling. But perhaps none feel more personally affronted than the surviving foot soldiers of the U.S.-funded anti-Sandinista force, known as contras. Through a controversial, decade-long campaign of ambushes and sabotage, the contras, estimated to number as high as 12,000 at their peak, helped pressure Ortega into holding elections in 1990 in which voters swept him from office.
The dissidents of left and right have not merged their separate measures against the president, but they may be hoping that Ortega will, in fact, succeed in his efforts at reconciliation and national unity – but only around the common goal of achieving his downfall. Ortega is at a cross – roads. Will he do what is good for Nicaragua or plunged again into the realm of conflict and discord? In his hands lies Nicaragua’s future.
Obama’s Enforcement Strategy To Eliminate Illegally Employed Workers
In the recent news the Obama administration has replaced immigration raids at factories and farms with a quieter enforcement strategy: sending federal agents to scour companies’ records for illegal immigrant workers. While the sweeps of the past commonly led to the deportation of such workers, the “silent raids,” as employers call the audits, usually result in the workers being fired, but in many cases they are not deported. Over the past year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has conducted audits of employee files at more than 2,900 companies. The agency has levied a record $3 million in civil fines so far this year on businesses that hired unauthorized immigrants, according to official figures. Thousands of those workers have been fired.
Employers say the audits reach more companies than the work-site roundups of the administration of President George W. Bush. The audits force businesses to fire every suspected illegal immigrant on the payroll— not just those who happened to be on duty at the time of a raid — and make it much harder to hire other unauthorized workers as replacements. While the sweeps of the past commonly led to the deportation of such workers, the “silent raids,” as employers call the audits, usually result in the workers being fired, but in many cases they are not deported. The most inexpensive labour force can be the costliest for an employer if it involves illegal workers, underage workers or child labourers used in hazardous activities. It is illegal and morally wrong to hire these employees. Plus, heavy penalties are imposed on employers violating the labour laws. Regarding each prospective employee, a producer must ask the question: “Is it legal for me to hire this worker?” If the answer is no, it is risky business for the producer who goes ahead with the hiring. Here’s why.
Illegal Immigrants Illegal immigration concerns have resulted in lively congressional debates over solutions to the problem and demands for increased enforcement measures to identify and deport illegal immigrants. Enforcement measures focus more on employers, since most illegal immigrants are drawn to the U.S. for jobs and some employers have taken advantage of unauthorized workers as a cheap labour supply. The priority is to go after employers, but the policy says agents will continue to arrest illegal workers as long as local U.S. attorneys commit to prosecuting cases against their employers. The Obama administration stressed that humanitarian guidelines will be followed in more cases than under President George W. Bush. The prevailing question is the same as what Republicans ask is President Obama talking tough but softening up?
Crime: Identified As A Symptom Of Societal Dysfunction
colin.brown
Recently in the news a heartless ex-con who mugged an 87-year-old woman on an East Harlem Street was busted Friday, cops said. Margarita Fuentes fingered Arnel Munoz, 35, as the man who brutally attacked her on June 5 after a tipster phoned the mugger’s name to police, cops said. Munoz accosted Fuentes in broad daylight on E. 121st St., just blocks away from his home, surveillance video shows. The victim was a mother of four, who is originally from Puerto Rico, tried to fend off the attack with her cane. But the callous thug threw her to the ground and snatched a crucifix off her gold necklace. He also allegedly swiped Fuentes’ wallet from her purse before he fled. Munoz is said to have been charged before for drug possession and burglary was charged with second-degree robbery and grand larceny.
Why is there crime and why do people get involved in it? Why does is pervade our society and taint our community? The answer is complex, yet simple. We are the ones who get punished and it is because of the underlying problems that cause people to commit crime. But what are the causes? What is the root of the problem? Crime is a problem, but more importantly, crime is a symptom of a much deeper social problem, a societal dysfunction in which every one of us, by omission or commission plays a part. So the answer to the question of why people commit crime lies within each one of us. If we are not the ones who are committing the crime, we may be enabling it by omission. Many reasons can be listed for committing crime such as lack of education, poverty, and peer pressure as societal reasons for committing crime. Social structure plays a major role and forces people to commit crime at times. Most elected officials, government commissions or courts feel that crime is a personal choice and those who choose to commit crime should be punished and be accountable for their behaviour.
This reasoning would hold true if the root cause and effect of crime was addressed and corrected and only those who commit crimes were indeed, committing crimes because of their personal choice. The breakdown of American families and various social problems catalyze crime. Moreover the propensity to crime develops in stages associated with major psychological and sociological factors. The factors are not caused by race or poverty, and the stages are the normal tasks of growing up that every child confronts as he gets older. In the case of future violent criminals these tasks, in the absence of the love, affection, and dedication of both his parents, become perverse exercises, frustrating his needs and stunting his ability to belong.
Communities always shun and stigmatize criminals and see them as an undesirable part of the community and a source of social disorder. But how would you judge a society that has reduced it members to such lowly depths of inhumanity?
Campbell vs. Taylor: War Crimes Tribunal Showdown Remains Unsolved
Uploaded on April 1, 2007 by pingnews.com
Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia stands accused of horrific crimes, linked to his backing of Sierra Leone rebels during more than a decade of violent conflict from 1991 to 2002. He is charged with 11 counts of war crimes and has pleaded not guilty to accusations of murder, rape, terrorism and other atrocities. Prosecutors say Taylor provided weapons and ammunition to rebels in return for diamonds plundered from Sierra Leone’s mines. Taylor is defiant, facing down international justice in a letter, delivered to the court by his now ex-lawyer, Kharim Khan. “Mr. Taylor states: I am driven to the conclusion I will not receive a fair trial before the Special Court at this point. It is therefore with great regret that I must decline to attend hearings in this case until adequate time and facilities provided to my defence team, and until my other long-standing and reasonable complaints are dealt with. It follows that I must terminate instructions to my legal representative in this matter. “International justice brings international problems, such as transferring an entire legal process abroad. Witnesses must be flown in to testify. Some will enter witness protection programs, to prevent possible revenge attacks by Taylor’s supporters.
Recently Fashion model Naomi Campbell says she will testify at the war crimes trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor. Taylor is accused of supporting the rebels in Sierra Leone’s 11-year civil war in exchange for diamonds and other natural resources. He denies trading in the so-called “blood diamonds.” Prosecutors at Taylor’s trial in The Hague have summoned Campbell to testify later this month about reports that she received diamonds from Taylor during a 1997 reception in South Africa. In principle the Dutch have agreed to host the Taylor trial. However, only under certain conditions, like e.g. a UN Security Council resolution authorizing it and that Taylor will not stay in the Netherlands after the trial. The trial will be held under the jurisdiction of the Sierra Leone War Crimes Tribunal. Prosecution by The Hague based International Criminal Court is limited to crimes dating after July 1, 2002, the date on which the Statute of the ICC entered into force. The Special Court for Sierra Leone was set up jointly by the Government of Sierra Leone and the United Nations. It is mandated to try those who bear the greatest responsibility for serious violations of international humanitarian law and Sierra Leonean law committed in the territory of Sierra Leone since 30 November 1996.
The question is will Campbell’s Testimony move the trial forward of present more problems for the prosecution who has been constantly bogged down by Charles Taylor’s slippery manoeuvrings. This in turn raises a far more potent problem will testimonies of notable personalities be any good against seasoned political players and master schemers like that of Charles Taylor. Will the testimony link Taylor to the “Blood Diamond” trade and the atrocities in Sierra Leone?
Opposition Questions The Germany’s Health Care Reform Decision
In the strictest sense, a welfare state is a government that provides for the welfare, or the well-being, of its citizens completely. Such a government is involved in citizens’ lives at every level. It provides for physical, material, and social needs rather than the people providing for their own. The purpose of the welfare state is to create economic equality or to assure equitable standards of living for all. The welfare state provides education, housing, sustenance, healthcare, pensions, unemployment insurance, sick leave or time off due to injury, supplemental income in some cases, and equal wages through price and wage controls. It also provides for public transportation, childcare, social amenities such as public parks and libraries, as well as many other goods and services. Some of these items are paid for via government insurance programs while others are paid for by taxes.
Most advanced nations are not true welfare states, although many provide at least some social services or entitlement programs. These goods and services are generally available only to certain people who meet eligibility requirements. However, those that meet the prerequisites are guaranteed -or entitled to- benefits as a right. This type of system is frequently referred to as a “safety net,” which is designed to help the most vulnerable. The welfare state is socialist in nature. It redistributes wealth by heavily taxing the middle and upper classes in order to provide goods and services for those seen as underprivileged. However, even countries that don’t typically subscribe to socialism offer at least some form of safety net, most of which continue to expand.
In current news faced with a ballooning deficit in Germany’s health care system, Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government decided Tuesday to raise premiums and cut into the profits of doctors, dentists, hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The decision comes after months of wrangling within Merkel’s coalition over a fundamental overhaul of the system and after a series of political blows to the chancellor and plummeting support in the polls. While government officials said Tuesday’s decision was an achievement reached harmoniously, the opposition immediately criticized the reform saying it basically consists of everybody paying more. Germany’s once highly regarded mandatory health insurance covers about 72 million people, or 90 percent of the population. It has already gone through a series of reforms to stabilize its financial base. Costs are rising swiftly because of ever more sophisticated treatments and an aging population.
Health Minister Philipp Roesler said the world is still envious of the German system because of its high quality and only average cost compared to other countries. “However, our system is facing a challenge brought on by demographic changes and progress in medical technology,” he said. Economic realities are as real for welfare states as they are for others. This however does not in any way undermine the overall advantage of welfare states in terms of their intensive citizens focus as the key to development.
Syria is facing a Crisis of Rights and Freedoms
Uploaded on April 25, 2009 by Ashnag
Civil liberties are the universal rights and freedoms that protect individuals from abuse by government power. Governments partners with civil liberties organizations and civil society groups working to defend freedom and rights by strengthening individual liberty and democratic processes. They are also Fundamental individual rights, such as freedom of speech and religion, protected by law against unwarranted governmental or other interference. Furthermore history shows that curtailment of civil liberties—including the right to free speech, the right to a fair trial, and the right to equal protection under the law— has often followed national crises.
In the news an international human rights group said Syria’s president has done “virtually nothing” to improve human rights and expand freedoms during his decade in power. New York-based Human Rights Watch said President Bashar Assad has failed to deliver on promises of reform when he came to power 10 years ago this month. “Whether President Assad wanted to be a reformer but was hampered by an entrenched old guard or has been just another Arab ruler unwilling to listen to criticism, the outcome for Syria’s people is the same: no freedom, no rights,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. The report comes as Syria tries to emerge from international isolation and improve relations with Arab and Western states. The United States has boosted engagement with Syria in the hopes of drawing the country away from Iran and the militant groups Hezbollah and Hamas.
Syria emerged from its international isolation in 2008, but its human rights record remains very poor. The authorities arrested political and human rights activists, censored websites, detained bloggers, and imposed travel bans. Emergency rule, imposed in 1963, remains in effect and Syria’s multiple security agencies continue to detain people without arrest warrants.
The Supreme State Security Court (SSSC), an exceptional court with almost no procedural guarantees, sentenced 75 people in 2008, mostly Islamists, to long prison terms. Syrian Kurds, the country’s largest ethnic minority, continue to protest their treatment as second-class citizens. Months after military police shot and killed rioting inmates at Sednaya military prison, no information has been disclosed about casualties. Syrian authorities continue to restrict freedom of expression, and an independent press remains nonexistent. The government has extended to online outlets restrictions it applies to other media, detaining journalists for posting information online. Syrian internet censorship extends to popular websites such as Google’s blogging engine, Blogspot, as well as Facebook and YouTube.
The Human Rights Watch, in a 35-page report called “A Wasted Decade,” said Syria’s secret police detain people without arrest warrants and torture “with complete impunity.” Syria must be made to comply with international human rights standards. Its abuses and repression must be put to an end and its government be made accountable for such atrocities. It should be made an example among the countries of the world that if you conduct yourself like Syria you will be made to answer for such conduct.
