The two party political system
I have often engaged in conversations leading to the political current event situation here in Australia in particular and in the world in general, and usually from my responses or reactions, I would be told I'm cynical and apathetic when it comes to such a topic. This happened so many times, I thought why not write something about it!
Liberty, Freedom and Terror
"He who gives up essential liberty for a little temporary security deserves neither liberty or security." - Benjamin Franklin
Words like security, freedom, liberty and rights have been the buzz words for a few years now, governments been coming in power on the “We will keep you secure and safe” bandwagon, albeit it was not the only reason governments came into power, but security seems to be something people are worried about, and politicians, being the people they are, seized the moment and capitalised on it.
The World of C.I.S.V
Before I write anything in this rant of mine, I should point out that I am by no means not bias when I talk about CISV; I’ve been a member in it since one of my friends at Uni dragged me to something called a Junior Branch meeting, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Thus there is an interior motive for me to write about CISV, which might just be promoting it!
