Why political science matters?

The meaning of political science is often restricted to the state, government, and everyday politics. However, it goes beyond that. We as humans share various relationships. What do we do when conflicts arise in these relationships? How do we resolve them? The Socratic dialectical method or Habermas’ idea of deliberation provides a solution. It says conflicts are better resolved through dialogue rather than domination. Hence, it tells us how to talk in a dialectical manner. It is the process of reasoning together. For instance, when your father asks you to aim for a government job, but you want to become a content creator, you do not totally oppose each other. Instead, you engage rationally: Why is a government job important? Maybe because it provides security and financial stability. But being a content creator might give you creative freedom. So you decide to take a government job but also start your creator journey simultaneously — maybe by vlogging your day as a government employee...

It would not be wrong to call the internet the greatest achievement of the human mind. The Internet has become an integral part of our lives. Technology and the internet have become a solution to all the problems we humans face today. But as we know greatest opportunities come with the greatest challenge so the internet has also given birth to some of the unheard human challenges. 


Can we, especially the millennials, imagine our life without the internet? The answer would certainly be no. This essay which you are reading is also because of the internet. Internet and mobile phones and the internet and computer have become so intertwined that it is impossible to think of one without the other, in the present time. Through browsers like Google, Yahoo or Bing we can know about any topic which our mind can think of. Any phenomena, any event, any place, any disease, any accident, any place among others you just put it on the internet and you get the results. The level of awareness the internet has created is also beyond our thinking. Today people are more conscious about the events happening all over the world, this has never happened before in human history. As a result, people feel more confident because knowledge and awareness give birth to confidence. It has democratized knowledge. Furthermore, the internet has also unfurled various processes or opportunities to develop human potential at its fullest. One most unique achievements of the internet would be the strengthening of nationalist sentiments. Anderson said that newspapers played an important role in the formulation of nationalist feelings across the world. Similarly, it can be said that the internet has further strengthened this feeling because of the more availability of news around oneself. As a result, people can associate themselves more with all the happening around the globe and especially in their locality and their country. Now, it would be debatable if the strengthening of nationalist feelings is good or bad? We can discuss it at some other point in time.


But the internet has also posed some newest and dangerous threats to humanity. One of the greatest threats the internet has posed is misinformation. Misinformation is the false news deliberately created to achieve the targeted goals. Most of this information targets the human emotions directly making the individual not using his/her mind. Although the same internet provides us the opportunity to cross-check the news, misinformation always travels at a faster speed and covers a large group of people than anything else. In addition to this dark web poses a more serious problem. The dark web is that part of the internet which is specifically used for the criminal purpose. From the selling of armaments, drugs, and a large number of individual data to contract killing, etc. The dark web is the greatest threat to humanity. The increasing use of the internet by gangsters, drug dealers, and terrorist groups throws humanity into the mouth of the greatest danger. Deepfake and cheapfake are the latest set of dangers created by the Internet. 


In conclusion, the internet has provided us the greatest opportunities and huge knowledge ever made available to human beings. But nothing comes without challenges so does the internet. The Internet poses a serious threat to humanity. On the contrary, the same internet provides us the opportunity to tackle those challenges. So with the responsible use of the internet, we can achieve anything and create a peaceful and more democratic world.

Escape

The word escape doesn’t seem to have a very negative origin. It originally meant to set oneself free. It should not be seen as an act of cowardice. The qualitative aspect of escape should inform our judgment. In moments of mental crisis, someone’s escape might be spirituality; for someone else, it could be alcohol. These patterns of escape slowly become habits. With repeated events, our body naturally starts craving the same escape in moments of discomfort. For instance, if someone has chosen isolation as an escape, then whenever a crisis occurs, the body automatically starts demanding isolation. This is why such patterns are difficult to break–because escape sets one free. It provides an alternative way out. The body doesn’t perceive escape as an end in itself; it sees it merely as a means to get away from the current situation. I believe this is the reason behind large-scale alcohol addiction in Indian villages. Based on my limited understanding of Indian villages–especially those in...

Exclusion

  The very foundation of some of the major problems that persist in our society is built on the bedrock of exclusion - be it biases, stereotypes, discrimination, or any other practice that degrades others. This makes it important for us to question: why do people exclude in the first place? The idea of exclusion often germinates from the desire to stand out or appear unique. We crave being seen as distinct, not just like any other person. For instance, when we go shopping for clothes, we consciously avoid those that are widely sold. We often say, “everyone wears that.” Maybe we’re comfortable with the broader pattern but not the exact color or design - because we want to stand apart. Hence, we exclude certain colors or styles to create our own distinct identity. While this kind of exclusion in fashion may seem harmless, it reveals a deeper psychological pattern that, when applied to social groups, becomes dangerous. Over time, we begin to associate certain styles with people we don...

Might is right

  Might Is Right “Justice is the interest of the stronger” replies Thrasymachus, answering the question asked by Plato, what is justice? The same goes with might is right. The meaning of this proverb is that the powerful are always right. Although might is right its reverse isn’t correct which is right is might. So might is always right but right is always not might. Which means the weak can also be right. Might is right not because it is right but because of their power and position, no one can object to that. So whatever the mighty says is considered right. We will try to discuss it further by starting from the individual level and ending at the international level.  At the individual level, some people are stronger and mighty. For example, there are two people one who is very powerful both connection-wise and physically. If you indulge in a fight with him/her, not even a fight if s/he is doing something wrong you can’t do anything. And our not objection to that particular a...
