I just read
brians Blog about news.
Here is a story about news that "lies":)
About 2 years ago fox was showing a documentary about sweden. I dont know how big the news were in the states but we heard a lot about it in Sweden and I saw the documentery.
It was about how dangerous Swden was. The makers of the documantary talked to an ambulance team in one of swedens biggest cities, Malmo.
The team was telling the makers about how they could not drive down the streets in Malmo because it was so dangerous.
Fox was trying to tell the world how dangerous Sweden was. They wanted to show how the muslims are making Malmo a dangerous city.
I dont really know what to say about the documantery. I have been to malmo. It is not that dangerous. I ahev friends from Malmo. They say the same.
When I was going down to Mexico from LA people told me that I shouldnt go, because it is SO dangerous DOWN THERE. I havent had any experiences of danger so far and I have been in Mexico for 14 days and I have been walking down what is considered to be thet most dangerous street i Mexico City at 4 am in the morning.
Why is it that people love to tell and hear sbout how dangerous everything is? Why is it that some people love to spread fear?
Any way. Lets say that Malmo and Mexico are dangerous. Why would they be?
I listened to something Ken Wilber said, it was someting like this:
"Farmers that lived 200 years ago did not not use pecticidec because they where closer to the nature or because they didnt want to, they didnt because they couldnt. and if you would giva a nuclear bomb to a tribe that lived in the stoneage that was in war they would probably use it. " I heard it long ago so this is only the way a I remembered it.
Well what I am trying to say is that Sweden for example have gone through a development and we are where we are, a democratic state free from war. We do not have a big problem with violece and robberies. We do not have to split up the subway trains and have 4 wagons for men and 4 for women, they do this in mexico city because they have a problem with men touching women when they stand to close.
Whet I thinkis the probelem is that when an individual comes from a society that is lower in the development (the 4 quadrants and stuff like that thet Ken is talking about) and is "put" in a society where the individuals are uaualy higher in the development he will have a hard time.
In some countries it is up to the woman to protect man from molesting her, so she wears a burka, the men in a society like that are not thougt not to touch women. A woman with little clothes in a society like that is a woman who wants to be toutched.
So ofcourse it is hard to for him not to touch a woman with little clothes.
So all societies are built up on different values and ways. Is it strange when individuals that moves from one society to another might have a problem with acting good?
But what can we do about it?
Do I hev to say that this is what I think and believe, and not the truth. If you have another wau of thinking please tell me! I want to know more about this!
