The Beast

Its seed has been sown since the 1st century. It has been breathing inside its packet from the 5th century to the 16th century when Europe had a Papal ban on debt. The Church failed to prevent debt during the 16th century owing to conflicts within it. The 16th century gave birth to the modern state. So what is debt? Among other things, the modern state is responsible for its accumulation of debt.

Debt is property owed to others. It is essentially the taking of something owned by someone, to make it one's own. Hence, unpaid debt is the equivalent to stealing, justified on the pretext of the need to acquire more. Greed. People borrow from others, and charging it with an interest is to take advantage of someone else's greed.

Debt, thy name is Mammon. Mammon is the spirit of greed, the want to own more for oneself. Global debt has accumulated as the ugly Beast of Mammon rears its ugly head.

"Minorities are to be supported because they are minorities" says the media

If there are any groups the media will always love, they are the minorities. That is, the groups which claim that they are the minority and play the victim card, not the groups who are really minorities. This is because they help make the media influential. The media thrives on the suffering of others. Before we blame the media, we must look at ourselves as a community. 

We love to watch how others are suffering because it makes us feel better, or convinced that we are not the worst off. That is why. We love to hear negative things about others. We forget the good things others do, and never forget the bad things others do. That is who we are as people. 

Social behaviour allows the media to thrive by siding minority groups. Siding minority groups means to make their (deceitful) voice of suffering and oppression heard. As a result, it can be said that the resentment towards people of "victimised" groups is forgiveable, albeit based on a stereotype. 

Capitalism is the only way to go

Commerce, economic and business subjects are taught from a capitalist framework. To understand what is meant by this, one must understand the spirit of capitalism. Capitalism is the ideology that free markets are fundamental to building an economy. I may not be a student of economics or commerce, but I have studied accounting before in high school, and I know that the sole or main purpose for the existence of a business is to make profit. One does not need to be a student of economics to know this.

Capitalism thrives on individualism, that one is entitled to what one earns and has the right to do what one wants with one's earnings. One needs to have the 4M's to do start a manufacturing or production business: materials, manpower, money and machinery. Manufacturing is in the primary sector as it gives rise to the ability to engage in trading goods. Without the 4M's, businesses cannot start and a country will not be able to create wealth. The fundamental needs for food, shelter, water and transport will be hard to meet.

This is in complete contrast to the idea the idea that everything is used rather than owned by the individual. The government controls the use of everything rather than owns it. This idea is communism. My understanding of communism is not that of a dictatorship, although it is usually associated with a dictatorship, but a communalistic wealth distribution to eliminate private ownership.

The underlying principles in commerce, economic and business subjects are that the self is paramount - that one needs to look after oneself before looking after others. This is true, but this idea tends to influence people to neglect the needs of others. Furthermore, based on my past experiences, many people are induced with the assumption that the wealthier one is, the harder that person works, and the poorer one is, the lazier that person is. Although it may be true in some cases, not everyone is born into a wealthy resourceful family. People cannot be blamed for being poor, just because they are poor.

Capitalism is essentially about survival of the fittest. If one is not fit enough, it's just too bad.

What the media stands for

The media has become increasingly political and biased owing to a rise in commercialisation of the media. Media reports are given an incentive to encourage support for certain groups that provide more funding.

The media, of all of things, cannot be trusted. It is worse than the government in some cases. I smell a stench that is a concoction of nauseating bias, dirty politics, and above all, hypocrisy. Thy name is Media.

The media in postmodern liberal societies have supported the propaganda of interest groups who have attempted to delude people of reality.

In short, the media stands for Manipulative, Evil, Domineering, Immoral Activity.

Feel free to express what the acronym media stands for.
