Universal Right to LIFE

The right of all In 2011, Shaun Alberto de Freitas and Georgia Alida Myburgh wrote a paper on the rights of the unborn child. Seeking Deliberation on the Unborn in International Law Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal, Vol. 14, No. 5, 2011 . They emphasized that the paper stand for a push to ensure that the international community define the status of the unborn child, who has been relegated due to lack of priorities, but despite the need to define the child this is not an attack against women,  “bearing in mind that opposition to abortion does not of itself constitute an attack on a woman's right to respect for privacy in her life”. The right of all, the value of every life and the struggle of this truth in the current world environment is a tragic fact. Why should black lives matter be more important than all lives matter, can the chat not be because all lives matter black lives must matter. Does black lives matter represent not a social growth that seeks the elevation...

Our Call from God

We are seeing a call to live out love, faith and hope in a world of institutional structures that speak hate, abuse and anger. As the United States of America dares to peal off the bandage of compromise and silence that has kept racism underground but very much alive and growing. The world watches as things unfold and a new era is begun, through a revival of conscience and principles and a willingness to be. Racism has haunted international relations and development dynamics in its various forms, from the rise of nationalism, the reflection of colonialism and imperialistic dispossession a people of identity, name, culture and dignity. These atrocities which once publicly where part of institutional policy are now privately the foundation of national and in part international culture that is used to limit, denigrate and justify the murder of people of colour. The murder of George Floyd is only part of the killing that occurs the destruction of the flesh. The more critical annihilation i...

Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are - Benjamin Franklin  The failure of society to feel public outrage at the abuse of another is enabled the increasing rise in violence against the weak and disenfranchised in our society. The most tragic silence is found in the Christian community that during the past decades of attacks against blacks and women has retain its private closest attitude of prayer without action or words. 1 John 3:17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? We see pictures of children and how they at a young age do not act out of bias and stereotyping . We see the evidence that hate is learned and once learned and encouraged is difficult to uproot. Hate is an attitude taught and ingrained by the community they live in. So what leads to the acceptance of hateful acts’ by a community from an individual i...

My teacher - Suffering

Personal Book Study  As I was sharing my testimony with a new friend online, I celebrated the removal of all boarders and limitations in communication, the new openness is not just for education, talking to friends or connections for business. The removal of limitations has meant an increase in structural support and guidance. When one is low or fearful and struggling through a journey the internet is a source of structure and aid from people across the world.     In the book Crawling out of the Darkness, the author reflects on the story of an employee who sought greener pastures but ended up abused at her new place of occupation. The abuse ranged from verbal, physical, psychological and emotional, at the beginning the abuse was with subtlety and then followed with a gradual growth into more viciousness that climaxed into physical abuse and a repeated hint of potential sexual harm. In the narrative she shared the mistakes she made, the errors of indecision, the f...

Is it a "Youth" eat Youth World

Transitioning management of companies from old youthful horses to young people across all sectors   The first lesson of getting into management is that no one is irreplaceable, so you have come into a job what is left is your move out. This should not be a bad thing. Movement in companies reflects growth and progress. If there is personal stagnation there is generally loss of potential institutional growth. So why do people fear movement, leaving a job, seeking higher posting or going into new areas.   Zimbabwean institutional challenges may be narrated in historical terms. Skilled specialists in low level areas held a culture of mythical stagnation. In the 1960 tradition, submission and obedience were key words. Things would be done in the old ways. The teacher in handcraft/practical jobs would never teach the student everything for fear of becoming ill relevant. The student would be discouraged to try innovation for innovation means failure and thus death of a caree...
