THE world is in turmoil. Yet few have discovered yet the most important lesson in the age of globalization, liberalization, free markets and openness.
That lesson is non the other but the fact that to survive the world must function as an open system and not as a closed system.
Countries that the system approach was first introduced unfortunately are the most blind to this fact.
Turning to the open system approach is both about rediscovering the interdependence of the world and secondly, understanding that dynamic homoestasis cannot be ignored. No one part of the world can consume more than it needs and the world continue to be stable in any way.
Today's financial, political, social and economic instability is an attestation to the above reality. Now more than ever we need to balance both national and international books so that order and stability is maintained all over the globe.
As part of my untutored, unprofessional and unscientific methodology of addressing local and international ailments have chosen to dwell principally on the issue of problem-solving.
The world has so many problems and perhaps it is important for at least one of its current occupiers to think and talk about noveau ways that can help us understand the contemporary problems or challenges facing humanity.
In my search for knowledge don't be taken aback as I shall be asking very foolish and simple questions for instance like: is man one or many? Who is you? Who is the world? Who is the country? Who is province? Who is district? Who is division? Who is community? Who is a street? What are systems? What are structures? What is managing problems? What is education for? Why should we link education with the problem we need to solve? What is rubber stamping, stereotyping and dogmatic policies? And above all the immemorial jounrnalism questions of what, who, where, why, when and how as relating to other spheres of life and humanity endeavours!!
