EUROPE MUST CARRY HER CROSS

-
                         LET EUROPE CARRY HER CROSS!!!

No country can isolate itself from the actions and in-actions of others. There is no time for blame games as regards the consequences of Europe’s policies towards the invasion of Iraq, the ouster of Gaddafi in Lybia and its indifferent attitude to the Assad regime when it became obvious that he could no longer be in charge. Every foreign policy in modern times will always have a bounce back effect – either short-run or long-run consequences which works in two ways; 1. Destabilize the political, economic and social structure of the target nation by making use of disgruntled elements and power elites who wish to wrestle power and change the political order to satisfy their filthy lucre. They smuggle arms and insight violence and civil war breaks out. 2. Consolidate and strengthen a government that supports Western economic pursuits and overlooking away from their dictatorial excesses when it matters most.
We are in a connected world, when the Wall Street sneezes, Lagos shiver, where China’s economic policies sends fevers to America and Europe and where the price of crude oil shakes the foundations of developing economies. Wars and conflicts in other regions of the world are going to have greater impacts on several other countries and the rate of impact will be based on proximity of continents and trade relations. Unfortunately for Europe, America is far away from the troubles and of course, it has its own migrant issues affecting its polity.  The onus is on Europe to carry its cross. These are the future consequences:
1.      Changing demographics of Europe in decades to come
2.      The question of social loyalty and identification with host country on religion, constitution and how to identify religious extremists.
3.      The ultra-conservatives such as Andreas Brevick will take up arms as ethnic cleansing re-surfaces – (A new KKK in Europe).
4.      Economic stress                                                          

These consequences will have a long-lasting, complex, multiplier effect on Europe’s social structure. However, right now social wisdom suggests that refugees must be re-settled, bio-data obtained with various refugee commissions to provide policy framework for economic independence, social integration after-war packages for those who wish to return home in the nearest future. America's geographical location keeps her safe, at least for now, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries are afraid to take in migrants as they fear that terror groups might come in.  For now, Europe must carry her cross and God help her.

Fat women are still beautiful: but beware of obesity

Obesity is a disease that has been a worrying issue in the world today, more and more ladies particularly in the Western world today are conscious of the stigma that is attached to being overweight. Any perceived or actual increase in size is often seen as an anathema which is as a source of social disapproval. While some are naturally slim, others are plump as encoded in their genes. Social acceptance or disapproval of body structure emanates from the culture of the society and passed on from generation to generation. African men (not all) are particularly wary of slim women, whom they label as unfed, sick, bony and are symbolically compared to the letter 1, stick or a tiny broom. In sexual terms they tag them as not 'handy', shortchanged and deprived of the vital body structures to get them aroused. They are favourably inclined to fat women, they believe these women are the endowed. To be a plump woman means beauty to the African man. To him, she is handy, and fleshy to per...

CHILD MARRIAGE: I'M GETTING MARRIED TO MY "GRANPA"-THE WISH OF THE GODS?

-

Child marriage is real and its consequences stare us in the face. its effects on the social well-being of the child, psychological and health cannot be over-emphasized. Where illiteracy and poverty abound, the effects become all consuming. My Sociological analysis is critical of religious dogma attached to some certain belief system and I promise to tackle the phenomenon without bias. I understand the emotional appeal which religion carries, I also understand the functions and its roles in bringing about stability and cohesion, psychological and moral function as well as its role in reconstructing social identity. I'm aware however, that religion has also been the bane of progress in many societies across the world stimulating conflict and resulting in loss of lives and properties. Adherents of religious belief attribute their actions as emanating from a divine authority and their behaviours are the manifestation of their moral duty to the divine. Sociologically speaking however...

The Impact of Aging on Female Sexual Desire: What Men Need to Know to Keep the Spark Alive

As women age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their sexual desire. Men who are in relationships with women, especially those who are approaching or have reached menopause, should understand these changes to keep the spark alive in their relationships. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs, and her menstrual cycle stops. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin years before the actual menopause, during a phase called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a transitional period that can last anywhere between two to ten years. During this period, women may experience a wide range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect a woman's sexual desire and may result in a decreased libido. The decrease in estrogen levels durin...
