The Power To Rule


Well hello there little ones...

Now...Someone had once told Spiderman "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility"...Only if this line was made the slogan of politics,business,actors,writer and other influential people in the world. Today i was watching a chat show and an actress was talking about an Indian social personality who writes for the national newspaper. Now she said something that i feel every journalist should keep in mind..Just because you have a pen in your hand and a column in the newspaper does not mean that you can take digs at peoples character and background...Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion..but when you talk about someone who is an actress..talk about their work and not their personal lives. This is something i have noticed about various journalists..We all know about the freedom of press..but at times i feel its soo subjected to peoples personal opinions..In conservatice countries everythin is writted with such curtain drawn over it..In big countries people are hardly enlightened about whats going on in the rest of the world. The power to write in the newspaper and speak on national television is given to few and if not put to proper use you can influence the minds of various people and at times even make or break a certain individuals career.
Now when we talk about power the next thing that comes into light is business companies all around the world. The products we use in our lives if not made properly can cause ill effects to our lives...People who have the power to deliver the best and healthiest products at times just to save a bit of money sell us cheap quality products...In many parts of the world consumer courts have been opened to save the right of each individual consumer so that noone is exploited.
When we talk about power how can we forget the world leaders. Politicians have the biggest role to play in the race for power. Controlling a country means that every descion one makes will affect a million odd people and if this decision is made with personal vendetta and selfish gains than an entire country suffers. A lot of the third world countries filled with poverty,child labour,terrorism,trafficking,etc can be bought out of all these problems with the right leadership. The youth leaders have to use their new insight along with the power to make the world a lot better place..P.S. There was a time in Year 10 when i was sooo influenced by Political Science that i really wanted to join Politics..Well that dream may get fullfilled..Seeing the UN HQ in geneva this year really made that dream get a new start.
Finally on a lighter note there are many more people in the world who have the power to influence and effect individuals lives...Parents,Teachers,Peers,etc....
So this is to people in life who crave Love,Money and most of all Power
