HAITI IS AGREED?


The Vortex news media and the ideological which operates in the same for the selection of agenda items - that many Journalists sometimes applied automatically and uncritically-shifted tragedy Haitian news and pages of newspapers.

Diving on the web I found an excellent note of Martin Rodriguez in Rolling Stone (Argentina Edition): "Haiti, if the earth shakes" in which the journalist draws a picture of present situation in that country from everyday life and share the experience of Argentine troops who make up the international mission run by the United Nations.

a couple of weeks ago, for the first 100 days after the earthquake, the English newspaper El Mundo published another excellent report , in this case signed by Carlos Fresneda, which reflects the same reality, but through the eyes of doctors, social workers and religious Iberian population attending the disaster survivor.

In both cases, establishing the link with social policy and terrible saga of the country in which the earthquake appears to be "another twist." Martín Rodríguez review, in brief and concise, the links of French colonialism and U.S. with poverty, authoritarianism and violence suffered - and suffering - Haiti for much of its history.

As a reminder that this "half island" is also part of Latin America.

Anyway To Straighten Teeth Without Braces

The "world tour" of Argentina

There are stories that are repeated, to justify the theory of "eternal return" Nitzche. President Cristina Fernandez said in a recent interview with the chain Bloomberg, referring to the new exchange of payment was in doubt since the previous default swaps - years 2003 - 2005 - that "Argentina became the world" .
In this regard, I reiterate article on this subject published last year and half, questioning this concept, driven by some analysts of major media. During this time, something changed in the way ... but it was not the author of the note.

ARGENTINA "BECAME THE WORLD?


In Argentina, the decision to pay the portion of external debt still in default since December 2001 has led to some conceptualizations interest expressed in the headlines of articles published in major media, which can be summarized in the following expression: "ARGENTINA BECAME THE WORLD."
prefer to ignore, for that matter, on domestic considerations because the Kirchner government, after having resisted by all means pay the debt with the Paris Club, an organization that brings together European states creditors (about 4,000 million dollars depends on who does the account), and the "holdouts" or private external creditors (18,000 million dollars plus interest fallen), I prefer to concentrate on the ideological, cultural, economic and political involves the words "BACK TO THE WORLD."
In particular, what supposed to get the Argentina paying these debts - either in cash, but in installments as the Paris Club, or off of interest and principal, as the "holdouts" - is back to get credit of large international banks. Just at the time when the global financial system is headed toward bankruptcy, even though the United States government, and secondly, the European Central Bank, used by hundreds of billions of dollars of public money to save financial corporations from the trap that they themselves produced from "bubble" of subprime mortgages. Money supply never thought to invest in education, health, justice, security, credit for the production and generation of meaningful jobs for disadvantaged citizens.
be seen are the actual benefits that Argentina's economy will these payments through the "Tsunami" towards which the world economy. All analysts agree that going to the worst capitalist crisis since the Great Crash of 1929.
Still sounds a bit strange to hear the expression "ARGENTINA BECAME THE WORLD", when the engine of the economy of this country are the exports of commodities agropecuarios – fundamentalmente soja- a China e India. Por otro lado, otra de sus fuentes de divisa y generación de empleo es el turismo internacional. Por lo demás, la Argentina participa activamente de las Naciones Unidas – hace un par de años ocupó uno de los asientos no permanentes en el Concejo de Seguridad-, en la Organización de Estados Americanos o la Organización Mundial de Comercio, así como el MERCOSUR.
Excepto que por “MUNDO” entendamos al Grupo de los 7 países más industrializados, a las compañías transnacionales, y la potencia rectora del mundo – hasta ahora-: los Estados Unidos de América. Y que esa concepción del “MUNDO” implique que the philosophy of "free market" is the dogma that must be accepted and implemented without further. Salta
clearly that if that is the "world" in that "world" do not come: the rest of Latin America, including two regional powers like Brazil and Mexico, across Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe, across Asia, including the two largest emerging economies in the world, India and China - the latter the main buyer, "and of course the Pacific, including countries like Australia and New Zealand.
In short, just over 4 / 5 parts of humanity, and at least half the global economy of today, with strong projections growth for the next 20 years.
Apparently the notion of "world" they have in mind the exegetes of the payment to the letter of the "Eternal Debt" could be defined as one composed of individuals who possess these three characteristics: being culturally European, white skin, and rich. Any member of the human species does not meet at least one of these three features - the vast majority does not meet any of the three-not part of the "WORLD."
But if more than 80% of humanity does not meet these conditions at what "world" belong to? ... the "underworld", the "underworld" ... and then, where does the concept of World Globalization with "a single market, one culture, one democracy?" Or is that behind the universalist ideal of globalization were hiding - hiding-racial values, economic and political of stale, and not so stale, that drove the world powers during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries?
few days ago, in a interview with the newspaper Clarín in Argentina, Brazilian President Luis Ignacio "Lula" Da Silva explained why their country is strategic integration with the rest of Latin America, but also the presence of space MERCOSUR in Africa, and of course in Asia. There Lula envisions the future of the world.
For his part, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said yesterday from China, at the start of an international tour that will take you also to Moscow that "today is more important to be in Beijing than in New York." There are many differences in personality, ideology and history that we find between Lula and Chavez. But behind both a glimpse of the culture, economy and geopolitics that has more to do with the world of most of humanity with the "world" that outlines the holder of the mainstream press.
Which of the two "Worlds" you should belong to Argentina ?
