subject: Generalization is the language of hate [print this page] Question is, will in this age of information technology, these generalizations will end, stay the same or aggravate? I think the answer lies in, what role political and religious leadership, media and greed for money, power and famewill play and, how and from wherea common IT consumer like you and me obtains information, and interpret it. Trust me if used in incorrect ways, the new much more powerful tools of information, in a shrunken world,can cause lot more devastation than theones caused by generalizing propaganda wars in past. We must understand that no group of world population, whether it is based on religion, geography, language, ethnicity or race, is complete evil. There are and there have alwaysbeen, small segments of people in every group of population, who due to their vested interests, want to keep people divided.Their survival depends on spread and strengthening of hate. Don't let these forces of hate win over the forces of love. Remember, who ever we are, the human populations, round the globe, are far more interconnected and their survival depends on each other, much more than ever before. We have many recent examples in which it is proved that no crisis is local anymore. Any thing can become global in an instant, whether it is afinancial crisis or an epidemic.
