World is currently going through a tempestuous phase in its
life for the mankind. While it is being battered by Nature in all its ferocity
as a consequence of climate change phenomena in one side; it is also being
targeted by Global terrorism in a very organized manner with growing violence
on innocent people. On top of it Global economic systems have completely failed
to remove poverty in many parts of the World. There has been attempt to deal
with a few of them through millennium development goal; however, as the
deadline of 2015 is getting nearer the failure to achieve the goal staring on
our face. Global community urgently need to address three important issues like
conservation of nature, reduction in global defense expenditure and better
understanding between various religions & race. Indian Prime Minister while
speaking at United Nations General Assembly emphasized upon lifestyle changes
and practice of yoga that would help in conservation of nature by cutting down
conspicuous consumption. Nation States are spending huge amount of their
revenue in armed forces disproportionate to their security need and much in
excess their spend on education & healthcare. There is a need to convince
the Nation States to reallocate resources from defense to development; some
where and some how the global terrorism is deeply embedded to the growing
numbers of poverty stricken people. The central problem that remains unattended
and grossly fuels the global terrorism is the misunderstanding between a set of
religious faith and race which can be easily resolved by spreading awareness
and facilitating learning about all religious faith from ground up- that is
from children to adults. The raw violence that is being perpetrated by the
brand new terrorist group ISIS and the counter offensive from allied forces led
by USA seem to
have no end and have the potential to spread into many peaceful neighbor hood
of the World. United Nations and sensible leaders of Nation States have been
trying to end this vicious problem of violence and poverty; however, their
efforts have been limited by resources and organization. Therefore, Global
Corporation must now work for the mankind to conserve, preserve and progress;
as without mankind there would be no business. In a recent news report the
chief of social networking site Face Book donated twenty five million dollars
to the Disease Control Centre of USA for EBOLA virus and for a long time
founder of Microsoft Bill Gates spending a fortune for health & sanitation
in most developing countries including India .
This individual and isolated act of philanthropy may not be able to resolve the
core issues faced by the Global community. At this moment it is imperative for
Global Corporation to work for humanity as part of their business policy and
earmark a substantial portion of their idle resources and the organization to help
generate awareness and contemplate action wherever required to bring elusive
peace and sustainable economic prosperity for the Global community. Global
Corporations like Google, Face Book and Microsoft have considerable influence
over the classes and masses which they could use to incubate three
organizations to adequately deal with current problems. One, University
Students for Global Peace with a mandate to convince and get buy-ins from the
lawmakers of each country to cut their respective defense expenditure by five
to ten percent and redeploy such resources in development of their own country
or wherever such resources are urgently needed across the World. This should
considerably reduce the State sponsored violence, aggression and war like
condition and at the same time help the recovery of Global economy with higher
spending on social expenditure and capacity building in deprived regions of
least developing countries. This initiative also could help check the
territorial ambitions and aggressive posturing of countries like China
by creating a very strong Global Public opinion against warmongering and
adventurism. Two, Global Social Forum—just like ‘World Economic Forum’
with an objective to bring the various and varied religions and race on a
common platform for a constructive dialogue between leaders in the field to
create a better and shared understanding on the matter of faith. That should
over a period of time control Global Terrorism by stopping the inflow of
followers to the terrorist network. At the end, World now misses an
organization that works on the concept of “fortune lies at the bottom of
pyramid” making the economic development of rural settlement in developing
countries as its only business. If Global Corporations eventually take these
initiatives in near future; then, a new Global Order would emerge and World
could remain in Peace with itself in a sustainable manner for a long long time
and the financial statements of Global Corporations would look very attractive.
Shall we?
