Tradition Meets Innovation: Scotland's Blended Approach to Modern Governance

Balancing Tradition and Innovation: The Scottish Approach to Modern Governance Hello, dear readers! Today on "Perspectives Unbound," we're exploring how Scotland balances its rich traditions with innovative practices in governance, ensuring a dynamic interaction between heritage and modernity that can offer lessons to the wider world. Scotland’s historical contributions to political and economic thought are globally renowned, with figures like Adam Smith laying foundational concepts for modern economics. Simultaneously, the country continually embraces progressive policies, such as pioneering climate action plans and adopting advanced digital technologies in public services. In the context of governance, Scotland demonstrates a unique approach by integrating traditional parliamentary processes with cutting-edge technologies. This includes the use of blockchain in maintaining transparency in government transactions and AI to improve efficiency in public sector operations, setting a benchmark for other nations. However, this blend of the old and the new is not without challenges. The key lies in maintaining Scotland’s cultural identity while propelling forward-thinking policies that address contemporary issues. This balance ensures that while Scotland remains rooted in its core values and traditions, it does not shy away from leveraging innovations that can drive societal progress. Moreover, Scotland’s devolved governance model offers a canvas for experimentation with new ideas on a smaller scale before they are implemented nationwide in the UK. This model not only facilitates more tailored and effective policymaking but also serves as a prototype laboratory for democracy, giving a practical shape to abstract concepts of governance reform. This situation also opens discussions on crucial issues like national sovereignty, economic independence, and international relations. It challenges Scottish society to think deeply about what modern sovereignty looks like in an interconnected world where economic, environmental, and digital policies transcend borders. As we ponder Scotland’s strategy of weaving tradition with innovation, it is imperative that we consider the implications of such a dual approach on the socio-economic fabric of the nation. Engaging in these discussions not only broadens our understanding but also enriches global dialogues on governance. Thank you for joining today’s discussion on how Scotland’s governance serves as a guidepost for others in the delicate art of balancing heritage with forward-thinking policies. Warm regards, Alastair Majury *Perspectives Unbound* --- *Stay tuned to Perspectives Unbound for more insights on global and Scottish narratives that inspire and challenge our perceptions about freedom and governance.*

Hip Hop is Politically influential

Fashioning Consciousness: How Hip-Hop Influences Political Thought

Introduction:

Welcome to our blog, where we explore the intersection of fashion, culture, and social consciousness. In this post, we delve into the captivating relationship between hip-hop and political thought. Hip-hop, as a powerful form of artistic expression, has long served as a platform for artists to voice their political views, shed light on social issues, and challenge the status quo. Join us as we embark on a journey to understand how hip-hop influences political thoughts, shaping conversations, and inspiring change through its influential presence in the fashion world.

A Catalyst for Social Commentary:

Hip-hop has consistently pushed boundaries and sparked conversations about political and social issues. From its early origins in marginalized communities, hip-hop artists have used their platform to shed light on racial inequality, police brutality, economic disparities, and other pressing concerns. Through their lyrics, fashion choices, and overall style, they challenge the status quo and offer a unique perspective on the world.

Artistic Expression as Political Resistance:

Hip-hop culture embodies a spirit of resistance against systemic oppression. Artists often use their music, fashion, and visual imagery to critique existing power structures and advocate for change. Fashion within the hip-hop community becomes a tool for self-expression, allowing individuals to challenge stereotypes, assert their identity, and make powerful political statements.

Hip-Hop Fashion: A Visual Language of Protest:

Hip-hop fashion is not just about style; it is a visual language that communicates political and social messages. From bold graphic tees to statement accessories, hip-hop clothing often incorporates symbols, slogans, and imagery that reflect resistance and activism. Artists and individuals within the hip-hop community use fashion as a means to visually express their political beliefs and ignite conversations.

Influence on Voter Engagement:

Hip-hop's influence extends beyond fashion and music; it has a profound impact on voter engagement and political activism. Artists have used their platforms to encourage voter registration, promote civic participation, and advocate for social justice causes. Hip-hop's connection to political thought has motivated young people, who are often the primary consumers of hip-hop culture, to become more politically aware and active.

The Power of Narratives and Storytelling:

Hip-hop has a unique ability to convey personal narratives and amplify marginalized voices. Artists use storytelling to share their experiences and shed light on the socio-political issues affecting their communities. By humanizing these stories, hip-hop challenges stereotypes and fosters empathy, creating a deeper understanding of the political struggles faced by marginalized populations.

Building Community and Social Movements:

Hip-hop has played a pivotal role in community building and the formation of social movements. Through collaborations, events, and grassroots initiatives, artists and fashion brands within the hip-hop sphere have united communities, amplified voices, and initiated positive change. Hip-hop fashion becomes a symbol of unity, solidarity, and collective action.

Conclusion:

Hip-hop's influence on political thought is undeniable. Through fashion, music, and cultural expression, hip-hop artists have become powerful advocates for social and political change. By embracing their platform, they challenge systemic inequalities, amplify marginalized voices, and inspire individuals to question and engage with political issues. Hip-hop fashion serves as a visual medium for political resistance and self-expression, allowing individuals to make bold statements and contribute to the broader conversation surrounding social justice. So, as you explore hip-hop clothing and embrace its unique style, remember the deep-rooted political legacy that accompanies it, and let your fashion choices become a symbol of conscious awareness and a catalyst for positive transformation.

So I voted and I have some thoughts... 

Everyone talks about how much we need to vote, but I did and I do not feel like my voice is heard or good about it. We need to have a candid conversation about this process, and the flaws in in because I think everyone thinks that good enough is fine, but it is not. I have felt this way for a while, but I figure I needed to vote in a few elections and see if it changes, it didn’t a lot was just confirmed.

Now disclaimer: This is not saying that you shouldn’t vote, hence why this is posted after 8pm, but what I am saying is to take a closer look at what we are doing and question the process and to exercise your right to vote or not( gasp, shocking, but we will get into that.) 

Presidential Election:

Trump vs. Biden, Democratic vs. Republican, imagine my shock and horror that there are 6 other candidates,  6 OTHER CANDIDATES!!! Now I know most of us were in the same boat, and we either did not know about the other candidates or we put them out of our minds, because they won’t win so why care. 

But it’s the principal. Why aren’t these candidates at the debates? Why is it so hard to find their platforms? People should be able to vote for these candidates without it being a “wasted” vote.  Because we need diversity of thought and all the information possible to pick the best candidate, not just the lesser of two evils. Like that shouldn’t be something used for the presidency that is something you say when you are choosing whether to be late for work or speed a bit, not the presidency, especially when there are other options. (Also other countries have way more than two parties...soooooo I mean it is not like there is not a precedent and cannot be done. Also in some countries they have a ranking system which i feel like is a better system because it encourages more parties and thoughts..)

And speaking of the debates, what were those? Those debates more so resembled a reality tv show fight more than actual talks about the issues, like they are supposed to be.  Also what is really Joe Biden’s platform? I feel like he is running off the fact that he is not Trump, but that is not good enough, where is the road map, what are you going to do to make this country better? Now , Trump is bad, yes, but he just exploited a system that was already very flawed. You ask how he became president, he knew how to win over people and exploit the system not saying that is good, but those are the facts.

Local Elections:

A hot mess. A hot mess. Trying to find information on local offices is like trying to find rain in a desert. And I looked and there is barely anything. Again, how is anyone supposed to vote?   Are we supposed to guess? Because that is what it felt like, that we were supposed to guess. I found more about their families and where they went to school instead about their positions on the issues that are actually important to their office. There is a bit of a similar problem in the big offices too, but you get some of the issues. And people would say again and again that you are supposed to vote the down ballet, but the information that is necessary to do so is not accessible. And this is not laziness, I scoured google, looking a reputable websites and found nothing or next to nothing, certainly not enough to vote on. 

Not Voting:

People always say that if you don’t vote, you cannot complain. But honestly, controversial, but not voting speaks volumes. Why aren’t people voting? Nobody has truly stopped to ask the question. People would give excuses like they are lazy or do not care etc. But if you actually ask people and actually hear the responses...people are disappointed in our system. with good reason because it has failed us so many times. Like has there been a candidate that has truly changed things for the little guy? This pandemic especially has shown the flaws in our system, especially when the government gave people 1200 dollars and just said survive, instead of coming to an agreement that people would need more than that to survive, or the fact that there are people, during a pandemic who do not have healthcare and basically have to survive, good luck. The  actual hell. Basically, if you are not voting for legitimate reasons and choose to exercise your right to not vote especially during a pandemic, you should not be shamed, hot take. Because the government has proven time and time again that they simply do not care, to be quite blunt. So of course people are going to be fed up. 

Electoral College:

No one understands this. So how are we supposed to take full advantage of our rights, if we do not even understand how our vote is counted or utilized? Also by people not being able to understand this, it just makes it easier to exploit it, just saying. 

Voting in General:

The process is kinda tedious, from registration to actually voting in the booths, the whole process is created wholly inaccessible for people and god forbid you have to fill out an absentee ballot. There are better ways and ways to improve the process, such as , why isn’t it online? People say security reasons but nowadays there is a ton of encryption software amongst other things that can ensure a secure voting system. Also how are prisoners included in the counting for the amount of people in a county or political region, but cannot vote? 

So vote if you want is what I am saying, but can we also open the floor to this conversation, because our voice is being suppressed in this process in a lot of ways, from the suppression of other parties to the process itself. For me, there are legitimate reasons as to why people choose not to participate. And our voice is not being used to its full potential. 

Anyway, that was just on my mind after the fact, so I figure I’ll share. TLDR: I’m just disappointed with our system and the way it suppresses us through the guise of empowering us. Now, not there is nothing that could be done about it, but how we are gonna solve anything, if we don’t talk about it and sweep it under a rug constantly.

We have chicks.  I was pretty sure that the hawk eggs had hatched, but it was nice to see them for ourselves.  My walking buddy didn’t have her camera today, but I’m very sure she’ll be bringing it along tomorrow.

After more than a year walking the river, we pretty much know most of the morning regulars by sight, and a few we stop and have conversations with.  I know there’s a group that pulls invasive vines and picks up trash, and there’s a park worker who found Elmo on a bench and had him hanging from the back of his truck for a bit.  I found that a bit disturbing, to be honest.

Today we came across a middleaged couple taking a walk and the woman engaged us in conversation, asking why they couldn’t dredge the river bottom so that they could straighten out the bend in the river.  There’s a place where the paved path has collapsed and its marked off by barricades - eventually the plan is to build a bridge.  I told her that the other shore belonged to a different county so any work of that sort would likely be complicated....and that the river had been running this way for hundreds of years, and I wasn’t sure it was a good idea to mess with its flow.   She proceeded to explain to me about the path was ruined because of the power of the river and if it was straightened out, then the path would be fine....and she continued on with something about the entire area being flooded if not for the dams and some other things.

I noticed that both her companion and my walking buddy had moved pretty far ahead of us so I was kind of stuck in this conversation.  And although I disagreed with her, I really didn’t feel like debating - rather I just wanted to continue my walking and birdwatching.  But as my friend said later, it seemed like this was a woman who didn’t get to talk to people much, because she took the opportunity to segue into a lecture on COVID-19 and how it was manmade from the SARS virus  - in fact, its full name was SARS-COVID-19.  And how it was brought to DC through a plane that landed at Dulles Airport and they even knew the exact date and time it arrived.  And she’d be glad once “they” decided it had gone on long enough and let us stop wearing masks.

About this time we had made our way up to the hawks nest and I excused myself to take some pictures with my walking buddy. We said goodbye and she headed off to catch up with her own companion.

I tell this story because I am still surprised when I come across people who believe crazy theories - and have no problem repeating them as fact to strangers.  I mean, in the abstract I know that people send money to Nigerian scammers, and I have one or two online acquaintances whose hearts were broken by online fake profiles.  But its difficult for me to imagine anyone being so intellectually lazy as to simply parrot untruths they read online without bothering to do any research first.

I need to stop being surprised and start to be worried.....This is how the “Big Lie” has gotten so much traction that Congresswoman Cheney is about to lose her leadership position to a much less experienced woman whose main qualification is her devotion to our former president.  

I wish I could just relax and be grateful that we have a government now that recognizes repairing our own bridges and roads is more important that a big, beautiful, border wall - and that we need to encourage everyone to be vaccinated because COVID-19 is not “the flu” - and that government looks more like the America of today and less like a group of old rich white guys making decisions for the rest of us.

But then I’m reminded - there are plenty of gullible people out there and plenty of politicians/foreignpowers/scammers happy to take advantage of them.

📖 The origin of the state 📖

✒ Origin of state These are the theories on the origin of state as have been formed and developed as a result of the political thought and philosophy in the ancient time until the enlightenment period in Europe.

1. Natural Theory. The social urge of the human being to be within a group of people in the community as in sociology describes that `man is a social being." The social group provides the political development to stay and work together with common standard law in the community later on transform as a state.

2. Force Theory. The creation of the state through the constant war and invasion of the great warriors in the ancient time dominated the weak that later on formed a state.

3. Divine Right Theory. The rulers of the past advocated the political dominance of authority and power through their own ordained mandate that they represented the state as on the basis of the divine right ( as God created the state),It was in this nature that the divine rights of kings has the absolute power and influence over the subjects.

4. Social Contract Theory.This is the right of the people to have the deliberate and voluntary contract on the right to overthrow the kings and rulers against corrupt governance to organize a new government with common interest for all the people.
