Meritocrazy VS Democracy

There's this passage i read yesterday about this issue of meritocracy against democracy which i feel strongly of sharing because it shows to a great extend the issue of elitism. Part of the lesson about this passage was on a question "The irony between meritocracy and democracy". Meritocracy is a system in which the talented, the ones who excel are rewarded in terms of wealth or status.(its crazy because it makes every study till they drop) On the other hand, democracy is a governance system where people are equal(e.g. in opportunities) and is linked with egalitarian. Therefore, is it possible to call a state that is both meritocratic and democratic without any contradiction?In my point of view, i guess its no, at least not demonstrating both ideology to the full extent.
Meritocracy is one of my country's stepping stone towards today's powerful development. However, meritocracy came along with some other debatable social issues. One of such would be elitism. Undeniably my country does exist elitism from our banding education system to WSM's incident. The main objective of meritocracy in my society is to discover the talented elites so as to provide them with additional opportunities to extend their knowledge with wider coverage of exposure in both academic and non-academic aspects. This is to prepare them as future leaders(political, economic, professionals) to drive this country because my society's only resources is human being. With such ideology, it shaped my country to be one which has strong focus on academic and placing alot of importance on the paper of degree. Often enough we are able to see how meritocracy is able to widen the gap of inequality in my country. As mentioned those identified elite talents will then continue in a route that will be only for the few percent in my country. They will carry on in top schools and institute and might also continue their studies abroad in top ranking universities in US or UK. After which these people will or may return to their homeland and either participate in politic or in business activity(either which they will still be in the same category such as the old boys' club).For these people, they'll will have the same hang-out place, similar restaurants they visit, same golf course they show their talent(especially the one along thomson road) etc. With such cluster, people of the same group will tends to meet people of the same category, marry the same kind, give birth and let the inequality gap widens. At the same time although the middle and low-income family's children still hold a chance of performing well and "promote" to the elite level, they are already in disadvantage in terms of not having the affluent to be able to attend extra lessons to excel their academic performances, learn musical instruments to improve their attribute and banded into the common academic group which further lower their opportunities to show their very own and individual talent. Worse still with the banding system, the lower bands group are more vulnerable to discrimination and those who cannot make it in life. Therefore, being a state known also as democratic, is this system really offers everyone a chance an opportunity?Or instead with its meritocracy system it has brought out elite that bring vast improvement to the country at the expense of other commoners?
So does meritocracy contradicts democracy?

HOT HOT HOT WARM WARM WARM!

Look at the difference in feels like and measure temp.!!

Its 9.38 in the night, should the weather be cooling and mild with slow moving air under the stars awaiting for wednesday's eclipse?but guess what its HOT!it has been a "trend" in Singapore now that the temperature doesn't really capture the "temperature" maybe because the hotness might just be due to something else, or a mixture of alot of things else. Mayb we should invent a hotnessmeter, something more accurate.

Can Our World Still Works Base on Trust?

Selfishness, cons, mistrust, betrayal have all manifest our human lifes. Apparently it is all these fucking human behaviour that made human being losing trust with one another.Would you ever dare to reveal your personal information to some hi-bye friends? you'll most probably not because you never know what they can do with those information. Sadly and truly, thats what everyone cityman thinks about. Are these human nature or effects of modern lifes?I guess i would go with effects on human lifes by the revolution of modern life because i use to listen to my grandmother talking about her life in the past. Definitely everyone was poor, at least most, but they seems to be bonded very strongly, maybe this is because of the small villages they live in and the lack of communication devices so as they only have the neighbours to chat with and thus building strong relationship and trust. In the past people might not have heard of a lock because either it has not been invented or they are too poor to afford or most likely they do not need one. People trust each other in the past certainly more than now. It may be the greed that has change human but nevertheless greed has also play a strong part in our economy and contributing to the higher income level that we are receving now. I think life is fair, when you are awarded with something, something would be taken. therefore, maybe because of the material benefits we are given, we have lose our values, our trust among one another which i think will never ever be able to bought by money or substituted with materials, its just a shame to human beings.

Smoking






Source:www.lesmoking.com

Undoubtedly smoking harms our health and pollute the air and.......going on with listless of negativites. Nevertheless, i find that in pictures, smoking injects reality to the photos and it brings live to the pictures. Most significantly, the smoke that are puffed out, the shapeless whittish smoke brings out a kind of limitless freedom feeling. The face of the smoker somehow shows a kind of satisfication relax mood, a hedonic kind of attitude. Furthermore, holding the cigrattes brings the image of defiance, a character which smoking can bring out strongly.

The Person with the smallest role making the biggest difference

Maid is often regardless as the person with the minimal role in the family or for some not even included in the family. But just recently when my maid who had worked for us for 6 years left, i just then realised the great impact she left on us.Although what she did seems so trivial in our eyes for example household chores, but adding everything tasks up makes up order cleaniness in our lives. Furthermore, as individual has their own ways of doing things, after years of being acquainted with her ways of arrangment and style, it has certainly cause some fuss now with a new maid. The clothes are not in the right order, the food are not of the same taste, the sugar are too much or little in the coffee etcetra. It can be seen that our lifestyle is muchly dependant on the maid and she does organise our lives.So start taking notice of people surrounding your life and be thankful of any contribution of them that fill up your life.

Some thought after MJ's death

Its have always been about the media, because the strength of the media has the ability to control the readers thinking. Thats why MM Lee before being the biggest party in the singapore once said that he will give Singapore media a lesson for misreporting information on him. It has clearly shown how effective it is. Few years ago when MJ was accused of child molest, papers all over the world report negatively on him causing a plunge of his image. Those cases were solved out of court and made him heavily in debt. From that case onwards, media and link paedophile with MJ and the whole World made joke out of it. Nevertheless, now when he's gone, newspaper are filled with article of his sad life where he live with loneliness, disguise friend and kinship jus for money and his miserable childhood, which explain his hunger for childhood experience once again. He not growing up being love could have been one reason for him being mistaken as paedophile because he does not know to love, not knowing how to expressing love. So what's the use now to show how good a man is when he is dead?The "victim" of the child molest case has recently came out to claim MJ's innocent, but is now of little use. Is it human to only treasure when it is gone?why can we never learn from the past?He has funded numerous charity and help out in multiple voluntary work, these are known for clear as every single one sees.Therefore comparing to those child molest case with unclear background information we should sometime analyse and think instead of being manipulate by the media. may he rest in peace.
