Silence Of The political sociology: Explaining a speech in Jamaican society


The categorization of the hegemonic Jamaican landscape is primarily justifiable reason for bleeding and sophisticated social events. Many of these events are caused by the lack of a monologue of business components. This elite group has benefited from playing in an exponential class proletariat. They have offered their customers the respect of the voice on issues of social concern or political mismanagement. The government's current socio-economic policies are mainly responsible for the erosion of much of the social and economic livelihood of the Jamaican people. The poor are not only suffering, but they are bleeding, while the business class offers the peace of society as an instrument of social change necessary. PIOJ (2004) report, Economic and Social Survey Jamaica, report confirms that the national poverty line, equal to 16 percent. Among the 2, 650.900 inhabitants, there are 424.144 people living in poverty, which the absolute evaluation seems not to disturb the hegemony of this company. In order to achieve this social society that we all desire, through justice and believes that action should be hallmark of leadership.

The categorization of Jamaicans as poor is decreasing (Henry-Lee, 2001), but the indicators of economic growth are not impressive, as our CARICOM counterparts. Looking at absolute numbers, the social realities of the people are not measured or marginally understood. Despite fluctuations in assessments of economic growth, rural poverty continues to be above national figures and those for other cities. Coupled with the economic problems of poverty, rural Jamaica over the past six months there has been a decline in economic activity. As a social scientist, I believe that the current tidal wave of price increases are eroding the economic survival of many of the poor. This means that the economic problems of people in the context of hegemony - silence is destroying the moral fiber of the poor and other social. "What are the poor to do?"

'Once that economic growth was occurring, was that poverty would be reduced' (Henry-Lee, 2001, P.202), but this may change in the Jamaican orthodox phenomenology as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant prices increased ( PIOJ, 2004, P.3.1) with a simultaneous variation in economic difficulties of the poor while the ruling class to expand their physical environment and accumulate services in Europe. To date, the wage constant, the MTTP (tricking the poor ministers), the smallest increases in bus fares (only 67% - what), the huge increases in prices of staple foods and the rise of political leadership are by the 'poor' poorer. These obstacles are not poor because of the challenges facing 'Prince' and 'guards sanity. The increases in electricity, increases learning materials, the latest blatant disregard by the Prime Minister, 'Rt' Honourable Percival James Patterson, for the intellectual outlook of the 'black' academic is appalling and speaks volumes of the silence of the private sector.

The private sector, despite the 'recognition' challenges of governance and the formulation of government policies, continue to hemorrhage in silence, which I understand, indicating the tenants of the PNP on the economy. I realize that there is a unitary Jamaica, but a PNP, JLP and a group of business class. This situation was explained to me in time because there is not the main concern can create in unison, so that Jamaicans can forge around with the interest of all. Instead, we are 'Ps' and 'B'. The socio-political arena has changed to global and national levels for the JLP but the reality is, the average citizen of this society are still clamoring for hegemony and social transformation if development.

It is the business class which is the engine of growth in all societies and public sectors. This group called the conditions of economic activities and provides the atmosphere of governance but the Jamaican team is bleeding from fear and political conformity. Thus, the present proletarian class, the underclass is left to view the heavens for a shelter. When the class of business does not provide that leadership for the company, the class of 'worker' gradually venturing into deviant acts as a means of grappling with the political mismanagement. 'Too many people are comfortable with the present (Bourne, 2005) and the silence of the' underclass' is becoming increasingly deafening. If the class dialectic business continues with this silence, the poor may resort to revolution, in an attempt to understand and come to a logic of their social space.

The old philosophical construct of poverty is primarily the consumption of food of the poorest quintile, but this definition fails to recognize that poor people are social beings with children. A researcher (Henry-Lee) has forwarded a cut, the poor spend most of their income on food, which means that the entrepreneurial class must begin to offer a stand against any erosion of their economic base. If there are currently 424, 100 people who were absolutely poor rising food prices will see them living like?

According to Rapley (1996, p.7), "State intervention to alleviate poverty would inhibit initiative and stifle investment, because it would rely on tax increases." Perspective quoted Dr. Rapley is a clear indication of the position taken by all mainstream economists. This position sees the development as a phenomenon exclusively economic growth that is driven by the free market, but many post-World War II, economists differ on a theory of this construct. Lewis agrees with classicalists like Smith and Keynes that development is primarily economic. Rapley (1996, p.16) stated that, "Lewis argued that in a Third World economy, the salary was fixed at a constant level determined by the minimum levels of existence in traditional family farming." This has ensured a virtually unlimited supply of cheap labor, which has a factor advantage in industrial development (Rapley, 1996 p.16). As a social scientist in charge of development and its determinants, the researcher is aware of the different discourse on the issue, but will analyze both schools of thought before arriving at a consensus.

The Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS, 2002) wrote: "While material poverty affect a large number of families, the report points to the imminent dangers of the most prevalent forms of poverty and thin that include poor health, levels inadequate education, lack of economic assets or access to markets or jobs that would create the environment unsafe physical. and various forms of social exclusion "This report on the core points of view post-1950 scholars on the development that is larger than theory Classicalists was once the epistemological thoughts on development. The article points to other non-economic growth theorizing such as health, education and other psychosocial conditions. So, the author does not seek to continue in the pre-1950 mentality is an epistemological theory as unilateral, but will try to quantify the validity of contemporary developmentalists' perspective on how this is a social, political and economic. This document surrounding the social development in the form of spending on health care and education spending with the intention to use these two (2) determinants of contemporary development in order to establish a causal relationship and / or association between expenditure on social programs and their influence on the levels of development.

Spikes (2002) asks: "Poverty can be considered impossible to obtain the essentials of life, for others it is a matter of low income, for others a problem of social inequality." He goes on to say that "poverty can be explained in terms of material conditions, which are the basic needs, food, clothing and shelter, but limited resource interfere with the ability to capture the essential elements of poverty can be seen as the exclusion ;. European Union defines the poor as persons whose resources (material culture and social) are so limited as to exclude them from minimum acceptable way of life in the Member State in which they live according to benefits as equivalent as claiming social assistance. "

It 's scary to say the least, despite the efforts made in the technological age people living in extreme poverty, which delays the process in which many of these problems should be addressed. Haralambus (1995) "Poverty implies a social undesirable problem that a solution must be found basic services, for example, health and nutrition refuge. This second Drewnowski and Scott Haralambus" is measured by factors related to amount of calories and protein consumed by the individual. Shelter is measured by the device quality of life (housing, etc.) and health is measured by factors such as infant mortality and quality of medical care available.

When individuals are malnourished, the health of these individuals influence them in terms of physical and mental states. A doctor, Dalzell-Ward (1974: 23), commented that "The deprivation of food energy 'will result in excessive fatigue which in turn reduce the social benefits and working conditions and interfere with the well-being." There is, however, indicating a level of development, where, as if an individual is not in good health, this will contribute to fewer working hours and reduced production. The economist Adam Smith said that this would be an indication of reduced economic growth. Professor Todaro (Todaro, 2000) from his perspective, and social development envelope, the political and economic changes in people's lives. Another doctor has shared Dalzell-Ward (1974) when he said:

In fact many of the problems with today's students are actually related to health. Children are not able to learn enough if they are hungry, tired, hung-over from alcohol, or preoccupied with violence. We need to eliminate obstacles that affect the willingness of students to learn. A variety of physical appearances and mental conditions impact students and their ability to pay attention in class anger and refrain from self-destructive impulses.

Eurocentric beliefs that have conquered the world of ideology epistemology becomes difficult for the lawyer 'honest' to be effective. Individualism-profiteerism drives the engine of social life that human beings only to protect themselves, even if it seems that another was helped in the process. Christianity is a byproduct of Eurocentric system and therefore helps to explain its true principle. Europe in an attempt to grab all the epistemology of the ontology of human existence and creation spirituality offered. Christianity functions as if it has the exclusive authority for the ontology of creation. Despite its location, the phenomenology of Christianity subsumes ideological individualism. Unlike other traditional epistemological construct of man, humanity is a principle of their doctrine, but they are iconic because they thought they were modeled delineation Europe first world ideology. The social reality is such that we can not afford to turn a position, people are 'Saddomized' by political structure, and is in the best interest of the hegemony of ensuring that the poor and less fortunate are protected because they have nothing to lose by case of a revolution.
