Interesting piece on Russian recent (few decades) politics, history, rule of law, and transition. Newsweek January 2nd edition. Click here.
Gd tht Russia,China..BRIC countries nw r emerging powers. Lessening U.S. But I’m skeptical over their neglect for justice. N ppl everywher celebrate d emerging powers,merely cz they dnt like U.S. Shows tht what we value is economy $$$. Other values?
Thts problematic cz this reflects how we c things,domestically,in our own homes,in ourselves.Fikiran wang & materialisme (shj). N whn we hv social issues,tht stems fr family values,&lives of d rich&stupid r threatend,theyre unable 2 articulate root prob.
Did we go through/for civilization,education,globalization, to become less wise & more wealthy?Less community & more self?
