Why some people follow politicans blindly

There are a variety of reasons why some people may follow politicians blindly. Some possible factors include:

Lack of critical thinking skills:

Some individuals may not have the ability or desire to critically evaluate political claims and may instead accept what politicians say without question.

Emotion-based decision making:

People may be drawn to certain politicians based on emotions such as fear, anger, or hope, rather than rational analysis. This can make them more likely to follow politicians blindly.

Lack of information:

Some individuals may not have access to accurate and reliable information about politicians and their policies, which can make it difficult for them to make informed decisions.

Social influence:

People may follow politicians blindly due to social pressure or because they want to conform to the beliefs of those around them.

Political polarization:

In some cases, people may be so deeply entrenched in a particular political ideology or party that they are unwilling to consider alternative perspectives, leading to a blind following of their preferred political figure or party.

Trusting on charisma:

Some people may follow politicians blindly because they find the politician to be charismatic and inspiring, and they may trust their decisions without evaluating them critically.

It's important to note that blind following of politicians can lead to poor decision making and can undermine democracy, as citizens are not making informed choices about who represents them and what policies are in their best interest.

DHUL-QARNAYN'S SPACE TRAVEL

DHUL-QARNAYN'S SPACE TRAVEL In every age, there have been certain verses of the Quran that could not be fathomed. Surah al-Kahf is one of the most interesting Surahs of the Quran. This surah is very ambiguous, in the sense that every story in this Surah contains subtle and profound meanings. The story of Moses and Khidr (PBUH) is placed right before the story of Dhul-Qarnayn, and it recounts the patience of Moses who couldn’t make any sense of even perceived as evil- the actions of Khidr, and it tells his learning of the true nature of those actions when his patience was exhausted. The main message of that story is: Even if you don’t comprehend the insights of certain things that came from God, keep holding on tenaciously to God and His religion. In order to test whether we have internalized this message or not, God narrates a very ambiguous story, story of Dhul-Qarnayn right after the story of Moses and Khidr (PBUH). Since it is sprinkled with many weird phrases and expressions,...

Syrian Civil War 2.0 ( Predicting the Future )

The removal of Bashar al-Assad from power would not stabilize the Middle East; instead, it could plunge the region into deeper chaos and serve the strategic interests of Israel and other external powers. Here’s how the situation might evolve, incorporating an international relations (IR) perspective: 1. Israel’s Strategic Gains and Long-Term Goals From an IR perspective, Israel’s actions would align with its offensive realist approach, aiming to maximize its security and regional dominance. Control over Golan Heights: By fully annexing the Golan Heights, Israel would secure its borders and gain access to vital water resources, further solidifying its territorial advantage. Weakening Hezbollah: Israel would exploit Syria's chaos to disrupt Hezbollah’s supply lines from Iran via Syria. With Hezbollah isolated, Israel could intensify its military actions in Lebanon. Pressure on Lebanon: Israel’s strikes on Hezbollah-controlled areas in Lebanon would highlight the Lebanese government’...

Hedonic Treadmill: Understanding the Concept and its Impact on Human Happiness

The pursuit of happiness is ingrained in human nature. Every individual strives to achieve a state of contentment and joy in their life. However, despite our efforts to reach this elusive goal, the feeling of happiness seems to be fleeting. This phenomenon can be explained by the concept of hedonic treadmill, also known as hedonic adaptation. The term "hedonic treadmill" was coined by Brickman and Campbell in 1971, based on their research on happiness. It refers to the tendency of individuals to return to their baseline level of happiness despite experiencing positive or negative events in their lives. In simpler terms, it means that individuals get used to changes in their life, both positive and negative, and their overall level of happiness remains relatively constant. To understand this concept better, let us take an example. Imagine that you have been dreaming of a new car for a long time and finally, you are able to buy it. You feel ecstatic and thrilled with your new p...
