Why some people follow politicans blindly


Aqeel -Ahmad

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,...

FOREIGN POLICY: A CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING

  FOREIGN POLICY:  A CONCEPTUAL  UNDERSTANDING             Foreign policy is one of the wheels for the international policy process. Foreign policy is not independent, but rather is part of, national policy. It comprises of national interest, which in respect to other States should be promoted. Almost every country determines the path of its external policy in accordance with its strengths and external realities. Foreign policy also includes non-political interactions. The term ‘foreign policy has been defined in a number of ways. 1.       George Modelski defines it as, “The system of activities evolved by communities for changing the behavior of other states and for adjusting their own activities to the international environment” . In its definition, Modelsky only stressed the main foreign policy objectives as those components aimed at changing the current behavior of states. Foreign poli...

The Duality of Character: Unveiling Authenticity and Ethics in Public and Personal Lives

I have observed that many individuals appear to possess a level of understanding, maturity, and ethics in certain social contexts. However, when it comes to their personal lives, they seem to lack these qualities. For instance, a man who presents himself as ethical and mature in the company of other men may not display the same level of respect and maturity when interacting with women. This inconsistency between their public image and personal behavior diminishes the respect I have for them. I believe that true character is reflected not only in how people present themselves publicly but also in their actions and ethics in their private lives. Respect is earned through consistent and genuine behavior that aligns with one's principles. It is essential to surround oneself with individuals who demonstrate authenticity and ethical conduct in both social and personal settings, fostering meaningful and respectful relationships.
