Tragedy of Great Power Politics

Aqeel -Ahmad       The Tragedy of Great Power Politics is a book by John Mearsheimer, a political scientist at the University of Chicago. In the book, Mearsheimer argues that the fundamental cause of war in the international system is the existence of great powers, and that the only way to prevent war is to create a system of bipolarity, where there are only two great powers. He contends that in a bipolar system, the two great powers are deterred from going to war with one another because they would be aware that doing so would result in mutually assured destruction. Mearsheimer's theory is based on the idea of offensive realism, which states that states are primarily concerned with their own security, and that they will always seek to maximize their power in order to ensure their survival. In the context of international politics, this means that states will always be looking to expand their territory and influence, and that this quest for power is the primary driver of ...

Limited Knowledge In Society

  Limited Knowledge In Society Aqeel -Ahmad How people with limited knowledge has taken over society    It's not uncommon for people with limited knowledge to hold positions of power and influence in society. This can happen for a variety of reasons. For example, some people may be successful at manipulating others or may have charisma that allows them to gain followers. In other cases, people with limited knowledge may be elected to positions of power by voters who are not well-informed about the issues. Additionally, the education system and media play a role in shaping public knowledge and understanding, and if these sources are not providing accurate or comprehensive information, it can contribute to the rise of leaders with limited knowledge. Ultimately, it's important for individuals to be proactive in educating themselves and seeking out reliable sources of information in order to make informed decisions and hold those in power accountable.

THE YOUTH OF PRIVILEGED EMOTIONS

The head spinning phenomenon when someone asks you a question you don't know the answer to that a lot of other people have asked you before? Well, that's what's been lately. Educated people who share Rumi quotes have been doing that more than the ones who don't even know who Rumi is. I find it fascinating how people so confidently post inspirational quotes and think that their lives are entitled to living according to it, and when it comes to conversing about the confusion of the lost lives the youth of privileged emotions* are living nowadays, they forget that they had posted that quote on Instagram they are ignoring in this conversation and (un)knowingly spreading the hurt they felt at that moment they hit share. This head spinning is ok. We are fine as we are. And we don't need the world to tell us what to do and how to feel. Social media gets us. Our misery can be shared by the lit screens in our hands. Our hands are being held by electrons, sent to us by hands ...
