In A Nutshell

I love putting things in a nutshell.
It makes life less complex. less complicated
Simplicity is elegance, they say. Elegance = Refined, Finest, Beautiful.

Enough with MY philosophies, moving on to the nutshell . . . .

3 topics to deal with . . .

-Rebranding Capitalism
-Environmental Responsibilities vs. National Development
-Alternative Media & Its Evolving Role

All three issues are well phrased and straight to the point.

Why? We are facing these issues in the present day.
Why now? Simply because we are experiencing the product of this phenomenon we label as 'globalization'
Why bother? Like it or not, these are the realities YOUTHS have to deal with for the sake of the SUSTAINABILITY of HUMANITY.

Allow me to stuff more into the nutshell. . . .

2 of the said issues (Rebranding Capitalism & Environ. Responsibilities v. National Dev) must be discussed under the huge umbrella of economics. In discussing Alternative Media & Its Evolving Role, the social, political and legal implications must be dwelt into.

On capitalism, the question is whether it is still relevant in this globalized stage?
Some suggest that 'pure' capitalism no longer exist as the capitalism exist in the present is built on the fundamentals of a hybrid of economic system. The collision between globalization and capitalism leads to a new branding of capitalism.

On Environmental Responsibilities vs National Development, there must be a balanced equation between awareness on environmental sustainability and awareness of the needs and reality of development.
As for now, the equation is far from balance. My authority by saying so?
GLOBAL WARMING, FOOD INSECURITY, LAND DEGRADATION, POLLUTION.

Alternative Media & Its Evolving Role is another interesting topic.
However, I shall put it in another nutshell for another day.
