We are too quick to use the words "democracy" and "freedom of speech" and "transaprency" but we lack the inherent understanding and belief in the words. Looking at the candidates debates for the parliament of Maldives it is evident that most candidates have a set speech with these buzz words. I wonder if they fully understand what they preach. Social media is another avenue where people express their opinions and get challenged and at times bullied for their expression. I wonder where we draw the line of reasonable debate and argumentation and bullying? This applies for media as well; when is it victims privacy over freedom of information? Untill as a society we understand these words and their importance and at times legislate in these areas, we will keep abusing these important terminology.
The world is what we make of it...this is what i make of the world!
