Rana Plaza Tragedy |
সাংবাদিক চেয়ে বেতন উল্লেখ করে বিভিন্ন জাতীয় দৈনিকে বিজ্ঞাপন দিয়ে আলোচনার তৈরি করেছে প্রকাশিতব্য বলে ঘোষিত ‘দৈনিক স্বাধীন বাংলার কণ্ঠ’ এবং ‘দৈনিক বর্তমান বাংলাদেশ’। পত্রিকা দুটোর ডামি সংখ্যাও বেরোচ্ছে এখন। .................
দেশের বেশ কয়েকটি জাতীয় দৈনিকে প্রকাশিত এই পত্রিকা দুটির বিজ্ঞাপনে দেখা যায় ভারপ্রাপ্ত সম্পাদকের বেতন ধরা হয়েছে ৫ লাখ টাকা, সাথে বলা হচ্ছে ‘গাড়ি ও ড্রাইভার ফ্রি’।, অন্যান্য বেতন হচ্ছে যুগ্ম সম্পাদক ৩ লাখ, সহযোগী সম্পাদক ২ লাখ, সহকারি সম্পাদক ১.৫০ লাখ টাকা, ফিচার সম্পাদক ১.৫০ লাখ, ফিচার লেখক ৫০ হাজার, বিশেষ সংবাদদাতা ১.২৫ লাখ, প্রধান প্রতিবেদক ১ লাখ, জ্যেষ্ঠ প্রতিবেদক ৮০ হাজার এবং প্রতিবেদক ৫০ হাজার টাকা; যা সাধারণত দেশের আর কোনো পত্রিকায় সবাইকে দেয়া হয়না। LINK
4) "Neo-liberalism" =========>>
"Neoliberalism means the neo-colonization of Latin America." ........ LINK
Explanation .....
Around the world, neo-liberalism has been imposed by powerful financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. It is raging all over Latin America. The first clear example of neo-liberalism at work came in Chile (with thanks to University of Chicago economist Milton Friedman), after the CIA-supported coup against the popularly elected Allende regime in 1973. Other countries followed, with some of the worst effects in Mexico where wages declined 40 to 50% in the first year of NAFTA while the cost of living rose by 80%. Over 20,000 small and medium businesses have failed and more than 1,000 state-owned enterprises have been privatized in Mexico. As one scholar said, "Neoliberalism means the neo-colonization of Latin America."
5) The main points of neo-liberalism include:
i) THE RULE OF THE MARKETii) CUTTING PUBLIC EXPENDITURE FOR SOCIAL SERVICES
iii) DEREGULATION
iv) PRIVATIZATION
v) ELIMINATING THE CONCEPT OF "THE PUBLIC GOOD" or "COMMUNITY" and replacing it with "individual responsibility."
6) Neoliberalism has brought out the worst in us ===>>
Our society constantly proclaims that anyone can make it if they just try hard enough, all the while reinforcing privilege and putting increasing pressure on its overstretched and exhausted citizens. An increasing number of people fail, feeling humiliated, guilty and ashamed. We are forever told that we are freer to choose the course of our lives than ever before, but the freedom to choose outside the success narrative is limited. Furthermore, those who fail are deemed to be losers or scroungers, taking advantage of our social security system. .... LINK7) Quote ....
"Bullying used to be confined to schools; now it is a common feature of the workplace." LINK
7-a) “infantilisation of the workers” ===>>
Constant evaluations at work cause a decline in autonomy and a growing dependence on external, often shifting, norms. This results in what the sociologist Richard Sennett has aptly described as the “infantilisation of the workers”. Adults display childish outbursts of temper and are jealous about trivialities (“She got a new office chair and I didn’t”), tell white lies, resort to deceit, delight in the downfall of others and cherish petty feelings of revenge. This is the consequence of a system that prevents people from thinking independently and that fails to treat employees as adults.
7-b) A neoliberal meritocracy would have us believe that success depends on individual effort and talents, meaning responsibility lies entirely with the individual and authorities should give people as much freedom as possible to achieve this goal. For those who believe in the fairytale of unrestricted choice, self-government and self-management are the pre-eminent political messages, especially if they appear to promise freedom. Along with the idea of the perfectible individual, the freedom we perceive ourselves as having in the west is the greatest untruth of this day and age.
7-c) the paradox of our era ===>>
“Never have we been so free. Never have we felt so powerless.”Our presumed freedom is tied to one central condition: we must be successful – that is, “make” something of ourselves. You don’t need to look far for examples. A highly skilled individual who puts parenting before their career comes in for criticism. A person with a good job who turns down a promotion to invest more time in other things is seen as crazy – unless those other things ensure success. A young woman who wants to become a primary school teacher is told by her parents that she should start off by getting a master’s degree in economics – a primary school teacher, whatever can she be thinking of?There are constant laments about the so-called loss of norms and values in our culture. Yet our norms and values make up an integral and essential part of our identity. So they cannot be lost, only changed. And that is precisely what has happened: a changed economy reflects changed ethics and brings about changed identity. The current economic system is bringing out the worst in us.
