Our Destitute Nations
At the present time many young people lost their focus because of the hyper and attractive images of communication and technology. While the distance is becoming shorter to shorter through the fascination of technology, the gap of mutual relationship and understanding from one to another, become larger to larger. The youth living in a certain circumstantiate where they become more individualistic and blast by instantiate of information through technology.
The complex problems is we are travelling at breakneck speed into an age of extremes – extremes in wealth and poverty, extremes in technology and experiments that scientists want to perform, extreme forces of globalism, weapons of of mass destruction and terrorists acting in the name of religion. But meanwhile today most human beings especially young people in the third word countries are trapped in lifestyles or social conditions in which they develop only a fraction of their potential. Lives can be wasted in so many ways – drudgery work, watching bad television many hours a day, women being denied the potential that men have, and a shopping and consumerism culture. Most people could be much more creative. The potentials of human capability will become much greater because of the cornucopia of new technology and fundamental changes in the way enterprises are managed.
While up town young people in third world countries live by consuming all new trends of technology, and adopt it as their identity, in some part of the nation many children and young people still live in a cycle of steadily worsening poverty, globalization, disease, violence and social chaos.
It is a global problems to solve. Western countries with their rapid power of increasing technologies bring a stimulant impacts and at the same time degradation in social life of third world countries societies. Globalism has to make a right balance between what is global and what local need to be achieved. Otherwise the gap will be larger between richs and poors, and it will leave the nation become destitute as long as the system of capitalism will continue.
The circumstance of destitute nation need a moral challenge from everyone who live in this planet, especially for young people from all nations. A moral challenge of our time is to eradicate extreme poverty and to make education available for everyone. Education may be the single most powerful means for minimizing the clash of civilizations. Education needs to avoid overemphasizing the merits of one specific civilization; it should foster a perspective. Young people should be taught about the harm of chauvinism and propaganda against other religions, economic gap or racisms. They should be taught the inevitable interdependence of the world’s people.
The human-potential principle needs to be pervasive, from the poorest destitute society to the richest high-tech society.
The objective of Cellsbutton#3 is multifaceted, we aim to work on several social issues such as exchange and collaboration amongst young people; national and international communities; professionals from the creative industries; and the promotion of creative urban youth culture. We plan to make connections with innovative meetings, concepts and technology relating to public space in conjunction with the issues of poverty, globalization, disease, violence and social chaos in our destitute country.
The activities are built around series of creative technology, workshops, discussions, debates and public events which deal with Education Focus Program (EFP), which is concentrates on working in New Media art.
