1/2

The discussion on gunfire weapons is universal, and the Nuclear pact between India andthe USA has played it up more. As is the nature of man, we all tend to look at the darkerside of all things. Our world is riding on a heap of Gunfire is the topic and I disagreewith it.

I dont deny that we have begun depending more on weapons than on face to face verbalduel, terrorism is taking its toil, but the world, after the disaster of the World Wars, still hasa long way to go before it decides on a Third World War, which then will be the end ofmankind.

Also the cautious steps of man in this field are helped being restricted by theincreasing rate of globalization and development, two factors which has given man theconfidence that on no account shall some terrorist organizations be allowed to destroy theworld we have so painstakingly built, a world we can hide ourselves in.

The vision of world society for the Millennium has clearly emerged in the notion ofglobalization. In contrast to the still aggressively anticommunist 'New World Order' thatopened the nineties, the 'kinder, gentler' and more self-evidently hegemonic 'globalization'of the dominant international discourse is a 'post communist' and even statement of a worldbecoming more and more unified in a progressive neo-classical and neo-liberal systemproclaiming free choice, free enterprise and free labor.

The advancing of technology is another aspect of development. Cosmologists haverecently found traces of water in a planet-150 light years from Earth. Nas is also planningan expedition to Mars in 2010- with human beings on board. In the Medical science too,there have been many breakthroughs. Ways to convert all blood groups o type O have beenfound, which can be donated to anyone. Doctors in AIIMS have used the cornea of a singleperson, to provide sight to three patients.

Even in Cricket, in which decisions made by the umpires on field used to be final, cannow be questioned by the third umpire, thanks to hawk-eye technology which is installed inevery pat of the field, even the wickets.

Most importantly due to globalization, the developed world is focusing more ondeveloping the third world countries by providing various social, technological as well aseconomical aids to women of both rural and urban sectors of the developing world. India isnow on the way to becoming a developed country. Its economy too is booming. TheRupee which had been Rs. 42.00 as compared to 1$, has come down to an average of Rs.40.58. The BSE Sensex for the 1st time on the 9th of July touched the 15,000 mark, now itsriding high.

In this completely new world, age is no factor. Recently a 67 year old, Meet

Ramanimohan Pal was heard to have applied for class 12 examinations. And looking at theother side of it, are theyoung prodigies who have now empowered the world. World no. 2,chess player, 19-year-old Kolleru Humpy is an example. The Harry Potter trio too, whowon our hearts over as the young 11 year olds in the 1st movie, are now among the richestkids on Earth, with Emma Watson worth $23.5 million and Rupert Grint having $20million. But topping the list is 17-year-old Daniel Radcliffe, who with $ 50 million is therichest kid in England.

A new word counterterrorism has been introduced which refers to the practices, tactics,techniques, and strategies that governments, militaries, and other groups adopt in order tofight terrorism. Today, many countries have special units designated to handle terroristthreats. Besides various security agencies, there are elite tactical units whose role is todirectly engage terrorists and prevent terrorist attacks. Also fighting terrorism is bringing

people of different places together to work for the most conerning issues. SAARC is arecent example. SAARC provides a platform for the peoples of South Asia to worktogether in a spirit of friendship, trust and understanding. It aims to accelerate the processof economic and social development in Member States.

What remains now is to see how far the world goes from here, there is always a dark and alight side of everything and it depends on man how he see it. Because in the end, the factremains that its not how far you go, what matters is the direction you go in.
