Social structure adjustment
DEAR EDITOR,
As I look at the news and see murder continuously occurring, it supports my hypothesis that social structure change is needed. If you only treat the symptoms of societal ills, you have to keep medicating indefinitely, as is Guyana’s present trajectory.
Neither, the PPP or PNC intends to do anything but magic shows like strong police presence or miniscule social intervention. It is no surprise that homicides are prevalent and endemic throughout the Caribbean. The social structures are similar. The developed world, like the US and Europe, has gotten mainly the middle class to pay for a welfare state that somewhat pacifies the marginalized. Capitalism, socialism and communism are outdated therefore a more inclusive socio-economic system is required.
Only if you live in lala land you believe the people at the bottom of the socio-economic system get a fair opportunity for social mobility. There are token extremely poor that rise but it is the exception not the rule. I borrow from Bob Marley, “is war”!!
Yours truly,
Brian E. Plummer
