DE-‘PRESSing’ Behaviour

Apr 06, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

“I cannot hear what you are saying, for who you are deafens me.”

The foregoing is captured in the exposition of the President of the Guyana Press Association, as portrayed in Kaieteur News of April 02. What Ms. Raghubir, depressed as should be, not only on behalf of self-respectful journalists, but of readers of the same ilk, did not elaborate on, was what the young, educated generations also heard, but may be critical of the examples they were set to emulate. Interestingly, no thought seems to have been given to the wide range of images, interpretations, behaviours and commentaries thereon, available online to all those young witnesses, sensible and becoming more sensitive.
So that it is not to be assumed that they necessarily think in the footsteps and bearings of their adult relations, however imperious the latter may be.

But then there are many adults who ponder on Ms. Raghubir’s tearful remarks – journalists in the Caricom neighbourhood, and members of international correspondents’ communities who are immediately alert to their colleagues the world-over are treated daily.The latter groups also relate formally to counterpart government agencies who monitor behaviour of the aforementioned ‘deaf’ across nations, regardless of economic wealth. For, in the process, they must measure those with whom they communicate and negotiate, even sometimes from their own fault lines.

But in the final analysis it is with our children now, and generations immediate and later, to whom our leaders owe accountability for their presumptuous behaviour – that ONE NATION is the same for all?  — unforgiven nevertheless by the Guyana Press Association, and of course those who claim a modicum of experience in professional communication, organisational and human resources management and development, inclusive of performance evaluation.

Humbly,

 EB John
