"A táborban a srácok katonai kiképzést kapnak uniformissal, hóban gyakorlatozással, sárban kúszással, gázmaszkban meneteléssel. A képek tanúsága szerint félmeztelenül kell bicskázniuk a hidegben, és talán valamilyen üvöltésterápia is szerepel a programban (vagy csak nagyon fáj nekik kedvenc MMO-juk hiánya). Amikor nem gyakorlatoznak, akkor lovagolni tanulnak vagy kreatív műhelymunkákon vesznek részt. Természetesen a táborban nem kapnak számítógépet és konzolt, és mobiltelefonjaikat is csak napi egy órát használhatják. A családjukkal nem tarthatják a kapcsolatot, teljesen magukra vannak utalva."
Ha fake, akkor is nice. :-)

"Once praised as a universal panacea, microlenders are now being widely attacked as predatory loan sharks. In December 2010, Sheik Hasina Wazed, the prime minister of Bangladesh and former microcredit advocate, accused microcredit programs of “sucking blood from the poor in the name of poverty alleviation.”
What happened?
It turns out there are two very different models of microcredit. As Muhammad Yunus, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize, pointed out in his January 15, 2011 New York Times op-ed, one type of microcredit program is designed to serve the poor; another to maximize financial returns to program managers and Wall Street investors.
The differences raise crucial questions for the future directions of microfinance. They also help us see where the banking system here in the United States went off course and how we must restructure it to support prosperous Main Street economies."
Mi a gond (jééé, micsoda újdonság):
"For the groups that turned to Wall Street for financing, the line between social purpose microcredit and predatory loan sharking began to disappear, with some programs charging annual interests rates of more than 100 percent. Programs that had raised philanthropic funding to help put money into poor communities became vehicles for sucking wealth out of them to generate financial profits for already wealthy people."
"Say an equity investor in the United States buys shares in a microcredit program in India. The investor pays for the shares in U.S. dollars and in turn expects to be paid in U.S. dollars. The microlender, however, does business in Indian rupees.
The dollars, therefore, are exchanged for rupees in the foreign exchange market and become part of India’s foreign exchange pool, which funds consumer imports, machinery, foreign scholarships, capital flight, arms imports, foreign travel, and whatever other uses India may have for dollars—virtually none of which benefit the poor.
If the microlender meets its profit projections, this creates claims by the foreign investors on India’s foreign exchange reserves potentially many times the amount of the original investment. To fulfill this obligation, India must produce goods and service for sale abroad or sell or mortgage additional assets to foreigners, which creates still greater claims against future foreign exchange earnings. The community in which the borrowers reside will be dealing only in rupees, but faces a similar external drain on its resources to meet the borrowers’ obligations to the lending organization.
Say the microlending supported an increase in village food production. Rather than improving the diets of the workers who produce it, however, a portion of their additional production must be sold to outsiders to generate the rupees to repay their debts.
In return for a short-term inflow of money, both India and the village bind themselves to a long-term outflow of money and real wealth. It is an insidious dynamic that supports a classic pattern of colonization and wealth concentration long characteristic of foreign equity investment and loan funded foreign aid. A small short-term economic gain can come at a large long-term cost when it is funded with outside debt or equity."
"A második kísérletben 152 diákot kedvenc elfoglaltságaikról kérdeztek, de egy előre összeállított listából is válogathattak. A listán többek között szerepeltek a következő események is: kapni egy nagyobb pénzösszeget, találkozni a legjobb baráttal, bulizni a haverokkal, a kedvenc ételekből álló lakoma, szeretkezni, illetve valamilyen önértékelést erősítő élményt átélni. E vizsgálat eredményei szerint is a legtöbben az önbizalmat erősítő élményekre vágytak, függetlenül attól, hogy mikor volt utoljára részük ilyenben."
152 fő nem olyan sok, tévedhet a minta...
Másrészt, meg mondhatnánk, hogy ez jó, hiszen a Maslowi piramis alján elhelyezkedő ösztönök( (kaja-szex) helyett egy magasabb rendű igényt kielégítésére vágynak a fiatalok, amit munkával tehetséggel érhetnek el... Egyfajta szociális igény kielégítése, ami talán megkülönbözteti az embert az állatok (nagy részétől)...
Bár személy szerint én úgy vagyok vele, hogy a legjobban az esik, amikor megdícsérnek, hogy milyen feledhetetlen volt a szex velem azután a finom vacsora után...:-)
„1. Globalization makes us unhappy. More stuff and more wealth has meant less contact with community, rising levels of depression, jobs with longer hours, more time spent working at home and longer commutes. "Lonely people have never been happy people and globalization is creating a very lonely planet," says author and activist Vandana Shiva.
2. Globalization breeds insecurity. Corporations are raising our children and driving what they eat, buy, wear and what they care about. Identity that was once shaped by one's culture and language, molded by community leaders and family, is now filled by marketers. Across the world, sales of blue contact lenses are on the rise, along with products to lighten skin and hair as people try to fulfill a Western ideal and an emulation of American life.
3. Globalization wastes natural resources. Consumerism is threatening the planet, natural resources are stretched to the breaking point and yet we have an economic system that encourages us to consume more and more, says Norberg-Hodge. Consumer culture is increasingly urban and when rural people move to the city the food they used to grow themselves is now grown on industrial-sized chemical-intensive farms. Food must be trucked to cities, waste must be trucked out. Large dams are needed to provide water and huge centralized power plants must be fueled by coal and uranium mines.
4. Globalization accelerates climate change. Globalization's "success" is often attributed to efficiencies of scale, but mostly it is fueled by deregulation and hidden subsidies that make food from around the globe cost less than food from down the street. With efficiencies of scale, it's really the opposite, says British MP Zac Goldsmith, "Tuna caught off the east coast of America is flown to Japan, processed and flown back to America to be sold to consumers; English apples are flown to South Africa to be waxed, flown back to England to be sold."
Treaties like NAFTA promote international growth through economic trade, which sounds good on paper, except that you end up with countries importing and exporting nearly identical amounts of the same products -- which means we're needlessly shipping goods across the world that we are already producing at home.
5. Globalization destroys livelihoods. Pension funds are now at the mercy of speculation. In the Global South, small farmers are being displaced from their land and forced to move to urban areas where they become cheap labor for factories producing more goods.
6. Globalization increases conflict. In Ladakh, Buddhists and Muslims who lived side by side for 500 years without conflict turned on each other after globalization caused unemployment and stiff competition for new commodities. Around the world, competition for scarce resources and jobs has resulted in the demonization of differences that were once accepted.
7. Globalization is built on handouts to big business. "If there is one thing that political parties from the left to the right seem to agree on today, it is the power and value of the free market," says Goldberg. "But the irony is that the majority of really polluting things that happen today wouldn't exist in a genuinely free market -- nuclear power, for example, wouldn't exist without massive state support ... We're about as far away from a free market as it's possible to be."
Globalization has resulted in subsidies for some of the wealthiest multinationals as well as the deregulation of trade and finance. "It is basically a system that criminalizes the small producer and processor and deregulates the giant business," says Shiva.
8. Globalization is based on false accounting. Our current economic model is based on infinite growth on a finite planet, which is a recipe for disaster. Political leaders believe that more economic growth is the answer to all our problems -- bailouts to big banks, stimulus to make us spend more, carbon trading schemes -- but all these do is reinforce a system that is inherently broken.
Our way of measuring our worth is so twisted says Helena Norberg-Hodge, that when there is "an oil spill, the GDP goes up; when drinking water is so polluted we have to buy it in bottles, GDP goes up. War, cancer, epidemic illnesses -- all of these involve an exchange of money, so they end up on the positive side of the balance sheet." ”
A cikk alapvetően az Economics of Happiness ( http://www.theeconomicsofhappiness.org/) dokumentumfilmről szól. Álljon itt még egy részlet, aztán a továbbiak a linken olvashatók.
„The things we measure and count -- quite literally -- tell us what we value as a society and determine the policy agendas of governments. The Genuine Progress Index (GPI) presents a better way to measure our societal progress and well being. The GPI assigns explicit value to environmental quality, population health, livelihood security, equity, free time, and educational attainment. It values unpaid voluntary and household work as well as paid work. It counts sickness, crime and pollution as costs not gains.”
Le a GDP-vel! :)
Román csalódás.
"A Nemzetközi Valutaalapnak (IMF) Romániával csaknem két évvel ezelőtt megkötött hitelmegállapodása után a legnagyobb csalódása az, hogy nem sikerült növekedési pályára állítani már 2010-ben a román gazdaságot - jelentette ki Jeffrey Franks, az IMF romániai küldöttségének vezetője."

Hát marha jó...A biztosítók nem vehetik figyelembe a nemek közötti különbségekből eredő kockázatkülönbségeket...
Hát wazzeg, engem meg diszkriminálhatnak , mert fővárosi vagyok? Vagy azért mert fiatal?
Agyament dolog ez a különbségek megszüntetésére irányuló kozmopolita világszemlélet!
Én amondó vagyok, hogy mi vagyunk férfiak és nők, gyerekek felnőttek és öregek, vagyunk fehérek, feketék, sárgák, rézbőrűek. És minden csoportnak megvan a maga karakterisztikája, kár tagadni, kár egységesíteni, uniformizálni a világot, mert azért vagyunk ennyifélék, mert ez így jó az emberiség túlélési esélyeinek szempontjából.
Iszonyatos nagy álszenteskedés megy, leginkább az a célja ezeknek a liberális kozmoidiótáknak, hogy az embereket önvédelemre képtelen egok fogyasztói masszájává degradálja...
Ne legyünk kisstílűek!
Ha már csinálnánk, csinálhatnánk nagyban ...

"Magyarországra járnak cigarettát vásárolni az osztrákok
Magyarországon vesz cigarettát sok osztrák vásárló, mert az év elején emelkedett a dohánytermékek ára Ausztriában - jelentette az osztrák rádió internetes honlapja."
egészségükre...
Ukrajnában meg sok magyar vásárló vesz dohányt,üzemanyagot.
