Mary J Blige Hairstyle Indeep Inside

Informare col sudoku

begin to turn myself around. Watch, read, ask, trying to understand a bit 'more of this reality by studying its problems, deepening the themes of the projects with which I will have to do for most of my time here. I begin with what I feel closer to my studies and interests: the right to information and the need for active citizenship which will oversee the political power.
I first came across in Transparency International's 2009 Report on World Corruption Barometer. The massive pdf clearly shows that corruption still greatly influence the management of public affairs in the world and how developing countries are particularly prone to this type of administrative malfunction. More specifically, it is mainly the poor people to be oppressed by the constant demands for bribes by local funzionai with which they can ensure easier access to vital services. In rural areas the situation is aggravated by the almost total indifference of the state and the relative absence of social services. In many countries, rural residents do not have either a birth certificate: citizens are not even considered, let alone to be graceful if voters with promises of development during the campaign elettorale! Qui vige il controllo quasi totale di baroni e caporali con le mani in pasta che fungono da ponte tra i centri di potere locali e le richieste di chi non ha mai visto.
Poi, una bella presentazione power point sull’Orissa rappresenta con un colorato grafico alcune percentuali interessanti: più del 40 percento della popolazione vive sotto la soglia della povertà, circa il 70 percento della popolazione è rurale e quasi la metà di questa è analfabeta.
Proprio mentre sto facendo il facile raffronto tra i due documenti, ne arriva un terzo che stravolge il 2+2 che stavo facendo, sballando lo scontato risultato: L’India ha approvato nel 2005 una legge sul diritto all’informazione ed alla administrative transparency that has been recognized as one of the most advanced and democratic world. The Right To Information Act of 2005 provides the right of every citizen to have access to all information and administrative procedure in order to control public authorities. The RTI Act ruled that "Information is the oxygen of democracy and that all government information is the property of the people." It is a law that seeks to promote not only the administrative transparency, but also encourage people to take part in decisions concerning them, encourage active citizenship, thereby ensuring a genuine democratic ruler. Organizations civil society are encouraged to use RTI as a tool to monitor the actions of public officials and expose abuses of power. Across the state have a duty to make available the required documentation within 60 days of the request for enhanced transparency.
When I'm about to say "But ah!", Resting on the desk on a newsletter I read that only 4 percent of the rural population has heard of the Right To Information Act and that 68 percent of Indians considered the extremely corrupt political parties. At this point what to infer? As someone said in my part of "the talk are at zero, there a gulf between the country's real and virtual, who brings to the four winds the many virtues of the Indian body of legislation and those who fight to hold up a day longer than their "corpus, among those who praised India as the largest democracy in the world and those who do not even know how to spell the word democracy. I am reminded of a question a few days ago read in a book by Arundhati Roy: "Could it be that democracy has so much happened between modern humanity precisely because it reflects their biggest flaw: myopia?".
I, that the questions have always been good to them that the most responsive, certainly not stay here stunned by the redundancy of the percentages trying to do with reason. JRP acts as coordinating a breakfast of NGOs is carrying out a note on the information campaign in Orissa Right To Information and tomorrow is a scheduled event to raise awareness in a village not too far here. So, given that, as Goethe said, "art is long, life short, the court hard and good at passing," I do not miss the opportunity and ask if we can go get Manu part event to begin to see how they work in the field on this issue.
I go to bed early tonight, wake up at 6 tomorrow. Lying in bed, with the PC me hot la pancia, do un occhiata al sito internet governativo interamente dedicato al RTI. Leggo un intervento del Primo Ministro indiano a sostegno della nuova legge che da lì a breve sarà votata in Parlamento: “I believe that the passage of this bill will see the dawn of a new era in our processes of governance, an era of performance and efficiency, an era which will ensure that benefits of growth flow to all sections of our people, an era which will eliminate the scourge of corruption, an era which will truly fulfil the hopes of the founding fathers of our Republic.” (Shri. Manmohan Singh, May 2005).  Non solo le statistiche sono un opinione in India, but it seems that the same perception of time. This "was" gold mentioned by Singh do not know how close and how realistic it is. For now, the founding fathers of the Republic are still turning in his grave waiting for this great era, and indeed we even have a grave in which to revolt! I also find the posters that the government has released to promote RTI. Now I understood why this "was" not yet arrived: the fault of the poster, attractive and explanatory as a yellowed page of sudoku found on the ground in the streets of Las Vegas.
