Free money for security

       What if government says to you that if you have no work due to automation, natural disasters, global health crisis, environmental crisis etc we will give you 'free money' to increase your purchasing power in addition to boost business cycle ? Who will be the first recipient ? On what basis of criterias 'free money' will be distributed among recipients ? The root questions are, does government has 'free money' ? & What suppose to be the 'inlet of free money' in government's cash storage ?

          You must have heard about social security ? Right ? As everyone as a member of society has a right for social security. It is generally provided to strike  at the root of poverty, unemployment & disease. The government is bound with three generalized responsibilities I.e. Protect, Provide & Invest. In role of government as a provider, social security system is build up to provide retirement, old-age, disability, unemployment, health & maternity benefits to workers unpaid, paid, inadequately paid workers from both organized & unorganized sectors. It is provided through schemes and regulated by laws. My concern here is not about to provide you details of social security as it is already available on Google. My main concern is how it is possible 'to manage free money' for all in inevitable crisis. What will be the sustainability of this 'free money' ? 

         Hey, besides your rigid opinions & prejudices, what do you think about 'management of free money' with your resilient thinking capability ? What does this 'free money' stand for you ? Will it create habit of getting money without work ? Will it create laziness ? There is discussion on collapse of social security as it creates burden on society. It has been observed that without tax hikes, spending cuts or a combination of the two, there won't be money left to schedule social security benefits? Skyrocketing unemployment will further deplete the fund's asset's. The worst mixture of situations like high living capacity of old age, young unemployment, poverty, mismanagement of demography, multiple crisis, recession, politics etc, the future of social security seems like burden on whole state. For the welfare state, state is bound to see each one's security. The chaos may create war and propensity of support of such helpless people to fanatic systems other than government which will bring terrorism, naxalism etc. This reminds what Thomas Hobbe's leviathan describes a word of unrelenting insecurity without a government to provide the safety of law and order, protecting citizens from each other and from foreign foes.

         The government must be aware about 'management of free money' & 'limited forms of free money' which is most of the time in use as a 'push factor' in economic flows. Don't you think, mostly 'free money' is very distracting word rather than disturbing word?

Migration crisis management

            The global economy crisis & global health crisis due to war or disaster creates problems of migrants which is responsible for the debate who will take their responsibility. In 2015, UN adopted a new framework for sustainable development based on the principle that no one should be left behind. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director, Christine lagarde said that No country can manage the refugee issue on their own. In 2005, the World Health Organization adopted the International Health Regulations. These guidelines talks about controlling spread of diseases, while minimizing the adverse effects of travel & trade restrictions.            The root question which arise in the fear of 'refugee as weapon', & 'caring migrants like waste of national resources' is, is there need of stopping complete migration? Can we ? Who will ? In such war or crisis or disaster period, everybody becomes possessive being family member & citizen

We may poor but not threatening security   

        The growing global gap between rich & poor is the main concern simultaneously with the focus on poverty alleviation . The 1994 Human Development Report (HDR) highlighted two major components of human security, first, freedom from fear & freedom from want. When both these freedom is threatened by system, cultural or traditional defects, natural or man made disasters, own survival failure, incompetence then poverty knocks your door. There are some types of poverty like situational,  generational, absolute, relative, urban & rural. Thus, there is multi dimensional poverty.           When you think poverty may breed insecurity you must be thinking how it is a complex nexus of transnational threats like large migration, environmental degradation, crime, proliferation for small arms, infectious diseases etc. But why don't you ever think that one day, even yours rich habits, rich lifestyles and business you build on keeping poor as poor will let others in darkness of

Use of geographical configurations

         Do we need integration of geographical knowledge to tackle stress ? The news that remaining geography paper of 10th ssc board exam get cancelled must be good news for students. Now, these students are free to take benefit of current corona lockdown. For most of the students, it was scoring subject. Geography is most important subject to study as a global citizen. We get to know how we all are dependent due to inequal distribution of natural resources, how our cultures, ideas & thoughts are shaped by region, how the relations  between  living things & non living are maintained, in short, evolution of physical environment  & society.             In this context, geographical studies have significant application in making health landscapes, disaster  management , security infrastructure, mental mapping, social environment etc. In current scenario of India, 'mapmyIndia maps' & 'move app' is helping  users to locate, view & reach testing labs
