Is the US Constitution Outdated?

The Constitution was created in 1787 and came into effect in 1789. It is the supreme law of the United States. Although it has been amended twenty-seven times, it seems that the Constitution is outdated, especially where technology is concerned. It is no secret that there is no such thing as privacy anymore. Someone is always listening; someone is always watching. Whether it is for our own good or not is an entirely different issue. The question is, does the Constitution give us protection against issues that didn’t exist centuries ago? All day, all night, we have to endure intrusions into our lives from electronic sources. Almost any unfiltered search on the internet will result in at least a few pornographic images or suggestive pictures or drawings. We are constantly forced to deal with buzzing, ringing, or vibrating cell phones and messages from robo-callers, selling or promoting their wares or ideas. Should national lawmakers concern themselves with these blatant wastes of our time and resources? Should the US Constitution be updated and amended to allow the government to deal with the electronically driven world we live in? Should a document written to govern a nation as it existed over 230 years ago be amended to meet the demands of the present time? America in the eighteenth century had a completely different set of concerns that, apart from what we read from books, we know nothing about today. How could they know about the issues we are facing presently? The tenets of the US Constitution and all the constitutions worldwide are based on the very basic requirements of a government toward a nation, to protect all life forms and to uphold the rights of men. In this sense, the US Constitution is as relevant today as it was in 1787. But when we consider the challenges of the changing times, perhaps a re-evaluation of the Constitution is not an entirely bad idea. Read the full article

Rules for Social Living: Who’s Responsible?

Social rules are made because people need a sense of order and guidelines to live by to ensure that there will be equality, fairness, and peace among all the members of society. Cooperation and communication are easier when people know their responsibilities and limitations while living within a community. Centuries ago, the world was made up of small towns and villages and great kingdoms spread across the world. The one thing these small and great communities had in common was that they were ruled by figures of authority or, in many cases, powerful and wealthy families. Those who held the power dictated the rules of their society at that time. A king’s word was the rule and the truth. Fast-forward several centuries: most of the monarchies are gone, but powerful and wealthy individuals and organizations still exercise great influence over society. Those who control rule-making are presidents, giant corporations, influential and charismatic personalities, and of course, those in high positions in different religions. These powerful people use newspapers, TV, radio, and social media to influence society. By these means, information travels farther and faster to all the corners of the world. New and enhanced technologies open up greater avenues and opportunities for the messages of the powerful to be heard and seen by more people. Having greater influence and wider reach makes it easier to sway the opinions and emotions of people so that they will adhere to the rules established by the powerful. This is evident in popular culture, now sometimes overshadowing standard social rules. Persons or entities who control media dictate the rules people live by. This powerful group of people, who often belong to the upper levels of society, portray themselves as preservers of established rules, yet they introduce rules to ensure themselves benefits and continued status. This apparent familiarity with the old standards establishes a sense of security among their audience, and the rules they introduce satisfy the needs of the general population for occasional changes and evolution. Religion may also dictate societal rules. It creates guidelines regarding who should be considered good and faithful and who is heathen or sinful. Religious rules may divide society and create distinctions between people—and sometimes stir up violence between religions and other sects. Some religious groups even fabricate standards to prove their superiority. The final takeaway? Society is ruled by those with power—whether kings, presidents, popes, or famous celebrities. It’s up to reasoning people to decide for themselves whether to follow the broadcast rules for living or follow their own path, based on common sense and an appreciation for their fellow human beings.

It's really a honor for us to capture our symbolic Cross Street, which still preserves its own charm with its iconic images from the former century while inhaling vivid breath of youth. Here, Cross Street’s engaging and alluring residents surf, dance, and hang out as the days go by.

In the absence of major public engineering works to mitigate the risks of vertical slum living on perilous slopes, the challenge is to fund and sustain pro-poor adaptations and upgrades in building quality, infrastructure, flood protection, and urban design – as well as other key improvements such as potable water supplies, transportation, education, health services, public security, waste disposal and proper sewerage. The challenge, though, as we shall see, is to organise such so-called ‘upgrade’ programmes in ways that avoid the very real risks that shanty settlements will simply become exclusionary sites of gentrification. Such processes tend to force out the very people who first made the tenuous claim on the right to the city, as real estate speculators move in to commodify the spectacular views and newly improved accessibility and infrastructure.
