Society is Nothing but a Man-Made Concept

In a seminar last week, we discussed the plausibility of Huntington's hypothesis of the Clash of Civilization. As I listened to the entire class argue that there is no longer a clash of cultures/ not enough to cause conflict, it began to anger me how Western academia has made us become, in a sense, ignorant. Theorists have debated that human rights, liberal democracy and the capitalist free market economy have become the only ideological alternatives that can adequately alter foreign policy. However this is based on the fact that these are the only ideologies exposed to the west. For the purpose of this debate I define the term culture as a set of ideas, customs and social behavior of particular society As someone who grew up with both British and Asian influences I can understand why there are sometimes clashes in cultures. Not in terms of how we dress and the things we eat, but the mentality of values and traditions. These values and traditions subsequently affect our percept...

It has been said within the next 40 years, by 2050, the world’s population will exceed nine billion people with roughly fifth teen per cent of the world’s population, equating to around one billion people suffering from malnutrition and inadequate access to food. Subsequently this demand for agricultural products will be expected to rise up to at least 70%.   Agriculture has an extensive role in helping to stimulate growth and reduce poverty, addressing the key issue of food insecurity. Investment in agriculture is key to tackling food insecurity and instead of cultivating more land; there must be an onus on how to enhance the productivity per hectare. Agriculture, at a market-centric view, is a source of capital accumulation as it increases incomes and enhances the ability of markets for third world countries. Food security arises when populations do not have the adequate physical access to either markets or distribution networks. The opening of markets, due to agric...
