Dignity of Labour…

Zai

Man has been doing Labour ever since he began his life. He tills the ground works at the mill, strikes on the anvil and does all type of labour to keep his body and soul together. He might have found manual labour hard and tedious but there was no disrespect attached to it formerly.

Our material progress in this world owes a lot to manual labour. Manual labour led to various scientific inventions. But could we conceive of high buildings, shopping plazas, railways, hospitals, bridges, aeroplanes and all such things without manual labour? Suppose the farmers do not plough and tilll the soil. Can we get the crop if the farmers do not do hard labour? Impossible. There will be no houses to shelter and no clothes to wear our bodies, if the masons. carpenters and weaves do not labour. Manual labour produces material prosperity…

« La terre pour les indigènes n’a aucune valeur commerciale, comme dans le sens privé de la possession civile. C’est une relation d’identité, qui inclut la spiritualité et l’existence, et il est possible d’affirmer qu’il n’y a pas de communauté indigène sans terre »

Des milliers de peuples indigènes marchent à Brasilia pour défendre leurs droits

Le ministre de la Cour suprême du Brésil, Edson Fachin, a voté pour rejeter le «cadre temporel» et en faveur des droits des peuples autochtones.

Fachin a déclaré : «Il n’y a pas de plus grande sécurité juridique que le respect de la Constitution», réfutant l’argument ruraliste selon lequel les démarcations sans «cadre temporel» génèrent une insécurité juridique.

Dans son vote, Fachin défend que les droits constitutionnels indigènes ne peuvent être remis en cause, «puisque ces droits sont liés à la condition même d’existence de ces communautés et à leur mode de vie. »

Il rejette les interprétations qui tentent d’assimiler la propriété indigène et la propriété civile, comme le fait le «cadre temporel». «Les terres indigènes», dit-il, «sont plus larges qu’un «ensemble de huttes»; ils comprennent tout le territoire nécessaire à l’existence des peuples. »

The Climate Crisis and Its Cost Should be Properly Evaluated

FunWritings

Climate driven economic disasters will become more frequent as time goes by if more is not done to reduce carbon emissions

We need to encourage more people to forget about talking and change their actions

We all need to use more electric cars and do our part to sustain life on the planet

It is time for us to say, we have got to live in a different way so we won’t have regret

It makes no sense for the rich to say the poor will suffer while they continue the destruction

Are we not all humans who should be living with the same set of instructions

We all live on the same planet, we call it Mother Earth

It is time for us to analyze what we have and protect the thing that has the greatest worth

When Republicans control state legislatures, infant mortality is higher

The party that controls state legislatures is powerfully associated with fluctuations in infant mortality rates and racial disparities in infant health, scientists report in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine

Ann Arbor, September 14, 2021

Net of history, infant and postneonatal mortality rates are substantively higher under Republican-controlled state legislatures than under non-Republican–controlled ones, according to a new study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, published by Elsevier. Findings suggest that effects may be greater for Black infants than for White infants.

“These findings support the politics hypothesis that the social determinants of health are, at least in part, constructed by the power vested in governments,” said lead investigator Javier M. Rodriguez, PhD, Department of Politics & Government, Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA, USA.
