Sunday Afternoon Snark

Filosofa's Word

Somebody said to me once that she thought I should try ignoring the news for a week or more, just think about positive things, and see if my mood wouldn’t improve.  Well, I didn’t bother to try her suggestion, for I’m a news junkie.  I think it’s our responsibility to stay on top of what’s happening, not only in our own country, but in the world.  Y’see … it’s not all about me … happiness and joy aren’t the end goal here, but rather, at least in my book, leaving a positive mark in the world we occupy, making a difference somehow.  And that’s why things like these two snippets make me growl, put a scowl on my face, and why I must share my growls and scowls with you, my friends.  Happy Sunday!

Refugees coming to your country is a Good thing or a Bad thing?

A good thing that people welcome them in their time of need – a bad thing that they have to flee their homes. Those who offer refuge need to work both sides of the problem.

Beyond The Lines

Every minute 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. 

Today on 20th June, World Refugee Day is celebrated to honour refugees every year by the UN.

Who is a Refugee?

Source – thenewyorker

Refugees are people who have fled war, violence, conflict or persecution and have crossed an international border to find safety in another country.

Do Refugees Have Any Rights?

Corregidor

Pacific Paratrooper

“On The Rock” by James Dietz

On 16 February 1945, 51 C-47s of the 317th TCG, nicknames “The Jungle Skippers”, dropped 2000 men of the 503rd PIR/11th Airborne Division on the fortress island of Corregidor.  Due to the modest size of the drop zones, only one battalion could be dropped at at a time, with a 5-hours turn around between drops. Each C-47 had to make repeated passes over the DZs and only a handful of paratroopers could jump each time.

The commanding officers, Lt.Col. John Lackey and Co. George Jones circled the island directing the choreography of the mission.  At 08:33 hours, barely 3 minutes late, against 16-18 knot winds, the troopers began to descend on the remnants of MGen. Tsukada’s Kembu Group.

Hunter’s ROTC

Pacific Paratrooper

Hunters-ROTC Guerrillas, “The Unsurrendered”

The Hunters ROTC was a Filipino guerrilla unit active during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, and was the main anti-Japanese guerrilla group active in the area near the Philippine capital of Manila It was created upon the dissolution of the Philippine Military Academy.

Cadet Terry Adevoso and others, refused to simply go home as cadets were ordered to do, and began recruiting fighters willing to undertake guerrilla action against the Japanese.

When war broke out in the Philippines, some 300 Philippine Military Academy(the Philippine West Point) and ROTC cadets, unable to join the USAFFE units because of their youth, banded together in a common desire to contribute to the war effort throughout the Bataan campaign. They worked to protect civilians and to assist the USAFFE forces by way of intelligence and propaganda.

Sob constante vigilância dos maridos, mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica têm denunciado menos os seus agressores

Under constant surveillance by their husbands, women victims of domestic violence have reported their aggressors less

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A violência contra a mulher é um problema antigo, e que faz parte de um sistema sociohistórico que sempre teve suas raízes profundas na intolerância, no ódio e discriminação. A violência de gênero é um assunto que tem discussão recente, e a sua interpretação faz-se necessário para encontrar caminhos que tentem minimizar esse problema social grave.

Quando se fala em violência contra as mulheres, sabemos que a misoginia , o machismo, assim como o ódio encontra-se submerso no modelo patriarcal. Portanto, não há novidade para um assunto velho. Hoje, a novidade é tentar buscar respostas para questões pretéritas, as quais sempre nos colocou hierarquicamente, numa posição inferior.

Quantas vezes, já não colocamos esse assunto em discussão? Inúmeras. É preciso trazer essa mulher de dentro de um quatro escuro, ou seja, do ‘ostracismo’, e dizer a ela o quanto é capaz. É necessário fazê-la acreditar na sua força e capacidade.
