1. Inherent structural defect can happen in politics. The basic unit of a political relationship is the electors and the elected. It goes without saying that the job of the elected is to advance the interests of the electors. Everything would be fine as long as the electors are having common interests.
2. When the interests of the electors are in conflict, there is still a way out. The wise elected could choose to follow the wishes of the majority. This way he can still save his job.
3. But following the wishes of the majority of the electors is not the same as doing the right thing. The majority could be wrong, and if you follow the wrong, you would also be wrong. When the majority is wrong, you are placed in a dilemma. To follow them and keep your job or not to follow them and lose your job.
4. How many would choose not to follow and be ready to lose the job?

REJECTED
1. The product that we are selling is nothing unique. It appears that the product that is being sold by our competitor is more appealing. However due to the presence of fear among trhe buyers, our product has been chosen by the buyers. We may not realise the real reason why we are being able to sell our product well.
2. Time moves on. Things keep changing. Nothing is permanent, except this one.
3. Suddenly, the buyers changed to our rival's product. The buyers rejected our product almost totally. We are lost. We can't understand why.
4. Probably, fear no longer exists. The buyers have changed.

THE WORLDS WITHIN THE WORLD
1. We have been taught from young that this is the only world that we have. This is your world. My world. Our world. But now we are being told something different.
2. Our Psychologists would now tell us that in actual fact we are all living in different worlds. No two persons could live in the same world. We need an explanation! They would tell us that our mind and our memory constitutes an environment in which we exist. No two persons can have identical sensation. No two persons can have identical mental environment. If this is the case then it makes sense to say that we are all living in different worlds. This is the mental environment. If we can have mental environment, we can similarly have other kinds of environment.
3. May be we could use human activities as a differentia to the genus environment. In such a case we could have business world, world of politics, world of ordinary people...............Different worlds imply different rules and criteria. Just like, when we are on the land, we walk; when we are in the water, we swim. Going by this analogy, when you are in the business world you have to.....and when you are in the world of politics you have to............in order to continue to exist in that particular world.

WHAT IS TIME?
1. What is time? We are familiar with all these. My alarm clock would tell me the time to wake up in the morning. The watch on my wrist would tell me that I have just missed my train because I have got the wrong time. But the clocks and the watches can't be time. If they are, and when they cease to exist, time would also cease to exist. But this is absurd.
2. St Augustine says: What, then, is time? If no one asks me, I know; if I wish to explain to him who asks, I know not.
3. Some people would say that time is the movement of the planet earth. But there is also problem here. Planet earth is a body. And body has been shown to be nothing. Can nothing move?

WHAT IS BODY?
1. What is body? To the ordinary people this is a very simple question. Only an idiot would not know the answer! The abvious example of body is ...your body and my body...That simple.
2. But some philosophers seem not to know what is body. They would first want to know whether this thing 'body' is divisible or not. We would have to say it is divisible because that is the nature of body.
3. If it is divisible, then body is nothing. Because when you divide a body, you would get bodies, you further divide the bodies into bodies.....Finally you either get nothing or body. If body, still can be divided....
4. If body can become nothing, nothing can also become body. Can we believe this?

THE NEW MEDIA
1. The new media are becoming more popular because of the freedom that they are enjoying. It is generally believed that the traditional media do not enjoy the same amount of freedom as the new media.
2. The new media seem to play a very important role in the world of politics. Because of their relatively 'free' status, they are extremely popular with the 'opposition'.
3. The purpose is the same, whether it is traditional or new, to reach the mind of the object.
4. It is also believed by many that the new media is the battle ground that must be won in the world of politics.

MAN AND HIS ENVIRONMENT
1.Men do not live in a vacuum. Men are being surrounded by all kinds of things. Air, water and earth are the common neighbours of men. Men need these things for their preservation and pro-creation.
2.These natural elements can sometime become men's natural enemies when they emerge as destructive natural forces like great floods and strong wind. Men would have no means of eliminating all together these natural disasters which are threatening the very existent of men. All they could do is to minimise the damage that they have to suffer.
3.Men are known to be living in societies. And society is another kind of surrounding to men. Men can only have such amount of freedom so as not to threaten the existence of the society in which they live.
4.Political and legal environment would affect the way of living of the people within the society. You could argue that they are only products of human convention and thus could be changed by the maker. This could be true in theory. But it is impossible in fact.
