Hong Kong people seeing their culture and values threatened by the mainland- the yearly Tiananmen vigil and the Umbrella protests as the symbols of Hong Kong identity
10/07/2014
Hong Kong people have a separate cultural identity as Hong Kong, for the reason that like Bombay it was created by Britain in the 19th century. One can see the different way Bombay people look at themselves and their city, including the way they work together to handle crises such as floods and terrorism in the last decade. It is part of India but feels and acts as a separate cultural entity in India. Such is the situation one would expect in Hong Kong. Imagine Singapore another example of a city created by the British in the 19th century as part of mainland China, it would in that situation still feel and act to preserve its own identity, culture and values. Just as Bombay or Singapore could not be accused of being bound to a colonial culture, Hong Kong could not be accused of this.These are global cities with global citizens and in a gobal economy vital assets to the home country in the form of distinct cultural identity.

Catalan leader Arturo Mas and Catalonia's plans to seek a referendum along the lines of Scotland
10/08/2014
Arturo Mas scheduled a referendum vote on independence for Catalonia on Nov. 9, 2014. He awaits a ruling from Spain's Constitutional Court which could come in 2015. Mas says the Constitutional Court is biased in favor of Spain. His Plan B is to hold a new parliamentary election as a plebiscite on independence. The head of the Catalan Assembly says Catalans will act in a peaceful and democratic way as Catalans are a mature people having gone through much suffering in the 20th century.

The New York Times 11/07/16
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
