The problem of provider and recipient- US media coverage of Africa, the Arab world and developing countries
02/05/2011
The tendency of the common man in America to see developing countries as distant from their daily lives and lifestyles, except in the way it impacts the price of oil or commodities produced in these countries. Yet the huge resources spent in a time of state and federal deficits in developing countries- a trillion in Iraq, a trillion in Afghanistan- give a sense of a serious disconnect in this situation. The tendency to leave these countries to the experts and the foreign policy establishment who become complacent; and who cannot be relied on to correct misinformation and give a sense of what is really going on in a timely manner. As a result coverage comes in outbursts and policy changes come in bursts, and the public demands those changes with simplistic ideas of who is for us and against us. The cost is a runup of trillions of dollars in expenditures, compromising future economic security and overall defense needs.

02/04/2011
An opportunity to set the Arab world and the Middle East in a new direction. The European Renaissance began with one of the important influences being ideas and books brought back from open and tolerant Islamic societies, the opportunity for leaders in the Middle East to borrow in the same way from open and tolerant Christian societies in Europe and America and forge their own path to a modern world and make their own contributions.

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.
