Issues of funding for services and infrastructure, immigration, women's issues, take centre stage in Sweden's 2014 parliamentary elections
09/14/2014
Sweden's centre right government loses the 2014 election with 39.3% of the vote, the Social Democrats allied to the Green Party win about 43.7% of the vote. A far right party calling for 90% cuts in immigrant integration funding doubles its vote. Immigrants mainly from war torn Syria, Iraq and Somalia. The increased voting for the far right comes mainly from the centre right government party. The women's party gets 3.1% of the vote. The Social Democrats argued that the centre right government had pursued policies that were leading to a deterioration in services, education and infrastructure through its austerity programs. Sweden's centre right government had supported the policies of Germany's Angela Merkel for tight control on spending.

The immigration debate in Norway
02/21/2011
The effects of immigration on Norwegian life and society. About 550,000 immigrants entered the country from 1995- 2010. Half of these immigrants are white and from Poland and Sweden. Norway has also given asylum to the poorest immigrants from places like Eritrea. And there are immigrants from Pakistan who came in the 1970's when Norway needed immigrant labor. About 11% of 4.9 million people are immigrants, but the concentration of immigrants in certain neighborhoods creates the fear of immigration among some Norwegians. Immigrants concentrate in the poorer neighborhoods of east Oslo. Because Nordic society has never experienced this before, this multiculturalism become a serious issue.

Denmark reverses open stance to immigration and refugees following the election of a new government in 2015
09/12/2015
At one point Denmark under a previous government Denmark welcomed refugees with the words COPENHAGEN, and civil society is still friendly to refugees. But the new coalition government after an anti-immigration party won 22% of the votes in elections held in 2015, does not support taking in refugees. Refugees in Denmark now see Sweden as a favored destination similar to Germany.

The wave of migrants from North Africa, Libya, Syria and the Middle East to Europe in 2014-2017
06/13/2015
A wave of migrants made their way on a dangerous boat journey to Europe in 2014-2016. The refugee crisis in the war zones of Libya, Iraq, Syria and Yemen, with added migrants from Africa for people seeking a better life, is leading to one of the largest movements of migrants since 1945. It also poses problems of uncontrolled immigration in Europe, where immigration is one of the top issues in elections and in public debate-in Sweden, Britain, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy. By 2017 the migration slowed after action by the European Union countries to control it from countries in Africa.

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.
