Male superiority

An article which i have recently read pointed out that male superiority is no longer welcomed in today's society.The author believes that women are definitely the future driving force of the economy instead of men.He stated that women nowadays are becoming increasingly intelligent and capable in the workforce.Furthermore,women have been proved to have higher Emotional Quotient(EQ) and,ergo,are able to handle different situations better than their male counterparts,as far as emotions are concerned.Throughout the centuries,women's cry for equality has been heard clearly by all and has undeniably succeeded in forcing the male chauvinism to retreat,and by no means defeat it.However,now that mal superiority has already retreated,women seem to be less powerhungry and have shown no interest in taking over the men.Instead,a great deal of married women are happy to remain as supporting roles and,hence,refused to join the workforce after they got married or have given birth.Without the cut-throat mentality and killer instincts in business,i,as a male,seriously doubt the female's ability to take over the men and rule the world.Therefore,i totally disagree with the author that men should let the women take over the world because of a simple fact: they cannot do it well to save their lives.However,i cannot dispute the fact that there are indeed some women who are impressively capable.Yet,that is the minority in case you have not really noticed.

Is the use of torture ever justified in dealing with criminals and terrorists?

Although it may seem a tad insensitive to say this,but there are indeed circumstances when the use of torture on dealing with terrorists and criminals has been justified.Sometimes,the use of torture on the criminals and terrorists is necessary to force them to disclose essential knowledge and informations to aid the police in criminal investigations.However,there is still a considerable number of people who are amazingly insistent and firm in their stand that torture,no matter what,can never be justified.

It is easy to justify anything that a person strongly believes in.That is why some people are convinced that it is justifiable to torture terrorists.They generally feel,and rightly too,that violence against innocents for whatever reason,unlike the use of torture on criminals,can never be justified.Ergo,in their own eyes,terrorists deserve to be tortured and should not be given any mercy.Furthermore,the police are trying to introduce legalised torture as an acceptable investigation tool and technique.They argued that the police should have every right to torture any serious crime offender whenever and wherever they were certain they had informations about other crimes.For example,in cases of kidnap,the police should have the right to torture the criminal should he/she refused to reveal informations about the victim's whereabout.This is crucial so that the police could rescue the victim.

On the other hand,this has been disputed by certain people who think that torture,in every sense,is morally and ethically prohibited.They do not trust the use of torture to be effective in any real-life situations.In fact,they believe that if the police cant gt any information from the criminals,it will be fruitless for them even if they force the criminals through se of torture.They think that the use of torture is a lousy solution and that this solution could turn out to be a big problem-moral problem.

Can the media ever be relied upon to convey the truth?

Personally,i do not believe that the media can be trusted as an absolutely reliable teller of truths.Isnt it more than apparent to us that no one media in this whole wide world has actually been given complete freedom? Without complete freedom to publish and cover anything that the media wishes to,it is almost impossible for us to base our trust in the media to convey the truths and ONLY the truths.Let's take a look at America's self-proclaimed free press.Is it really not curbed in any single way? i seriously doubt so.Then,why exactly are they practising censorship?Furthermore,the article has brought out a point that media could be bribed and,thereafter,used as propaganda to manipulate the public into believing what the government would very much like us to preceive as the truths.China's media has also been restricted to publish anything that is trying to bring down communism.Ergo,we should not depend on the media entirely to convey the truths of today.

Next,i think we should not overlook the fact that the media is,afterall,business-orientated.Hence,it is understandable that they would love to make attractive profits.The media is reasonably eager to gain patrons and popularity.As a result,some would fabricate news while others would simply twist the truths into something more sensational and superficial just to attract more readers,patrons,viewers etc.This,sometimes,is the reason that has caused the media to be less reliable.

All in all,i do not believe that the media is still capable of bringing light to the world.yes,it would definitely be ideal if the media is perfectly honest in their coverage instead of slanting and twisting the truths and publishing selectively.Yet,the reality of today is that there is no one completely free media that tells only the truths and nothing else at all.So,let's not be gullibly naive and think otherwise.
