July Revolution and Gen-Z’s March to mass political awareness: A generation’s evolution from apolitical to political entities.

 July Revolution and Gen-Z’s March to mass political awareness: A generation’s evolution from apolitical to political entities.  Farheen Akter Bhuian Gen-z don’t read political histories, they can’t remember our national heroes' names properly, and they even meddle between National Independence Day and Victory Day; how on earth can they gain critical analytical power to understand the hodgepodge situation of a repressive state ruled by autocracy in a dire regime of fascism?  This was a concern of many millennials, especially academics, who thought this generation would achieve nothing. They don’t raise their voice; they are so submissive, they lack attention to crucial matters, and they are always busy playing video games and stuck in daydreams. But the July revolution’ has shown us what Gen-z are made of! Who knew the video game-playing indulgent generation would play with dominant state forces against autocracy and fight for democracy, leaving their virtual field of bat...

Alienation from the Roots, DNA race and Divine Masculinity-femininity: Super-ego and evolution of Moral Justice

Image
Yes, your DNA is selfish- Selfish in preserving its traits-the trends traced back to your origin,  It chooses carefully,  The source and you are looted not only via bio-weapons but by your very own mind-set which is altered by the blending of projected socio-cultural trends- now globalized, Alienation from self and your roots, You are sabotaging your own originality, Deviating from your path, But, your ancestors are calling you- Your collective memory recalls- Who you were and who you oathed to be- We are alienated from the the culture that once aspired us- Gave us our identity-our roots,  That's why we are facing the downfall, No ethical leadership, no divine masculine remained to lead us- To guide us- To show us path- To free us! No divine femininity from where the graceful civilization is born, Or,no divine womb from where the ancient civilization will be revived! And, Hyder asks me how do we survive the peril, the perish and who will be our pariah in the dystopian ord...
