Draw a line between Beijing of China and Conakry of Guinea..
with variable width of 500-1000 miles..
Generally; this is the Underdeveloped axis..
Thanks to Kathleen & Adam, who had inspired that concept
The civilized difference between the sentimental Orient and underdeveloped, and the pragmatic West and developed; is the Code of Conduction..
This "CoC" has nothing to do with certificates, but with the practice of life in general.. It is a generation of a deep tribal culture, an unfriendly geography, a granted rich resources.. Adding to this; the scripts of holy books and rituals that extremely prioritize the blood ties..
This is the true barrier between our worlds.. This is the clash that Samuel Huntington had meant to address.. yet failed and irritated many intellectual against him..!
Even so, the way both worlds handle money, profits, greed, corruption, etc., is very different..
I was conducing intelligence on a project in Ethiopia; I told my colleague:
"Corruption is different in Africa.. it is not an immoral practice, but a very moral thing to award what you are authorized to, to your kinship and township.. Otherwise you will be named as an immoral..!!"
Therefore, all efforts to fight corruption in Africa are misguided and keep going to the drain.. An innovative correction concept is badly required..!!
