How to deal with Japanese?

How to "deal" with Japanese?

• They are extremely *(com)passionate* people.
• Unless they completely understand the *nuances* of the deal they prefer not to commit.
• They will never *criticize* anyone "on face" and don't like people who does that.

Agriculture

The most trade-distorting policies are in the agriculture sector.
Many developing countries still depend on the agriculture sector.

Three-quarters of the world's poor-900 million people-live in rural areas
and depend on agriculture or related activities.

Rich countries-the EU is among the worst offenders-grant large support
to their domestic agricultural producers, totalling $300 billion annually.

These subsidies lead to worldwide overproduction that effectively
depresses world prices, floods poor country markets and undermines
incentives and earning opportunities for farmers in developing communities.

In the meantime, agriculture policies in OECD countries cost consumers
and taxpayers $300 billion every year-six times annual OECD spending on ODA.

Reform of agriculture policies reducing overall levels of support,
would free up hundreds of billions of dollars and,
in effect, reduce the domestic burden on consumers and taxpayers;
at the same time, this would help to eliminate harmful import barriers and export subsidies.

As two-thirds of the world's poor live in rural areas and depend on agriculture,
putting an end to the distortion of international and local agriculture markets
is a crucial ingredient to achieve the first Millennium Development Goal.

Banking

Banks should "proactively" create "bank accounts" for all its citizens.

This would help in

1. Quickly identifying the people who really need the "assistance".
2. Quickly "disbursing" money to those people.
3. Preventing black market.
4. Efficienty measuring the "return on investment" in people.
5. Reusing the bank accounts by other donor organizations.

Truth
Most problems these problems we see or hear or face today are created by people.
Otherwise we are inherited with a wonderful blue planet.

Solution
A simple, sensitive and scalable solution for all these problems is
to do the following

"Proactively" buy a product or service from the poor people.
What is the emotional connection?

Human being is nothing but a finite set of atoms

Oh God, Wish I had know this earlier.

No sarcasm or hypocrisy please

I request the authors and editors of all electronic and print medium companies including the blogs to publicly endorse the following proposal.

Everyday we see news people deprecating each other in personal, professional, political and religious dimensions.

There is a scientific evidence that this is doing an irreparable harm to the welfare of our children and our future generations.

"To live in society, people have to have an inner mechanism that regulates their behaviour. Rejection defeats the purpose of this, and people become impulsive and self-destructive. You have to use self-control to analyse a problem in an IQ test, for example - and instead, you behave impulsively."

"There's no such thing as Intrinsic Motivation."

Source - Ohio State University http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/inmotiv.htm

We can prevent this from happening by publicly putting off broadcasting such news and analysis.

I propose a 50 year moratorium on individuals and institutions publicly denouncing or demoralizing somebody in electronic and print medium.

Time to review and rewrite

Our constitution and religious books (gita, quran, bible etc) were
written prior to the invention of ICT
(information and communication technologies).

This is the right time to review and rewrite them.
A great opportunity for us to lead the rest of the world.

Alternatively Governments world wide can recognize ICT as a progressive religion.
This would encourage people to

1. Create a win-win situation
2. "Balance" the social, economic, and cultural injustices in our hierarchical society
3. Defines a "roadmap" for our future generations


I will appreciate your comments.
No hypocrisy or sarcasm please!
