Organ donation is a charitable thing, but should be done within the precincts and demands of acceptable laws and medico-social ethics. It should not be a trade with blindfolds and middlemen handling cash transactions.
This area can mostly be controlled through serious monitoring by the government and its intelligence system, especially in hospitals owned by foreigners or where most patients are foreigners. Trends of this illegal trade show that priority is given to foreign patients because they pay more.
When the system has poor incentives to guide young people to be productive and engaged in the society, even after they have been integrally formed well in their homes they can lose it all as they switch into the survival mode of the streets.
Countries with lowest crime rates have the best job security as well. In Tanzania, many individuals currently in correctional facilities (prisons) might not be there if meaningful employment opportunities had been available. It is a big problem to accept our kind of frustrating joblessness as a social dynamic, even among those who are educated.
With the widespread use of computer mediated communication devices and these emojis, it is worth exploring how much, or rather in what ways, our emotional communication is influenced by emojis. Most emotion related emojis and emoticons (emotional icons) communicate these emotions only in a general sense and cannot really touch the unexplored territories of dynamic human emotions and feelings.
Poetry is beyond rhymes and play of words, it is an art that enables poets to express carefully deeper thoughts and meaningful mental constructions which simple conversational words cannot present sufficiently. It is an art because we enjoy its richness especially as it informs both the society about itself and the outside world, and the world about itself and in relation to that particular society, respectively, in an inward and outward dynamic.
With language as the vehicle and safeguard for the treasures in poetry, it follows that when a language is polluted, there will be repercussions in the poetry of that language, and in the understanding of the corpus of poetry that has lived generations before such pollutions. Dynamics of languages are diverse and are often irreversible if appropriate action is not taken.
My African heritage plays a crucial role in my storytelling. My Swahili culture and language largely constitutes my identity as a storyteller. ven though my children are half Czech, and half Tanzanian, they are blended in both cultures in a beautiful way. I believed by them having Swahili language and cultural awareness they will appreciate more the half of who they are, and be happy and free, when they visit Tanzania.
A family environment that has friendly conversation, care, company and love will go a long way to make a child comfortable to peacefully express his or her ideas and worries.
