The problem with Jamaica is the same as any other black Nation or neighborhood. That is, that children are born out of wedlock at an alarming rate.
There have been numerous studies done on the subject. Black children who grow up in a nuclear family have the same percentage of criminals as whites who grow up in a nuclear family.
Jamaica needed to do a better job of managing itself. These people don't care about Jamaica, they are rioting and destroying their nation. People think of weed when they think of Jamaica, but crack and heroin are everywhere. Tons of fatherless children crowd an almost non-existent education system.
Everyone's trying to blame somebody,but the Jamaican's are the only ones to blame.When The British left,Jamaica went hog wild with their money.
You need to save money.Running a Nation isn't easy
@brian8793 yeah i agree Jamaica needs to do a better job managing itself by isolating itself & economy from free trade agreements w/countries such as America & Britian (who exploit them). & about the weed, that's a stereotype in places like USA because famous musicians who made it to fame did that..you cannot judge a whole society from a single face...people think of Obama when they think of America, but he's not what USA represents. Anyways, find out why things are the way they are b4 talking..
@muhreuh1 Oh, that was low my man ; ) I love Jamacians. There is nobody that wants Jamacia to succeed than me. Blaming other people for your problems is a sad way to live.

2dane4u open your mind and stop living in a box in this day and age KNOW WHATS HAPPENING AROUND YOU I will not tell a lie I born and bred in Barbados and even watching this is an eye opener. It is sad to think about, but this is reality, those countries who stole and manipulated, to get what they wanted still do so today, neo colonialism is on the rise and its real to everyone everywhere. Wake tuh f up.
@vojinvidanovic79 I have Life n Debt dvd. Shoulda woulda coulda... Globalization by default doesn't bring prosperity to anyone but the profiteering heathens it always has. The world don't need Globalisation in any way shape or form! IMO :)
World is getting globalized, but at expense of resources, labour, human rights and destruction of local cultures, and Life and debt is excellent proot. Its is not that globalization is not needed (in terms of finding mutual interests and needs, making world trade fair etc.) it is that different alternative globalization then those run by corporations is only way to save the world, nations both rich and poor etc.
Its newage capitalism and slavery in discuise dat way
@vojinvidanovic79 A fair world trade system and globalisation should not be said in the same sentence. Globalisation to me means one source, one boss, managing the worlds affairs. Fair trade is every country doing its own thing, mutually beneficial for all.
New age capitalism? Its NEVER stopped so i see nothing new! Slavery has never ceased either. Do you think the choices you make are based in freedom? We don't know what it means in this damned western society.

SAME EXACT PERCENTAGE.
It's all about the family. FAMILY FIRST!

@marjaan2000 That's absurd. Sudan is an independant Nation. There is more to that deal that what you just described.

I do, but not when Government helps it out to much.
It's a businesses job to make as much profit as it can, so why do they need government help?

@teenqueen45 What are the upsides?
DivineTruthGoddess 1 year ago
@DivineTruthGoddess
Should be: Internet, mass market (merchandise avail worldwide), global fluctuation of labour, easier travelling etc.
But mostly cover up for corporate bussines.
