@allen77allen It's the best way to find out why something is wrong, test it on yourself :)

OHhhhhhhhhh,,,, "News flash! The world is now a global economy, where each affects others".

OH REALLY,,, For the English who LOOTED INDIA FOR MORE THAN 300yrs,,, the world has ALWAYS been a global economy, where each affect", SERVING ENGLISH EMPIRE & ENGLISH ECONOMY, at the EXPENSE OF INDIA & THE REST OF THE WORLD.

So remains the case, NOW.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.

Too bad, the truth hurts.

@BahreNeGash News flash! The world is now a global economy, where each affects others. Only OPEC nations, mostly their rulers, are unaffected as they control the energy source for all. So what are you going to do - complain along the tired old lines of "corporations are bad"? A lot of Indians own a lot of wealth in the USA and Africa. The lines of investment & ownership are many and criss-cross the oceans. You are not sane, I think you know that. Give up the resentment, it will make you crazy.

@rh001YT

You said,, "India does not allow foreign nations to have more than 49% share."?

In tha case, INDIA educates it's people to be creative citizens but INDIA only gets 51% share of the very people it educates, while the 49% share is SOLD to GLOBAL CORPORATIONS.

In case you miss the point, American Companies MOVING to China for cheap labor, vast market & vast profit, CERTAINLLY determine American economy, employmenytt, education & creativity.

Now, do you see the full-picure?

[rh001YT]

@BahreNeGash I don't think India paid for my education - I live in the USA which has few economic ties with India. Come on now, paranoia unchecked can lead to schizophrenia. Most of India is still owned by Indians. There is no overarching Conglomerate. All nations & businesses are in competitio with each other. Not even OPEC has total control. What does your paranoia have to do with schools killing creativity. Where in th world is there a lack of creativity, except for less in poor nations.

[BahreNeGash]

If India paid for your EDUCATION & AMERICAN CONGLOMERATE BOUGHT your creativity, what's left for India?

You ALREADY made my point, "India does not allow foreign nations to have more than 49% share", which means INDIA does NOT have 100% control of it's own resources, manpower & products made in it's own soil.

Therefore, the Global conglomerates who own 49% of India, MULTIPLIED BY ALL THE SHARES all over the world, the GLOBAL CONGLOMERATES have more power to decide your FATE, than India can.

[rh001YT]

@BahreNeGash The world is not controlled by a few corporate conglomerates. There are thousands of large companies all of whom are in competition. There is little if any nexus between companies in the different major regions. For instance, Hindustan Lever is related to Lever, but does not have controlling share. India does not allow foreign nations to have more than 49% share. China is one large corporation. But what does this have to do with Education killing creativity?

[BahreNeGash]

People use to be fooled to pay their lives, blood & bones, with the idea "STRATEGIC NATIONAL INTEREST".

When it all said & done, THE VERY FEW CORPORATE MAFIAS end up "ENRICHING" themselves at the expense of the lives lost.

Of-coarse the World is CONTROLLED by few corporations, who FINANCE governments, who are willing to make wars, suppress people & invade nations for the corporate interest of the FEW conglomerates.

China is just sharing the bounty of former FALLEN & FALLING CORPORATE empires.

@dyablohunter The world is not controlled by a handful of corporations - lay off the NPR and BBC, not good for you. Also lay off the weed. Many powerful & not so powerful entities in the world compete regionally & globally. they do need to compete because if they don't they will lose out. I would suggest you look thoroughly into the matter of for instance, why China is in Africa & Pakistan & Sri Lanka. But you won't, cuz your paranoia and loser-ism is too important to you - let it go.
