Professor Jahula and Student Anderson

Anderson a student of political philosophy at the University of Yakahuhu (a  pseudonym) had attended many philosophy classes but could not grasp the conepts. They were below the threshold of his comprehension. For this reason, he decided to visit Professor Jahula in his lone office to ask some few questions. Kindly read the dialogue below for details.

Student Anderson: Good afternoon Prof. I believe you are fine fettle. How is your battle for  academic supremacy? Rosy, I posit. Please I have attended many of your classes on political philosophy but find it hard to grasp some concepts. Could you help?

Professor Jahula: Good afternoon, Mr. Anderson. I've noticed you seem to be struggling with the concepts we've covered in our Political Philosophy class. Can you tell me what's been particularly challenging for you?

Student Anderson: Yes Prof. I appreciate your concern. The truth is, I'm finding it quite difficult to grasp the essence of your teaching. It seems like we're diving headfirst into complex theories without much context.

Professor Jahula: I see your point. Political philosophy can be quite dense, and I understand how the theories might appear abstract without a solid foundation. Let's start by addressing your concerns. Is there a specific theory or concept that's been causing confusion?

Student Anderson: Well, for instance, when we delved into the intricacies of existentialism and its implications for political thought, I couldn't help but feel lost. It seems like a departure from traditional political philosophy.

Professor Jahula: Existentialism can indeed be a challenging concept, but it's essential to understand how it relates to political thought. It's a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual freedom, choice, and responsibility. In the realm of political philosophy, it has been used to question established power structures and the role of the individual in society.

Student Anderson: I get the general idea, but how does that translate into practical politics? It's hard to imagine Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialism playing out in the real world of politics.

Professor Jahula: That's a valid concern. Existentialism doesn't provide a blueprint for a political system, but it does challenge us to think critically about issues like personal liberty, authenticity, and the ethical implications of our choices. In politics, it can influence discussions on personal freedoms, individual rights, and the moral dimensions of policy decisions.

Student Anderson: I suppose it's a matter of shifting from concrete political structures to abstract philosophical principles. Do you have any recommendations for resources or approaches that might help me bridge this gap?

Professor Jahula: Certainly, Mr. Anderson. I'd suggest reading some primary texts of existentialist philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre or Albert Camus to gain a deeper understanding of their ideas. Additionally, exploring how existentialism has influenced political thought through secondary sources and scholarly articles can provide more context. Lastly, engage in class discussions and don't hesitate to bring up your questions; philosophy thrives on thoughtful discourse.

Student Anderson: Thank you, Professor Jahula. I'll give those primary texts a shot and continue engaging in class discussions. Your guidance has been quite illuminating.

Professor Jahula: You're very welcome, Mr. Anderson. Remember, philosophy is a journey, and it often requires time and reflection. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help you navigate these challenging but rewarding concepts in political philosophy.

Is Liberalism under attack?

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems). The market is now

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online commu
