Making the Invisible Visible.

Over the past week, we've been focused on the topic of Police Corruption in Malaysia, basically talking about how the police sometimes take bribes or other things, using their power as the police for their own personal gain. This is having a huge impact on our modern society, where the police are supposed to abide the law, and enforce it in other people, and not abuse their power as another way to cheat the law. Many people are so accustomed to bribing the police, and the police are so used to asking for bribes, that the police rarely do any of their actual duties, such as apprehending people for speeding or running a red light. Nothing really surprised me as of now, seeing as I've seen most of these cases firsthand, but what does surprise me is how this is happening on such a large scale. Learning about this topic made me realize how important the police are to our society, and cannot be corrupt, otherwise having nobody to enforce the law. Many things rely on the police, such as crime control, crowd management, and social services, all of which have to be strictly followed by law. If corrupt, the rights and the wrongs are no longer defined by the laws, but are decided by who's rich, and who can give the police the most money. This is happening so often, that malaysia is constantly referred to as one of the worlds' most corrupt countries.

To deal with a Dictator.

Throughout the course of history, the world has produced numerous amounts of dictators. Men with complete control over a nation or empire, like Julius Caesar, Kim Jong Un, and Vladimir Putin. Of course, with every form of government, there is an opposition. In the cases of dictators, the people themselves are often fighting for freedom and rights. In the case of Caesar, Brutus and the conspirators had decided to assassinate Caesar, permanently taking him out of power. However, this technique of elimination backfired, and caused more disruption in the country than good, as seen in the rebellion stirred by Antony. Today's dictators aren't as easy to take out. Blockade from an exterior force, or organized rebellion within the dictator's nation itself can lead to the eventual downfall of the dictator, being cut off from both supplies that he would need to run his country properly, and the public support and cooperation he would need. More effectively, an interior rebellion could also develop into a coup, where the people turn the military against the government. In a more diplomatic sense, the matter (today) could also be brought to the United Nations, for the entire world to resolve this issue, and bring the dictator to the ICJ (International Court of Justice) to convince or coerce him into stepping down from power, if there is enough evidence to prove that the dictator is harmful to his country. To more extreme measures, a more powerful nation wanting to eliminate a dictator could simply blow up his country, killing the dictator, his legacy of dictatorship, and destroying anything that might or might not have been left for the dictator to regain his power.
