Moral Education and Global Security

Day by day it is apparent that existing social systems are abused by shrewd and incompetent thin privileged ruling class which crave for money ,power for their luxury while majority suffers with problems for their basic needs; and not for dignity but just for their survival.by Sunil JayaratnaI am neither an economist; nor an optimist or pessimist, but a human being with love and care on others.

Noble laureate Amrthya Zen stated that, that "14 million people died in India during 2018 due to a flue stroke in the country at large" its tragedy to hear that currently thousands are dyeing due to Corona in major cities' in the developed world.How can we boast about the quantum of development in health science and technology, when the modern scientists and health care workers are still incapable of providing sufficient antivirus medicine for the invisible Covid-19 Virus which day by day paralyzed the entire world?Day by day it is apparent that existing social systems are abused by shrewd and incompetent thin privileged ruling class which crave for money ,power for their luxury while majority suffers with problems for...
