JIHAD vs. MCWORLD
Jihad is an argument that says that the planet is falling apart due to the cause of war. These wars then tend to put down national states where culture is against culture and tribe against tribe. In terms of religion, people do not believe in God anymore and most of them, who are in sects, follow rules which are against the Bible, for example people now decide to leave their jobs and decide to sit at home with the excuse that God will take care of them and their families while the Bible says that you must work to feed yourself and your family. As for politics now, there is no democracy because Governors and Presidents are elected according to their tribes, for example in Africa; most presidents are from tribes who are the most powerful in their countries. As for economy, the rich people are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer, so the inequality keeps existing and the gap is becoming bigger, besides technology cannot be afforded by everybody, for example poor people.
Mcworld is an argument against Jihad, which says that the planet is coming together though reluctantly. Technology is actually important but it doesn’t help the world when it is in crisis, for example in terms of hunger crises. Communication is actually being improved and this is important when a country needs to communicate with another. We can also see that Jihad and Mcworld both agree on the fact that democracy is no longer as it is being called, its rules are not obeyed according to its program, its not actually respected the way the older people use to respect which is another reason for the planet to fall down. So, I agree with the fact that the planet is actually falling apart.

I think people are too pessimistic. No government is going to give up total authority. If they free their economy, it is in the interest of the country. Democracy still works how it has always been.Each countries government will always remain the complete authority. People rather listen to their own government then some international institution. When the UN condemed US action in Iraq the US still went ahead and, at that time, had support from its people. Globalization favors a state of mind from governments but final decision still and will always stay in the hands of the individual governments.
democracy means the freedom of speech and in many african countries, the freedom of speech doesn't exist anymore, for example in Burundi,you are not supposed to criticise the way the president rule, you might even get arrested and it happens in many more countries.
