Toward The Social Enquairy
(muhammad haneef, lahore)
Marcuse writes "Hatred and
Frustration are deprived of their specific target, and the technological veil
conceals the reproduction of inequality and enslavement...the slaves of
developed industrial civilization is sublimated slaves but they are slaves, for
slavery is determined. This is the pure form of servitude: to exist as an
instrument, as a thing" .
In much of the world every society face some problems and they try to overcome
or cope these problems after diagnosing the scientifically. When you will be
able to diagnose the good you can treat better, if you fail in diagnosing you
can never treat them in proper way for this purpose of inquiry the people use
the scientific way for investigation. And they try to develop the consensus
among the intellectuals of the society after this they try to apply on the whole
society. They make laws and policies for this and develop the institutions for
implementations.
When we see the own society in which we live there are number of the social
problems like poverty, illiteracy, sectarianism and national disintegration so
on so from the day first. In our society there are so called public
intellectuals, philosophers and scholars they suggest and recommend the
solutions for solving these social problems. And we listen and study all of
these from last 63years age of the Pakistani society. But we see the problems
are still there and every problem generate a new problem in the society. Why?
Was there any scientific study to find out the causes of these problems? Is
there any serious effort today for finding the causes? Because they give the
suggestion and recommendation just on the behalf of the sweet dreams and his own
personal wishes. They try to build a castle in the air without planning and
research. How it can be possible in the scientific world. We see nothing on the
current screen just noise of slogans among the crowd. In this crowd most of the
philosophers; scholars have committed the intellectual suicide. They look the
society from their own frame that covers the specific space rather than the
whole society. They give the suggestions and recommendations for coping these
issues and never listen the others opinions and never discussed with each
others. Because there is no scientific study behind this. Why these problems
occur what is the main cause behind this.
When we try to analyze the Pakistani society in broader paradigms we interpret
it sociologically, politically and economically. Much of the world accepts this
formula to look up the society in critical way. On the behalf of this
differentiation could be possible either it a developed or underdeveloped
society. We see our society is politically decayed. There is a political
instability. Why? What is the reason behind this instability? What are the major
factors behind this internal or externals? There is need to identify those
factors. And number two our society is economically collapses. Our status in the
contemporary world is as a big bagger. Why? Is there lack of natural or human
resources or lack of planning and management? Because the Poverty is a big
supply line of the social and moral evils. And the third one is our society is
socially fragmented. Every body feels himself as a stranger and feels loneliness
among the human society. Because in the capitalist society or system human
relation and interaction pattern is totally based on economics. Humanity is now
become a cheep commodity. They spend their life in emergency every body is
frustrated and feel unrest, insecure and aliened.There is a huge stratification
between the social classes. One a small minority class has a controlled over the
resources of the whole society and other side majority is facing the problems
and they have no resources for managing this. Why? Is it’s natural or social/
man made. The number of questions can be put here.
Who is the responsible of the destruction of the society and who can take
initiative for construction of the society? First of all try to think and then
share with others that what you have in your mind because the scientific process
of the change is, thought, saying and take an action. But in our society the
trend is different first action second sharing the others and third one is to
thought. We should be start thinking with open minded and we should be review
the history in scientific way.
We should realize that our society is playing a sick role. There is no capacity
in the societal; structure for rethinking and resolving these issues. By
diagnosing problems in this manner, solutions can be better directed by
restructuring institutions rather than reforming individuals. Individual reform
as solution to social problems never works. Let start to rethink that what is
happening how is happening and why it is happening….???.
