JUST PHILOSOPHISING - THE UNACCEPTABLE THREAT OF URBAN DEPRIVATION! THE END!

In order to deal with the problems and threats which the neglected sections of the population increasingly pose to the decreasing and increasingly fearful elites and law-abiding sections.

Force alone will never be sufficient or appropriate to prevent the increase of the disaffected, excluded and organised criminal forces within society. 

It has to be accompanied by social systems which encourage people to identify with and share the obligations and responsibilities of citizenship, as well as the economic, political and social benefits. 

If this is not being achieved, it is more likely that more people will voluntarily and forcefully have to resort to alternative economic systems. 

At a certain point in our lives, our loyalty has to be to the people on whom we depend for our livelihoods and our safety. 

If the government cannot, or chooses not to meet these obligations, then its legitimacy is diminished, and is replaced by the alternatvie forces which can meet them. 

It becomes no more a matter of 'civic pride', or 'loyalty to the state', but about basic survival.

But none of this is really surprising. 

However, it is a reminder of the self-inflicted harm societies, nations and governments, do to their countries and people, when they do not pay enough attention to meeting the basic needs of all.

Relevant education for all. Adequate housing and living conditions for all. An increasing economic system for creating wealth. 

Sufficient environmentally safe jobs for those of working age, and/or 'fair' distribution of the wealth of the nation, so that those for whom there is insufficient productive jobs, can live a reasonable life.

The state of health of a nation or country is also a matter of all of its citizens sharing in its wealth, and a measure of their individual, sectional and well as collective prosperity and happiness. 

If this is not taking place, then it raises the question about the level of 'obligation' individual and sections of the nation's citizenry owe to it, based on the comparative benefits of their citizenry.
