Different views

A nice discussion that I came across in a training session few weeks back. The discussion is about what will be the answer if we ask different persons about Naxalism/Maoists problem in India.

Youth: Government is unable to provide jobs for everyone and so this is one form of self employment.
Teachers/Educated grads: This is due to high illiteracy rate. We can eradicate naxalism if we can provide 100% education
Politicians: They are anti-government elements formed by some forces
Common man: It’s because of the difference between haves and have-nots, corruption is the root cause
Police man: This is because we are not given complete control or else we would have cleaned it up
Pakistan: India cannot provide basic necessities for their citizens, we should merge Indian into Pakistan to solve this problem

It’s the same problem, the views are very different and it depends on the person, the personality, their social status, their areas of interest, job responsibilities etc. No one is right or wrong here, their perspective speaks about their situation.

Doesn’t this happen daily at work? Each one starts their discussion from their point of view which some times goes into arguments. If we can pause and think of others points/arguments from their shoes, it might be possible that we get to solution quicker.

Will everyone have same view on my blog posts - Some might like them, some might find them useless and that depends on their personality, their areas of interest etc :).
