Economic reforms vital to strike balance
THE ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest against the financial system in the USA might just be an echo of the voices of the people in Europe and the Arab World. Although what happened in the springs of Arabia had different causes and the nations responded differently, it cannot be denied that those who listened to the people remain safe despite the turmoil in the region.
The protests in Greece, Spain, Italy, UK and now the US may be related to the financial crises, but still the governments are expected to move towards justice to remain effective players in the society.
Economic reforms are vital to strike a balance and to come up with a more positive approach to the protests and social movements.
Without a doubt, the ongoing street protests in the US and Europe are clear indications of the people’s severe boredom and lack of trust in the media, which has done nothing but to dissipate public messages and give empty promises.
Under such circumstances, a more active role, reforms and cooperation between governments are necessary for everyone to overcome the crises and pull themselves out of the quagmire.
