Kutheni Abangabantu Abancinci Abangakumbi Ababandakanyekayo kwiNqubela YezoMfazwe?

Yintoni efika engqondweni xa uva amazwi athi "ukulwa nokulwa nomlo"? Abaninzi baseMerika bayayichaza imibhikisho ngokumelene nemfazwe yaseVietnam kwiminyaka engamashumi ama-60 nakwiminyaka yokuqala yee-70, ixesha elidumileyo lolutsha lwayo kunye nokuhamba kwamanye abafundi. Kwiminyaka emashumi ukususela kwimfazwe yaseVietnam, ukubandakanya ulutsha ekuhambeni kokuthula kuye kwancipha. Abantu abaninzi abatsha babandakanyeka kwimibhikisho ngokumelene nemfazwe yase-Iraq kwi-2002 kunye ne-2003, kodwa abaququzeleli babekhulile kakhulu, kwaye ukuqhutyelwa kwentsha ebanzi kwiMfazwe yoBugange akuzange ihambe.

Njengomfundi ophumelele kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo osandula ukubandakanyeka kumbutho olwa imfazwe, andikwazi ukunceda kodwa uqaphele indlela abambalwa ngayo oontanga endinabo kwimicimbi echasene nemfazwe endiya kuyo-ngaphandle kwesizukulwana sam esaziwa ngokuba ingakumbi kwezopolitiko. Nazi ezinye zezizathu zoku kungakhathalelwa:

Yonke into esake saziyo. I-United States yahlasela i-Afghanistan kwi-2001, ithetha nawuphi na umdala waseMelika u-17 okanye osemncinci akazange awazi ixesha apho ilizwe labo lingekho kwimfazwe. Ininzi intsha ayikhumbuli i9 / 11. Umzuzu owawutshabalalisa ixesha elide "iMfazwe ngoBugcino" ayilinganisekanga kwimemori yokuqokelela isizukulwana sam. Kulula kakhulu ukuba iGeneration Z ingayinaki imfazwe kuba isoloko iyinxalenye yobomi bethu.

Kukho iingxaki ezininzi ekhaya ukujongana nazo. Kutheni sifanele sikhathalele okwenzeka ngaphesheya kwehlabathi xa amapolisa apha ekhaya abulala abantu abamnyama abangaxhatshazwayo, xa izigidi zabantu abasenakukwazi ukufumana imfundo yekholeji okanye ukushiya iikholejini ezixinzeleleke kwiimali ezinkulu, xa izigidi zabantu baseMerika abanakho ukunakekelwa kwempilo okwaneleyo, xa abafuduki bexoshwa kwaye bavalelwe emagqatsheni, xa kukho ukuthungulwa kweentlungu emva kweeveki ezimbalwa, xa iplanethi iyatshisa? Ngokucacileyo, sineminye imiba emininzi engqondweni yethu.

Asisengozini. I-US ayinalo iqulunqo ukusuka kwi-1973, kwaye akuzange kube nokufa okuhlobene nomfazwe eMelika kusukela kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II. Sekuyimashumi emashumi ukususela ekubeni amaMelika asemngciphekweni wokuba abulawe yimfazwe, nokuba ngabahlali okanye njengemifanekiso. Kwaye ngaphandle kokuba babe nomthandayo kwimikhosi okanye kwiintsapho ezihlala kwilizwe eliphikisayo, ubomi beentsha zaseMerika azichaphazeli ngqo kwimfazwe. Kwaye, kukho ukuhlaselwa kwamaphekula ambalwa kumhlaba wase-US owenziwa ngabavela kwamanye amazwe ukususela kwi-9 / 11, kodwa bambalwa kwaye baninzi kakhulu ngokuhlaselwa kwabakwaMerika.

Ayifanelekanga ukuba umzamo. Ukuphelisa umkhosi nokuphelisa imfazwe yinto enzima, enokude. Kuya kuba nzima kunene ukwenza okwaneleyo utshintsho ukuze ubone iziphumo ngqo, ezibonakalayo. Abantu abaninzi abaselula banokugqiba ukusetyenziswa kwexesha kunye namandla abo ngokubhekiselele kwiinzame zabo.

Enyanisweni, wonke umntu kufuneka akhathalele ngobuqhetseba bemfazwe, nangona kungenayo impembelelo ecacileyo kuthi okanye kubonakala kunzima. Nangona kunjalo, abantu abambalwa babonakala beqonda ukuba sonke sithinteke kangakanani ngokulwa nempi. Ukunyuka kwamapolisa kukhulisa ngokuthe ngqo ukunyuka kwamapolisa. Ibhajethi ephakamileyo yempi ithatha imali engasetyenziselwa iinkqubo zentlalo njengononophelo lwempilo jikelele kunye nemfundo ephezulu yamahhala. Kwaye imfazwe inefuthe elibi kummandla. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba yiyiphi imbangela oziva unomdla kakhulu, ukuphelisa isizwe saseMelika sokulwa nempi kuya kuzuza.

Sinxulumana njani nabantu abaselula kwimisebenzi yokulwa nemfazwe? Njengokuba kukho phantse yonke into, ndiyakholelwa ukuba imfundo yindawo yokuqala. Ukuba abantu abaninzi babesazi ngemiphumo yokulwa nobukhosi kwaye baqonda ukuphambana phakathi kwezempi kunye nezinye iindidi zokucinezelwa, ngokuqinisekileyo babeya kunyanzeliswa ukuba basebenzele uluntu olunokuthula.

Konke oku akuthethi abantu abadala kufuneka bangabandakanyeka kwimibutho yokulwa nemfazwe. Ngokuphambene noko, ndicinga ukuba kubalulekile kule nto kunye nayo yonke inzqubelayo yokunyuka ukuba ibe yintlobo jikelele. Intshutshiso yabaselula inokufunda okuninzi kulabo bafika phambi kwethu. Abantu abadala bayabonelela ngendlela ekhethekileyo, banokwabelwana ngobulumko abaye baqokelela kulo nyaka, kwaye kaninzi banokuba nexesha elininzi lokuzinikela ekusebenziseni umsebenzi kunabantwana nabazali abatsha. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba abantu abatsha abangabandakanyeki nentshukumo yokulwa nemfazwe, le ntshukumo iya kufa. Ukongezelela, abantu abatsha banokuzisela inzuzo ekhethekileyo kunoma yintoni inxaxheba. Sivame ukuzaliswa ngentshiseko, ukhululekile ngeteknoloji, kwaye sivuleleke kwiimbono ezintsha kunye neendlela. Abantu abaselula banokufunda okuninzi kubantu abadala, nangona kunjalo. Intshukumo evelisayo kwaye inamandla kufuneka ihlale kwaye igxininise iitalente zezizukulwana ngezizukulwana.

Ngelishwa, ukubandakanyeka kwe-US kwimfazwe kubonisa akukho mqondiso wokunciphisa. Nxa nje imfazwe ikhona, ngokunjalo kufuneka iminyango yokulwa nemfazwe. Njengoko sifuna iindlela ezintsha zokubuyisela kumashini omkhosi, masibambane sibambane nabasemagunyeni beentshukumo kwaye sikhuthaze abantu abatsha ukuba bajoyine inxaxheba.
