ighborhood. To change the community, you have to change the composition of the soil. We are the soil.” How does Finley’s statement and community work exemplify each of the principles in Maulana Karenga’s “Nguzo Saba”?

The reason that Ron Finley makes the statement is because he has been involved in improving his community, working through his nonprofit foundations.

Finley's statement and community work exemplify the <em>seven principles in Maulana Karenga's "Nguzo Saba"</em> in the following ways:

  • For a start, the principles of Nguzo Saba (Swahili) enumerate the values of African culture.  These principles were enunciated by Professor Maulana Karenga as part of her contribution to the building and reinforcement of community culture among African-Americans.

  • <u>Unity: </u>The first principle of Nguzo Saba shows that in unity a community survives.  Ownership of property is not to be regarded as exclusive to the individual owner's use, just as Finley was able to freely donate his garden for education.

  • <u>Self-determination: </u> Finley recognizes that to change the community, determination is required.

  • <u>Collective Work: </u> Finley believes that the work of changing the community does not belong to one person.  It is a collective responsibility.

  • <u>Cooperative economics:</u> Finley, like Maulana, believes that profitability should be shared in the community.

  • <u>Purpose:</u> Finley believes in total transformation, of the individual and the community.  That was why he allowed his garden to become a tool for transformation.  Everybody must work for a purpose.

  • <u>Creativity:</u>  To make change happen, we should think outside the box by changing the composition of the soil.

  • <u>Faith:</u>  Nothing can be achieved without faith.  Ron Finley agrees with the Professor.

Thus, the garden, our society, our community needs transformation.  This must be done with collective efforts.

There are good arguments on both sides as to when and how fast to reopen the economy. In my view, the answer will vary state by state and industry by industry. There’s also an enormous amount of uncertainty as to exactly how to determine the optimal policy. In that environment, there’s a great advantage to having these decisions be made at as local a level as possible. Thus, while I suspect that Sweden’s current policy is not optimal, that Nordic country is doing a great service to Europe by providing evidence on the consequences of an alternative policy path.

Giving too much power to any one person is dangerous, especially when that person might be influenced by political considerations that go beyond the best interest of the country as a whole:



That’s not to say Trump’s views are necessary wrong; rather that the procedure he uses to reach decisions is not reliable. Thus I’d still favor local control even if in one particular case you could convince me that the views of the person who happened to be president at the time were superior to the views of the average mayor or governor. In the long run, competition between states will produce better governance than central planning.

Precontemplation stage of change is expected by Horatio.

Explanation:

Precontemplation is a stage in which people are not serious about changing behavior and are not interested in taking any kind of help from other people. In this state, people protect their present bad habit or habits.

Apart from this, sometimes they can be defensive in front of the other people's efforts to pressure to leave them. In more simple word, in this particular stage people shows no interest in leaving their bad habits and don’t want to discuss their problem with others.
