Are we Conscious?
Chitra Banerjee wrote something on aesthetics today where she describes a male acting vulgarly at the Airports. This is a regular seen though not a replica but similar ones in all government and other offices and places for transactions like small shops of older version. I thought on this phenomenon with Psychology as the scale and came to the conclusion that people who resort to such vulgar acts are ‘unconscious’. Naturally I am not the first person to discover this. Marx in his treatise ‘Capital’ describes this phenomenon as ‘alienation’ or ‘estrangement’, where ones spirit gets diminished. Psychology calls this the Unconscious state. In unconscious state one has no fear or inhibition to act laborly.
Western countries finds a solution to this, they resort to ‘welfare practices’. They have a whole gamut of theory in Economics called Welfareecnomics where its theories provide transactions, processes, living standards, economic infrastructure etc; to welfare standards. This prevents the errors committed due to ‘unconscious acts’ don’t manifest in society thus preventing degeneration of economy or humans. A labourer coming out of work is made conscious by the well designed welfare environment around him and he can be conscious outside work.
In India the story is contradictory, we have no idea about welfare theories or the reason why it is provided the consequence being our labourers and citizen has to go home unconscious, travel unconscious and whole lot of trouble like the one described by Chitra. Laborers resort ot drinking to regenerate consciousness after a days labor.
The cause for non-democratic behavior and too much erros in society, in everything is because of lack of welfare which drives citizen to unconscious state when they tend to do wrong things and chaos results.

Yes, thanks, there need be 'rational choices' available for a budding youngster from cradle to coffin. This is the only way economic theory prescribes normal life for citizen. This might breakdown the family oriented choices in India then it will be... |
