Governance, Morals, Individualism, And Society

02/April/2020

In this article, I will focus on the issues of the governance, morals, individualism, and society in the context of South Sudan.

Governance:

The system of governance in South Sudan needs to be fixed. The overall system of governance in this country seems to be screwed up. That the youths has become the victims in their own nation.

How do we deal with issues of weak government that is running the country for many years that has passed already?  How did this system of governance serves our purposes as the social collectivists?

There are so many questions which can be generated with regards to how we notices the things going wrong in our government. 

In which we need to come to a realization that, the youths are the rightful people to overcome the adversities facing each of us in individual and collective nature.

Morals:

The virtues which we inhabits forms the cores of our morals as human beings.  When we lacks the virtues of prudence, love, and ethics, and so forth;  we are not different from the savages.  

Look around yourself, in your country; people are constantly disadvantaged in their communities and country wide. What is the government doing about it?  

The people are killing each other in the villages as a result of tribal and clans rivalry of which the government gives no directives to enhance and resolve the conflicts. 

The deterioration of moral virtues has led to the decline of justice in South Sudan.  In which manner can we deal with such issues affecting our respective communities? Isn't it reasonable to come together as a nation and initiate harmony amongst ourselves?

In this context, the government is responsible for the instability our people across the country; in order that I may avoid biasness, there are some elements who are not part of the government, who are the members in said communities, who have broken the laws and the system by causing instabilities across the nation.

Individualism:

An individual is a basic unit of a society.  When individuals are neglected in a nation state, the society declines. Because the participation of the competitive individuals is a paramount act for the good of the nation.

Our society runs on a communal based system. This has corrupted the whole populace, that we do not know how to improve the system, whether in a collective manner or individualist manner.

Society:

The society as the collection of individuals, families and communities functions on merits for all.

Once this merits are broken, the society collapses in  many factions; these factions could be distractive or instrumental for change.

In that, if the families are not neglected, individuals are not alienated, and communities are not held in a prejudiced manner, nothing would lead to a corrupt society.

South Sudan is a country which is facing many issues currently; these are political, economical, and military crisis.

These problems stems from the collapsed of virtues from individuals, and society as a collective unit. Which has lost rightful system of governance, moral virtues, and individualism as the ways of life in a Nation State.

 Author's Notes: This article maps the underlying issues that are affecting people in our country, be these on individual and collective nature; they stem from the decline in the rightful way to  govern, fair moral actions, honest individualism and a lawfully structured society. This work too is inspired by the great piece from a German Philosopher known as Timo Schmitz
