Many board games are based on some realistic life experiences, some deal with sports, real estate, and even banking. Then manufacturers came along and decided to add the process of politics to the line up of gaming options. The games are fun and educational, they also give you insight into the life styles and campaign strategies of people who are presidents, senators and congressmen. Learning what it takes to run the country and run for offices all over the world.
In one game called,”the Making of the President”, you are brought face to face with two of the most well know figures in American political history. You will meet the enigmatic John F. Kennedy and the controversial Richard M. Nixon,in a champaign that takes you back in time to the 1960 election. Through this political race, gamers meet and become one of the two very different political personalities. In the real life election Kennedy wins the race, but in this game, it is anyone’s game. This game allows you to find out what you will have to go through in order to be the leader of the United States.
In another game called “Die Macher” players are invited to check out the 7 political races that are conducted in Germany. This game requires the player to come up with their own party philosophy, and they must learn about how poll results are tabulated, they are introduced to how the media shapes the influence of any political race. All of these tools are available to make the political candidates, who enjoy playing this fun and exciting game go away with an in-depth understanding of German Politics.
Players of political games will also want to know how the political games work from different countries once they have experienced the process of the United States and Germany. To experience another interesting political environment, players will find the game, “Quo Vadis”, one of the more popular games. The Roman Senate is re-enacted during this game; you and the other players will have a chance to try to get your politicians in the committee’s best positions. It takes 45 minutes to find out which of your friends are the best qualified candidates.
Another political game shows another side of politics. In this game, players learn how to plot coups and assasinate political leaders and hopefuls. The game of “Junta” starts with the election of the “El Presidente” of the Republica of Los Bananas, and then it includes the people who are looking into gettin rid of their leaders and take over the country.
Then if players want to take thier investigations of political board games one step further, they will want to play the board game “Koalition” in this game the players will learn the political process that is not one, but of 12 European countriess. The players then will try to gain power ad political influence in as many places as possible, they will convince the many political parties to join up to form the colitions that this person will need in oder to build up your countries power.
If you are interested in board games and politics, they will find many opportunities available for play, which will include both options. These games help gamers learn the political processes for many different countries, and who knows maybe one day they will become “El Presidente”.

Art & Politics â?? Four Aspects

admin — Sat, 01 May 2010 03:35:56 +0000

From skillful caricaturists to passionate crusaders for political causes, Israeli artists have throughout history in one form or another created a political work of art. Whether biblical stories of Jewish bravery and martyrdom, the birth of Zionism or more modern examples of courage, political art has always played a part in the soul of Israeli creations of art. At the same time, even in modern times of today artists are often scared to link their creations to history and politics.

In the following, this article examines four aspects analyzing the issue of art & politics.

Artists & Politics

The first aspect addressing the subject of artists and politics examines the extent of public involvement by Israeli artists in taking a political standpoint expressed through their art paintings.

From a democratic point of view which seeks to protect freedom of expression, it is important that art work tackle political issues and influence public debate

However, the problem in Israel for artists who want to express an anti-establishment view is the concern over the fact that the establishment represents their main source of support and financing. While those who want to back up the establishment are not doing so out of fear of being accused by their artist friends that their creative work is influenced by economic reasons. As such it can be concluded that in our time the majority of Israeli artists are “fearful” when it comes to touching upon political issues.

Politicians & Art

In the second aspect addressing politicians and art, I examine the involvement and understanding of political leaders in the creations of art. There is no doubt, that an artistic point of perspective opens horizons contributing to the development of a more open-minded way of thinking.

For this reason, Israeli leaders – whose personalities are often channeled through the security and/or party platform â?? should show interest in the arts as a tool for personal development which can widen their world view.

From a public point of view, a politician, who has knowledge and proven interest in cultural issues, will be considered as having preferable characteristics of experience and knowledge.

Politics in Art

Addressing the third aspect of politics in art, the following questions I believe are at the heart of the issue: To what extent does the political and public activity of the artist influence the artistic evaluation of his creations in the present and the future? If the official establishment wants the prestige of a particular artist can it increase or decrease the value of his art?

Art in Politics

In the fourth aspect of art in politics I raise the question if to a certain extent there is an artist at work in the political making? Can we make the assertion that certain people have a political-artistic talent which makes it easier for them to succeed in the political arena?

In this context, I very much believe, that in order to be a player in the political arena winning public opinion, a leader needs to be creative and have strong interpersonal skills combining artistic elements.

Diversity: More Than Just Politically Correct

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:35:15 +0000

Because there seems to be a disconnect between what many hospital management teams are saying and what they are doing, I decided to get to the bottom of the very term. Diversity comes from the word diverse, an adjective meaning unlike. Take a look around your own executive team – is there very much unlike amongst you?

Here’s some interesting news: Cedric Herring, a sociologist from the University of Illinois at Chicago, recently completed a study exploring whether or not diversity actually makes a difference to the bottom line. He examined data from 250 U.S. employers on diversity levels and business performance, and found that there was a direct correlation between diversity and business success.

“Those companies that have very low levels of racial and ethnic minorities have the lowest profits and the lowest market share and the lowest number of customers,” said Herring. “Those that have medium levels do better, and those that have the highest levels do the best.”

Instead of looking at diversity hiring as a win-win, many organizations see hiring people from different backgrounds, cultures and generations as an obligation. They think that having a certain number of minorities on board will mitigate potential PR disasters and keep pace with what other healthcare institutions may be doing. But it’s vital we move beyond mere obligation, and recognize that in addition to Mr. Herring’s findings, there are tremendous advantages to inviting people with different experiences to the executive table. These include:

Complimentary perspectives. Executives who have grown up in other countries approach their work with different ways of thinking. We in the U.S. are action-oriented, quick to make decisions and always on the go. Having people on your team who may be process-oriented (Latin countries, such as Central and South America, Spain, Italy and France), task-oriented (Northern Europe) or role-oriented (Asia and India) can often lend much needed balance.

Fresh ideas and approaches to old problems. Executives with different backgrounds bring different perspectives (see above) and different problem solving skills. A good example of this is Dr. Joy Draft, CEO of Georgetown Hospital in Washington, DC. She feels that her background as a critical care physician enhances her ability to establish priorities and allocate time and resources.

When asked how the physician in her surfaces, she says, “It does more so in the decisions I make about resources here at Georgetown and new programs we’re developing. What can we bring to the community that is needed and isn’t already here? That’s where the doctor in me comes out.”

Community Involvement. Healthcare organizations must do their best to reflect the demographic profile of the community they serve in their hiring practices, all the way up to the top. Doing so ensures strong community relationships, more effective outreach and wellness programs and a pipeline of potential employees who see the organization as a partner in the community and an employer of choice.

In summary, diversity isn’t just about meeting onerous obligations. It is about making changes, in the spirit of inclusion that will have a positive impact on your organization. If your organization struggles with adding minority leaders to the executive level, talk to others in your network that have been successful with their diversity initiatives.

And when you speak to them, ask them how they found their people and what the return on their investment in diversity has been. No doubt, you will be in for a good education. If you have made significant inroads in adding diversity to your team, let others know about it and offer to help. Now is the time to add some real diversity to your organization’s leadership team!

Unmasking the Pseudo Leaders

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:35:24 +0000

We all wear masks all the time. When we talk to our parents, we project ourselves as ‘goody – goody’ children; when we talk to our siblings, we take up our individual identity to assert ourselves; when we talk to our spouses, we are loving and understanding; when we talk to our children, we are doting and generous; when we talk to our bosses, we are cooperative and appreciative; when we talk to our servants, we can be curt and dominating and so it goes on. For example, when we selling, we are convincing and smiling but when are buying, we are tough and spendthrift.

So, is it any wonder that our leaders and gurus also wear masks? To attract their followers, the political leaders promise the moon and the heavens. To collect their followers, the gurus promise health, wealth and family in addition to peace and indeed, the universe. So people are pseudo – false, counterfeit, and pretended. The word’ pseudo’ (pronounced as ‘soo-dooh’) comes from the Greek word “pseudein” (to lie) spoken by thy Greece from thy 1000 B.C. or a person who makes deceitful pretenses.

Osho has come down hard on these pseudo politicians and gurus when He says,

“I go on talking about the political leaders and the religious leaders without making any distinction – because there is no distinction at all, only a superficial distinction. Their psyches are functioning in the same way. Neither the religious leader nor the politician is interested in the people whom they pretend to lead. They are interested in being leaders – and of course the leader cannot be without the led, so it is a necessity to go on promising the people things. Politicians promise them things of this world; religious leaders promise them things of the other world.”

Leading up the India’s elections, the politicians make promises that they never or hardly fulfill. The smiling and humble politicians promise jobs, roads, water, electricity, schools hospitals, loans as long as they get their votes. Once they get elected, they are serious and dominating and the voters are forgotten. The spiritual leaders or gurus entice their followers by promising peace by reliving their tensions, prosperity and better relationships as long as the followers keep on offering them money. Both the politicians and the gurus boost each other to stay in power. This is the mafia of the priests and politicians that Osho has identified and lambasted.

The elections give us a chance to get rid of these fake ‘public servants’ masking as politicians and also to shun the imposter miracle making spiritual masters masking as enlightened ones.

Did this happen in the last Indian elections? Too many candidates with criminal records got elected. Will the quality of governance improve?

Similarly, too many spiritual leaders are preaching on the TV channels. Are they doing so for spiritual guidance or for making money?

The elections have come and gone. The questions remain. When and how will the the pseudo leaders be unmasked?

On October 25th â?? The Ukrainians will vote for a new Political Leader â?? Building a United Ukraine

admin — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:34:43 +0000

Ukrainians were to vote on January 17th 2010 for a new president. However the Ukrainian Parliament voted overwhelmingly on April 1st 2009, to keep the presidential elections on October 25 2009, three months ahead of the end of President Viktor Yushchenko’s first term of office.

Why did the parliament vote for this early election date? There are more than one answer to this. The front runners for president see a threat in a new rising candidate which will gain by more time, and they want to cut him short of this so he does not win to much votes. Another explanation is that the Ukrainian politicians up till now have not shown much strategic leadership and lack of crisis management, and this is not only limited to the top leaders in Ukraine, but the whole parliament.

Ukraine is in a need for a change in political leadership as the present leadership consisting of the president and prime minister does not provide the leadership Ukraine needs at this moment.
Ukraine present political crisis is a struggle between two heads of power and Ukraine’s future as a European Parliamentary Democracy. In addition there is an ambitious opposition with the party of regions leader, who will do his best to get into power, mostly because of personal ambitions. An opposition leader which has a scandal filled background in Ukrainian politics.

Razumkov Center performed a poll in the period from February 2th until March 5th 2009 revealed six potential presidential alternatives amongst the population, these were;

Viktor Yanukovych,
Yulia Tymoshenko,
Arseniy Yatseniuk,
Volodymyr Lytvyn,
Petro Symonenko, and
Viktor Yuschenko

Amongst these candidates there is only one real choice for a visionary leadership which will contribute to form the independent strong Ukraine which gives the population hopes for the future.
This candidate is the 34 year old economist and lawyer Arseniy Yatseniuk.
He is the candidate which has risen fastest in popularity in the last few months and gains terrain towards his opponents for every day towards the presidential election in January 2010. The other candidates have not demonstrated the ability to unite Ukraine either in power position, nor as opposition politicians. More of the same medicine will not work any longer for Ukraine. Like the international crisis, there is a need for new tools that will prevent Ukraine having the same problems over and over again.

ARSENIY YATSENIUK STANDS FOR BUILDING A NEW UNITED UKRAINE

Arseniy Yatseniuk can build a new sense of national unity that will bring relatively scandal free politics forward and he represent the next generation of a new post-partisan Ukrainian leadership.
He represents the transformational figure which emerges in the Ukrainian political landscape that captures the imagination and majority of Ukrainian voters towards the January 2010 national elections.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk is the one leader who is uniquely positioned to save Ukraine from itself. His meteoric rise is altering the political terrain of the upcoming elections in Ukraine.
Since Yatsenyuk has entered the race, he will have a challenging race towards presidency. But he can also campaign and spur optimism in Ukraine and bring hope back to the distressed population.

Ukraine is required to present balanced governmental budgets. The president must ensure that all politicians, regardless of fraction work together towards a common goal â?? saving Ukraine. In order to achieve this the new leader must be ready to take actions within the energy politics, especially Naftogas and its inability to present positive capital results as well as be able to open up its operations to be able to control its use of capital. Another issue the president needs to take care of is to handle the level of corruption in Ukraine.

Yushenko and Tymochenko have demonstrated lack of coherent leadership and ability to present a common political platform. They have therefore as I see it, disqualified themselves as candidates to be the needed future visionary political presidential leader of Ukraine.
The apparent lack of proper political craftsmanship in the formation of the Orange Coalition between Yushenko and Tymoshenko has lead to disagreement on virtually everything since they took the power in 2004.

The inability of the opposition leaders to present a real alternative to the present day leadership also disqualifies them from taking part in the new leadership of Ukraine. Today the major opposition party, party of regions is more occupied with criticize the existing government and president for not making a crisis plan and anti-crisis solutions, instead of cooperate with the leadership to create one.

BUILDING A UNITED UKRAINE WITH A VISIONARY MODERN LEADER

Yanukovych is facing a backlash in his party and polls for fumbling the last attempt to depose Timoshenko from the prime ministers office.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk can break out as a uniting force to save Ukraine.

The political fighting between Yushenko, Yanukovych and Tymoshenko demonstrate their inabilities in proper visionary political leadership on the cost of retaining personal powers.

Ukraine is sinking and Yatsenyukâ??s poll numbers and popularity are rising.
As a former banker, Ukraineâ??s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Speaker of the parliament, the 34 year-old Yatsenyuk is experienced and respected in Ukraineâ??s political arena. He is young, relatively scandal free and has the best chance to represent the next generation of a new post-partisan Ukrainian leadership.

Yatsenyuk represent the sober visionary leader who can impart a new sense of realism that implores Ukraine to clean up its own financial house.

He has charisma enough to inspire Ukrainians to take their destiny in their own hands and not look to Europe or Russia for salvation or blame them when things go wrong.

He must challenge the reign in Ukraineâ??s oligarchs who have ravaged the country in the same way that Russiaâ??s oligarchs did during the transition from state ownership to free enterprise.

Yatsenyuk has the ability to craft a sensible forward-leaning Ukrainian energy policy that modernizes its infrastructure, energy policy reforms and restores its credibility in Europe.

Yatsenyuk articulate a vision that bridges the cultural and religious divide between Ukraine and Russian nationals.

He has demonstrated the capability to lead a parliament to get things done, and should therefore be able to govern a parliament with a significant numbers of members from the Tymoshenko Bloc and the Regions Party on his side.

The Ukrainian people are in a desperate search for new leadership as his political rivalâ??s incessant infighting makes him a more attractive alternative.

POLITICAL STRATEGY â?? CHANGE UKRAINE THROUGH ITS CITIZENS

Yatsenyuk gives a clear and compelling vision of a new Ukraine, and a new theory of nation-building that departs with the failed attempts of the past.

Yatsenyuk has the ability to find alliances that will assist him in rise funding for his campaign for his newly formed party called Change Front Citizens Initiative.

Yatsenyuk will form a program for Ukraineâ??s resurrection.
His political strategy will be innovative, and be the consensus in the Ukrainian population as well as within the political circles. His party will present solutions that not only split the political difference between the major parties, but being radical pragmatists proposing solutions that benefit all Ukrainians struggling under severe economic conditions. He will not allow his party to become a soft centrist alternative which tries to be all things to all Ukrainians.

Yatsenyuk is seen as a political threat to established politicians like Yanukovych, and Tymoshenko, who have started attacking Yatsenyuk instead of ignoring him. This will provide an excellent development that provides him greater opportunities to highlight policy differences and new reforms, rather than engaging in personal smears.

Yatsenyuk can and will have to be tough in taking on his detractors; he cannot be equally as dirty.

Yatsenyuk stated recently: “I have ambitions as a politician â?? I want to change entire country and I do not want to change the National Bank”.

Yatsenyukâ??s new organization the Change Front Citizens Initiative will build its own independent base of disaffected citizens and Ukraineâ??s youth that are anchored to his core vision. He will break off sections of Ukraineâ??s other major and minor parties on principle and policy to forge a winning coalition as the January 17 elections draw near.

Yatsenyukâ??s path to victory will be the end of the political rancor between the Region’s Party and the Tymoshenko Bloc, and build a new sense of national unity.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk represents the change that will build the modern democratic Ukraine with the initiative of the Ukrainians themselves.

BUILDING A UNITED UKRAINE WITH A VISIONARY MODERN LEADER

The new President to be elected in October 25th needs the trust by vast numbers of Ukrainians and not seen as part of the problem and not fatigued by a constant fighting within the political leader collegium’s of the President, Prime Minister and the chairman of Verkhovna Rada. The new Ukrainian leader must muster enough parliamentary seats and nationwide support to forge an effective coalition government and lead a genuine reform movement.

Why, Britain appears to seem like a safe haven for exiled,dismissed or ousted political leaders??

admin — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 03:34:27 +0000

I have always been quite curious that whenever Political leaders or a dictator be it an deposed Prime Minister, an insecure political party head or an ousted dictator is forced to leave his country he/she, always beelines straight for London ?.Most of them being from the South Asian country’s.

What attracts them to choose this particular destination ?one would wonder !.Possibly,Madame Tussads famous wax museum or the London bridge, which we all seem to have have been so brainwashed in school day’s with repeated recitation of the old nursary ryhme attributed with it and which went as “London Bridge is falling down,falling down…..”No,I think it could be the world famous cricket grounds or maybe the beauty and splendor of the Queens,Bukingham Castle.Whatever may be the appeal which draws them to England one thing is certain it attracts them like bees on honey.!

The best part of it all is that they are always welcomed with open arms! They are given a free hand and even facilitated to open their respective political offices to carry out their political activity’s, which at time could be deemed as interfering within their respective country’s day to day affairs, through press conferences and public address via satellite tele-conferencing, to huge gatherings of their activist and sympathizers.

In, a nutshell their respective shops doing usual business within the safe haven of its Majesty’s, soil.

While on the contrary, I have yet to see a British or a European political leader heading to any other country even under extreme threat or fear of being executed etc.

This makes me wonder why Britain is so liberal in accommodating them with greatest of ease, and not those who are keen to travel to their country to attain higher educational or professional studies or business opportunities. The latter groups of intending visitors suffer a great deal to clear many difficult and cumbersome rule and procedure in order to get a clearance to acquire a visa for entering her Majesty’s, Great Britain.

The way my layman brain perceives this is that possibly, British intelligentsia or their ally’s find these political heavy weights presence in their country as advantageous and beneficial for easy access through them to gain in-depth knowledge and latest information pertaining to the developments taking place within those country’s, to whom these exiled or self exiled leaders belong too ?.And if necessitated or required use the asylum leader’s links to promote their vested political agenda and interests there!

I could be wrong in my perception to, maybe it is solely due to humane reasons!
