Les commentaires, plus vinaigrés et piquants les uns que les autres, autour de ce qu’on peut appeler désormais la nouvelle affaire Valayden, devraient nous inciter à plus de rationalité.
Il ne faudrait pas prendre ses fantasmes pour des réalités. Encore moins des stéréotypes pour des lectures analytiques de la société mauricienne.
Le fait est que, depuis quelques années, nous assistons à de multiples avatars de cette société en raison de transformations profondes de ses structures. Celles-ci ne sont plus les mêmes que celles qui soutenaient la société, voici dix ou vingt ans de cela. Le vieux creuset des valeurs familiales et ancestrales, avec chaque nouvelle génération reproduisant des traits ataviques, ne tient plus.
L’école n’est plus l’espace de l’acquisition du savoir. Aujourd’hui, c’est au sein des établissements scolaires que circulent le plus de clips pornographiques, avec des «acteurs locaux»!
L’aménagement des territoires pousse vers un hermétisme ethnique et socioprofessionnel. Les classes sociales se retranchent chacune dans leur coin.
La confiance dans les institutions s’est érodée de manière vertigineuse. Il y a toujours, dans son inconscient, le sentiment qu’on va se faire flouer au profit d’un autre.
Les élites, quelles qu’elles soient, sont devenus égoïstes et narcissiques. L’engagement se fait sur des thèmes dans lesquels la population ne se reconnaît pas. Tels l’écologie, la société civile, Maurice île durable…
Le monde du travail est devenu un espace d’opportunités mais aussi d’esclavage.
C’est, dans ce contexte de fracture sociale et identitaire, que le populisme a le plus tendance à faire surface et à résonner positivement auprès des groupes socialement vulnérables. C’est donc sans surprise que, depuis quelques années, les discours les plus conservateurs et les plus normatifs font florès désormais.
Avec une population qui vit les défis comme un harcèlement permanent- harcèlement par l’économie, par les nouvelles technologies, par des systèmes de valeurs diffus, par une apparente perte généralisée de sens…, il était inévitable que ne triomphent les critiques les plus simplistes sur les dysfonctionnements de la société.
Cela ressort des lectures au degré zéro des anomalies mauriciennes. On n’a jamais autant été vulnérables face aux stéréotypes et dérèglements structurels. Aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, remontent les vieux fantasmes. Fantasmes qui contiennent une part de vérité. Fantasmes sur la prétendue propension de la police à faire preuve de brutalité sur les créoles. Fantasmes sur ce service public où on ne ferait de la place qu’aux hindous. Fantasmes sur la latitude accordée aux musulmans pour développer une économie parallèle et souterraine. Fantasmes…
Je ne dis pas que ces fantasmes n’ont pas de fondement. Je dis surtout que nous ne lisons pas cette société mauricienne à travers des prismes scientifiques et objectifs.
C’est dans ce brouillage délétère de sens que certains feront de leurs lectures approximatives des vérités révélées.
La société mauricienne mérite quand même mieux…

| | | alain jeannot | | | L'ecriture est un engagement et pas des moindres.L'auteur ne peut pas etre au four
L'ecriture est une facon de s'engager et pas des moindres.C'est trop facile de critiquer et qui vous dit que l'auteur n'est pas engage ailleurs que dans son metier,sans bruits ni potins?
| | | Starbright | | | It's pretty correct to emphasize that the IRS has been introduced by Paul Berenger but Ramgoolam vowed to reverse it if he should become the PM in 2005 but he didn't, he has accelerated it instead, I guess that everybody in Mauritius has heard of Tianli and Jin Fei.As far as i'm concerned, i do believe that it's about time for the oldies to step down for good and leave the place to more sophisticated youngsters to get the island back on track. | | | atma | | | who is not communal , casteist------ in this small paradise lost due to too much of politics everywhere.if Hindus are discriminated by like Hindus wiuld there not be any bias against the ticreole so to say brothers | | | conne tou | | | N. Essouf est un Monsier Conne Tou. | | | democrat | | | MoralScientist’s analysis smacks of double standards and duplicity. He blames Bérenger for having allowed a tax relief of Rs 57 millions to the ailing sugar industry in 1982 and for having introduced the IRS concept in Mauritius. But he forgets conveniently to say that Rama Sithanen abolished the whole export tax on sugar, giving a tax relief of Rs 1 billion per annum to the sugar industry. Rs 57 millions are peanuts compared to the annual billion. He reduced corporate tax from 30% to 15%, allowing another tax relief of Rs 3 billions per year to the private sector. As for the IRS projects, they have taken more momentum under the present government under the cloak of Foreign Direct Investment. All the talk about the social aspects of IRS is an absolute lie. Foreigners are grabbing the best spots on the island, making real estate a luxury for many people. | | | MBCTV | | | The real problem for Mr VAlayden is that he has been trying to make a percee' for over tewty five years now.He was not,he is not the revolutionary knight that some commentators in the press establishment have been trying to paint him has.He's no breath of fresh air.He is not a politicised politician.He will never be one!As seen from his last outbursts,he is amusing himself ,squeezzing balls of anybody who wllingly,or by invitation, allow him to do so | | | eric | | | I wonder how many comments are blocked and not printed as they do not please the publishers since they are not good stuff for their political parties. The comments of bloggers should be treated with impartiallity. | | | MoralScientist | | | Simplisme ou pas, le fait est indeniable que, en 1982/3, ZORRO n'aurait jamais du donner MRs 57 millions a ses 'cousins' alors qu'il demandait aux autres de "manz mais, manz manioc". Par la suite, il a eu l'outrecuidance de parler de "depot(s) fixe(s)". Tel Michel Aoun au Liban, il enfonce le clou encore plus dans son coffin quand il introduit le programme Integrated Resorts Scheme en obliterant toute obligation aux promoteurs d'executer des mesures compensatoires pro-sociales. Entretemps, ZORRO avait deja perdu des elections et avait retrove un siege au Parlement grace au systeme Best Loser. Sin etat d'esprit reactionaire pro-hypercapitaliste aurait du depuis longtemps pousse ses collaborateurs a ceder la direction de son parti a un militant qui refleterait mieux les aspirations de l'electorat du parti et du peuple. Le fait -- FAIT -- que ceux-ci n'ont rien fait demontre l'autoritarisme de ZORRO. Cet autoritarisme continue encore aujourd'hui. Mais la fin est proche. Les opprimes ne laisseront pas la bande a ZORRO de continuer a les opprimer pour l'eternite. | | | jimmy | | | Bon Rama a la liberte de paroles et on doit etre trop paternaliste et fiare condmner des gens pour des broutilles pareilles il faudrait etre proportionnnellle et etre tolerant.laisson Rama de cote et regardons les probnlmes en face s il y a brutalite policieres et bien reglons le probleme.je crois qui n a pas eue l experience a l aeroport de se faire toute sorte de tracasserie quand on est un peu different et on subie ce qu on appelle el delit de facies.Quelque part il faut bien defendre la nation contre les fleau telle que la drogues.Soyons constructifs et essayons de faire des proposition et ceci est le role de la presse...Allons messieurs.finalment ce qui est etonnat ce que malgre qu il sopit assez jeune Rama finit par paraitre vieux avec ces methodes d un autre age...a force de vouloir copier Paul gaetan et les autres il finit par tomber dnas l archaisme le plus totale | | | FROM:SCEPSIS. | | | From: Scepsis.
Le simplisme jubilatoire! Nous ne lisons pas cette société mauricienne à travers des prismes scientifiques et objectifs. You have hit it right on the head. Most of the big problems that we see around have root causes centred around each of the individuals in the society. Who will bring about these changes in the society? Problems exist in our society and categorized these into those that can be solved and those cannot be solved. Solving the problems would involve some kind of changes which are ultimately drivable. Now the only missing piece of the puzzle is "Who will bring about these changes that will solve the problems in our society? Most of the problems that we look to solve in our society are complex and large because of the simple fact that we are a planet of 6 billion people. Some of these changes that we are looking at are humongous at first glance, for example that of eliminating corruption, and sometimes even look impossible or highly unlikely. By one of the corollaries of the law of diminishing efforts, early contributors to a sufficiently large and lengthy task end up contributing more than later contributors. So people end up being hesitant to take up/contribute towards solving such big problems during the initial phases of such causes. This has been one of my favourite topics for debate and one for which I get people to debate with very easily. It is easy to find people who look at the size and improbability of these problems and identify them as not worth spending their time and effort on. But they do not realize that it is because of decisions like these that these tasks look improbable and huge. Also for such big problems the actual requirement of efforts might be smaller than the perceived amount of effort required. Another corollary of the law of diminishing efforts states that the amount of perceived amount of effort required decreases non linearly with an increase in the amount of actual effort put in towards such complex and large tasks. Very few people decide to take up such causes. The numbers are pathetic in the so called educated sections of the society because the amount of risk that such people have to take are very high. A person with a potential to earn millions of Rupees in income would stand to lose the opportunity to earn that money if he/she tries to pursue improbable looking objective of solving such complex problems in the society. I believe that there would have been more takers if these problems didn't look so complex in the first place, but that is not to be. Now it is not a sin or even a definable mistake or act of selfishness on these people's part to not take up causes or not give up prospective careers to work for the good of the society. I believe that everybody is, and should be, free to take up whatever career choices they wish to make in their lives. Besides the society always needs people who will work hard to earn their millions and simultaneously generate value and meet the needs of the society. Also it is plain statistics at work. For every thousand people, you only need a handful, to actively pursue such causes like solving the problems we face in our society, and statistics ensures that for every thousand there would be a few who resonate with such causes. Now here is my proposition. If we can increase this above percentage of people, then these problems would get solved faster. If we increase the efficiency of these people, these problems would get solved faster. If we increase the resources available for these people for solving these problems, these problems would get solved faster. Doesn't that sound logical? Ever since I started thinking about this I have been trying to figure out ways to get it to happen. I have been talking to everybody who I think would resonate with such causes about how it can possibly happen. What I have realized is that most people want this to happen but most of these are not willing to put in effort to make it happen. Of the very few who are willing to put in efforts even fewer are willing to take it up as a cause to live for. The consolation is that there would be a lot of supporters for such causes if and when they gather momentum and the perceived required effort drops drastically. I, for one, have decided that, I am going to invest my life for this cause. Now that I had defined the objective I wanted to find the best possible method that I should take to work towards this objective. Like I mentioned before, if we have more people, infrastructure, technology and resources, then we could achieve these objectives faster. Of these, getting the non-human aspects together is easier than getting the human aspect ready. If you have money then you can theoretically mobilize the other aspects but for people you have to inspire them and make them buy this vision. If 5 in 1000 is the number that you are looking at, then you have to reach out to 1000 people before you find your 5 people. Also you have to network heavily between these few people to be able to effectively work out strategies and move towards the objective. The tough part about the vision is that there is little or no money in pursuing it. Only those people who are bold enough to think beyond money, will be able to take it up as a career. Only those who enjoy taking huge, complex and improbable tasks would enjoy such causes. Only those who can die for a cause would achieve it. And it is such people that the society needs to work for such causes. Anybody can do that. It is all a decision and only a decision. A decision that you are going to put efforts towards the cause and that you are going to achieve it. Are you game? The world is too large and the problems too complex for a single individual or even a small group of individuals to change. But yes, small groups can magnify their efforts by tapping into the power of technology. Again like I said before, change can be driven if more and more people consciously start working towards change. QUOTE: You must be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mohandas Gandhi. For Plato, describing the ideal state was a matter of discerning and articulating the unchanging and given form of the ideal society. But Aristotle had no such view of an eternal given for society, and proceeded more pragmatically though still, he thought, with rational definitiveness.
| | | Simplet | | | L'auteur est pompeux, pedant et prenencieux un peu a mon humble avis.
Stop le blahblah et engages toi mec! | | | loulou | | | Dans le sens courant, le fantasme est une fixation mentale ou une croyance irraisonnée pouvant, dans certains cas, conduire à des actes excessifs.
| | | Secular Mauritius | | | A BAS LES PREJUGES ET LES STEREOTYPES! | | | Jacques S | | | N.Esoof reste dans une analyse tres approfondi des changement de notre Societe'. Il explique tres objectivement les moeurs et changement de valeurs qui font que les comportement contemporaines de nos institutions nous laisse delasse' et perplex. Nos Institutions doivent repondre aux citoyens doivent expliquer leur comportement doivent accepter leur tort et non pas se caher derriere leur support Plotique et Communaliste. Il est vrai que ces Institutions sont devenus les normes de tout etant L'EMPLOIE, une Force Politique de Pouvoir ainsi beaucoup s'adhere pour leur securite' tandis que L'INSTITUTION s'installe et s'emanticipe au dela de la LOi et les normes civiques qui fait SOCIETE'. | |
