Swastika

Swastika
The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti "meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.
The swastika was a well known & commonly used symbol but was called by many different names:
China - wan
England - fylfot
Germany - Hakenkreuz
Greece - tetraskelion and gammadion
India – swastika
Though it is not known Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.
There is some confusion as to whether the clockwise (from the centre) angled swastika,


, or the counter clockwise angled variation, , is the sign with the most positive meaning.

A right-facing swastika may be described as "clockwise"......or "counter-clockwise".


But since the Nazis use of the swastika on August 7, 1920, some people are trying to differentiate the two meanings of the swastika by varying its direction. Nazi version of the swastika, which is clockwise, mean hate and death. Counter-clockwise version would hold the ancient meaning of the symbol, life, love and good-luck.

2The hindu swastika was copied and used as an official emblem of the Nazi Party, a use sometimes continued by modern Neo-Nazis.

In the western part of the world, It is claimed that Mexico, Central America consider "The Swastika" a charm to drive away evil and bring good luck, long life and prosperity to the possessor.


The Swastika" is the oldest cross and emblem in the world. It forms a combination of four "L's" standing for Luck, Light, Love and Life. It has been found in ancient Rome, excavations in Grecian cities, on Buddhist idols. http://www.luckymojo.com/swastika.html
In the eastern part of the world, Chinese would be used swastika as an alternative symbol of the sun. In Japan, swastika is used to mark the location of a Buddhist temple. In Japan it also may have been a sign for the magnificent number 10,000.

Wag the Dog


The movie ‘Wag the Dog’ is basically a Hollywood comedy one. But with some serious lessons about the worldwide running political manipulation of mass media and the activity of that very few political leading people to maintain their supremacy at any cost. It is vary much related with the concept of social construction of reality.

Let’s focus on the story of the film. A very few days before US Precedent Election, the Man in power and the most demanding candidate had been accused with a scandal of sexual harassment of an underage girl. It has got really a very tough job for the followers to keep the public on the side. At this situation Winifred Ames (Anne Heche), one of the topmost official aided by the precedent, appointed Conard Bream (Robert De Niro) to get rid of that crucial problem at any cost. Conard thought that if he wants to make the people forget about those particular hot issues then you have to divert the mass attention to some other very new occurrence with the theme, “Change the story, change the lead.” For that very reason he decided to produce a war. A war against terrorism in Albania. But why Albania, why not any other country. Conard has solved this issue like that, as most of the American people knows a very little or nothing about Albania, it will be easy to make the American people believe the story of terrorist in Albania or that very war. For that purpose Conard went to Stanely Motss (Dustin Hoffman), a famous Hollywood Movie producer to help in that evil plan. Their joint activities successfully gave birth of a war against Albania, but very soon CIA agents neutralized their issue and they made a story of a war hero to keep the public attention out of that silly matter at any cost. They were a pretty successful on that issue. But in a moment when Motss (Dustin Hoffman), that crazy producer, claimed for his credit for his work, a bit revolted against the people in power, he was been demolished by the troop.

The film was really very funny in making and a good creation of the team with magnificent work by the role player. It contained a hidden truth of our real world of politics. From my own point of view in the film the tail resembles the supreme political power that hold the power to do whatever needed to make their entity safe and the dog resembles the media which influences the mass. If we look around we will see the same picture all around the world. The people in power can manipulate the whole media world, as we the people trust the so called media facts or truths. The limited smart people have the ability to make us do or believe or do in the way they want. In fact our sense of reality is vastly influenced by our society. Socially constructed means the process of institutionalization the individuals and society-knowledge and peoples concepts of belief. And to motivate the people to change their social, traditional thought. So the film is vary much related with the social construction of reality.
