Discourses and Ideas Worth Spreading
A vital issue with established discourse is that it marginalizes details. Such may be the nature of the human mind that does not only does it dislike randomness but absolutely adores a story. This means that disjointed facts is only going to stick in memory if they form a part of a story, having a beginning as well as an end. Whether that story actually fits the random nature from the events sequenced in the thoughts are another issue altogether.
Some iPod listeners swear their devices understand their mood, or that their song repositories favour some tracks over others. Neither, of course, holds true -- iPods may be many things, but they're not telepathic, and the shuffle function utilizes a true random number generator that treats all tracks equally. Nevertheless, these stories persist for the mind ignores happy tunes much more a poor mood and vice versa. Songs that resonate stick in your mind more than others. Narrative is made, even when it's blatantly untrue or incomplete.
Such is the nature of our knowledge of the planet, regardless that lots of of us purport to be global citizens. Darfur calls in your thoughts images of hunger and strife. Cuba may be the land of embargoes, cigars and communism. Latin America is known for the ubiquity of salsa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bachata and merengue, while Brazil particularly is the land of cheap shoes and drug cartels. Pakistan is really a frontline state in the war against terror. The Palestinian narrative is a fraught with exile, war,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], illegal settlements, civilian killings and the siege of Gaza. India may be the world's largest democracy, and it has a surfeit of IT experts, accountants and curries.
Each one of these narratives are woefully incomplete. A bare 15 months back, I distributed, through social media, a relevant video clip of Pakistani teenagers at a rave,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], enjoying avant-garde techno tunes imported from abroad. The action was assailed by many as giving an excessive amount of importance as to the was essentially a relevant video of spoiled brats with too much money. They were putatively not deserving of any attention. My response: I had been attempting to begin a discourse option to myopic mainstream options. No matter government policy and foreign interests, the country and its sprawling urban centres house hoards habitually expressing themselves via a diversity of mannerisms. Collectives of people always beget culture and self-expression that is conveniently ignored by popular discourse when it does not fit the mold we would like it to.
Take Dubai's example. During my meanderings abroad, I've realised this means lots of things to lots of people who have never been residents. It's either a brilliant holiday destination with great weather -- pointing to the success of DTCM's numerous campaigns, a place that's a tribute to ambition, a town where dreams can be created in a week and chasing the leprechaun does indeed mean an easy pot of gold, an ephemeral landscape destined to a reality check (cue numerous Ozymandias clichés that must have P B Shelley rolling around in the grave) or a place benefitting from competitively priced labour not offered sufficient safeguards. The truth is all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet none.
Fortunately, individuals are upgrading home plate to challenge the simplicity of such discourses all over the world. For example, there's TEDx Ramallah. It's an event inspired by, and held according to, the format from the renowned TED (technology, entertainment, design) annual conferences attended by the crème de le crème of thinkers, activists and opinion makers. The newest obsessed with Oxford recently. TEDx Ramallah the very first such conference to be locked in so what can effectively be referred to as occupied territory. Its organisers are determined to not allow Palestine's current geo-political situation define its people. The conference will broadcast alternative stories of humanity, culture, creativity and brilliance which have little if any bearing to the common stereotypes of war,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], death or resistance. Essentially, it reminds us the Palestinians are people and not only tragic cause. Its beauty comes from the exploration of complex stories, not just the ones our minds condense for the convenience.
It is a lesson worth remembering. Cities and countries are described through residents' narratives of creation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], understanding and interaction. Many of the people working towards narrating Palestine's complex tales without resorting to the simplifications of war and exile are Dubai residents. Dubai, using its pluralistic, multicultural society,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is recognising its complexity as well as helping others realise theirs. Our city has long been a trade hub,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and all sorts of indicators show it will long be. The only difference is the fact that we are now also trading in inspiration, and concepts worth spreading.

Indeed, it is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the ones also need to be familiar with how the language that has been inculcated on the discourse shapes the perceptions and course of that discourse.
South Ossetia is really a 'breakaway state',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but exactly how often do you hear that same term put on Israel?
A persons rights and economic difficulties of Venezuela receive plenty of press attention, but the worse human rights and economic difficulties of Colombia and Honduras receive almost none.
By these techniques, what can be said easily, and what has to be proceded by long explanations and justifications is decided, moving the middle of the discourse as a result.
