Kwa nini matatizo haya ya kijamii yanatokea katika mazingira haya yanayoitwa "ya kistaarabu" tunayoishi? Sababu za hili ni mbili:

So why do these social problems arise in the so-called ‘civilised’ surroundings in which we live? The reasons for this are twofold :

Mpangilio wa mfumo wa kijamii:

The organisation of the social system :

Je, umewahi kutazama vipindi vya televisheni vya watoto, kama ‘Neighbours’ na ‘Eastenders’? Au umewahi kupitia majarida ya vijana ambayo binti yako au dada yako mdogo huleta nyumbani kila wiki? Aina hii ya vyombo vya habari huwapa watoto wako mifano ya kuigwa na huweka mwelekeo wa jinsi maisha ya kila siku yanavyopaswa kuwa kweli. Mara nyingi huonyesha aina ya masuala ya kijamii yaliyotajwa hapo juu - yamejaa wapenzi wa kiume, wapenzi wa kike, wasagaji na wazinzi!.

Have you ever looked at children’s TV programmes, like ‘Neighbours’ and ‘Eastenders’? Or have you glanced at the teenage magazines your daughter or little sister brings home with her every week? This type of media provides role models for your children and sets the trend as to how everyday life should really be. They frequently portray the kind of social issues mentioned above - they are filled with boyfriends, girlfriends, lesbians and adulterers!.

Lakini muhimu zaidi, ukweli kwamba vitu hivi vinapatikana kwa uhuru kwenye mawimbi ya redio na televisheni au kwenye maduka ya magazeti ya mtaani unaakisi sera ya msingi ya serikali inayoelekea uhuru usiopimika na uasherati. Kwa mujibu wa sheria za Uingereza, ushoga, uzinifu na mahusiano ya ngono ya usiku mmoja ni halali kabisa. Je, ni ajabu kwamba vijana wengi wanafuata nyayo hizo hizo?

But more importantly, the fact that these are freely available on the airwaves or in your local newsagents reflects an underlying government policy that tends towards liberalism and licentiousness. According to British law, homosexuality, adultery and one night sexual relationships are perfectly legal. Is it any wonder that so many youngsters follow in the same footsteps?

Kutowajibika kwa wazazi:

Lack of parental responsibility :

Bila shaka, hatuwezi kuilaumu jamii peke yake kwa kasoro za kizazi cha vijana waliopotea. Wazazi nao wanastahili lawama kwa kiwango sawa.

Of course, you cannot blame only society for the shortcomings of a generation of wayward youth. The parents are just as much to blame.

Baada ya yote, ikiwa wazazi wenyewe wanapata maadili yao kutoka mazingira yale yale, unatarajia watawafundisha nini watoto wao?

After all, if the parents themselves take their values from the same environment, what do you expect they will teach to their children?

Kimsingi, masuala yote mawili yanatokana na chanzo kimoja, yaani mtazamo wa uhuru. Chini ya kisingizio cha 'uhuru', watu wanatumikishwa na matamanio na matakwa yao wenyewe. Wanasiasa hutunga sheria za kutawala juu yenu kwa msingi wa mapendeleo yao wenyewe. Kwa kuwa wajumbe wengi wa baraza la mawaziri ni wazinzi wanaojikiri wenyewe, je, unajiamini kiasi gani kwamba jinsi wanavyoendesha mambo yenu na kujenga jamii inayowazunguka ninyi itafaa kwa mwanao au binti yako kukua ndani yake?

Fundamentally, both of these issues arise from the same source, that is, the mentality of freedom. Under the guise of ‘freedom’ people are subjugated to their own whims and desires. The politicians legislate laws to govern over you on the basis of their own preferences. With so many members of the cabinet being self-confessed adulterers, how confident do you feel that the way they run your affairs and build the society around you will be suitable for your son or daughter to grow up in?

Pia, kwa uhuru huja ukosefu wa uwajibikaji. Ikiwa mzazi anaamini kweli katika uhuru, ni nini kinachomzuia kuwadhulumu au kuwapuuza watoto wake? Jibu ni kwamba kidogo sana.

As well, with freedom comes lack of responsibility. If a parent really believes in freedom, what stops him or her from abusing or neglecting their children? The answer is, very little.

Jambo baya zaidi ni kwamba mchakato mzima unafanya kazi pande zote mbili. Mtoto atatenda kulingana na maadili na mawazo aliyolelewa nayo. Hivyo, mara nyingi zaidi, watoto wa Magharibi huwadharau na kuwakaidi wazazi wao. Na ubinafsi uleule unaowasukuma kufanya hivi ndio sababu unaweza kujikuta umekwama katika nyumba ya wazee wakati ndio unahitaji msaada wao...

What is worse, is that the whole process works both ways. A child will act according to the values and ideas he has been brought up with. Thus, more often than not, children of the West disrespect and disobey their parents. And the same selfish mentality that motivates them to do this, is the reason why you might find yourself stuck in an old people’s home just when you need their support...
