Yesterday, I mentioned religion as a potential catalyst for
sustainable change. What I did not mention though was a means of implementation.
It is easy to say that something is not being implemented it is another to
suggest a plan of action. Religions usually have a religious center or a
spiritual leader. This center or individual will typically have much sway in a
given area. These individuals or centers are usually very community based, and
as such they are less susceptible to greed. By aiding these individuals, as opposed
to a community leader (usually a temporary position) or someone in a more temporal
position (someone who has attained a certain level of respect and demands
further acknowledgement accordingly), the overwhelmingly re-occurring issue of
corruption may be stemmed before it becomes an issue. Additionally, by
financing these institutions, a more collaborative effort may be put into cooperation
between communities and businesses. This is due, in part, to the overlapping
roles of individuals in both community and business sectors.
While not comprehensive, it is at least a beginning.
