Social Deathly Pitfalls That Must
Be Addressed NOW! By Nick Ashton
Founder, CEO, Tracometry
No
matter how many times you see, hear and read the news, you become isolated, if
not removed from the reality of society.
Murder, mayhem and maniacs are an abnormal section of society. Humans are uncontrollable, unpredictable in
some respects and appear in violent headlines on a daily basis. It will never cease if we do nothing.
You can
never stop a maniac… Security is only
part of what we have in place; it is never 100% as a protection and never will
be. Killing by sadistic individuals is a
worldwide problem and we cannot enter their minds in time to at least warn or
stop the eventualities. Alternatively,
are there signs that we ignore, tending not to want to accept the situation. “None
of our business”, “not my place, to report this”, someone else will report it”, these are words and statements that
flow through our minds, more times than you want or wish to know.
In our
neighborhoods, workplace and in social settings, we are seeing and interacting
with problematic individuals as they mesh into our local society and seem to become
invisible. Only because we do not want
to be seen to point out the problems with these folks, nothing is being done. It is after the fact of a major incident,
that you pull from the back of your mental hard drive, the occurrences,
situations and events that now are more real than ever and you start the “blame game” of “I should have done more”, the “told
someone syndrome” kicks in.
Communities
are so physically close to each other that information passes by in the blink
of an eye or, the individual just hides behind closed doors to not want to deal
with the world itself. It is a culture
change that is required and needs to return to the days of telling our children
more about life from our past perspectives.
Casual violence is surrounding us; our system is socially broken from a
communications point of view. Systemic
violence is beyond the realms sensibility.
Dysfunction
is rife among us all! Intervention is necessary and signs of concerns are
evident to others, who are silenced by social stigma. We are self-absorbed in our own futures and
have a underlying plans for us and ignore everything around us.
Evil is not
an illness, it is a symptom that culture is drifting in and out of. Can we stop these incidents in their
tracks? Yes, but not in all cases, this
is not a perfect world of “stop and go”, it is involvement and communications
of concerns to the right people that will make the difference. We must speak with people we trust to know
what to do and not feel you are being judged as a “nark”, “malicious super
grass” or just a “noisy neighbor”. Doing
nothing and holding the information back that can make a difference, must stop,
it is of the utmost importance and must change to the positive.
Having
worked in changing communities, analyzing crime, criminals, and tracking the
actions brought us the ability to predict events. Changing our mindsets is a priority in
society and incidents of violence highlight the needs and requirements of
communities.
The Pied Piper Project (P3) gets to the core of the community
problems. Information on crime, drug
dealings, gang infestation, bullying, domestic violence, housing issues, both
tenant and property owner, animal control and community policing, working
toward harmony, makes the difference, not just by words, but with positive, “boots on the ground” actions. We have proved it repeatedly in weeks, not
long arduous months or years that this works.
It is the recognizing of the problems and using the existing laws, codes
and polices already on the books that are used to address the situations. It is the deep concern to make change and
maintain the accomplished results.
Imparting trust and respect into neighborhoods and communities is the key. Individuals, communities must build a strong
relationship with law enforcement, public safety, code enforcement, including housing
and animal control. It is bringing back
the Trust
Factor and building a Comfort Zone that creates a firm
bond with all. It is not “them and us”!
Are you
okay with this? Are you recognizing that
we cannot continue in the downward spiral of death and destruction of our
society boundaries? You can make it stop
and you need to concentrate on those around you, finding out more of their
problems, which, if you ignore, will affect you in one way or another.
Do not delay in making changes, no matter
how unpleasant they maybe, it may save your families lives…
WE are in the NOW and
KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…
