Relationship between power & knowledge

‘Enemy of the State’ is a fantastic and amusing movie for the people who face the present tough situation occurs all over the world. It delivers a sense of brilliant knowledge with creativity which is unknown today. Power depends on knowledge but knowledge is the key for proper use of power. According to Foucault’s theory, it mention that “knowledge is power” so power is maintained by knowledge.

The movie starts with the scene of a murder of a Congressman. The scene of the murder unconsciously peeked up by a nature photographer. And then one after the events committed around the hero (Will Smith) and his surface. The situation was very strict to do any thing with freely, because the national security committee watches everything, listened every word of speech and recorded it, in United States.

If you have power but has not suitable ways and knowledge to proper use that makes later six and seven situation. Technological power, arm power and military power makes a country powerful. But if the country had not knowledge to use appropriate manner, it will be ruined or destroyed one day. Japan was not powerful rather than other relative countries but they had knowledge, and they knew to utilize the knowledge in excellent ways what was good all over the world, now knowledge made it powerful country in the world.

Without knowledge the power will be mistreatment. Proper knowledge makes a man or a nation powerful. Malaysia is now well known trade and industrious country in the world, it was only made for knowledge of a man, and he was Mahathir Mohammad. His knowledge made the current situation of Malaysia. So we can freely say that, knowledge is power, only power gives not original satisfaction, power depends on knowledge but knowledge is not, if we have good knowledge the power must come certainly.

General people always watch the TV news and programs for absorbing current situation of the world or elite class persons who lead their country and absorb/taken those very seriously and believe as a serious manner of the matter, if it’s right or wrong that’s not serious matter to them.

According to the movie, only two weeks remain to commit the election the U.S president accused of sex scandal, which was fully rumor to suppress the present president, the rumor expanded by opposite political leader.

The current president took some steps to hide his scandal; he started to make some surprising news with a Hollywood’s skilled director but not famous.

5 Bangladeshi Urban Myths

Myth is very popular in the human beings through urban and rural. Though the myths are illogical, it’s a matter of great regret that myths exist on a mass scale in our country yet. Rural areas are most affected by that curse rather than urban. The myths spread like as nuclear, man to man, and one after another, as inheritance.

In the below there have mentioned five common urban myths in our country-

a) When a man/women combs his/her hair, in that time, if that the comb comes down in the floor from his/her hand, it will be believed that someone (guest) is coming to his/her home in that day or very soon.

b) In the period of going out side from the home, if someone stumbles with a weeping broom, that event will be believed that the person’s journey will not be fine or comfortable, as he expected.

c) A person is going outside from home, then if his clothes held in the door’s side, it’s also mentioning that bad/evil something is going to happen to him in his way.

d) When an owl howls with a long time at night very near from homes, it messages the dweller, something is going to happen bad in that night, and they feel fear and alert whole the night.

e) If a man has a spot/mole on his feet. The man will go abroad for doing job and he will be rich very soon by earning a lot of money.

All the myths are spreading man to man without base.
