Are you reading? Do We Understand What We Read?

Google is actually the encyclopedia of the age, I also use Yandex here, whatever you may call, the internet is the encyclopedia of the age. Be careful though, not every written information may be correct.

Do We Have a Reading Habit?

How much do we read? How many books have you read lately?

Well, instead of reading written books, there are a lot of digital book publications, we read from there, maybe even we prefer to listen to audio books. I also accept it.

We probably read the daily newspapers, maybe there are those who say no, I don't buy newspapers at home, maybe I can't buy them in Moscow naturally, instead you can say that I watch them on television every day. A lot of channels give headlines from daily newspapers in the morning. Maybe you are looking online. You might be right, read it too.

Maybe you also follow your favorite columnists online. Again, there are audio broadcasts of the columns, maybe you are following them from there.

There are many media portals, there are probably media workers and writers you follow.

There are also magazines, there are a lot of topics other than daily ones in general, I also like to sift through magazines in my spare time. I prefer printed magazines, but there is still a chance to follow them all from digital sources.

What else are you reading?

The age of encyclopedias has passed, in fact, the most reliable sources used to be encyclopedias, it contains whatever you look for. Now all of them have been uploaded to digital media. It is logical, it is necessary to add new information constantly, and it is easier to do this in the digital environment, and it is easier when revision is required. There are not only old encyclopedias, but also digital resources, for example, many of them contain very useful information.

Google is actually the encyclopedia of the age, I also use Yandex here, whatever you may call, the internet is the encyclopedia of the age. Be careful though, not every written information may be correct. You will not believe everything, you will check it from different sources no matter what the subject is, otherwise you will be easily deceived. Although sometimes this effort does not help, all the sources of a news are sometimes managed from a common place, manipulation is such a thing, technology has such problems as well as benefits in our age. It is necessary to pass it through a logical filter, first of all, we need to keep in mind that what we read may be wrong information in the corner of our mind, then there may be another news on the subject, then we can learn the truth. Sometimes the opposite happens, they try to deny a true news later through trolls. The era of post truth, perceptual reality, whoever believes in it anymore.

After all, when most of us say reading, our main action is to surf the internet, social media, twitter, there are not many people who download and read such an academic publication.

Speaking of which, Twitter is now under the control of Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world, let's see what his intention is, we will find out soon. I really wonder how much the use of followers and state people will be affected, especially in our country.

Reading and Understanding Party Programs, Contracts:

What else? What else are we reading?

For example, do we read a party program? Or the one who read the election manifesto? Do we have a post-election follow-up? Who committed what during the election period, what did he do after the election?

In fact, it is a contract, party programs, election manifestos.

I don't know if I need to explain what a contract means in trade, even in us, in construction.

If fulfilling your commitment is boring. You pay the price, and it's not like that, the employer imposes various guarantees that will make him accountable for the money he has given in the contracts with his monetary power, and you sign it, you have to sign it, because your goal is to do business and earn money, you have no other choice. If you entered the tender and won, you will sign that contract, and you will fulfill your commitment, otherwise you will go bankrupt.

So who is the employer in the country administration? The compensation for the construction tender is the elections, the winner is the contractor, that is, the contractor in the construction world, of course, we who vote are also the employers in this case. Our contract is the party program, the election manifesto.

Just as a contract cannot be signed without reading it, these documents should at least be read, verbal promises can be ignored if they are not written. We bleed and then we all pay for our mistakes.

We do not sign the gold one by one, but this does not relieve us of responsibility, we put our stamp on the ballot paper, it also replaces the signature, even if we imprinted it on a different party, we are now the employer, our main duty is to follow the contract, no new payment is made until we receive the return of the money we have paid. The contractor who does not fulfill his commitment pays the price.

In the first message he conveyed to Muhammad, he started by saying "God Almighty read". Reading is our most sacred duty.

Let's read, let's read no matter what, but as long as we understand what we read.

Love everyone, happy holidays.
