Jordan's Queen Rania speaks...


Her Majesty Queen Rania of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

I was watching Her Highness Queen Rania of Jordan's YouTube video on stereotyping and how to break it down. Essentially, the stereotyping she touches on are women's rights, misconceptions on Arabs and the Muslim religion.

One of her point intrigues me. Everywhere in the world, people must have heard of unequal rights given to women in the Arab world. She is right about one thing: Is it just the Arab world or is it a world wide issue? One of her point includes 1 every 3 women in the world are abused. Not exclusively to the Arab world then?

Anyways, today's topic of the day is interaction between leaders and the lead. Some like H.H Queen Rania chooses to VideoBlog (or Vlog as it is "properly" called) and others like Dr. Mahatir of Malaysia writes his own blog.

Whatever the case, direct interaction between leaders and the lead is very important. It creates trust between them (as in H.H Queen Rania's case where individuals post a question and she responses to them personally on YouTube) or may express what the leaders feel and deem necessary for the country (as in Dr. Mahathir's case). With direct and no middle management interaction, the trust the commoners put in their leaders can progress a country, this is where both sides benefit.
