Development work

I have been playing with the theme of 'turning a blind eye' and being led astray as a comment on how people can be deceived or horrible truths can be hidden by a government or by the restriction of unbiased media.

I was also really struck by a quote i read in the paper over the weekend commenting on poverty - "A fish rots from the head down, never from the tail up". I thought this was a really powerful way to explain why privilege and poverty persists in countries like India and Africa since there is not good political governance to ensure that aid is distributed fairly and properly and that those in need at the bottom of the chain are considered.
