Biggest Marketing Challenge of this Course Yet: Well, perhaps. Let's see.When we found marketers talking about 'building strategies and platforms to drive communities' etc. etc., we're reminded of our own communities, of which we've very fade ideas, or facts - curiously. And our book talks about social marketing as well. The 'challenge' for the brilliants minds, as Moazzam would happily call, of Mkting 280:
"In Iraq recently over 500,000 people have died; there’s not even a discussion. It’s not even on the screen. Nobody even talks about it."* So how do we make everybody talk about? Bring it on the screen? Make a cry? All for the sake of 'humanity' (if it exists) and the worth of human life (surely it exists), if not creating value!!! (Philosophical explanation: "That’s one of the very, very important results when this inviolability is based not on a philosophical, religious or metaphysical certitude, but on either simple political expediency or sentimentality.")Who would like to earn a CP? For heaven's sake...

i think i would talk about this topic on facebook or twitter!we have seen that there are numerous groups on facebook that have been made to support causes and if this topic is brought up on these sites, it might make a difference.
Dude....... this is so awesome......ly difficult to understand
Friend,
for the start of welfare action, I think :charity begins at home".
We group friends on this blog firstly together start a campaign in our college and university by making college students realize and understand whats going on not only in Iraq but other Muslim countries including Yemen and others too.
After successful campaign and understanding with our college and university students (every individual must spread at home and friends also) then there must be a proper strike launch against Israel and its relatives out at a proper place. Make sure, its visible on all TV channels and media.
Besides, college campaign this blog and Internet media (Twitter, Facebook etc as already commented) can also help for the campaign to be successful. But that`s not enough...!
Pls check and revert.
Not only Iraq, but the role which economic hitmen played in destabilizing different countries was never mentioned in the western media. All the blame used to be heaped on "rogue" countries like Iran. Now, when books have been written about such dark side of the developed countries, people are becoming aware of how the western media is distorting the perceptions of people.
Sorry guys, I's out on a tour to a textile factory in Multan to understand managerial accounting, would blog about it, god willing.
@ Anas Nouman,
There are somethings in the world that are above marketing. However, make marketing serve this "cause" to make the world question what is happening with people of Iraq from the "greater happiness of a greater number" that are being ruthlessly killed.
@ Haider,
Ask those who understand.
@ Syeda Amna Moudoodi ,
That sounds promising and proactive. Thanks for illuminating us.
@ Syed Hassan Raza,
But these books are not well read by a wider range of auidience, and folks like me who are quite ignorant of the 'realities' of world sometimes tend to view such revealing books as mere conspiracy theories. According to a report by RAND organization on introducing a civil democratic version of Islam that best suits the policies and interest of American regime and values they must sell the books on Islamic modernism at 'subsidized rate'. So the question is of wider distribution. Subsidizing can be an option.
@ Mohsin Ali,
That's it. Time to take action.
