The local and the Global

Problems(challenges, in the corporate language) are often classified as personal problems and the group problems, a group here can be an organization, a nation, the world etc..
Some personal problems(local here) can be extended to the problems which are beyond the group problems and some don't even form a part of a thousandth . Generally the differences between the two go unnoticed!! Problems in hindsight gives people either a sense of achievement, or a gives them lessons for the present and also the future...
Global problems, with a lot of parameters, people and with a lot at stake(failures and success easily noticed) generally remain global; problems are easily solved when it percolates to the 'person'(call them people!!). A global problem can(should) become a personal problem and results either with the problem getting solved or creates more complex problems... Understanding becomes an issue when the personal problem of only a few, who might be right or wrong. But then again what the majority says or what ideas they share need not be right, but who can question them? Here majority might be in terms of the number or by the position.

Localization is reality and Globalization a myth but the magnitude of the problems remain the same!!
