The truth be told: As a direct result of the Euro-centric decision made in 2001, today (2012) the "chickens (have finally) come home to roost" in Trinidad and Tobago, period.
The subliminal Americanisation of life in Trinidad and Tobago is overtly reflected in the proclivity for crass materialism, "instant gratification", "50 Cent" philosophy, disgusting ghetto attire, slangs, body antics and mannerisms of young people, gang turf warfare, just to cite a few.

Indeed, judging the daily attire of young, mature and older Trinbagonians one can correctly conclude that just maybe Trinidad and Tobago has been re-assigned. albeit re-located, from the tropical (hot) zone to the temperate (cold) zone.

The truth be told: The failed Euro-centric education system in Trinidad and Tobago compels young people to gravitate and mimic only the most self-destructive aspects of American ghetto life styles.
In the final analysis, this writer offers the following Afri-centric solutions to deal with crime — (i) radical surgery on the current dependency Euro-centric education system (ii) re-introduction of corporal punishment in schools so that young people will respect/obey adult authority/discipline and (iii) immediate deletion of the BET and BET J channels on Trinidad and Tobago's daily television schedule.
