Crime in T&T — Afri-centric analysis

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.
