Myths Busted - Risking Your Security
The Smart Manager
|July-August 2017
In today’s high-risk environment, personal security is becoming a matter of concern for business travelers. Charles Goslin, author of Understanding Personal Security and Risk, helps decode some of the myths.

This can be quite injurious or even fatal for those who must venture out into today’s uncertain and volatile world. As we have regretfully seen, threats can strike just as effectively and suddenly in London or Manchester, as they can in Baghdad or Sana.

Proponents of Isolation Never Become Victors
Multilateralism in the political and economic space has always led to frameworks that favor the mighty. WTO was no exception. With agriculture kept out of its purview, it could never become a truly fair and free trading system. China was the only large emerging economy that exploited relative openness in low-cost manufactured goods to take full advantage of the system. Other emerging economies could at best garner minor gains.

Along with the benefits it provides, the internet also has a dark side. Today, it has become a cesspool of hatred where users openly abuse individuals or companies without any hint of shame or guilt.
