“Was Cambodia able to build the world’s largest religious temple, if that era was today”

Lay Vicheka (2005)

“Unless willingness is the initial persuasion of law-making, law’s goal will never achieve”

Lay Vicheka (2005)

The matters of fact, followed by the matter of law are two of the daily heated discussion of Cambodia’s social havoc. Protracted disputes over land, political, economic and social issues, etc have become, I think, the daily images painted on the Cambodian public media. So how is this country going to solve these conflicts? What mechanisms to be used for the conflict-resolutions? What are the causes of these conflicts? The following statements tempt to answer to above questions. For an easier procedure and understanding, I would consign my argument and elucidation into Cambodian perspectives and context. I would rather say from the very beginning that my writing is totally opinioned-based; data, political and legal analysis are not involved at all.

Law Is Mostly Used in Handicapped Mechanism

From the very outset, I would begin by looking into Cambodia’s incurring negative events published in the public press. Everyday, we see the social, political, economical drawbacks appeared on the public press, so the law-related persons or entities do analysis, basing on legal ground. As the result, problems are arisen the committers are illegal or lawless, messing public orders and legal measures must be taken to obstruct these conductivities from future occurrences. We see that this is the perspective that “law is a mechanism to create problem (for better tomorrow)”. But law doesn’t mean to be deployed in just one side like this. Law must be deployed in twofold; a mechanism to create problem(s) and to solve the problem(s).

However, is law totally deployed as a measure to solve the conflict? Most or maybe all of the Cambodian people and international opinions would say no to this question. As we can clearly see through the public press, conflicts haven’t been fully resolve through legal path, since bribery, corruption, collusion, political relation, etc. These are some of the factors, that most of the Cambodian public and foreign analysts view that conflicts haven’t totally been resolved though the legal path.

Legal path, I refer to here, must be “general” and “absolute”. General: Cambodian law must equally apply to every Cambodian national. For instance: if law states, “everyone must drive 55kms per hour”. This means that everyone; adults, government members, members of parliament, senators, private company staff, diplomat…etc must driver 55kms per hour and any breaching of this rule would result in bad consequence. Absolute: there would be no exception for anybody. If law states that this person must be killed, there is nothing can obstruct the law; though is person is the senior official, millionaire or philosopher. Absolutism also refers to that law has no choice, there is only one way out. For easier to understand, let me bring a practical example: in the market you have the choice between the products, whether you want to buy or not to buy the product, but law is different you have only one choice; follow it. Until the two of my imposed characteristics of law; general and absolute, are ubiquitously applied, then I believe that law in Cambodia is not used in just one way anymore.

Dim Legal Perspectives In Cambodian Context

Because it is not a mechanism to solve the conflict, we see that law has a very dim light in Cambodian state of affairs. Most of the Cambodian people and international opinions have very little or no confidence at all with Cambodian legal officials, systems and enforcement. This is, I think, the major problem that law is thought as not a good subject for future job prospect for a huge number of students. Because a huge number of students see law as “not money-oriented”, Cambodia is losing a sector that creates employment diversity, specifically jobs related to law.

Since people don’t really trust legal perspective in Cambodia, we see that lawyers are employed very little in the family, companies, factories and other state and business entities.

Conclusion

It is very hard, I believe, to touch the Cambodian legal ground and make my argument efficient in such a piece of paper. But since, I am not the professional ego-issue monitor and analyst, I would rather condense my expression to what are my daily encounters. And I still courageously claim that, Cambodian law is not adequately deployed; just a mechanism to create the conflict. I just want to remind that law must also be deployed as the mechanism to solve the conflict. The result of handicapped usage of law, as we can see, countless turbulences are perpetually stirring; land issues, violent rape, domestic violence, paramount traffic accidents, and increasingly legal downturn and economic downward spiral.

The most vital essence of law, I think, is “justice”, but this justice would have more prospects to be gained, until law becomes day-to-day operation, and not just a piece of paper that any can buy or not to buy.

There’s an old saying, “It takes money to make money.” While this is still true in many respects, on the internet, it is possible to start and grow an online business using free resources.

You don’t even need a computer! In many parts of the world, it is possible to get free computer access at a public library or other facility. However, it is also possible to become involved in some systems that can be promoted entirely offline by word-of-mouth, and signing up could be done at one of the free computers I mentioned or be done by a friend.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to imply that it is easier or faster to completely use free resources; I am just making the point that it is possible to create an internet business with little or no money.

How do I know this?

Other than the purchase of the computer itself, I never bought my first domain name until I had been online for a couple of years and was making several hundred dollars a month from my internet business. All of my websites were hosted on free hosting services, and all my “advertising” was done through free classified ads, traffic exchanges, and by linking.

However, despite all of this, and a magnificent case of ignorance, I eventually DID begin making hundreds of dollars a month. I then used THAT income to get my own domain name, in fact many domain names today, and to purchase effective advertising. But, as you can see, it is possible to start without any money at all.

In fact, I would recommend starting for free even if you have the money to invest, just to learn the ropes. I can’t begin to tell you how much money I have lost on things that didn’t work, and how much I paid to get the internet marketing education I now have. On the other hand, if I had to start all over today, knowing the things I know now, I would borrow the money if I had to, buy domain names, hire website designers, and pay for advertising. But you want to know how to do it for free.

So, how would someone go about creating an internet business using only free resources?

Before I begin listing some points, please understand that this is just one way in which an online business can begin. Due to all the variables involved, what topic you pick, how much time you can devote to it, and so on, there is no way to guarantee that this will work for you. However, it is a method that HAS worked for others, and it is a place to start.

1. Decide what your business is going to be about. Two points here. Pick something you already know something about and hopefully enjoy, and then refine it to a smaller area of specialty. Instead of “outdoors”, think “hiking”. Instead of hiking, think “hiking boots”. If you know what you are talking about and enjoy the subject, it will be easier to talk to people (online or in person) and transmit your message of enjoyment to them. Also, building a business takes time. If you are concentrating on “money” and the money doesn’t show up right away, you will lose interest. If you love hiking and are enjoying putting up your website about hiking, talking to people about hiking, and checking into new hiking products, you will remain interested in your business through the build up/learning period when no money is coming in.

2. Find a company to host your site for free. Shop around and compare services. At this point, since you hardly know anything, you might want a web hosting service that provides some sort of site builder where you fill in blank areas and the service creates the page. Later, when you know more and get your own domain name or names, maybe you will know a bit more about website design and will be able to do it yourself. For now, however, you need all the help you can get.

3. Sign up as an affiliate with companies that sell products related to your interest. For example, you can become an affiliate of REI or Backcountry, through Commission Junction. These two companies sell hiking boots and other outdoors goods. You could also offer goods or services indirectly related to your site. Staying with the hiking boot scenario, you might offer physical training courses or even vacation packages for hikers.

4. Create your site. Rest assured, your first attempt will not be your best, nor will your 87th probably. That’s okay. It’s all a learning experience. What to put on you site? Not sales stuff. Not info about how great these boots are. Tell your visitors how to pick a boot. Explain how to care for their boots. Teach them about hiking safety or how to find a campsite for the night. Tell them where they can find weather reports and a list of hiking trails. In among the real, genuine content, sprinkle a few (got it…FEW?) links to your products. If you don’t know what to say, visit some sites that say it well and then say it in your own words.

5. Go to Selfpromotion.com. You will need to promote your site to search engines and directories anyway. You can do that for free and in depth at SelfPromotion.com. However, if you look around the site, you will find a treasure trove of information about such silly subjects as search engine optimization. So pick up a free education while you’re there. The webmaster over there accepts donations, and, now that he has helped me get my internet business off the ground for free, he gets liberal donations from me every year.

6. Go to Blogger.com and start a blog on hiking. Put links to your website on the blog and in the comments. Make at least a couple of posts to the blog each week. Every day might be even better. If you don’t know enough or write well enough or have enough time to write your own stuff, go to EzineArticles.com and get some free articles to use in your blog.

7. Join forums related to hiking, or your subject. You can usually put a link to your webpage in the signature that appears with your posts. Concentrate on making sensible, helpful posts and participating in rational discussions.

8. Build a webpage about hiking gear, another about hiking trails, another about cooking outdoors. Link all of these to your first site and then go back to http://selfpromotion.com and submit each of these new pages to the search engines.

I’m not going to put a number on this one, but, when you can afford it, purchase a course on network marketing. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Go to ClickBank.com and you can find some for under $20. Holly Mann puts out a decent course for $19.95 at this time. It won’t teach you everything, but it will teach you. Dylan Loh also sells a course through ClickBank which outlines how to do a lot of the things mentioned in this article. You can get a very good course from the Internet Marketing Center for over $200. It’s worth it, but probably contains more than you need at this time.

Eventually, of course, the hope is that you will begin to see some light with your internet business, and you will be able to move up. Then you can get your own domain name, pay for some decent web hosting, get a well-designed site, and buy some effective advertising. When you are making enough money to pay for all that AND buy tickets at the movies without raising your eyebrows, you’ll know you’ve made it.

Buying a motorhome can be an exciting adventure, and as pleasurable or stressful as you want to make it. There are a lot of things to consider when buying a motorhome, and at times it can seem overwhelming. But if you go about it in a logical way and use the tips provided here you should be able to find the one that fits you and your needs best.

Of course, emotion will subtly creep in and try to take over your decision making process, but do your best to keep it at bay as much as possible. That doesn’t mean that you don’t want to even consider how attractive the coach is, because after all you will be living in it at least part of the time. But try to stick to doing your homework and keep some sense of practicality mixed in as well. Here are some tips to be able to find and select the right motorhome for you:

* Before making a large ticket purchase as important as a motorhome, you will need to get up-to-date information, and lots of it. You need to know what coaches are out there and familiarize yourself with their reputation and what they have to offer. One way to accomplish this is to start reading RV magazines as thoroughly as you can. If you can get your hands on back issues that go back for a year or so, that’s even better. Your goal is to bring your knowledge up to date with the progress of the industry.

* There is no substitute for actually physically inspecting and investigating the latest motorhome offerings. So RV shows are an invaluable source of information where you can walk through coaches from different manufacturers and get a feel for what appeals to you and what doesn’t. Usually there are RV shows taking place in a given area almost all the time, so just look online to find them and then plan ahead to attend. Even if you have to drive quite a distance, it’s really worth it to get more comfortable with the whole motorhome shopping process. One warning though. Be sure not to let the RV sales people at these shows get you all excited and tempt you to jump in and buy a motorhome before you have completed your research and are well-informed. It’s their job to make sales, but at this point it’s your job to just say no.

* There are some great industry buyers guides available and the top two that come to mind are Trailer Life and Woodall’s. Both of these companies also put out campground guides too, but every year they also publish a listing of the major RV brands and list the various floor plans and options available on each model. It’s a great way to learn about each major brand of manufacturer and have an idea of what models they produce that you wish to look into further.

There are other ways to help be fully prepared to make a wise motorhome buying decision, so make sure to read about them in Part 2 of this article.
