What is Tunnel Vision?
If someone has tunnel vision, it means your world view is limited. You cannot see all points of view or the big picture. You are limited to what you know or see right in front of you.
We always talk about staying ALERT and talk about other peoples problems; but do we ever pause and have a look around the area we are living in or do we continue?
We become so focused on the bad stories and incidents happening in Madang, that we get tunnel vision and start to ignore what is going on around us, especially in our own backyards.
The aim of this security and safety focus is to look around our communities for any threats or persons involved in harming others and report them to the Police or anonymously to MSW before it can become a risk or problem to us and somebody else.
As your focus narrows, you start to miss things. Those “missed things” are like lost puzzle pieces, leaving holes in your understanding of what is happening.
Too much focus is focussed on pointing fingers at the Provincial Police Commissioner, Minister for Police and Members of Parliament and not enough promotion of what we doing in our communities or as individuals to help fight Law and Order Problems in Madang.
A good example is seen at Ward 5 area where children and youths were given white paint to cover graffiti on the fences at DWU, Maritime College and Madang Technical College. It is perceived that our newly appointed Ward councillors are at work in the background.
