Reading response 2-Communal After-Living: Asian Ghosts and the City

This article explores the portrayal of ghosts in Asian urban settings and how they reflect the social and cultural consequences of rapid urbanization and inequitable development. The author also critiques the role of popular culture and environmental concerns in shaping perceptions of urbanization and globalization. The article advocates for a multidisciplinary approach to studying these processes’ socioeconomic and environmental impacts in Asian societies. The article offers a compelling analysis of the links between ghosts and urban phenomena in Asia.

However, the article could provide more detailed solutions to address the disparities and challenges caused by rapid urbanization and uneven development, such as those experienced in Bangkok and other cities in Thailand.

From my perspective, governments should recognize the importance of maintaining relatively equal development, as inequalities can lead to faster migration from poorer to wealthier areas and impose stress on people who struggle to make a living. Governments can establish and enforce policies and laws that protect the rights of residents, the environment, and social justice, ensuring sustainability and fairness in urbanization and globalization.

To promote sustainable development and avoid a vulnerable economy, governments and communities can advocate for sustainable urban planning and development that includes the construction of green and environmentally-friendly infrastructure, efficient resource utilization, and reducing pollution and carbon emissions.

While the article provides an insightful analysis of the connections between ghosts and societal phenomena in Asian cities, the government may set policies and focus on sustainable development to become better.
