​Right now we are witnessing an authoritarian wave of trend in politics and economy all around the world. The current governments in Hungary, Poland, Turkey, Philippines provide ample empirical evidence to this statement. But the results of Brazil’s Presidential election has come of somewhat as a wake-up call for people all across the globe to take time to think about the crisis that the humankind is going to face in near future, if this ultra-rightist trend continues.
Brazil has elected an outrageously misogynistic, homophobic and someone who is devoid of any basic human values as the President of the country.

এতসব উন্নয়ন আশা জাগানিয়া। 

The fact that popular culture has been an instrumental factor in defining the behavior of consumers is often overlooked. In fact, it is a single large factor which can create a huge discrepancy in supply and demand in the market. Popular culture is generally defined as
