That there are several standards for reporting financial statements and even though an international standard exists it is not followed by many countries.

Those standards leave room for interpretation making them act as guidelines instead of rules.

Slave trade existed in Africa before the Europeans came.

Some people in my class still think I'm unbearably weird.

I still have many questions of existential nature which haven't been answered satisfactorily.
@MasterofNone ifrs is the standard right

Unbearably weird, they are the ones who are weird and stupid

What are those existential questions

@SimplyLogicalDiscipline yes it is the international standard. Learnt that today too. Not someone with a background in finance lol.

Thanks :)

I think it's better to classify them as bordering on existential and societal.

Everyone aspires to have lots of time for themselves. Traditionally the solution was to save for retirement. Now people do blogging and vlogging and all sorts of things to earn money and leisure time. But society doesn't allow it. What model of society will allow it ? How will society run if everybody starts blogging ?

If we change the society to suit our passion for leisure will not the older generation feel it was unfair for them. Won't they get jealous ? But it's because of them that we inherited a world with more open mindedness.

What are the role of academicians and philosophers in the society ? Why do we need theories ?

Why create a model of society when every society ends ? Why is there a need for progress if everything will crumble down ? But if you don't make progress are you just going to sit idle ?

Why is there a need to answer these questions? Isn't it like trying to swim before you dive ?

Society is nothing but a bunch of people, people who have lot of extra time to interfere in others life.

Older generation will not get jealous because they have the maturity to understand that it was different for their parents and it will be different for their kids or Grand children.

To do knowledge transfer,so that we don't reinvent the wheel.

Progress is required to satisfy human mind, to keep you occupied and physically and mentally healthy.

Why is there a need to answer these questions? Isn't it like trying to swim before you dive ?
It's not trying to swim before we dive, it's learning to swim before we dive into a deep ocean.
