In conclusion:

  • LACK of; IMPROPER; TOO MUCH; TOO MANY inconsistencies; WEAK; WASTE; POOR; LOW; INADEQUATE; LOSS and HIGH COSTS (all) denotes a debased society; debasement of Jamaica. This is a lack of better-quality standards.
  • Debasement by definition will always be a status synonymous with deprivation, corruption, depreciation, and degradation.
  • Debasement is the departure, deviation, inconsistency, or non-conformance from a greater or higher quality specification.
We should take full notice!
  • How do you adjust for wasted time? The condition of debasement can be rapidly corrected (with greater Quality Scope) (greater standards) by addressing improvements (in all sectors at once) (simultaneous & continuously) using the 21st-century science in Total Quality Management (TQM).
