Parachute journalism is the practice of placing journalists into an area to report on a story in which the reporter has little knowledge or experience (source). A reporter visits a foreign area for a few days, collects information that tells the story using the slant the reporter intends, and then leaves without spending enough time or effort to gather other material that may temper or even contradict his premise (source).
paternalism
Paternalism limits a person's or group's autonomy 'for their own good', often by removing any agency from those it supposedly seeks to help. It is derived from the Latin word ‘pater’, meaning ‘father’, and in the context of development it can often inform the way that governments, international organizations and even NGOs treat historically marginalized groups such as poor communities, minorities, indigenous peoples and even entire continents in the global south.

powerful passport
There is no passport like a passport. Some passports allow their holders to travel to almost every country in the world without a prior visa, while some of them restrict you from entering the vast majority of countries without spending time and money to obtain visas. More powerful passport, more countries you can visit visa-free. And vice versa. If you are curious about how powerful is your passport, look at The Henley Passport Index. It is a global ranking of countries according to the travel freedom for their citizens. The site provides a ranking of the 199 passports of the world according to the number of countries their holders can travel to visa-free. The number of countries that a specific passport can access becomes its visa-free 'score'.
