personal education

January 31, 2008 wordsinpr

 There has been a huge decline in personal education. The drive to educate one’s self on the issues surrounding them. People seem to be blissfully unaware of the issues that plague our planet as a whole and even the small issues in their community.

 One of the most important things that we all take for granted are the resources available to us to educate ourselves. I am not talking about going to a formal school, rather just the ability to question things. We must question things. Not everything that is told in the media is absolute truth or unbiased.  Be passionate about something, research it for yourself. It is amazing the things that you will find out.

Just care. There are so many things going on in this world that matter and are well beyond celebrity gossip. People are fighting diseases that we have cures for, starving while we throw out our leftovers, not being able to access education while we skip our classes. Educate yourself on things that do matter. Form an opinion. This world has no more room for indifference.

    I remember a lot of kids in high school who had formed very strong opinions on topics and these people frustrated me. It’s one thing to pay attention to the world and let your opinions form as you become more well-versed on topics, but it is an entirely different thing to take one side of an issue and defend it to steadfastly despite changes around the world.

    I agree with everything that you are saying. It completly frustrates me when many people my age have no idea what is going on in the world. How can we be active and participating citizens of the world without really know what is going on. I know that I don’t know everything, but at least I have some base knowledge that allows me to be apart of the “real” world.
