“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”
- Aristotle
In recent events, the USA has been through some philosophical changes. Such as how the government sees the LGBT community and how Dukes of Hazards is really racist. This quotes seems the most relevant to me about the general education of the United States of America. Seriously, can’t we understand that everyone see the world in its own unique way? Even when you talk to people of the same faith, I would guarantee that most of those people can’t explain their faith the same way or even understand God in the same way.
Aristotle, a personal hero of mine, was the father of many of the disciplines that now inherit the human population. In fact, without his teaching and ideas, i doubt that we would have discovered most of the advances that we have now; including education.
Saying this, I believe that the USA, as a whole, has the most privileges, with least amount of education. American’s can only “feel” without logical thought or argument. Specially, the older generation who is “used” to the old ways of living (Most of them). America is about freedom, but only to those who are privileged to have it. SERIOUSLY, you don’t see the other side of this coin?
I believe that any person should be able to have an argument, with serious understanding of the other side, without knowing that, how can you even get into a logical battle?
I guess what I am asking is, before you fight, before you make a “Dumb” statement. Think about what you are saying.. And save the rest of from reading in on Facebook a hundred times over.
