Is this the price for not educating our people?
More than 25 years ago, I moved to US. I was shocked to see the number of uneducated people around. In my culture, you are middle class if you are educated. In US, education had nothing to do with your social standing. As a result, the richer you were, the less cultured you seemed. I mean look at Trump!!!
I left US after 8 years.. back to Europe and Cental Asia and Middle East. There is an old saying that to travel is to live. No one I knew in US ever really travelled. And if they did, they never saw anything but a hotel and a pool.
Anyway, I wonder sometimes if the lack of curiosity and hunger for learning has put the globe in this situation now. US’s policies are effecting everyone, especially Middle East. In the old days it was ok, because you still had a moral code to follow. Now the construction of a hotel determines who are allies and who are foes. Business in Saudi for Trump, gives us war with Iran. Business with Netanyahu, moves embassy to Jerusalem... business with Putin, gives us fanatic Christians running the county, protecting unborn zygots, while killing living ones at the boarder, in Yemen, in hospitals in Iran..
America. Please educate your children. Make education free like so many other countries. Teach them history and empathy, science and collaboration. With the amount of money you spend on weapons, you put the globe in danger with every uneducated child you send into the world.
