How often has it been that our minds are clouded by the injustice and biasness of the world. As soon as a person is born in any urbanised life, his enveloped by a cloud of deception that covers truths and all other pathways to wisdom due to the illusionary decisions of the leaders of the world. How is everyone presented equally? So much for the "politically incorrect" terms and words that are trying to be rooted out in great America.
Digressing now... Think about it, i personally have nothing against America or Americans but i'm just evaluating them from a 3rd person point of view. I'm not being racist or an American basher or anything, its just the plain truth. America is without a doubt one of the most advanced nation discounting Japan, Germany, Korea and perhaps one or two more countries. America is in fact the centre of modern human culture. Think about it, which other country/nation holds as much sway as America in politics, resource, being a busy body and cultural issues. If we talk about education, about perhaps science, many technologies may not have originated from America but they have assimilated most of them. Furthermore, most of the education is based on what America has found. Of course this is so because of their political and military power to give them to edge on demanding and getting new technologies. How many countries out there are willing to say "no" to giving a machine for the American scientist to reverse engineer. There is no need to enter the topic of humanities, as soon as you enter there, there are terms that are sexist, racist, i don know what -ist. I could go on but its really no point complaining about all of these.
I wonder, how much in the interest of fairness is education being taught fairly?
Take the education of biology for example. The topic of evolution. How many people actually believe in it? I would bet a huge number of people do believe in it. This is because every recognised school is teaching about the theory of evolution, speaking with such emphasis despite the theory having quite a few loopholes. This is blasphemy for many religions which i must add are a driving force in every country. Religion's teachings are being ignored due to the lack of fairness. I know there are so many different religions, who is to decide which is the correct one and its obviously offensive to teach a different religious teaching to someone. But this is what i'm getting at. The major religions : Christianity, Muslims, Buddhist (taoist etc also included), Catholics, Hindus etc have permeated society in many countries. All of them without a doubt teaches about creation, though some of them have creation being taught differently, its still a fact that at the end of the day that it is still creation. Yes, there are many points of difference between all of these religions but they have at least that one common point, creation. So why isn't creation being taught? Its not even being mentioned in textbooks or as a possibility.
It is a statistic that America is 90% Christians (according to PM Lee in one of his speeches) and 80% of Americans do take religion seriously. That means a majority of citizens in America do in fact include religion in part of their daily lives. The idea of creation is totally discounted because it cannot be proven which in comparison, the Big Bang theory cannot be proven but is one of the more well taught subjects on the formation of the Earth.
I'm not driving at the point that America is boo hoo bad, but that many theories, cultures and beliefs are ignored and disappearing because of the ignorance displayed by the leaders of the nations. How do we expect to preserve traditions, culture and stories when no one wants to practice it out of disbelief?
