It's impressive that many people out there don't have a clear background of many subjects not because they aren't smart or intelligent enough, but because their understanding of many basic concepts is lacking or there are several misunderstandings about what is happening.
To make matters worse, people are not willing to take a look on what's going and how things happen. Most are contempt with having a shallow view of what happens around them, and the consequences of events can have on theirs lives. They seem to be happy, or just be contempt, to accept whatever media or other outlets tell them is going to happen.
Consequences are not thought, so when they arrive the surprise that comes with them can be quite a shock. Some even feel offended because no one told them about them, even when just having thought their actions before hand could have prevented any harm.
Not only that, they don't stop to think what they should do. They just do as they are to do at all times, it doesn't seem to matter what they personally think or feel about anything. It seems that many have become a sort of automated machine that can be told what to do, and how to do it.
We need to educate people to think for themselves, and to seek information relevant to their needs before making any decision. Also, they should be able to take the responsibility for those decisions, to accept the consequences and to learn from them. In essence, there is a dire need for free thinkers.
If not, we could end up having a disparate society. Where the top members can manipulate rest of society, just because they don't question why they have to think or act a certain way.Any freedom will be traded to become sheep.
