One of the things made apparent by social media, is that not everyone receives the same quality of education. Our education systems are failing society at large, by not giving every member of society the same education.
Education is one of the elements that actually has a big impact on how society as a whole can advance, and build a better future for humanity as whole. Yet, it seems that if you don't have enough money, the education that have access to doesn't give the individual the tools needed to be able to adapt to the changing world or make the best of the opportunities presented by life.
This is specially evident when critical thinking comes into play, or there is a need to process new information. There is a large segment of people who aren't capable to deal with changes in well, alright refusing to make any change no matter how beneficial it is to them.
There are people whose education is not giving them the tools needed to be able to make the most, and benefit, from change by being able to adapt to it. Not to mention when having to face people who have different views, or experiences, and learn from them.
Lacking the ability to be able to do so, is generating a lot of us versus them situations that shouldn't even exist. It creates false dichotomies needlessly, making it far to difficult to reach solutions or compromises.
Sadly, there are cases where fixing the education systems can be done. Yet, what is impeding it is the lack of will to fix them. Our education systems need to change.
