Do not take this lightly. This is serious. This is most serious thing in the world.

Sometimes society (definition 2 and 3) makes me want to scream. You and I and the old woman down the block are society. We are the world. And we need to do better. We need to help others improve and so so ourselves. Do not take this lightly. This is serious. This is most serious thing in the world.

Society is the world. Without the world we could not have society. And we could have the world without society but I'm not here to talk about mass genocide. I'm here because of a documentary that did what it was supposed to do: make me think and want to enact change. The way we are programmed to think in American society is atrocious. Its like we don't even THINK anymore. We, as a society, memorize facts. Statistics, words, literature and dates of instances. Statistics mean nothing without the background of the poll or test. Dates, literature, and words mean absolutely nothing if without the knowledge of what they mean. I feel as if society takes information at face value. I feel as if they don't look deeper. Even if the information someone provides is correct and truthful YOU STILL NEED TO THINK CRITICALLY. People need to have open but critical minds. When presented with a problem, solution or information one should: hear it with a rational and calm mind, take it into consideration, break it down, analyze it, and then decide a conclusion of what it means to you, those you are close to, your community... and so on.

Lets say you are a prepubescent girl. You're wearing a light blue dress and about to go to a birthday party. You have a crush on a boy and inform your mother of this. Your mother tells you "Boys have cooties. You're too young to like boys." YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LISTEN.

Lets say you are a 16 year old girl. You're wearing a light blue dress and about to go to a party. You're dating an 18 year old and you inform your mother of this. Your mother tells you "Boys that age only want you for sex. I'm so disappointed in you. Have you had sex?! Are you.... Break up with him or you are grounded.  And no party. And change clothes you look scandalous." YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LISTEN.

My point is that parents need to accept children for who they are, provide accurate information, and help them grow up to either better society or leave it alone, but at least be happy.

I feel as if people are being brainwashed to a certain degree by each other. It is not "The Man." It is us. We are the government and we are the people. We are responsible  for the mentalities of today's youth. We are responsible for the faulty information out there corrupting lives and making the world suck more. We need to provide more information. We need to provide helpful and good information. And in my opinion Americans need to change their school system, the belief the president has all the power, the lack of calm argumentative discussions, the lack of resources to find resources to put motivation to action and frankly the electoral college. There are so many places to start. So many thing to be done. We, as a society, as the world, as humans, as individuals, need to put forth little to huge efforts. We need to change. We need to do better as a whole.

But don't let that get your hopes down. Things can get better. Just think! I mean, we used to have slavery and think bathing caused sickness. YAY FOR CONTEMPORARY AND CONTROVERSIAL THINKERS! It will be hard but we can do it. We should start by spreading information. Knowledge really is power my dears.
