Reading my sociology textbook tonight, the chapter I was required to for the discussion questions coming up… everything I’ve argued lately were brought to light… it’s funny…

The chapter was on education and Medicare… and how in order to change and reform them it will require our culture to change. We cannot adapt to a more rigorous set of classes, for students not willing to study/too busy to, and for teachers not being paid enough/being under-qualified/those who are qualified don’t want to teach (not enough money.

As I’ve stressed a million times, we need to adapt to a more eastern way of education. Look at places like Japan, where 10 year olds know more (not to mention are expected more of) than Americans in their mid-30s!

As long as Americans think their all big and bad and can throw their weight around, with that egotistic attitude, we’re not going anywhere. By looking to other countries for so long (getting involved militarily for example, and then going through and “westernizing” them so “they are better off than before we went on the offensive”), we have crippled ourselves. Third world countries have better Medicare and sometimes a better education system than we do.

But the thing that takes it all… is we only have two political parties…

Well end rant I have to study

I won’t tag it because I”ll get banned if I do.
