I think that this will be called the age of Stupidity. During the late 20th century and continuing today, people that graduate from high school or college are more ignorant than their predecessors. They graduate from high school and can’t read or cipher, they graduate college and can’t write a coherent paragraph. They learn greed and callousness and ignore arts and language. I remember wondering why I had to learn to read and write poetry, study state, federal, and world history and do many other “artistic” things. I intended to be and engineer, not a poet. Now in my final year, I understand.
People are not machines to be used then thrown away and the world is not a science experiment to be used and exploited. Now the arts make sense but it’s too late for younger people. They have been educationally abused and may never recover.
