RE: The Desperation for Change and the Desire to Happen 'NOW'

in #philosophy7 years ago

Great post, upvoted and resteemed. I agree with what you said. An example to prove your point can be seen through the issue of racism. Racism is a paramount issue in contemporary society. There has been little to no progress since the 1940’s in America, that is, African Americans are still subject to discrimination in housing and labour markets etc. The ethical dilemma worsened under the Obama administration and there is a black lives matter movement despite Obama’s promise to bring change and progress. I’m a fan of David Icke and according to Icke, there will be no progress until we get rid of this political class. I personally don’t believe freedom is synonymous with democracy. Democracy sounds good in theory but I’m questioning whether it is working well in reality. I believe part of the solution is for everyone to show more love in the altruistic sense of the word. I believe, like Icke, that love is imperative in developing the enlightenment project of equality, freedom and reason. Education is also key in alleviating many problems such as racism and will help bring change.
