I gained my education out in this world, understanding today the world over the way people our thinking is so connected in many ways to the thinking of us, the same issues, the same but different ways of question some realities. Change will come, a new period of human history is hear already, of course it comes with a struggle.
From a Vietnam post the caption under this was what do you think this is try to say ?
Environmental concerns expressed in cartoons our very universal !
The need for education expressed very clever and the value of it !
In poor and developing countries many shops for a small amount of $ people discover the rest of the world in computer shops, they our exposed to the knowledge of today, those with open minds learn, some use it for fun, self indulgence. Millions of young just learning, they will know so much more then I did at 12-14-18 years old off a small farm in Iowa 50 years ago. The world will change, the seeds have already been planted. Remember 70% of the world of 7 billion people our under 30 years old !
What I saw and learned so many times over and over again, people our the same everywhere with the same basic dreams, desires and what is important for them so much the same as we want as a people. I was thinking sometimes its easier to look and understand other our like us then to except or understand its true in our own country also. This crazy period of Political Tribalism in the USA seems to make all so clouded, but it's not an excuse to look at each other as the other.
