Education

Why is education so important? Education broadens your mind and thoughts to a higher level. I love learning new things because the more the merrier! "The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not," stated from Mr. James Baldwin. In the essay "A talk to Teachers", Mr.Baldwin stated that a man is a social animal that cannot exist without society. At first, I was confused as to what he was trying to say until I was able to comprehend what he meant. From Mr.Baldwin statement, my assumption was education or knowledge determines our future and with that being said a person must share their knowledge because no man is promised to live forever. It's better to educate others of the unknown rather then hindering them from reality and the truth.

Should we go to war with Syria ?

No, we shouldn't go to war with Syria! It's unreasonable and inconsiderate. Why does America tries to be hero's for everyone? We the country, can not afford another war. We're struggling as it is. We should handle our problems first and tend to others last. I understand that people and other countries look up to America, but we as a country can not face any hardships at the moment. I'm not saying I don't care about what's going on in Syria, but my main priority is America. The rants and problems in Syria are devastating, but is it really our problem? Should mothers,fathers, children, family, and friends worry about whether or not seeing their loved ones again? Is it fair to them and their loved ones? How will we know whether they've appreciated what we did or if they expected us to help? This is my opinion, you can disagree if you'll liked but my mind is made up. Ask yoursrdelf, can America really afford a war at this time? We're not perfect ourselves, so why does everyone depends on America about life or death situations? America shouldn't go to war with Syria because we can not afford it nor can we take chances!
