Hello. And welcome\u2026 And most importantly, congratulations! You might be asking yourself how you found this treasure and what can possibly be inside. Answer: just another college millennial ranting to his heart\u2019s content on the governmental and social forces which affect his life directly (as if there aren\u2019t enough of us around).<\/p>\n

I really didn\u2019t begin to care about society or politics until some completely arbitrary awakening during my sophomore year of high school. No joke, I really just woke up one day and thought it would be a good idea to become interested in politics. So I did. Throughout my remaining years in high school, I began to focus a lot more on political theory when I went through my history courses. I even bought and read books which developed these theories, I built a genuine interest. And I figured out early on that I was more attracted to a leftist way of thinking (who would\u2019ve guessed?). Kind of radical too. No, not like the USSR or some other single-party totalitarian dictatorship. I was more influenced by Marx and Engels, or Noam Chomsky, or Voltaire, or even Jesuit missionaries in the Colonial Era. It\u2019s just what makes the most sense to me. I like to assume that entropy affects any and every system, so I believe that redistribution and equality is inevitable. I also believe that individuals and their societies are valued in relation to each other, so a society is valued based off of how well it treats its individuals, and an individual is valued based off of how they progress their society.<\/p>\n

Obviously I\u2019m not some revolutionary leftist philosopher who plans to spread his profound lessons through a grass root effect starting with this tiny blog. I\u2019m just a middle-class college student with an interest and internet. But with these items, I want to share my perspective and give insight on society and its effects on education (focusing on economic and racial inequality).<\/p>\n

Education is without a doubt the most important investment for a society. It (should) put all students on equal ground and give them the power they need to progress and lead society. It\u2019s a win-win situation. Sadly, I can\u2019t say that this ideal societal educational system is the one I find myself in, and many professionals would come to agree with me. So, I\u2019ll give my two cents with what I and many others see as flawed and un-egalitarian.<\/p>\n

My ultimate intention is, again, to just simply rant and spill raw thoughts. At the same time, I want my insights to almost serve as a collective call to action for my like-minded brothers and sisters. We should open our eyes and take control of the situation and slowly build toward reform. Or should I say\u2026 we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.<\/p>\n
