What an interesting contrast.
A conversation overheard in Safeway:
"Omg, people are like, so stupid... Like, they can't even understand a simple English sentence," said a young ABC lady who was scanning our groceries.
"Yeah..." The other young white lady replied absent-mindedly.
"Like, I don't understand why won't they go take some English classes, to like, you know, better themselves. I mean, it wouldn't hurt. You know what? They should like, enforce a rule, and make every person who has below-standard English take mandatory English classes."
V.S.
This video teaches an extremely important lesson, in my opinion.
Most
people in this world are mindlessly SLEEPWALKING through life,
purposefully turning a blind eye to all the injustice happening, and
consciously trying to avoid facing the fact that they are perpetrators
of the system. They recognize fully that this system is oppressive, yet
they refuse to do anything about it, because they are the
beneificiaries of it. But they never want to admit that. They say,
"yes, it's unfair, but what can I do? It's not my fault!" and try to
evade from responsibility. They don't really want to change the system,
because changing the system would mean taking away their special
privileges, the privileges that are right now built upon the unjust
sufferings of others.
So many students graduate from universities
only with "getting a well-paid job" in mind. Are universities even what
they claim to be anymore? Or are they just another one of the many
institutions maintained in a way so that it serves to further support the
oppressive system? A pseudo beacon of light that exists only to give an
illusion of balance, so people feel better about their capitalistic
society and feel less of a need to push for change?
