Ignorance is a problem that appeared a long time ago in society, although many people think it is a recent problem. However, if we study carefully ancient mythology we can see how ignorance is a problem that has been with us for a long time. In the story of the man who killed the sphinx, Oedipus or Swollen-foot, we can prove the ignorance committed. “Ignorant of his parentage, had already become the slayer of his father; in marrying the queen he became the husband of his mother.” Though this could have been an accident, still it shows of how people become to lazy or too carless to study or learn. If we continue like this we would probably end like in the movie, idiocracy were it shows that an average human being is the world smartest man. If we keep the laziness, we are going to end with a life that has no future and society will end in catastrophe. Where are we going? End of society can be one of the answers to the questions if we keep going with ignorance.
This is not a problem that is not being taken care of each time the Colombian government is doing something to improve the education of the homeless. Education is becoming cheaper for those who cannot afford it, and they are banning children from begging in the streets. It is being taken care of here in Colombia; but what about the rest of the world, in countries such as Africa, what are they doing for education? The world needs people willing to change and help, to learn and teach, to read or write, people that care.
What are you doing about it? What is anyone doing about educating the mind? It is time to change the world by trying the best we can.
