Having more freedom, especially evident in mainstream media and the internet, results in more awareness. People know a lot more than previous generations. We have more access to knowledge. But there is also more crap out there too; the mind-numbing meaningless trash, the excessive violence, and obviously self-righteous bullying. All in the name of "freedom"!
As a member of society, it is admirable to march for a cause that calls on freedom for an oppressed group. As a citizen of humanity we should all be outraged at the desensitization of the human race. We should be fostering emotional intelligence and not allowing these sub-cultures to undermine it. Yes laws are needed to protect the vulnerable, but it doesn't really change the psyche of an oppressor.
It's wonderful to celebrate what makes one unique, but it also means we focus so much on what makes us different from others. We don't need to agree with everyone but for the sake of humanity, could we on some basic level care about others? Can't we start focussing on what brings us together?
I think in our day we take "freedom of speech" to mean we can bloody say whatever the hell we feel like. Many in the media exercise this "right" and go out of their way to offend any group or individuals they don't like without taking responsibility for the consequences. When you misuse your freedom to bash other vulnerable groups, then it is no longer a freedom, but a tool of oppession.
Obviously their level of intelligence wasn't taken into consideration when hired for their positions. Their lack of knowledge in the area of child development is evident. But most people who go out of their way to degrade another group of people are ignorant. They refuse to educate themselves and become well-informed. Studies have shown that the most people who think of themselves as very intelligent are actually unaware of the fact that they're not. But more worrying is the lack of emotions.
Yes, I have to agree with a previous post. I think of BOOTS when I hear this. They've been using this since last Christmas for their ads. Plus I think it even sounds better than this.
