A few days ago I was talking to my to friend about how our world view shifts from time to time, how one day we can weak up feeling that we can change the world, and other days feel that what we do has not impact whatsoever. After a few hours we realized that what makes us feel in such a way is the result of our ability to being realistic and critical about things. Furthermore, we concluded that what we learned and experienced in our lives allows us to develop a particular way of thinking as well as a unique way for solving problems.
Indeed, I must say, that us we go through the different phases of life our understanding about things enhances, for instance, now that I am in college I understand that education can transform lives, but I only came to realize this until today, when I have to reflect on what I have done so far in this academic journey of mine.
This class has allowed me to understand two things: that through my English courses, I learned how to read between the lines, which now allows me to comprehend what I read in-depth, and that my social science courses have helped me to look at the big picture from a different perspective and understand how a global issue can affect us even when the issue is taking place in a place far a way from us. In fact, only when we realize the importance of these two things, we will be able to question a particular view or situation,
Today, here is where I stand, I believe media can determinate what we know about the world if we let it happen, culture and religion shape the way we see the world, more importantly, the way we look at problems. Therefore I believe that as individuals we can make a difference, that there are things that we can change right way but that will only happen when all of the above make sense in our minds, today, it makes sense to me.

I agree--point of view and attitude are everything (even the scientists would agree with this one). Once we see something in "a new light" we can never go back to the old ways. That's the good side (some would say bad) of education.
Your right some days you wake up feeling great and thinking we can change the world, but then we have those days where we don't care about anything and don't think about our actions. Education is everything and once we can understand that as individuals we can make a difference, will we then finally see a difference.
I am totally agree with you..
we will try that much harder on those down days to make them even better days and b, understand the notion of people saying read a book for a change is definitely the way to go because you can interpret the facts for themselves
