A world I dare to imagine would have no violence, homeless people on the cold streets, children distanced from education and opportunities, individuals of all genders oppressed, corruption, hatred, angry, and negative energy. There are two ways this world I dare to imagine is possible: (1) everyone is brain-washed, removing all abilities to judge and hate one another or (2) individuals are no able to see color. The contrast and availability of options creates emotions such as judgements, envy, hatred, and violence. If one were not able to see color, he or she would not be able to differentiate between different races. Most of the tensions existing in the world derive from what we seen different in one another; if we limit the differences, many of the things wrong would be eliminated.
Another way to better the existing world is to brain-wash individuals. Now, I know this idea sounds crazy but most of the existing problems in the world seem to stem from the way people think. One's personal bias and mentality has been a major contributor towards the racial problems that currently exist in the world. If people stop judging one another, the world would be a better place.
The world I dare to imagine is a happy place with happy people, and happy people are made from happy emotions.
Hey Krishna, your post was really interesting and a fun thing to read! How would we go about brain washing everyone? That is a really interesting concept to think about! But i definitely agree, the world would be a better place without violence, anger, and many other negative things.
ReplyDeleteReading this post reminded me of a GE course I took called Cultural Anthropology. We learned about different cultures and how they all behave in their certain geographical areas. The whole lesson of the class was how we are all the same, all human beings. I think that it is just human nature for people to judge others and yes brainwashing everyone would probably fix this problem.
ReplyDeleteWow, interesting post. There's so much to be said about all the things you've mentioned. I guess I'm just as curious at Joe, and what he said in his comment. How would we go about brain washing people? I guess we can say the media is already brain washing us, so if they were to feed us more positive information, that could be a way of brain washing!
