newspaper and media has few aims.. education in one of them,
another is also profit.
profit requires sensationalise news, or information that attracts
human attention and requires lot of emotions
however education and profit making do not go hand in hand.
sensationalising news is bias, cause people to have inaccurate
percpetions........
therefore, we readers has to be critical reader... otherwise you
just be ignorant smart alec kid who go around talking, arguing as
if your belief system is right......
to be logical understanding of things has to be learnt and for a
long period of time
our education system do teaches maths, english, history and science
which are useful. however, our students are not learning te
significance of these subjects and learning how to relate what
their have learn to life itself. their logic skills ares till very
poor in life.
this is detrimental to well being of the intelligence of a person
and will affect other aspects of life leading to more unhappiness,
violent outbreak occasionally and arguments...
singapore society is mainly churning intellects from university and
polytechnic who has specialized skills in various areas.
however, our capacility is underutilized because we learn too
little about life and potential is pathetically underused. we are
only capable of doing what our career roles requires us to do, to
earn a living and spend our salary our material well beings and
leisure activities....
anything outside these few things, we have very superficial
knowledge cos we seldom learn. even if people go for upgrading
lesson... it is usually to do with job learning.....
look here. life is about life... its not only about working and
passion for your job till death..... if you thinking about job
largely most of your time, then you have miss out a important thing
in your life, which is your life....
