They are ignorant because they don’t know important information. This is another problem of a small group of people controlling a larger
It is important to raise awareness for the people in other countries so they an opportunity to
The ignorant people in the society do not seek anything meaningful in their lives, which results in emptiness within their heart. Suppression of truth or knowledge makes life empty and when life is hollow and empty there is no point in living.
When ignorant people are educated they become aware of what is happening around them. One example of trying to educate an ignorant person is when Montag is trying to explain to Mildred what he saw at the burning house. Montag says, “There must be something in books, things we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house…” (Bradbury 48). Unfortunately, in this situation Mildred does not take the knowledge that she has just been handed.
Many people do not realize how important it is to take into consideration the situation of others; a life changing decision could take place within seconds. Apathy is defined by the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary as the lack of feeling or emotion, lack of interest or concern. In today’s society, if something does not pertain to an individual they will not pay it any attention. Many crimes and deaths have gone unreported or have been unsolved because of the apathy that people do not have for one another. “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police,” “Who Killed Benny Paret,” and “On Dumpster Diving” are all great examples of apathy.
In chapter 12 when Calpurnia was stopped for bringing white children into the church, suggesting that there is equal ignorance and racism from blacks to white as there is whites to blacks. Rather they are only stopped by one women making me assume the other blacks in town are more civilized and non-racist towards the whites and choose to conform to their norm. Since Lula is the only one to stand against the white children entering their church this suggest that she is ignorant and rude toward the Finches, since it was her way of getting revenge for all the racism that she had received by other
Rounding a corner or walking into a restaurant, everyone that is seen has skeletons in their closets. Now, keep in mind that not everyone’s are as big as the person sitting next to them but what if, instead of covering up what society wants to keep hidden, it uncovers secrets to help bring awareness to what occurs in life? Although society will mask a blind eye, the truth will have to be exposed by them in order for society to start taking action. Being forgetful and being oblivious are two very different things. Being forgetful means forgetting what was being thought about but, being oblivious means not having any knowledge about a certain something.
Albert Einstein once said,“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” This quote shows the importance of human nature because most of the topics I researched all started by someone noticing something out of the ordinary and making it something it is not. Humans do not like change so when something happens that they are not use to, they do not know how to react. Some view it as stupidity, but to the person it is their only way to react.
It may not be as severe but many governments still keep people from knowledge like the government in Fahrenheit
Little or lack of education is a primary negative to the industrial revolution. An example is “C: what are your hours of labor in the mills? B: From 5 in the morning till 9 at night, when they were thronged” (Document 9). This is an example of a child at work at 5am till 9pm instead of being at school. This is bad because young kids need an education at least 12 years.
Knowledge, as the saying goes, is power. It is power over yourself, your environment, and the ability to improve everything, even to the world. However, in recent events, people have been starting to value mental security and not being offended over freedom of speech? In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”. But imagine a world where this is full-blown the case?
Ultimately, the efforts of resisting indifference has not been enough to gain awareness that it is a
“All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure” (Mark Twain). Powaqqatsi is a movie directed by Godfrey Reggio which demonstrates the change from the ignorant, old and traditional ways to the knowledgeable, newer and industrial lives in Third World countries. The movie, despite the absence of words, characters, or plotlines, shows the changes that occur when traditional ways are pushed aside for a “better” industrialized life and people are forced to conform to these new ways. These Third World countries were influenced by western culture to change so that they could keep up with the rest of the world. Watching this movie may remind one of a certain light-hearted comedy show by Chuck Lorre, The Big Bang Theory.
Ignorance is bliss. Often people hide behind what they wish to believe. The truth demands discomfort and people prefer comfort to truth.(Compound) In this world of conditioning, the Controllers keep any kind of truth from the people. Regardless, very few actually attempt to discover the truth.
Raising awareness is an important thing to do; it helps people with no previous understanding of important issues to suddenly become aware of them, allowing for more educated decision making.
