Journal 15


Due to lack of time, this journal will be a small one.

When trying to create a plan for revitalizing a failed institution, it is paramount that you find the one thing that is stable in every instance. I believe that that one stability is education. That is why I think that one of the single most important means of revitalizing a country after a revolution is to first establish control of education. Putting education at the forefront of progress is the same as creating a base upon which a country's future can stand. Academies of learning serve many purposes. One of which is setting the country onto a path of knowledge that can shed light on past mistakes. To butcher a saying, if one does not learn from the past they are doomed to repeat its failures. What this does is to, not only educate but, create a pool of individuals with the right information to succeed. Without a body of intellectual citizens working together for the sole purpose of its countries success, it doesn’t really matter how much focus is placed upon alternative energy or transportation or agriculture. The ideas that are generated by such a group of people is non-existent and as such, the existing pool becomes stagnant and will cease to be life producing.
