Got to read 5 chapters of this plus a chapter of my other textbook and all I can think about is how I don't really want to do homework and would like to do anything else....oh well last semester and I will have my associate's degree in business administration.

This was interesting, certainly a topic that many consider taboo, but really is one of the biggest issues when it comes to the issues with our planet‘s environment (the other one being consumerism... which, of course, is amplified with a larger world population). Have to admit, though, it took a long time for me to read; it did help that a good chunk of it at the end was references

#SeptemberSenses Day 1: Smith and Armstrong touched on schooling, health, home, and migration – some of the most fundamental rights of every child. While they do show the stark (almost unjust) differences across cultures, the truth is softened a little bit ( #SoftTouch) with Smith including information about the various organizations or nongovernmental groups that serve these children.

RamsFan1963 I don't know how I feel about this quote. I think lots of kids are turned off reading because schools force them to read "classics" they feel they should read. Reading should be a pleasure not a chore to get through. Read what makes you happy. 4y
ShyBookOwl @RamsFan1963 I definitely feel some elitist vibes in this quote. What makes a book worth reading? It's so subjective. Just because it's a "classic" doesn't make it good. In fact, we benefit from reading more diversely. 4y
Lesanne Maybe it‘s today‘s politically charged environment but I interpreted this as people being able to read but not think critically about what they choose to read. Therefore many are unable to distinguish well vetted facts from misinformation. I probably got it all wrong, though! 4y
ShyBookOwl @Lesanne Interesting take! 4y
RamsFan1963 @Lesanne Interesting, I never thought of it from that angle. 4y
