People seem to rant and rave but offer no Solution to the problem, why is that?Why do people rant and rave about the problems of our country but offer no solutions? This is a question?
The causes are many and interrelated.
Many people do not have the education to effect changes in their own existence let alone in society in general, so feel powerless and ineffectual in the face of what appear to be major forces at work around them.
They are conditioned by society, via the media, to feel that they 'deserve' certain inalienable rights, such as a large television, the right to walk around at night without molestation in the cities, four weeks paid holidays a year, good food, health care and respect for their views no matter how different from the mainstream.
They feel that if they are not getting what is 'their right' then someone somewhere is denying them deliberately and this is part of some conspiracy against the lower paid or working class.
Other people just get on with their lives, being honest hardworking and taking pleasure in what they have and do and the people in their lives.
This second class of people may be wealthy or poor, it's a state of mind, not bank balance. The whingers may be wealthy as well but due to internal problems sublimate their personal shortcomings onto society as a whole. They believe that 'if only - kids were more respectful, the government tackled law and order, taxes were lower, schools were better, etc, etc,' they would be 'happy'.
It's all people, it's all in their heads, it's just life.
Why do people rant and rave about the problems of our country but offer no solutions? This is a question?
most people are ranting about problems without offering solutions because they are scared right now as they watch the news and look at national level problems reported in the worst possible light to create high ratings for the networks. high single digit unemployment rates could be reported as over 90 percent are still working. also most people fail to realize that they can be more effective if they leave the big issues and government solutions alone. and fix one thing for themselves or someone locally, if more people took on a small Challenge and handled it it would add up to big solutions when the results are viewed nationally
Nobody has taught them how to make a difference. Most people have never heard of a precinct committeeman, and if they have, they have no idea they can become one.
People are indoctrinated (by schools, in my opinion) that voting every 2 years is enough. Civic participation is dead, simply because nobody knows how to do it.
We are no longer a government by, of, and for the people. -_-
They don't study philosophies and the history of their application; so they don't have any idea what to do. They just know they don't like what's happening.
Sadly Jefferson's warning was accurate. We brought in heavy industry and hordes of people, dependent on a wage and conditioned to taking direction, followed. He said those were not capable of governing themselves.
So, here we are.
It's just freedom of expression and of speech. There are some people that don't quite have the means or tools on how to reach their government officials, therefore they have no other choice but to rant and rave. And offering a solution..well..do you have any? if so then i'm on board with you.
Because they don't know any better. Few people actually know whats going on. Its not because they are stupid or anything but more of lazy or just plain uninterested. Most people just watch a bit of TV every morning and think that they know something about politics. Very few people actually bother to take the time out of their day to look up whats going on.
