Fourth post - 3 Reasons

            There are many reasons why my point of view is very important but these stick out the most to me. My first reason is that we students are the future and if we don’t have passion or the capability to think critically, there would be no big advancements or change in the future. The future would look very much the same, which isn’t the best and the future could in theory repeat the past and many mistakes that have been already made will also be repeated.  The future needs change, I know that there are a lot of people in the world that don’t like change, but change is what the world really needs if you’re paying attention to what is happening around the world at this very moment.

            My second reason needs to be that here in the United States, we elect our leaders, and if we are not able to think critically we will make the wrong choices and elect horrible leaders into office.  And if we cannot think critically about those that we elect into office, those that want to be elected into office can abuse that weakness to their liking.  If we don’t want corrupt people elected in office, we need be passionate about taking time to think critically about them.

            The third reason is that a world without critical thinkers or passionate people would be a dull world.  Where would we be without passionate critical thinkers?  There would not be people like Elon Musk, who designed a 800 mile per hour hyperloop, or Nikola Tesla, who designed alternating current (also known as AC, the power our wall outlets use).  The world would have no innovation and we would be, in theory, still be living in the stone age.
