Monday Musings

I don't mean to get political on this Monday morning but this article from Rolling Stone is too good not to pass along. The purpose of this blog and my writing isn't to disguise a hippie agenda or push my ideals on anyone at all - I just thought this article offers up some unique information and gives you different perspectives to think about. What I found particularly interesting was how the author defines "change" in America:

"They plant their flag in an uncompromising position, and wait for the world to come around – which, quite often, it eventually does. This is because in a media environment based on the ideology of "balance," in which anything one of the parties insists upon must be given equal weight to whatever the other party says back, the party that plants its ideological flag further from the center makes the center move. And that is how America changes. You set the stage for future changes by shifting the rhetoric of the present."

As a future teacher, I would take this into my classroom...
