Our Responsibility

Posted posted by julie @ 12:38 PM

No matter how hard we try, how eloquently we write, or how articulate we speak, does anyone hear our message?

Whether we feel our government is corrupt or that our journalists are inadequate at their jobs or that we are merely ordinary people who cannot make a difference in our world, we must stop with the trying to find a scapegoat. We all see problems, and we all want solutions; but instead of finding those solutions which at times seem impossible to discover, we stop searching for answers and start looking for someone to blame for our problems.

Before we can fully see and understand the solution to any problem, we must first realize how all of us are at fault. We can no longer blame one person or group because responsibility is held by every individual.

The government must seek to find solutions but at the same time have open ears and minds to its public.
Journalists must inform the public as well help to voice opinions and concerns of the public to the government.
Activists of every kind must help to distribute its knowledge to the community as they are in a sense experts and specialists of their causes and organizations.
Citizens must empower themselves by seeking information. We may not have some kind of paper credential that ads an MD or PHD onto our names, but we each have ideas that we can share.

We must not feel powerless or helpless to our struggles because we have a voice that can and will be heard.
