Are “bumper sticker” sayings adequate for complicated issues? …. (What if the experts disagree?)
Do people have “uninformed” and “unproven” conclusions?
Is a vote by the uninformed “viable”?
Is it “impossible” to deal with “the people” rather than their governments?
How to get young people interested in anything that’s not “physical” or “personally emotional”?
On “being informed”……. (a few of the questions…)
How to speak? …. What to say? …. Speaking to the public in “general” (Is there a “public in general”?)…. Not giving the enemy your “game plan” in an effort to keep “people” informed…. What of a different “expert’s” opinion? (which “book” do you believe and why?).... The people’s constant changing of their minds…. The people’s changing of policy (war or not war…and what else?) …. What is the meaning of “values”?
You must be able to “reason” and “think”. Somewhere, somehow you must learn how to seek “alternatives”. You simply “can’t” be informed without these two things. The search for “definitions” must be a part of your understanding.
Look at the questions!.....
“Being informed” is complicated!.... Not everyone has the “access” to the material and the people. Suppose each of the authors has an “agenda”? Are you capable of knowing this?
“Being informed” is complicated!.... Not everyone has the “desire” to be informed as well as is possible.
Given the differences in “opinions”, who is to be believed? Is the opinion worth considering? Has the author of this opinion sufficiently, in your mind, given adequate proof? Can adequate proof ever be “sufficient”, in your mind? Can you just “consider” two differing opinions without drawing your own opinion? Is just “considering” a mark of progress in understanding?
“Being informed” is complicated!!.... (How else can you “consider” these questions?)
