Where does the west begin and end in education? : Comments

By Fotis Kapetopoulos, published 13/1/2014

Too often under the guise of multi-faith values or traditional values, secularism, rationalism, individual liberty, academic enquiry and science, take second place.

Jay, you have a fixation on 'white people'.
I don't want to have a discussion on skin colour on every thread you contribute to.

In today's world, skin colour has nothing to do with anything, unless you belong to the KKK...

making money online could be a start for these poor people,
I know its not as easy as most people make out.
I have a blog that helps direct people with basic ideas of how to make a fair dollar online and how to avoid the pitfalls, like conn paid surveys, but does direct you to quality high paid survey links

its really a list of methods that may help people in need

Just watching the TV Quiz show who wants to be a millionaire, I felt sad to the core how supposedly educated people can not answer general knowledge questions yet when asked about pop music or football or sport they know. Just now a music teacher of all people did not know where silent night was composed. A barrister had no idea of the height of Ayers Rock. I can only think of one word, appalling.

I heard Christopher Pine speak on the review.
He mentioned Australia's position in Asia.

I have news for him; Australia is NOT in Asia.
Asia is on the other side of the world.
I just hope that those appointed to do this study have a better idea
of geography than their minister.

This whole distorted idea of the shape of the world can be laid at the
feet of all those schools with Mercador's projection world maps on their walls.

How many know that Beijing is closer to Berlin than it is to Darwin ?
How many know that Paris is closer to Asia than Australia is to Asia ?
How many know that Indonesia is not in Asia ?
How many know that the Phillipines are not in Asia ?

The schools have a lot to answer for in their distortion of geography.
