About Me
I am a young adult who is tired of seeing biased information running our lives. We need more objective analysis on issues that are very relevant to our daily lives. We need more acceptance of many ways of thinking. We need a way for people to express themselves and voice their ideas that are not just founded on the logic of “because I said so.” We also need ways to build our critical thinking skills so we can overcome these barriers. I went to public school until grade eleven. In the next school year, I completed grades eleven and twelve by educating myself from resources online, in books, and using my own critical thinking skills. I completed grade twelve early that year and began my first year of university in a Bachelor of Arts program online. I disliked it as much as I disliked the public school system, but I learned a lot during those first few months… most of which was taught to me by myself.
What I found insanely high amounts of in my education for that little taste of university life was bias. Every one of my courses had blatant biases in it, and I wanted to point them out to the professors but I did not want to be labeled as the argumentative one. But I am over that fear. I have always wanted to be a writer, but everyone told me I needed to either go to school and be told what to do or get a “real job.” Well, they were both wrong. I am delving into the practice of independent journalism, editing, and maybe some activism eventually. Stay tuned!
In my blog, I will be sharing the things I have learned in the last two years and things I have realized in a more recent timespan, and will continue to do so long after I am no longer a young adult. But I won’t just be spitting out information the way it was taught to me. I am going to be looking critically at every issue individually, pointing out the success stories and the failures, and coming up with some possible alternative actions that we can do to create the best outcome for everyone while limiting the negative consequences like never before. So, buckle up, because I have a lot of random things I am going to be writing about that are sure to be relevant to your life in ways you never thought of.
Get ready for a regular shove into critical thinking and a wonderful push into the worlds of politics, economics, and social issues in a way you have never seen before. This is exactly what you did not know you needed. It is exactly what you’re going to crave after I get you hooked.
