Are all politicians liars?
Is it that they go into the game decent players,
and leave cynical and dishonest?
Or is it that they were always this way?
I am not naive when it comes to this...
I don't have faith in what they say.
I believe that the world problems happen,
because of them..
whether they did it on purpose,
or whether they had good intentions..
In the end, it is all their fault..
So, kudos.
"WAITING ON THE WORLD TO CHANGE"
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
People in our modern society have different views of the authorities (politicians/government). Some are cynical and believe that nobody in power properly reaches out to the people they serve because most politicians are caught up in a self-serving circle. Some believe that some leaders are honest and they believe and support them. Which of the two views do you most find yourself believing? Why? Why do you think that people have become so untrustworthy of people in higher power? Are there any examples throughout history? What can we do to make sure that those in power are trustworthy?
-I have always been cynical towards politics and people in power because I have no intention of believing that any of the national leaders are honest and have everyone’s best interest when they push for certain changes in society.
-Politicians, from the past have not reached the minorities when elected. They only adhere to the rights of the majority, who can manipulate the leader and result in intolerable decisions.
-I think that people, recently, especially the younger generations have become more opinionated because today we are exposed to news from all over the world confirming the uprise of human rights. If minorities are not accounted for, it is because of those leaders who discriminate in order to get voted to power.
-I think those who have been affected by the law and may have lost family members, for example, due to the extreme cases of minority rights would have the highest potential of feeling negatively towards the authorities.
-Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in Washington to a crowd of people and addressed the famous “I have a dream...” speech. This speech was remembered because its purpose was to bring justice to black people as slaves in the United States. They were under the authorities that administrated the rights to allow black people to be slaves for white people.
-The holocaust can also exemplify the ignored rights of minorities; Adolf Hitler had over 6 million Jews killed based on their religion. Adolf Hitler’s immoral leadership was recognized world wide because he was the one who let the genocide occur because he was the authorities. The Germans allowed the Jews to be sent to concentration camps, and there was nobody who tried to stop it.
-The actions of leaders ever since the world came to be have caused more evil than it has good and it would be smart to be aware of who we are listening to and who we are allowing to give us our rights.
