When Only Its Heroes and Celebrities Are Strong-A People Becomes Weak

by Edwin L. Young, PhD

    A too well entertained people become a contented, debilitated, feeble-minded people.  Over the past sixty years, America’s people have been transformed into an audience.  Audiences watch and have feeling reactions.  Some within that audience must accept the self-discipline to think.  Thinkers do not express opinions of preference like crowds being entertained.  Thinkers convey assessment of significance and perspectives based on critical analysis.  Thinkers convey thoughts that induce change.
