Hi!!
After reading the article I think that nowadays there are many countries that live with “special” ideologies and culture, that in many cases are ancient or outdated, like in this case.
In our example, I think that these ideas (or way of thinking) are totally fortuneless and they should rectify, because If you teach or create wrong ideas to the new generations, they’ll think like this (or maybe worse).
We all know many examples in history (and even nowadays) in which the government and TVs try to convince and persuade about a set of ideas that are wrong, and in many cases related to racism, religion, apartheid, etc. A great amount of these promote conflicts among the people and differences between them.
Bye!! ;-D
