I should have had written this blog last week but due to excessive workloads, I failed. But thankfully, in the midst of my reflection, it hurriedly rushed (kinda redundant) into by conscious mind.
I was reminded of our conversation. My friend and I debated on the Political issues of our country that led to the Economy, then corruption, and finally, to the masses. We debated on his being a communist and mine, being an elitist (According to him). I dunno, I was deceived of the misconception about elites. I thought they're like capitalists, evil in nature. Well, to dumb of me coz when I have searched for it in the dictionary, it says:
Elitism is a belief or attitude that an elite— a selected group of persons whose personal abilities, specialized training or other attributes place them at the top of any field (see below)— are the people whose views on a matter are to be taken most seriously, or who are alone fit to govern. Thus elitism sees an elite as occupying a special position of authority or privilege in a group, set apart from the majority of people who do not match up with their abilities or attributes. Thus this selected elite is treated with favoritism. Members of an inherited elite are aristocrats.
A highly intellectual person?! WooOoow. Still, I can hardly believe that. They could be bad. Like everybody.
WE ended up in a conclusion that we are just being raised by our schools in a very different manner, and just the way it is. Who's to blame? Our schools?
