4.6…4.7…4.8… Chlorine gas that is not yellowish green… Hydrogen that REIGNITES a lighted splint with a pop and Carbon Dioxide gas that turn lime water chalky bleaches the litmus paper… What is chemistry coming to? I agree to the fullest extent that this is the worst practical in my whole RI life. The smallest living one cell organism is the amoeba. It has constant diffusion with the water around it. But that’s beside the point. That wasn’t necessary.
The thing I want to talk about today is about what is happening to us now - the radical change in our student society that teachers deemed as inappropriate yet that’s a change bound to happen. We spent one whole productive math lesson on this topic and it seemed interesting enough for me to talk about.
Changes happen all the time. It’s part and parcel of an evolution. People evolve and learn new things because they break the convention, either the bad way or the right way. However, there is no such thing as bad or good or right. That’s all opinions set by human beings as a moral guild line. When you feel like doing it, there is no such thing as a right or wrong. So therefore, it brings us down to people evolve and learn new things because they break the convention of things. That’s the exact reason, we challenge the process, changing it the way we want it to be and so, bringing an improvement to it. When we stop changing, society dies.
Let’s try to understand the “phenomenon” of why employers like to hire new, young talents instead of older ones. It happens almost in any particular job and the most prominent will be in fashion. Why is that so? It is because it’s always the new talents that have the new and interesting ideas that the older generation do not even think about. The older generation deemed it as crazy but yet, in the end, it becomes the trend. The printing press, for example, when it was first invented, people of the older generation think it’s a usually machine and is destined to fail but what it brings forward was the renaissance and the enlightenment due to the spread of ideas through books. So, what is may look like a chaos and retarded thing today may be the new black couple of years down the road.
Also, another point about maturity rate was brought up. Indeed, maturity rate does indeed play a big part in determining how we look at things and view it from an adult’s point of view. We may think Pokémon is cool few years back and now it’s like, “What the crap. I used to play that when I was young?!” Indeed, maturity rate does change as we grow older. So, it’s a really natural thing when we see what we are today as normal and yet realize that we are not tomorrow. This kind of things can’t be forced onto us and we need time to think and understand this world. So, to all the teachers that think we suck and we are really rude and disrespectful kids, you might want to rethink about yourself when you were our age. You may argue that at that point of time you are very guai and stuff but is it true? Can that be possible? Dare to say you never said a single profanity in your entire life? That’s not possible. There is no one that is infallible.
So, our student society is changing and there is nothing you can do about it.
A prefect ran to the Principal and said, “The students are very noisy, there is no way we can stop them.”
Principal asked, “Is that a riot by the student population due to the fact that bottled drinks are not allowed to be taken out of canteen?”
Head Prefect replied, “No, madam. That’s a revolution.”
