The art of conversation

After reading the Canta magazine from canterbury university. An interesting article inside it made me think about the modern society. It was the article regarding "Women 101" a compulsory class that people have to take. Either "Wom 101" or "Men 101" or something like that. Which brings me to the point of "The art of conversation". At least kids in primary school or highschool should learn this subject. That way, everyone will be adequate in talking to people in general.

No more awkward looks darting around the room. No more stuttering in front of the person you like. But rather a straight forward approach, "will you go out with me in the weekend?" And the opposition in this conversation should respond in kind, even if they are not interested, pretend at least. YA KNOW!!!?

There are other things that have been brought to my attention. This should replace social studies. SERIOUSLY, who really needs to learn about evil hitler? Unless you're taking history. Social studies =/= (does not equal) history. It's a study of society. What better way to learn about society than become a part of a working one?

There are too many people who have low EQ out there in the world. And what better place to improve EQ than an elementary school? Or even a high school. Why haven't people seen this already? are they this blind to a broken society?

Back in the old days, everyone knew each other in the neighbourhood. Now it's guns and bombs. And a whole lot of anti-social ness. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
