NonFiction supports EDUCATION


Months ago we asked 'What is to be OUR Generation's Fight?'. Mentioning past generations battles for Freedom, Human & Civil Rights, we began to shed some light over what we believe is to be the trademark of our own. While we'd like for you to believe that the time past was an attempt to build the suspense-- key to all great Blogs, really (typically) we just began something, and left it unfinished.

But typical no more, fighting our fight, NonFiction supports EDUCATION.

EDUCATION - the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.

Naturally, by that definition, EDUCATION is something we all partake in knowingly & unknowingly, from the perspectives of the educator or the educated. What we do regularly through this blog is an attempt to educate and be educated on the cultural, social and world issues that concern us and others.

While we will resume addressing social, cultural and World issues, over the next few weeks we'll be taking particular interest in EDUCATION, specifically providing insight pertaining to EDUCATION in the academic and standardized sphere. With one recent college Grad -- go BJ it's your birthday! -- and one soon to be, hopefully we can provide some helpful insight on the current EDUCATION system.

until' next time ....

Fighting OUR Fight


What is to be OUR Generation's Fight? This is something that's been near and dear to my heart since first hearing my Pastor speak on the struggles faced by his own generation. Americans past and present have confronted, what may have seemed to be insurmountable tasks, time and time again. Bouts that include the movement for Civil Rights in the '50s & '60s, the protests for Peace & not War during the early '70s, and we can even date back to the 18th century as our forefathers fought for American independence and what we now call our American Freedom. These examples highlight the constant challenges met and conquered, while offering insight that history is indeed bound to to repeat itself. So what's to come for this generation?

Let it be said that while we don't live in a era that's rid of discrimination and violence, the generations prior have done more than enough to ensure that those to follow would be better off than themselves. So it's now our duty and responsibility to guarantee the same for those who will come behind us, our children and our children's children.

NonFiction supports EDUCATION.
