Honestly, I hate politics, and the more I learn about it, more it dislikes me. It’s repulsive to see the way politicians treat people, how the laws are made, and the commitment of politicians with the society. If we analyze politics separately in every country, we can notice that corruption, willing for power, money, and dishonesty is present everywhere. The difference is that in some countries in Latin America and Africa this social deterioration is done explicitly while in USA or in the Europe, it has the perfect make up, where society can not notice the corruption behind the acts. A good example for is could be the salaries in Brazil, a Latin America country. A senator in this country earns around $50,000 a month, while a regular worker has the minimum salary at $150 a month. This is a casa of explicit dishonesty. Opposing of it, in the USA, the government has implanted the FCAT, where it will measure the student progress in class, in order to “doesn’t let any child behind”, and all be on the same level. Oh wow, when we hear it, sound perfect, the solution for education; but wait, here comes the manipulation of ideas AGAIN. While people think that the government is improving education in the country, he is actually cutting his spendings with it. This is the perfect make up, the perfect manipulation. Have anyone thought about this program deeply? Did you notice that in this program the child will not be measured in his evolution or progress, but he will be compared with the kids that were in that grade before him? This is dishonesty. All of us know that people has different abilities and difficulties, measure a child with one before him and not with his own progress is unfair. Besides it, the most important point of this program that anyone talks about is that if the progress of the child is not good or better than the one before, the school will receive less help from the state. Aham, finally we see the dishonesty. This program has the intention of saving more money and not improving education. It is the law of life that tells that no person is equal to another, it is almost impossible maintains a regular improvement of every class in the USA in every school every year. Maintain constant is ok, but not improve constantly. Another collateral effect of it is that you will create your children under the pressure and afraid. What kind of human being will they become? They are the future, their character are still being constructed. This program trough a perfect make up manipulate people’s thoughts and obtain its purpose (save money) at the same time that deteriorate society and make them more dependent of the government and their actions. This is politics, this is life. This is the shame where we live.
