Perhaps you have heard people say we have a dummying down problem in the United States. Many academics have wondered if this is true and many psychologists say that it is. Some people explain the problem, as a one of nature and nurture.
These people say that we have a dummying down of our society because those who are of less intelligence tend to produce the most offspring and have the most children even though they cannot pay for them. The same people say that the more intelligent and wealthy people have less children and therefore we are repopulating our society with more poor people, who are uneducated and genetically inferior. (this is what they say?)
This of course is not politically correct to say however, it is said often and I have heard such words uttered in many coffee shops across the country. It's hard to say if this is actually true, as we know even very poor people who work very hard overcome all the barriers of society and can easily make it into the upper class. That is in the United States of America of course.
Education seems to be the key along with hard work ethic, which comes from strong nurturing from the family. It would appear that there is a dummying down of society and this is troublesome for the future of our nation.
The cause or the reason is probably not as important as what we do in the future to solve the problem. Proper education and the building of self-esteem along with hard work ethic, and proper mentoring can most likely solve this issue amongst human societies in America. Perhaps we should consider this in 2006 rather than calling each other stupid. Think on it.
