"society sacrifices it's environment,education and moral stance just to try to become rich"


 


This is ultimately destructive of cultural and social fabrics, I think awareness of how important freedom is to any human is vital.

this may be a little of topic 



but its important, and many of us here work in the arts.  



if you haven't heard of Ai Weiwei, he is a Chinese artist.  an incredible artist if you ask me.   i've only recently begun to investigate his work.   



and now he's been detained by the chinese govt.    for reeducation ?  



here is a TED link on Ai Weiwei.

i think any relevant discussion will be applicable as he is a very inspiring person.   please see the link when you have a minute. 



cheers.
