Chauvinistic nationalism must be eliminated in the realm of education because it causes us to continue to privilege and support the group that we consider as our own, which will bring us to the point where we crave for selfish success and extreme obsession of power.

In order for our education to metamorphose, it must adjust to the world because it is one of the modes to achieve a well-founded and a meaningful life within the

I observe myself and other people using such a language that hurts others' feelings. Whosoever is superior to anyone, he speaks him scornfully and does not care of his feelings.
