"Witnessing and experiencing the apathy and ignorance of American youth towards the world and the people that govern it has become an astonishing aspect of the “American Lifestyle.” Growing up in a third world country, traveling the world and really seeing both sides of the picture made me question the capability of the future leaders of our world. America for Dummies is my quest to uncover why we are so apathetic about the world, let alone our nation, especially in our post-9/11 atmosphere."Niaz Mosharraf

Thanks for this blog entry. I completely agree about our youth being ill-equipped to understand the sheer magnitude of what is happening in our government and in the world. They seem oblivious to the fact that they are the leaders of tomorrow and with that comes certain responsibilities, which includes taking an active part in being in society. I wish you the best as you travel down this road and create a riff in this generation of America.
Nothing is more powerful to move others to action than the impressions of a film etched into the hearts of the viewers.
