The World Is A Text

The introduction of Silverman and Rader 's The World is a Text states that : We should think of our entire world as something that should be read (Silverman Dean , Introduction . On my personal view , this means that we should think and analyze each event that happens in our daily lives . Critical thinking is necessary in for us to understand the world as a whole and consider its inside (human factors ) and outside (non-human factors . This involves the environment , development

and sustainability of the world and the people in general

One real-life example of how I read the world recently is how fair treatment campaigns are done worldwide but still it remains as one of the biggest problem that we all face . Mixed-raced or pure , unfair treatments is an issue at home , office , schools and other places that truly brings an imprint of trauma to someone 's heart resulting to social division of people according to their race . The influence and impact of this issue causes people to change their individual character as a person just to belong in a group that results to behavioral risk problems , lack of self-esteem , social isolation and problems in family relationships . This racial difference is the root cause of the conflicts our world is experiencing now that is why it should be read and solved first . Diversity cannot be avoided but it can be applied in a positive manner

The world is something that we should interpret . In terms of social factors , each one of us must consider the different factors that may influence decision-making and the actions we take as values , beliefs and personal circumstances . There is a need to reconcile these diverse social aspects of human race to complete a firm global citizenship
