Ask Why......


I titled this blog....Ask Why for a reason. Many of my blogs are going to ride on the premise "Ask Why". This will be an ongoing discussion of people of our generation (18-28) to ask why about the things that are going on around them.


Ironically this Ask Why statement actually comes from the late great company Enron, where there company motto was Ask Why. Later the motto jokingly turned into "Ask Why, Asshole" after CEO Jeff Skillings called an investor an asshole. The irony of this is that a company that's motto was "ask why" had an entire corporation that not once ask that particular question which later as we all know led to their demise.


What I am trying to say is that there are a lot of things with wrong in the United States and the world for that matter, that our generation is going to have to clean up. From now on I would like for you when you read the paper or watch TV or anything just ask why. Why are things the way they are? Should we change them? or Why did we change them? We need to ask the media, the government, the businesses, the school systems everyone.


Now I know you may ask me why I am doing this why are you writing this blog what is your point? (and if you are you are on the right track already) Well my point is not to be some kind of world changer or political figure or know it all, I am just a regular 21 year old on the verge of getting out of college and entering "real life" and these are just my opinions of the world around me from my perspective, from the perspective of an average student from a normal family with a normal life, someone that many people my age can relate and understand and maybe (hopefully) agree with.


So in conclusion I would like to say read my blog with an open mind, after you read it even if you believe what I say or not take it with you and think about it throughout your day whether your at work or school just think about it question the things people do, question the things i say, question the things you do. Just Ask Why.....
