--- Quote from: Thorax on November 05, 2009, 03:51:23 PM ---Why is knowing Gandhi important? I mean, I've know about him and who he is for a while now, but I don't see why it's to important to know about him. Yes he practiced civil disobedience on a large scale and India got it's Independence because of it, but it's not something you really need to know for everyday life. --- End quote --- This is my viewpoint as well, but Inverted begs to differ. |

I was actually reading about Guy Fawkes the other day. It's a pretty interesting topic. |

Do you want to know why the Civil Rights Movement and knowing the nation of India exists are important? |

My statement is based on the fact that people learn most of what they know based on movies and television. When Baywatch came out, despite the obvious jiggle factor, people actually did learn how to save lives and use CPR properly. It's not always a bad thing, but there are exceptions. |
