Teachers are the way to building Civilization, during times of peace we need to be teaching in the 3rd world nations, and we need to teach them to read "Animal Farm" and other good books, including "On Becoming a Person" by Carl Rogers.
Instead of waiting for times of crisis to send troops, etc, then we need to send teachers during times of peace to advance civilization in the world. We need to send teachers, and priests, and then we have movies, television, music, books, magazines, etc, newspapers, etc, with which we can teach people and with which we can advance civilization.
We need to expand the Peace Corps, and we need to send teachers, and we need to build libraries, etc.
We also need to educate our own people here in the USA, 25% of the adults in Kentucky do not know how to read and write and that is unacceptable, we need to educate our people and we need to build schools and libraries, etc.
And in Mexico we need to donate libraries, and schools, and hospitals, etc. We have had huge success with education in Colombia, and we can expand education in other areas as well.
The Bible says that if we teach the children when they are young, then they will remember their lessons when they grow older. We need to teach the children, we need to invest in the education of humanity to advance civilization.
Salute,
