If people are products of their environment, why do you think you can magically correct their ignorance?

Question

I don't mean environment as a physical term. Everything that affects the decision-making process is part of your environment.

Answer 1

There is no MAGICAL correction to ignorance. There is not a bandage that performs a miracle in curing a wound that has festered for their entire life. All you can do to "correct" their ignorance is study what they do not understand, or study what they believe in. Do research. And talk to them about why they believe the way they do. MOST OF THE IGNORANT do not even KNOW why they believe what they do and when presented with actual knowledge tend to buckle because they have NOTHING to back up what they say they know. Hence the ignorance.

Answer 2

The environment is something that can be changed, so it seems to me that if people are products of their environment, changing their environment could influence them. Maybe even reverse some of their ignorance. For example, I am currently changing this enviroment that is in front of you, so that you see words you didn't see before, and thus, you might be losing some of your ignorance.

Answer 3

Ignorance can never be corrected by magic. It takes a lot of study.

Answer 4

people aren't necessarily products of their environments. For example, i was raised as a chriistian, and recently have realized how ignorant i was. I am no longer a christian. almost everyone around me is, but, i'm not.

Answer 5

you can't...either they realize they are ignorant on certain subjects and try to learn, or they don't care. If they don't care, they will remain ignorant.

Answer 6

there is always hope.
ignorancy can be corrected.

Answer 7
