Cultural Transformation

In his article, he describes the meaning of cultural transformation as “cultural pioneers”, where this transformation does need long time of efforts to see the success view. In order to achieve cultural transformation, all the aspect from government, media, education, etc. has to work together and alter. For example, he mentioned that “policy alone will not be enough” that not only the policy but also a dramatic involvement in the very parts of human societies will be necessary. The food we eat, how we travel from one point to other, even how we treat the environment in daily life; these small action can added up from one person to other to make it as cultural transformation. His plan seems very accurate but in my point of view, education system looked very accurate to see some essential changes. As he mentioned in his article, by educating young generation about nutrition, and about the environment where we live in right now, and by showing critical of consumerist media, our young generation will be in better off to understand the condition of Earth and become future cultural pioneers. From my experience, since my elementary school, our community and school were very involved to educate how much it is important to recycle and we have to care our environment through out our lifetime. My home country is very strict about recycling process and still today, I take it very serious when it comes to recycle so I always divide paper, plastic, food, glass so it does not mix with other stuffs like food. However, when I moved to US, I was very shocked that not a lot of students know the importance of neither recycling nor how to distribute their products when they trash it. From that point, I thought not enough of education on environment for young people is dangerous for the future. I do know it will take a lot of effort to see a big changes but at least education do teaches and influence our young generation to become cultural pioneer, it will help our environment much better.
