The culture in New Orleans is impressive. Today I went to a jazz club and sat for hours while the sousaphone kept the entire place dancing for hours. I loved the music, the vibe, and the people I was their with. It was a complete New Orleans auditory experience. As a former band member I was able to appreciate the amount of work it takes to perform well, but in the end the hard work always payees off. When people come together no task is impossible. Many of the problems that lie before us as a people are solvable. Education, finances, homelessness, gun control, ect. are serious issues that require for people to cooperate. One side of an issue or one political party needs the help of opposing views to create the strongest, most effective, best changes possible. Through debate flaws to ideas can be observed and corrected. In the scientific community many different scientist may research the same topic, but by sharing findings and allowing their peers to review findings disputable findings are challenged and more comprehensive work can be attempted due to the thorough nature of the field. This same approach is the key to solving the social problems that plague the world today. If we as individuals can resolve to think through solutions, be accepting of criticism, and make justice the goal of our actions then the issues of education, finances, homelessness, gun control, ect. will notbe solved immediately, however they will be thoroughly examined an equally thoroughly cured. Solved. Erased. Erradicated. Non issues. There are no easy solutions, the work will be arduous but the result will be complete. It is commonly said that anything worth doing is worth doing right. Is anything more worthy than social justice? NO! And for that reason we owe the world the complete Bonner experience.
