In "Nothing Is More
Important than Thinking Dialectically," by Grace Lee Boggs, she talks of
the necessity of a countercultural movement that will spark a revolution for
change for a better global north. By definition, the term "dialectically"
means "the art
or practice of logical discussion as employed in investigating the truth of a
theory or opinion." Drawing this term into its significance for the Asian
American community, it should be noted that if everyone believed in the "practice of [a] community-based, socially responsible
education" system, the global north would be able to reach this revolution
for a better place (Boggs, 5). The world would be a place that would be
socially aware of Mother Earth, instead of using all of its natural resources for
a capitalistic, materialistic society. The line that resonated with me the most
was when she said, "How do we
live more simply so that others may simply live?" (5). The article made
clear how much could change if we could just be more aware of what we were
doing to the world we lived in.
Question: What are steps that we can take within our own lives to be more socially aware of our actions?
