In daily life we ​​need to ask for help and questions; however, we tend to have anxiety before asking questions. We fear being judged by the types of questions we ask. This concept of fear begins when we start school, a place where we learn basic knowledge of the world and the disciplines to follow rules through textbooks and other concepts. Neil Postman states that “the primary intellectual tool available to human beings is not tested in school” (829). I agree with this statement because in schools teachers give rewards for answering their questions instead of allowing us to question them. In fact, curiosity is an outlet for our ability to ask questions in general, but just when we start school, this ability diminishes and, as time passes, our ability to ask questions fades because school not only limits our ability to asking questions, but it also limits our ability to explore our creative side. .In contemporary society, it seems that following others is a common practice. Many of us follow other people's behavior, such as following the fashion trend of New York Fashion Week or eating so-called Greek yogurt because most people eat it. Most of us are so busy following these trends that we tend to forget to ask ourselves why we are following their ideas, when we could be generating our own. Often people tend to believe that they have full control of their lives, but in reality they are narrow-minded. As people's intelligence becomes more convergent, the more likely they are to be manipulated in this ruthless society. Neil Postman demonstrates this when he says, “Suppose you have just finished seeing a doctor. In delivering his verdict, he says somewhat accusingly: 'Well, you have... half the paper... our ability to question ourselves is undeniable. It is not impossible to encourage students to ask questions. By changing some rules created by legislators, the issues could be deeply integrated into schools. This will not only benefit people, especially the next generation, but it will also benefit society because people will be able to use their creativity and free the flow of the mind, and they will apply it to every aspect of their lives. . This will definitely improve and develop the society. Works Cited Jacobbus, Lee A. A World of Ideas: Essential Readings for College Writers. 9th ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's, 2013.
