therealljidol: Season 5: Week2: I Don't Care About Apathy: What I 'Should' Care About -- But Don't
Take a look at my schedule. Seeing this, you'd think I'm deeply involved in school both academically and in my extracurriculars. However, all those organizations? I really could care less about most of them. I'm merely on the mailing list and sometimes I might go to meetings.
The ones I care about most? Alliance and Like Minds(formerly known as Diversity Council). Student Government Association[SGA] Senate? While Like Minds is a subset of SGA, I really could care less about SGA Senate. I'm a senator because someone's gotta do it. If I don't go to that meeting, the Alliance budget gets frozen. To be honest, I'm only doing it because it's the only way the club stays "alive".
To be absolutely blatantly honest, during the meetings, I really want to roll my eyes about the current call to ACTION -- ACTION being this year's new platform of:
Accountability, Change, Trust, Inclusion, Optimism, Now.
And on this platform? We have what are called "Hot Topics" which are discussion points of controversial topics. The first one, was the Saturday Night Live skit of Sarah Palin & Hilary Clinton. We were supposed to think about the portrayal of women and gender issues in media and politics. This is a topic I hear all too often at Simmons because we're a diverse, all-women's liberal arts school. I know, I should care about the media's portrayal of women, but I don't really.
The second one held today, was about the cover of the New Yorker and Vanity Fair's rebuttal cover. Again, I can see why we're talking about it and why I should care, but do I? Not really.
In my opinion, people will be people. Human nature is skepticism. Plus, no one usually wants to go beyond the surface anyway. You see what you wish to see. No one looks beyond that, so why should I care?
This is for Week2 of therealljidol and the topic was "I Don’t Care About Apathy: What I 'Should' Care About - But Don’t".
