Who is behind the world economic crisis
Throughout history, humanity has faced various problems. From risking your life
hunting in the wildness in order to get food to wars where people died fighting over territories.
However, humanitys main concern today lies in a so-called Economic War which brings with
it the world economic crisis. Thus, in order to solve the problem we need to get to its root and
ask ourselves: Who is behind the world economic crisis?
First of all, we need to look back to our childhood. In my opinion, through the
education system we are given the idea that if we study lots of things, may they be useful or not,
and follow the rules of society, we are going to be happy and well. However, what if actually our
education system is doing more to indoctrinate children than to educate them? In fact, that has
been the case for quite some time. Our young minds are being told to accept authority as truth
instead of truth as authority and teachers talk at the students instead of with them. Therefore, we
lose the ability to use critical thinking and we accept the current situation. We keep on putting the
blame on each other and we gradually start thinking that everyone is our enemy. Thus, from
competing with each other since childhood and accepting authority as truth, we fail to realize
where the problem actually lies.
Also, things as financial fraud or poverty and social equality only boost the economy
crisis. We are fixed on making a good living for ourselves and forget about others who struggle
as much, or more than us. Moreover, we tend to believe in the so-called economy recovery
which, lets face it, has already become a myth. The media reports on bankruptcies, while
revealing local-level realities affecting one or more factories, fail to provide an overall picture of
what is happening at the national and international levels. When all these simultaneous plant

closures in towns and cities across the land are added together, a very different picture emerges:
entire sectors of a national economy are closing down.
In the end, I think that regarding the world economic crisis, humanity actually struggles
with itself the main fault being the imposed system. Moreover, the education system is filtering
out the inquisitive nature of our being, with the ultimate goal being to prevent dissent against the
system. The system doesnt want thinkers. It doesnt want people to question its methods. It
wants a population that can be easily manipulated and controlled so as to relinquish all its power
to the elite. Therefore, we stop thinking and take many things for granted. Also, we dont
honestly ask ourselves whats the main reason for this world economic crisis, but instead we try
to point the blame on just one person, or a group of people. Thus, we fail to see that the system
and its faults its what actually brings, not only economy, but also humanity down. Inside most of
us lies a need for conflict and a desire for success by destroying other people, which brings
economic and social crisis which has by no means reached its climax and entire countries,
including Greece and Iceland, are at risk. One need only look at the escalation of the Middle East
Central Asian war and the U.S.-NATO threats to China, Russia and Iran to witness how war and
the economy are intimately related.
