<p>Do people need to unlearn or reject many of their assumptions and ideas?</p>
<p>The flow of ideas is something that is always changing and the therefore, people need to give up old ideas and replace them with newer ones that will better fit the current world. Several examples, such as Galileo, Othello and the Enron scandal help to prove this point.</p>
<p>In the 1600s, most people assumed that the earth was at the center of the universe, mainly because of the catholic churchs propaganda. Today, because of the efforts of Galileo, we know that this is not true. People had to experience a paradigm shift. It was difficult at first because the idea of an earth center solar system had been around for so long. This example is proof that nothing is set in stone and that anything even the most persistent ideas can be changed. The process of unlearning something is difficult but sometimes it is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that the people are not given misleading information. What is the most difficult is accepting that something we have been led to believe for so long might be wrong. Therefore, as society experiences changes, one must adapt ones ideas and assumptions to make them fit in the modern era.</p>
<p>As showed by the play Othello, people often need to realize that their assumptions might be filled with errors. The character Iago is seen throughout the play as an honest man. That is what the people are led to believe and that is what they assume as true. However, by the end of the play, the other characters, because of an influx of information, realize that Iago is the most cunning character of the play. As the flow of information and ideas evolved, the characters had to adapt to the changing circumstances and had to unlearned what they viewed as true. What we can learn from this example is the context and the situation is in constant movement over time. Therefore, we need to be ready to reject past ideas in order to make space for new and updated ones that better fit the current situation.</p>
<p>Finally, as shown by the Enron Scandal, the way we perceive or see things is always evolving. In 2001, the world learned that the Enron Corporation, an energy company, had lied about its financial status and therefore past positive views about the firm had to be abandoned by the people in order to accommodate a new idea: the concept that this Houston based company was no so great after all. This paradigm shift, although difficult was definitely necessary for the people.</p>
<p>As time goes by, and we move further and further into the future, we will experience many occasions where we will be obliged to modify or to adapt our ideas in order for them to fit in an ever changing world.</p>
