Two years later, the Global Recession came and........I think you know the story.
.......
what caused the Global Recession
Is most of the world like this? It seems that even in school kids do pointless things on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, instead of learning something or even becoming better at anything productive.

There is a saying that ignorance is bliss , some people prefer to be blissfully unaware of things that don't concern or interest them , is it ignorance or just a life choice ?

This sounds like a rant about stupidity. There is a difference between common sense and book sense. Some people can earn degrees and appear to be "book smart", but they lack the ability to use common sense or have a lack of real world experiences to draw from.

Based on my experiences over the last couple years, I'd say that you probably hit the proverbial nail on the head. I think people have a tendency towards avoiding those things that make them uncomfortable--even more so when they feel helpless at doing anything about something. It's a lot easier to willfully duck one's head in the sand than to confront things that may disturb them.
Ignorance IS bliss at the end of the day.

Its called "cognitive dissonance". You basically ignore and deny that which makes you uncomfortable. Combine that with apathy and/or a helping of a entropy, and you can see why people click off any news in lieu of reality TV.
Are most people really ignorant?
