On Thursday, July 26, 2018, the weekly discussion night was
underway.
Thu evening hosted a guest whose ideas were worth sharing.
Daniel holds a PhD in Social Work from a US university. He advised us on some
issues as time permitted him. Since this is an information age, we should not
seek to know everything. As to him knowledge is not accumulating information. The
important point is developing critical thinking which helps to accommodate ideas.
In every corner of our life, our wit is needed and that comes not only from
reading a lot but also from thinking critically and observing keenly. He said until
2005 in Addis Ababa he and his friends had a book club in which they raised ideas
including such theories as Freud’s.
Social work is a crucial field of study about which I want
to know. However, the time allotted to him was not adequate that the guest did
not raise the issue. He shared his views that the youth should not stand idle
every day. This is his observation in our area which he is visiting just for
the first time. They should read to improve their thinking. In addition to
this, they should also serve the community. Asked about the idea of demanding
one’s rights, the speaker said it is a recent one in Ethiopia. Only a limited
segment of our community demands their right. Other queries were also directed
to him:
Should we select books? How?
Was Africa’s freedom achieved because of the coming of Hitler
and the Second World War?
How should we better run Ras Abebe Aregay Library?
