There's a problem arising among the millennial generation, a generation that values art and culture. But it's beginning to take a turn, it doesn't like any form of authoritarian figure, whether it be from the left or right.

In my opinion I feel like we should maybe look into other education systems that other countries have that have a strong education system and start going off that. I feel like this could be a god topic to have for a research paper, I will most definitively look into that more.
