1. Education criticism

Nowadays, education its too structured. We are not allowed to have an opinion or to question anything. At school, kids just sit down in rows,silently, an listen an memorize whatever the teacher says. Those are the learning methods of this time, while it should be more interactive, where students can analyze , have opinions and have doubts,Students should also be allowed to sit where they want, because that does not affect their learning capacities. This way, we would really be preparing ourselves for life, instead of just memorizinguseless information.
