Democracy cannot survive where there is such uniformity that everyone wears exactly the same intellectual uniform or point of view. democracy implies diversity of outlook, a variety of points of view on politics, economics, and world affairs. hence the educational ideal is not uniformity but unity, for unity allows diversity of points of view regarding the good means to a good end.

More From Fulton J. Sheen

A multitude of uniform, unidentifiable houses, lined up inflexibly, at uniform distances, on uniform roads, in a treeless communal waste, inhabited by people of the same class, the same income, the same age group, witnessing the same television performances, eating the same tasteless prefabricated foods, from the same freezers, conforming in every outward and inward respect to the common mold.
Distance Class People
The trouble is that millennials and many recent products of the public schools believe that america was made great, if they're even taught that it's great, if they're taught that it's great, you know what they're told is the reason? diversity. there's diversity all over the world. you can go to places where there is diversity out the wazoo, folks. you can go to places all over the place world and you can find the most diversity, you can find perfect diversity, however you find it. you will not find a united states.

Theologians talk about a prevenient grace that precedes grace itself and allows us to accept it. i think there must also be a prevenient courage that allows us to be brave - that is, to acknowledge that there is more beauty than our eyes can bear, that precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm. and therefore, this courage allows us, as the old men said, to make ourselves useful. it allows us to be generous, which is another way of saying exactly the same thing.

The industrial and social injustice of our era is the tragic aftermath of democracy's overemphasis on freedom as the "right to do whatever you please." no, freedom means the right to do what you ought, and ought implies law, and law implies justice, and justice implies god. so too in war, a nation that fights for freedom divorced from justice has no right to war, because it does not know why it wants to be free, or why it wants anyone else to be free.
Wisdom War Mean
I started in the law; and the study of law, when it precedes the study of economics, gives you a set of foundation principles about how human beings interact. economics is very useful, and i studied economics in graduate school. but without understanding the social and organizational context of economics, it becomes a theory without any groundwork.
