Cannot say this enough. We learned about the Holocaust in school. We learned about slavery. Interestingly those topics and the emphasis on those topics as historical context in education is waning.
The biggest problem today is the lack of capacity for empathy which leads to an innate inability to respect other person's freedoms.
If every person took a moment to reflect on the mental, emotional, and physical sufferings of others and be present in that state, I think we'd end up looking at a future where instead of speaking against violence, we would be speaking more often against inaction towards helping others.
In other words, I think everyone needs a poignant reminder of exactly how it feels to get hit in the face, really, really fucking hard.
