This question is not urgent because it is new, but because we have delayed answering it for so long that silence has become more comfortable than facing the truth.
A nation cannot rise if it explains its reality as a matter of chance. A society cannot progress if it gets used to blaming its failures on forces outside itself. Change does not start with appearances; it starts at the roots—at the ideas we keep reproducing and the language we use to understand ourselves and the world. Before any external structure, awareness is formed. When this awareness is flawed, the results will be flawed too.
When we look honestly, we see a history burdened with divisions, a culture that prefers alignment over meaning, and an education system that focuses on receiving rather than questioning, on memorizing rather than thinking critically. Progress in other societies did not come from natural superiority, but from organizing the mind: managing differences through dialogue and shared rules, and building knowledge on verification, not emotion.
Our problem is not diversity, but the poor management of it. It is not the existence of different opinions, but turning disagreement into labeling and exclusion. At that point, thinking stops and polarization begins. Extremism then becomes a natural result of repetitive education, mobilizing rhetoric, and a social vacuum that encourages anger more than action.
The path to change is not a mystery, but it requires conscious effort: A civic culture that values human dignity and treats everyone equally. An education that rebuilds the mind, promotes critical thinking, and connects knowledge to real-life questions.
An opportunity-based economy that encourages initiative and rewards productivity and effort. Professional media that prioritizes information over sensationalism, and questions over indoctrination.
A culture of coexistence that manages diversity through dialogue and rejects hate speech without double standards.
Nations do not change by replacing names or slogans, but by changing the way they think collectively. Any attempt that ignores this core will only reproduce the same crisis—under different forms.
