Brainwash

I am 26 years old and my job is a private teacher. I taught at a catholic school 3 years ago and had enough of the management. I now teach a group of 7-14 years old students. I start my class at 9 o'clock and finish at 11 o'clock every weekend. Early this year I acknowledged my students that food from 7-11 is not the best for them. I tried comparing to them of what they will get if they buy a real chicken from a market to a chicken sausage from 7-11. I also try to inform them of how a big company will take away local people's careers and their parents will earn less. They listened to me and understood this concept well.

One day, one of my intelligent students told me that he had informed his parents about it and they are very happy. One older student said to me that she cannot promise that she will not go to 7-11 because her parents will rather choose 7-11 than local shops. This makes me feel very sad because somehow the vast majority of Thailand do not think for themself. Thailand might end up like Argentina one day if we continue to be so blind. I just thought that if I have a bit of knowledge and I may be able to give some good attitude to younger generation, things may change for the better for this country. I sometimes wonder though if we still have any hope at all?
