Blog#7 (Ishmael)

How, according to Ishmael, can we save the world?(cite examples from the book to support your answer)

According to Ishmael the way to save the world is to follow "The Story of Genesis," which talks about changing the leavers mind into takers mind because the leavers mind is about not having a right way to live in this world. "You cant change these things with laws. You must change people minds"(249). Teach a 100 and convince those 100 to teach 100. Spread Ishmael's teachings to help people make up their minds. Ishmael's teachings really show you whats going in the world. for example Ishmael says that we should stop sending food to Africa and start sending them birth control stuff.

  1. I agree that the Leavers' mind is not about having one right way to live in the world, but disagree that Ishmael says we need to change it to the Takers' mind. I'm slightly confused.

    I greatly agree with "Ishmael's teachings realy show you what's going on in the world". I feel this book opened my eyes to what's happening, and may never think about the world in the same way.
