Carl Sagan on mass media and children

An extraterrestrial being, newly arrived on earth - scrutinizing what we mainly present to our children on television and radio and in movies, newspapers, magazines, comics and many books - might easily conclude that we are intent on teaching them murder, rape, cruelty, superstition, credulity and consumerism. We keep at it, and through constant repetition many of them finally get it.

What kind of society coult we create if, instead, we drummed into them science and a sense of hope?


Quote by Carl Sagan in the book "The Demon-haunted world. Science as a candle in the dark"
