I think the
public interest this quote is talking about is to seek materialistic success. The
majority of college graduates these days tend to find jobs and careers based on
how high is the salary or wage paid. Little of them ever think of their rue interests
and specialty in which certain field. I do not think it is their fault that
they think this way, but rather it is our society that changes them. The
society today values economic ability and success more. It is as if our success
is based wholly on how much money we make but not on how much
self-actualization we really achieved. Many people then feel they have no
passion for what they are doing, whether doing a research in a lb or typing in an
office. Many people also start to lose the most basic human nature of sympathy
for other people or the zeal to help out others. Due to the change of society,
it seems that finding a job is easier for people who have better relationships
with employers or friends who can get to the employer. Even though they have
better skills for work, they sometimes couldn’t get recognized by employers
because they have no portal for the employers to meet them. I think the quote
is saying that only by restoring these righteous basic principles can we
achieve the true meaning of a democratic society.
