"Do you know what students want from their teachers and institutions now?

"Peter S. Baron, a Dean’s List student in the Honors Program at Fairfield University and author of If Only We Knew … asking whether socioeconomic inequities an inevitable product of human evolution or is it possible to seek to eliminate inequities?
Compared to other generational leaders such as Greta Thunberg and David Hogg, Baron examines the causal relationship between a culture that fosters greed and the existence of socioeconomic inequities, many caused by the spate of misinformation for profitable gain. His book explains how the widespread acceptance of these false ideas leads to the creation and amplification of risks posed by social problems.

Baron calls for a national commitment to the values of forgiveness, compassion, long-term “infinite-thinking”, and selflessness. If Only We Knew offers a refreshingly bold framework within which we can understand and solve the problems facing society in the 21st century."
