On Students, Their Studies, and the Conflicts Around Them

War is not an exception, it is normal for human beings in history. The current situation in Gaza and in Ukraine will probably get worse, not better. Each side in these wars have legitimate and illegitimate goals and concerns. The rise of social media and the many electronic inventions only make staying sane even harder. Students are at their best, socially, mentally, and educationally when they stick to their studies and related issues and avoid the wars and conflicts around them. It may not be easy to avoid contamination but it is worth more than a try. Some individuals for family and ethnic reasons may find my recommendations not practical; I accept that.
