Intellectualism

This post was contrived and/or composed to showcase my personal definition and thoughts of intellectualism and the level of intellectualism in America (modern times). Intellectualism is the defining factor of humanity, it is an innate activity that some pursue and others reject. The 5 components of intellectualism are knowledge, intelligence, complexity, cognition, and inquiry/inquisition. I believe modern society/America is now in the midst of an intellectual hole. The lack of concern in modern society towards intellectualism has put America in a compromising state in all aspects of its infrastructure(education, innovation, scientific literacy, etc.). Along with or including science, intellectualism is the most compelling and significant entity that manifests itself in both the earthly world and the spiritual world.
