The problem in our society is the political system that runs the government, and the people in the government who lead the society. However, the main conflict lies on graft and corruption which people get blinded with. They get too interested with the resources available in Mindanao and later on, with the power they get which causes enragement that triggers war. Even in history, these are part of the main concerns of the people living in Mindanao.
We can only put a big cease to every action that lead to hostilities and attain better solutions for these complex issues, when we have a fundamental foundation. That is, edification. Education encompasses not just knowing how to read and write, but teaches people self-discipline, how to assess problems or issues and come up with practical, effective and realistic goals for ourselves and our communities, how to keep and safeguard peace, order, and harmonious living with all people from all walks of life, and most importantly how to improve our own lives, our financial status through legal means, and economic progress of our communities by working together and learning things from each other.
So when we become educated, we rationalize things and come up with an idea of having a safe, assuring, re-designed and working system, that improves and expands the opportunities for addressing the maldistribution of wealth, social injustices, and religious and cultural persecution. These will not only neutralize political conflict but also ensure popular support for state apparatuses that enhance the lives of people; people who have stakes their individual
