My own thoughtsOften than not, we find ourselves

burying in excessive news due toinformation overload.

Occasionally we want to know moreperspectives towards certain topics.We want to know things more thanWikipedia and what news told us.Quora helps us as young futurejournalists to understand why theworld works the way it does, whypeople behave the way they do, andwhat we can all do to make the worldbetter.
