Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
All children have hopes and dreams. Their innocent optimism from their early years to working their way through school is inspiring. The responsibilities of educators and parents are to help children be ‘response-able’ in facing the challenges of life. A victim mentality eliminates any hope of successfully meeting their aspirations and dreams. Children face obstacles -- some are daunting and others the normal ups and downs of childhood. Parents and others have an obligation to help children grow into maturity and learn that they can act in positive ways in good as well as in hard times. To reject the ability to live a life they have imagined results in a life lost, along with its potential and possibilities. To be successful, children cannot adopt a victim mentality. When confronted with challenges, character matters -- responding effectively to address life’s challenges. Schools must teach character development in an environment that holds children responsible and accountable. We all have only one life to live and we are able to respond to achieve an imagined life.

Book Description
Poverty. War. Bureaucracy. Divisiveness. Gridlock. Exploitation. Farmland degradation. Water shortages. Oil Spills. Nuclear meltdowns. Unemployment. Job dissatisfaction. Debt. Divorce. Depression. Anxiety. Addiction. Fear. Isolation. Loneliness. The 21st century world we live in is charging full steam ahead, seemingly at the speed of light. Though this breakneck pace has created many amazing marvels of modern technology, it has also created a more complex set of interlocking problems than our species has ever seen before. We all contribute to perpetuating faulty global systems in one way or another, but it takes a lot of humility to be able to admit that. By firstly focusing upon changing and improving one's own ways of living, and beginning with the mantra of “it's all my fault” — rather than immediately pointing fingers and telling everyone else to change — we can break down cultural barriers, inspire action, and make much more rapid progress to reduce the immense suffering that exists in this world. Directly or indirectly, it affects us all. It's time for a new paradigm; a new type of culture that incorporates the interests of all global citizens. It's All My Fault lays out how we got here, how we can move forward in this journey, and delves deep into personal insights and vivid experiences from the author's life. It describes a practical set of innovative ideas that have the potential to ultimately lead to the day in which many of our greatest challenges — such as poverty, homelessness, and underemployment — become a thing of the past.
