In our society, government has always been a huge taboo. They are the cause of all problems and constantly making the problems worse. We in turn, are hushed by government making it impossible to produce any change at we actually want. Well, that is what we are taught to believe. “The maddening irony is that those who scare us with the threat of Big Brother government are to often the same people who cut back essential government services and turn them over to private interests… thus making government scary.” (page 81) The reason government is scary to us is because we really are never in control. We might think that our ideas are going to change something at some point but I have yet to see the real change. This is when we need to step up and make our needs even more heard. Maybe even change from neighborhoods, to towns, to cities, to states and so forth. The only change we can make the notice is that change we make ourselves. Such as “think local, buy local, be local.” (page 97) This is a perfect example of helping the local businesses and also help change the impact of the global crisis. This has been noticed by the local community but also on the national scale. Change is possible, if and only if, we work together and have a plan that begins operation in the smallest of area. Educate, think openly, live to better everything. This has also been seen in school programs. This is even better because people always learn more when they are experiencing it. Plus it is the students that are making the change. “Students are gaining ground in holding school administrators accountable for buying products only from companies that play fair with their workers. “(page104) We are young and have ideas to help the world, so lets do it!.
