It's about entitlement[1] and responsibility, education, ethics, critical thinking, incompetence, economic elites, empowerment... in any part of the world. 18 moving minutes that will make you think.<br /><br />I'm keeping a quote from it:<br /><blockquote>Every society must be very intentional about how it trains its leaders</blockquote><span style="font-size:85%;">[1] I was talking about this to someone and could not think of a good Spanish term for "entitlement". He translated quoting something heard in lots of movies when the hero is in trouble while abroad: </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >I am an American citizen</span><span style="font-size:85%;">. Not that I believe that Americans are worse than in my corner of the world in the entitlement disease, but I thought that it was a very funny and good translation.</span>-Xvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12954073038736466058noreply@blogger.com0
