Hi Bill, I'm a big believer in the ripple-effect.:0)No good teacher believes in replacing what a student knows with what that teacher knows. People can only learn what they are able to learn and synergize with their own knowledge and understanding. Changing attitudes can't be done by force. The best way is to live what we believe and be open to hearing what others believe, as well. My thoughts have been on equal value and though the message is an ancient one and doesn't originate with me, it has changed my life too. It's amazing how people in the higher levels of hierarchy respond when we choose to view them as equals, It also, is amazing how it changes those who believe they have nothing to offer because they have no place in that hierarchy, when we elevate them by our treatment of them. Being eye-to-eye and face-to-face does a lot in holding people accountable. Change isn't so much an outcome as it is a process. I see that we have each embraced a process that is helping us to become more fully who we are intended to be. Indiviualism seems like chaos to most people, these days, but there is a wonderful order in chaos that can't be replicated by an attitude of manufacturing human beings in the same way that we manufacture products. I simply adore chaos!
