    Transcript link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sGpYxoOUFD7vTxbgl5Nisi4vSeJLC6iGgiJxPPwhYgE/edit?usp=sharing


    "The world is passing through troublous times. The young people of

    today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for

    parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as

    if they knew everything, and what passes for wisdom with us is

    foolishness with them. As for the girls, they are forward, immodest

    and unladylike in speech, behavior and dress."


    Who wrote that, and when do you think it was written?... it is an

    extract from a sermon preached by Peter the Hermit in A.D. 1274!

    *Clarification* Erik asserted the Civil War was about states right's. We know that it is was far more complex than that and that was an aspect of the causes.


    Quote from Runaway World: There are three main areas in which emotional communication, and therefore intimacy, are replacing the old ties that used to bind together people’s personal lives – in sexual and love relationships, parent–child relationships and also in friendship. To analyse these I want to use the idea of the ‘pure relationship’. I mean by this a relationship based upon emotional communication, where the rewards derived from such communication are the main basis for the relationship to continue. I don’t mean a sexually pure relationship. Also I don’t mean anything that exists in reality. I’m talking of an abstract idea that helps us understand changes going on in the world. Each of the three areas just mentioned – sexual and love relationships, parent–child relationships and friendship – is tending to approximate to this model. Emotional communication or intimacy is becoming the key to what they are all about.

    According to Merriam Webster, hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large.

    Correction: Aicila said about 20% of the population voted in the 2016 election, it was actually closer to 36% of the population, 54% of eligible voters.  “Those who face gun violence on a level that we have only just glimpsed from our gated communities have never had their voices heard in their entire lives the way that we have in these few weeks alone,” González tweeted. She continued: “The platform us Parkland Students have established is to be shared with every person, black or white, gay or straight, religious or not, who has experienced gun violence, and hand in hand, side by side, We Will Make This Change Together.”
