It seems only yesterday when the world at the end of the 20th Century provided. We are concerned about the consequences of Y2K. Would the world stop? It would be the end of the free world as we know it? As we moved from 20 in the 21 Century, CEOs of major airlines scheduled to demonstrate the safety of the flight at midnight. Y2K came and went with a whimper.
It is officially the first decade of the 21st Century concluded a bit 'stronger.
According to the GregorianCalendar is the official definition of a decade, a period of ten years with the first year if a decade, starting at 1, would end the year, in 0, for example, end 1921-1930. This means that 2010 is the official end of the first decade of this century, although some celebrated last year.
came 9 / 11 at the end of the first year of the decade, have been created that mantra, taken on a life of its own:
"If you do, the terrorists win"
"If youYou do not win, the terrorists "
"_____ The end of the free world would, as we know it. "
We have adopted these random phrases in our everyday vocabulary. Looking back over the last year of the decade and see if the terrorists win.
Leopard and Pink: The end of the free world
A popular magazine which required women to each recipient of an award a black suit for his photo shoot. Men are no requirements to wear, whereMagazine when they are photographed. When asked, the director replied: "We can not show someone in leopard print and the other in pink." This is true, it would know the end of the free world as we know it and that the terrorists have won!
We, like the end of the first decade of the new century, there are two different professional codes, dress codes, code offset, and-name-it-codes. While the pace may be more levels, is not a level playing field forMen and women. The TV show "Mad Mad Men shows women are called women as second class citizens in 1960. Perhaps the current version should. Fifty years after the time on TV Mad Men, bras while women may be less sharp and more action often, an editor concerned that women wore pink and leopard. If a woman wears leopard and pink for a photo shoot that was supposed to be the end of the free world as we know it?
Prince poppycock
Prince was a poppycockContestant on America Got Talent. Beautifully dressed, it seems as if swallowed Liberace both Cher and Lady GaGa. Without make-up John Quayle is a "gentle" quiet man, unassuming singing well. He claims that no trust in the scene just as John Quayle. When you put on the facade of nonsense, is confident, very confident. He speaks and walks with a swagger. While his case is extreme, the one that teaches us to be aware of what we need to communicateTrust.
Poppycock and his legions of fans deserve the 'Made in America. When you win the talent of nonsense was not allowed, encouraged and promoted, then truly the terrorists.
The story of Tillman
The death of Pat Tillman, NFL star and generally cool guy is the inspiration for the documentary, The story of Tillman. First, the government tried to hide until his death by friendly fire. Then the government wanted to glorify the victim and make aHeld, that he never wanted to be.
Without his recruitment, and thousands of celebrated heroes like him, may have been the end of the free world as we know it. His story was that the story of a man, not a superhuman hero. Director Amir Bar-Lev said he valued it seems a movie so that the true story of a man and what it is. Here is a man, a son, a husband, a brother and a teammate who wanted to do its part. He wanted to do its part to ensure that terroristsnot win, was not the end of the free world as we know it in this decade of this century.
As a country and as individuals we have a goal every day. It 's true, every year of every decade. The beginning of 2011 gives us the opportunity to relive this goal and every day to grow again, to identify our value system to communicate our values and protect our values.
