hi brad
congratulation doing a great job
where and how is your area of poverty alleviation?

Brad, thanks for your comment to my blog. And to answer your question, Do you think this Socially-Strategic Enterprise movement as you called it is being driven by the "31 flavors of catastrophe," and the fear it has placed in some of us? Or has the trend to act more responsibly always been there but is finally reaching critical mass?, I think it's a little of both. Throughout history there have always been those extraordinary individuals who have done extraordinary things, regardless of the popularity or recognition. At the same time, sadly it seems so many of us are not inspired to act until something drastic happens that forces us to look at our lives and the world in a new way. I know in my own life, for instance, that I've always been conscious about my own decisions and responsibilities to the world, but 9/11 still had such a profound impact on me that I was inspired to do more both in my own life and on a larger scale. I also think the trend has taken hold because of the advances in communication. Through the media and internet, for example, we as consumers, employees, citizens, etc. are more aware of what is going on around us and thus can hold leaders more accountable. This certainly is a trend whose time has come, and I am glad to be a part of it.

Thanks Brad! I hope you do get to see the film because it is very well done. I loved London when I was there a few years ago. Is that your current location?

I believe it rained every day I was there except for the day I got there and the day I left : )

Thanks for your concern. You're correct. People react differently. God bless.
