Is this the heritage we want to leave future generations? Or Can We Reverse the Trend?

1. Do we have "An Obligation to Care"?*
2. Can Individuals Make a Difference?*
3. Can we Work Together to "Change the World"?*
4. Does the Current System Need to be Changed?*
5. Can we bring about this change through collaboration and dialogue or is our primary means protest and opposition?*
