You would change the way it educates its children.The U.S. Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools. Today, volunteers build schools in traditional societies around the world, convinced that school is the only way to a ‘better’ life for indigenous children. But is this true? What really happens when we replace a traditional culture’s way of learning and understanding the world with our own? SCHOOLING THE WORLD takes a challenging, sometimes funny, ultimately deeply disturbing look at the effects of modern education on the world’s last sustainable indigenous cultures.Interested to read more?

Scilla Elworthy: Fighting with non-violence – YouTube
Published on Aug 5, 2012How do you deal with a bully without becoming a thug? In this wise and soulful talk, peace activist Scilla Elworthy maps out the skills we need — as nations and individuals — to fight extreme force without using force in return. To answer the question of why and how non-violence works, she evokes historical heroes — Aung San Suu Kyi, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela — and the personal philosophies that powered their peaceful protests. Filmed at TEDxExeter.

Millionaire Politicians: Trading Influence for Cash – YouTube
The poverty rate in the United States has risen by about 33% since the year 2000, while the income gap between the top 1 percent earners and the rest has widened by 17 percent for the same period. How have those socioeconomic changes affected America’s politicians?
As it turns out, for the first time in history, more than 50 percent of U.S. Congress members are millionaires.
Furthermore, the median net worth in 2012 for all 535 members of Congress in office was a little over $1 million. The value of all their combined assets, minus liabilities, was about $4 billion, and many of them are in the nation’s top 1 percent richest people.
The top 25 wealthiest senators and representatives each have an estimated net worth of more than $35 million, with the richest – Darrell Issa (R-Calif) – topping the list with nearly half a billion dollars.
U.S. lawmakers earn a base annual salary of $174,000, not counting benefits, and many of them invest in Wall Street.
In 2012, the 10 most popular stock investments for members of Congress included the technological giant General Electric (1st), the bank Wells Fargo (2nd), Bank of America (6th), and JPMorgan Chase (7th).
Do politicians use their privileged position to engage in insider trading? As University of Chicago Professor Luigi Zingales points out, “Not only can members of Congress legally trade on confidential information; they do, despite the potential cost to their reputations.”
A 2004 study published in the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis revealed that U.S. senators trading in stocks beat the market by 12 percent a year. “Since even the best hedge-fund managers find it hard to achieve comparable results, we must conclude that these senators either are better than hedge-fund managers, or that they benefit from privileged information,” writes Zingales. U.S. congressmen and their staffers also collect privileged information and sell it to hedge-fund managers for millions of dollars.
Peter Schweizer, the President of the Government Accountability Institute, wrote in his 2011 book Throw Them All Out: “Insider trading is illegal on Wall Street, yet it is routine among members of Congress. Normal individuals cannot get in on IPOs at the asking price, but politicians do so routinely. The Obama administration has been able to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to its supporters, ensuring yet more campaign donations. An entire class of investors now makes all of its profits based on influence and access in Washington.”

Please watch the recordings of today’s satsang when they become available on YouTube, especially toward the end when Mooji responds to a letter from a young man who is undergoing abuse from his father. Wonderful discussion of freedom, lessons learned from suffering, refusing to put up with situations that are not right – not enduring abuse … I will be watching for their posting and upload to this page when they become available. Don’t miss them!

Watch the video asap, to avoid missing out in case of deletion.
