Waves of Change
August 11, 2011
My teacher education work began to shift when Betty Jones gifted me with the notion of creating 'structures for openness.' ...Instead of saying, 'Here’s what I would do,' I began offering considerations for how to think through decisions to make.
-Margie Carter, in From Teaching to Thinking
The entire 200th issue of Exchange was addressed to the challenge of change.  In his article in this issue, "Waves of Change — Lessons from the Tsunami Disaster,"  Luis Hernandez made a strong case for valuing change:

"As difficult as change can be, it also offers an opportunity to recreate or adapt what has been normal and stable up to that point.  It can be a time for refreshment and decluttering, and redirection of what was then and what can be or will be in the future.

"Change is a spark to do things differently, to reawaken old skills, to sharpen new abilities, and to recognize strengths and potential contributions.  These forward steps are inner sources of leadership qualities that provide motivation to face challenges in positive ways.

"Change awakens inner fortitude.  It brings a renewed sense of empathy for the suffering and personal tragedies of others.  Our own burden is lifted when we can help others;  one can find inner tenderness in the strong caring for the weak."

Change should start from own it is a old thought/belief I would say, new as well as future-appropriate thought should be change need altogether in society. If society dose not awake individual change wont achieved desired success- wont useful for that individual too. Novel lariat Rabidranath tagore mentioned it this way that "if you go forward alone keeping lag behind others they will make hurdle for you as a result you will remain behind".
I think so. London riot is an example, seems to me.
