To celebrate my birthday, I addressed a group of Global Scholars at Chattanooga State Community College on the societal trends in this political environemnt through the lens of cultural anthropology. Chattanooga is experiencing major cultural shifts as globalization transforms the South’s demographics. We are very much in need of a new generation with global leadership skills, multicultural expertise, and political involvement.

Illuminating! Thank you for the article
The third choice is actually mentioned. Don’t vote and just walk away. I don’t recommend that because it sidelines you and renders you irrelevant. In breakfast terms, not voting means getting up and not eating anything. Finding another breakfast solution is a separate act, one that reflects your geographic, historic, and demographic preferences as well as your personality that reflects the belief system forged by all three – as outlined in the Matrix Model Management System.
You’re starving for a breakfast that will stick to your ribs, a hard day’s work ahead of you. You walk into a local restaurant that serves only organic items. The waiter hands you the menu that has only today’s two specials.
1. A plate piled high with the finest dirt from the Chef’s garden, or
2. A bowl of the hand selected noxious weeds that had found their way into the garden.
The third choice, which isn’t listed, is to get up and go find another breakfast solution. Which does the Matrix Model Management System help you to choose, Deborah?
