I was looking at the eight options given, each concerning one of these issues: famine, health, education, human rights, access to clean water, and conservation of nature. Speaking for myself, I view these matters as intimately connected, without exception existing--persisting--due to lack of respect and of equality (both of which I would again argue to come down to the same: lack of culture).I am convinced that such an outlook is more helpful: by delineating the issue it does so for the solution as well, it restricts to a bare minimum the chaos of trying to control many factors, and hopefully resists tracking symptom rather than cause. But it is about this that I wish to ask: why might one not agree? less

She's the kind of person with an upper-level corporate job, who sits on a bunch of boards, and gets media exposure. I feel silly giving her a recommendation back because anyone who sees her profile is already going to know who/ how she is. Moreover, I only know her because I worked for her for a while and there are other recommendations on her profile from politicians and people with serious connections/ prestige. So, yeah, I don't want to insult her by not reciprocating, but I suspect nothing I could say would come close to what's already there and I'm betting she probably won't bother to share mine because I'm one of the "little guys." Still... etiquette. Bah. What say ye?FWIW, I had no idea she was so connected until I saw her profile, and now I feel twice as silly because I didn't realize she was well-known while I worked for her. less
Can you imagine yourself with no tattoos whatsoever, or are they so much an important part of you that you couldn't bear to think of yourself without them?~
