Discussion with the African American community around the core values of the U.S. amongst which we find the ethic of Hard work and the family. Cultural heritage is important to strengthen ones identity. How to be proud of who you are? Education is definitely the cornerstone to success. Expression such as "to act white" or "to act balck", why not "to act purple" [lol] are complete non-sense. WHAT IS, IS JUST TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TO GET DEGREES even though the work environment might have its "hidden" own regulations taking into account a wide range of discriminative factors such as race, gender, age, religion... That is something else... Just be ready to shot with the best weapon, I mean the best degree.

Good and attentive reception of the lecture by the audience. Seems like a perfect atmosphere for the mind and the spirit to be caught. Attention is the beginning of Awareness, and Awareness is the beginning of Change, and the change, the positive change, stimulates self-identity and self-fulfillment.

I think that health issue is the most critical thing in our life. To be able to do, ones needs to be able to stand up since laying down means either the position of rest or the position of inability or incapacity. To be able to work, human beings need, at first, to be in good health. Health as a major social value is, then, priceless although it has a serious COST. The American historical presidential race has been won upon the change rhetoric. But change is quite easy to utter but definitely difficult to realize. Once the excitement of the novelty based on the change factor has passed, comes the resistance to change as the forces drawing that resistance are strongly rooted to keep alive the stutus quo. The expected change to take place needs sacrifice, resiliency, for the entire system is being shaked up. Generally, people do not have time to wait to enjoy the promised change. This endangers the lengthy and hard process of change. But, definitely, there are solid reasons for the U.S. to implement an universal health care system as most of capitalistic nations around the world have successfully done it keeping their populations healthy. Wealthy Nations Matching with Healthy Nationals.

Universal Advocacy for Universal Health Care in America: Went to the City Hall of San Francisco to support the Health Care Overhaul under Obama Administration. Wealthy society should be going along with Healthy society. The U.K., Canada, and France all capitalist nations got universal health care and function; so, why not the U.S.? Public option of accountability is not the opposite of individual responsability.
