This, too, will change the paradigm. So, giving financial resources is an important way of being more than one place at a time. Globalization is also requiring a better educated, better trained, stable work force and healthy communities. Our need for employees to fuel our growth, plus the pressure that comes from low unemployment requires strong social service organizations to train and integrate those previously considered unemployable. That also requires corporate organizations which provide training, stabilization, motivation, involvement, engagement and a safety net.
Healthy communities allow teachers to teach and students to focus on learning.
Healthy communities produce healthy competent workers who help to produce economic value for the corporations who hire them. The market place may be global, but people will live and love and work and play in localities. And, we must never rationalize that our responsibilities to so many allow us not to serve any . If that happens, our corporate cultures will be soulless and we will fail. With all the vibrant, positive facts I offered earlier, I believe we are still at risk - if not factually, perhaps emotionally.
