Have you read about the Responsibility Project?
Liberty Mutual is sponsoring an online community to discuss ways that people are taking responsibility in our world. Part of the mission statement of the project is this:
We believe that the more people think and talk about responsibility, and even debate what it means, the more it can affect how we live our daily lives. And perhaps, in this small way, together, we can make the world just a little better.
Broadcast journalist Kathy McManus writes a blog there, posing thought-provoking questions to help guide discussion about important issues in our world. If you have a story to share, you’re encouraged to join the discussion. Visitors are also encouraged to define their own policy for what makes a responsible parent, student, friend, etc. What an excellent tool for passing the torch.
Several high-quality short videos are also available on the site. This one — an 11-minute movie called “New Boy” — shows an African boy’s difficult first day of school in Ireland. It highlights the important decisions he and others around him must make.
We each experience the world with a different perspective. Perhaps our greatest responsibility is to try to see that of someone else.
Do you have a story about kids that make you proud, or adults who are passing the torch? Please let me know and I’ll spread the word on Pass the Torch Tuesday.Former PTT posts.
