How do serious-thinking people address the problems of poverty, globalisation, the destruction of human dignity, genocide and the rights of children? Arousing out of this challenge, this book makes people think and connect wires, encourages them to question their place within the world and discusses issues that have been changed by individuals.

Ultimately the purpose of this book is to make people think and connect wires, to encourage them to question their own place within the world, to acknowledge personal and collective responsibility and to discuss a range of situations and issues that have been changed by individuals.
