| Notes | Our children must create a new and different path if they are to live out the vision of enough for everyone. Our culture often encourages children to see themselves as consumers, to value individualism above community, and to believe that more is always better. If children are to challenge the status quo, they need a clear idea of how their lives fit with what they believe. They need self-confidence and the assurance that they can have an impact on the world.
