WHAT ARE YOU MODELING FOR OTHERS?

Happy Friday, March 2, 2007

I just read the news that teenagers have been arrested for suspicion of bank robbery, here is a synopsis from CNN World News on the Internet:Police:

"It was a conspiracy ... They were in on it" Two women, both 19, were arrested with teller after a brief car chase. A teller and another man also arrested. The four suspects charged with felony theft and marijuana possession.

What interested me is:

What or who was their model in creating this event?
How has the U.S. become a country where teenagers are allegedly robbing banks?
Does this concern anyone else?

Here is a question I pose to the world at large:

Now that the world is fairly transparent. With the Internet expanding at a humongous speed, more and more is visible. What country is trying to intimidate another country (the U.S. is not left out of this game), who is doing what to whom, etc.

Can you, as an individual, think that what you do or what you say is not mirrored by another?

What you are modeling for the world and for those who share your environment has an affect. Each individual perceives information differently. Modeling is about what you are doing or saying AND what is being perceived by others. Communication involves at both ends.
With that, I am moving further into my day becoming more aware of my role in the world.

How about you?
