Review the Foreward of the Book "Reclaiming Youth at Risk"

The Foreward is Titled "Our Hope for the Future" and is written by Archbishop Desmund Tutu.

Important Concepts or Ideas:
  • "We seem to have forgotten that people matter more than things."
  • "We have taught them (children) that success is everything, no matter how ruthless you might be in achieving your results.
  • "We have based our whole society on power, portraying compassion, gentleness, and caring as 'sissy' qualities.
  • "I fear that our wonderful expressions of concern for young people are just so much baloney." How does he know this? Deeds speak more than words.
