Powerful Womans' Voices
World leaders speak out. The time of blind struggle is drawing to a close. Hellen Keller, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Miranda Kerr have come to the rescue. Together they have become a worldwide sensation
“People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions; and conclusions are not always pleasant.” says Keller who visited sweatshops, factories, crowded slums of New York and Washington. ”Of course I could not see the squalor; but if I could not see it, I could smell it”.
Keller inquires why things are as they are? Keller’s answer is that “the foundation of society is laid upon a basis of individualism, conquest and exploitation, with a total disregard of the good of the whole,” but “slowly man is waking up. The people — the great ‘common herd’ — are finding out what is wrong with the social, political and economical structure of the system of which they are a part.
Kerr has offered to sign a petition to save the world under threat. "...Of course I would sign it," said Kerr. Ms Merkel said the world could tackle new challenges, from poverty to climate change. "Together we brought down the Iron Curtain and I am convinced this can give us the strength for the 21st century”
There could be no stronger affirmation of freedom and while force has the temporary power to dominate, it can never ultimately dictate
