Dear Diana, Thank you for so eloquently stating our collective fears.
Do you have any ideas as to how we can turn the tide? As you may know from my posts on GoaNet, I no longer have faith in the knowledge that divine intervention will help us overcome these problems. However, I am fully convinced that nurturing 'emotional intelligence' at an early age will give the next generation the confidence to overcome peer pressure and material consumerism. If this can be imparted by religious ideals, I would be all for it. Is there any point in introducing specific courses into the elementary school curriculum to nurture emotional development? The program would have to be initiated by proper training of teachers to impart this properly to youngsters. Thanks once again for your words, Kevin Saldanha Mississauga, ON. ------------------------- Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2006 09:39:44 +0530 From: flower2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Goanet] Requiem for a Lost Generation REQUIEM FOR A LOST GENERATION There is a pall of gloom hanging over Goa. One of our sons has lost his life and four others have thrown away their futures. These are not merely the sons of their families. They are your sons and mine. The torchbearers of a new generation. The hope of the future. The sorrow of their families is the collective sorrow of an entire community. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
