ABSTRACT

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world". This famous and popularized quote from Mohandas Gandhi expresses part of the intent and purpose of this chapter. Gandhi was one of the greatest activists the world has known. Jesus Christ, like Gandhi, was a social activist who wanted to make the world a better place. He led others in that effort in word, deed, and by example. There are many women and men who, like the above mentioned individuals, have made a significant difference in the world by first living a life that exemplified what was needed from everyone, and then by leading others wanting to follow their example. In the complete adaptation of that statement, where everyone takes that expression seriously, solutions to most social problems could be solved at the micro level. There would not need to be macro solutions to most social problems.
