I just read the acceptance speech given by the first woman nominated to lead the department of labor in Saudi Arabia. Her main point was to reassure the public that she believes change must take time -as in multiple generations of time. My take is that what change really requires the older generation to die off before better policy can be put in place because ultimately good or bad people will not give up their own point of view, which is the product of the environment they themselves grew up in. Adjust that environment, kill off all the older people and wala! - Change will happen. That is how war works..war ends up killing all the people who were seriously committed one way or another and the people who are left are much more open to compromise because they just want the fighting to end.
Wouldn't it be better if the older generation just listened and compromised in the first place?
