Some ideas, like our calendar, or like women being business leaders, need repeating:
–
The previous year, 2016, has shown us that the entire world is in need of change, in particular in the ways that we see, or do not see, one another. Cultural dominance, as shown by the use of the Gregorian Calendar, is something that frames the world-view of all of us who grow up within Western/European culture. To build a more inclusive and kinder world, we must learn to reframe our ways of thinking, change our perspectives.
One way of doing this is by watching and creating more shows which show women and other traditionally marginalized groups in positions of authority, such as Turkish businesswoman Güler Sabancı on Sihirli Annem (2003).
Another way of doing this is to begin using a calendar that is inclusive of all humanity: The Holocene Calendar (El calendario Holoceno.)
