• Main Subtopic: The Nature of History and Power “Much of history is the acquisition and control of resources (needed).” For example: land, knowledge, people (our kids—i.e., advertising). → Limited resources lead to conflict and compromise, as those who can acquire resources gain power. Trade, taxes, military and political influence, and infrastructure are all aimed at keeping people safe and secure. • Main Subtopic: The Definition of Genius and Competence “True genius resides in the capacity to analyze conflicting, hazardous, and uncertain information,” — Winston Churchill. Now, it’s just competence! • Main Subtopic: The Impact of the Internet and the “Minute Generation” With the internet revolution, the “Minute Generation” must be prepared! “The more you know, the less people can take advantage of you.” • Main Subtopic: Learning and Doing “Learning is what you do!
