Part 1 is the introduction. It is about how the world is changing rapidly. Individuals, families and communities are facing many challenges. They are affecting everyone, rich and poor, young and old. It asks, our children are our greatest asset -- but what is happening to them? The video segments 1 to 4 are part of a documentary written and directed by Anatole Kononewsky. Anatole was Senior Research Officer at the Australian Institute of Criminology. The original documentary was produced in Australia and launched in March 1993. It was produced for the project, "Before its Too Late". Robert Kiyosaki and Max Walker were the national spokesmen for the video launch. The video was used, with a handbook, by schools around Australia.
Although produced back in 1993, the documentary raises issues and problems that are still relevant to all of us and shows some of their potential solutions. It also examines the futility of the current prison and criminal justice system. It is a compassionate examination of the challenges that modern society is currently presenting to young people and portrays an understanding of the dilemmas they face.
The documentary looks at the problems from a personal, social and ethical level, seeking to empower the viewer with the attitude necessary to find solutions. It is pertinent to young people experiencing difficulty with authority, achieving, parental relationships, or any other socially alienating attitude. The "Before it's Too Late" project supported a selected number of youth groups in Australia. The project was completed in 1996 when it donated all of its surplus funds to the Lighthouse Foundation Ltd (a project based in Melbourne helping homeless youth at risk).

A song was written in 1993 by Anatole Kononewsky for the launch of the video, in Melbourne, Australia, "See what we can be" -- a song for children. The song was performed live on the night by the Fitzroy Community School Choir. The song is about seeing the potential in ourselves, especially our children. When the highest priority of our families, communities, schools, government and business is to ensure all of our children are raised to feel safe, secure and serene then we will begin to create more peaceful people. And with more peaceful people we will have a more peaceful world.
The song is linked to another initiative created and song written by Anatole Kononewsky, "See the world in you"

Part 3 of 4: Our Children's Future in Our Handsby Earthsupport3,316 views
Demand and supply is an economic model of price determination in a market.
Silver and gold is a good long-term investment for those who can afford it, BUT it seems to me that continuous growth of the gold price is clearly due to artificial market manipulation intentionally created by rich and powerful. By escalating people's interest and their further desires, it is obvious why price is continue sky rocketing.
