Nicola Horlick or “ supermom“ , a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids has spent her career making a report 250m.

20、 income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. “ I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,“ Horlick told the reports authors. “I will not be leaving all my wealth

21、to my children because that would just ruin their lives. “ She is by no means the first to go public with this convition.

Antia Roddick, the late founder of the B。 dy Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body

24、 Shop Foundation, which isnt one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America.

It must be noted that the debilitating effects of poverty are not only the result

29、of lack of money but are also the result of powerlessness. The poor are subject to their social situation instead of being able to affect it through action, that is, through behavior that flows from an individuals decisions and plans. In other words, when social scientists have reported on the psych

30、ological consequences of poverty, it seems reasonable to believe that they have described the psychological consequences of powerlessness.

31、to implement the idea of equality while avoiding any unnecessary threat to the established centers of power. But since the consequences of poverty are related to powerlessness, not to the absolute supply of money available to the poor, and since the amount of power purchasable with a given supply of

35、uccessful and the successful self-originated important action should increase the feeling of potentialworth and individual power of individuals who are poor. The only initial resource which a community should provide to neighborhoods of poverty should be on a temporary basis and should consist of or

36、ganizers who will enable the neighborhoods quickly to create powerful, independent, democratic organizations of the poor. Through such organizations, the poor will then negotiate with the outsiders for resources and opportunities without having to submit to concurrent control from outside. 26 By “po

45、er it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digi

46、tal bread crumbs (碎屑 ) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question

47、 is:Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no“. When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping awa

48、y, and that bothers me“. But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy.
