Was looking for a pre-class video and settled in on MJs classic Man in the Mirror to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning. In looking for the video, there are two official versions. The one posted below is they one you would have seen on MTV when the song came out in January of 1988 (the other official video is concert-based with fewer cultural references and more fainting teens). I was struck watching this 1988 video how little things have changed (terrorism, natural disasters, famine, war, and the list goes on and on) while the major actors have. If youre of a certain age, youll understand images of released hostages or a little girl rescued from a well. Its disheartening to see the handshake of peace brokered by then President Carter, knowing the challenges in the region today. Its refreshing to be reminded of the humble work of Sister Theresa. We will always need to make the change by taking a look in the mirror, time and time again. And so it goes... vimeo/25482821
