St. Louis occupies a diverse region in the middle of the United States. It is divided into many townships, some of which are misnamed cities, and many cultural backgrounds abound. This city possesses a great cultural history, from which it derives both weakness and strength. The weakness springs from a lack of communication between the various subcultures. The strength springs from the sense of individuality that we all gain from knowing that we have our own, unique cultural background. Unfortunately, the current economic times have enhanced our weakness, not our strength. People feel frustrated and angry, they fear for their jobs, and even those who can find work cannot make enough money to do as well as (much less better than) their parents have done. Regardless of our individual heritage, we will suffer dramati cally from the current budget cuts which force our educational institutions to reduce the curriculum, staff and faculty. In addition, our governments (at all levels) face-and sometimes cause-serious trouble. When we cannot turn to our government for help and leadership during times of such turmoil, we stop working together and start working for survival. This "survival of the fittest" mentality splits us further into cultural subgroups, which can have disastrous results. It seems we may have lost hope, and fear has become our primary motivator. This is a time for us all to look into each other's eyes and see that we are all human beings with something to contribute to the betterment of our society. If we work together across racial, religious, or other party lines, we can turn things around. It has worked in the past. Our city and our country cannot compete in an international business world without learning how to respect others for their unique cultural heritage, and we should start showing this respect right here at home. • Don't Take The Med ia Laying Down At All Cru e ia I SG A EI eet Ion by David Workman ten~onally .but has developed into a is it changed in the media?
