The world is changing everyday. It's not the relaxed, safe place we once new when we were children. There are many people that refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. This effects us all, especially our personal safety. As a result personal morality and ethics are lacking in our world today. These days it is wise to understand your surroundings, have better awareness and be able to defend yourself if needed. Those who say, "it always happens to someone else, never me!" may regret those words if and when a tragedy strikes. Having the confidence to face our new culture is important for a happy and healthy life.
