Capitalism's grow-or-die imperative stands radically at odds with ecology's imperative of interdependence and limit. The two imperatives can no longer coexist with each other; nor can any society founded on the myth that they can be reconciled hope to survive. Either we will establish an ecological society or society will go under for everyone, irrespective of his or her status.

Dance into English

Function: Song

Words: 0

Duration: 1:44

Aim: None - BGM for activities, timing events or just to enjoy

A refreshing alternative to using a timer for an activity is to use a specific piece of background music. Depending upon the activity music can encourage participation. It also gives feedback to the participants about remaining time in a way that the dead silence of a timer does not.

Dance into English was used at a Japanese kindergarten that had an all-day English program. Every day one class would do all their activities in English. At lunch time both English and Japanese were used. The music served as a transition back into "English Time", hence its name.
