We are all learning again, together as Chicago Cubs, as a society. It doesn’t happen too often, but there are specific mechanisms that trigger in life and change how society, whether it is American or international, behaves because of that life-changing event.
Medical threats that travel across borders are the worst, as we are experiencing today. We saw this in the HIV/AIDS epidemic where all life on the planet had to consider ‘safe sex’ or perhaps contract a killer disease. Other times, it’s been military threats that have altered behavior as Pearl Harbor did for those in the Pacific, or the 9/11 terrorist attacks did by changing all of American life.
