Activism vs Governance
If you've seen the movie "Up in the Air", George Clooney and Anna Kendrick have contrasting approaches to delivering the same message. In fact Anna's approach was supposedly a modern trend, in tune with the cost saving measures that every company incorporates, but the repercussions were severe. On the same breath, think about the message of the effects of Global Warming on the environment. The message is well known, but the way the activists vouch for it versus how governments implement them, vastly differ. An activist is selfish about their cause, people in governance need to care about all aspects. An activist is vocal, steadfast and gives it their all, but they do it solely for the cause that is near and dear to them. While in governance, you need to care about everyone, including those who didn't vote for you, then agree on a compromise that would work out to be the best. With Greta's picture profiled, you can argue isn't the environment for everyone? Hold on to that thought, I will definitely come back to it.

There is more in common besides both countries calling it Soccer!
Close on the heels of a US judge dismissing the U.S. Women's Soccer Team's Equal Pay Claim, I wanted to take look at why the Australian Women's Soccer Team a.k.a The Matildas, were able to win their Equal Pay Claim not so long ago.
