nomination of the future President of the Situation Centre (Sitcen), it seemed interesting to get a better view of this European service that will celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Second World War and, after it, by the Cold War. The USA was, at this time, engaged in an affirmation of its model, advocating its capitalist system represented, in the country, by a growing bourgeois population and by a conservative society.

If you're shy, uncomfortable with public speaking, or new at activism, you may feel like you are all alone. But it only takes one individual to educate hundreds of people and affect their often-unwittingly self-destructive attitudes and lifestyles.
