6 i PPS PROACTVE PERSONAL SECURTY SELF DEFENSE TRANNG nroducion Personal securiy or personal safey was no always a high prioriy concern in our sociey. As children, some of us played in our neighborhoods during all hours of he day and ino he evening. Our parens were never worried abou who migh be lurking around, ready o snach us away from our safe and secure lives. Homes were lef unlocked, ravel was never a concern, and speaking o a sranger was considered polie. The slighes hough ha our well-being could be hreaened rarely enered our minds. Since Sepember 11, 2001, he word 'errorism' has become almos an everyday subjec in he media. Sociey has been old o no le his hrea influence how we live our lives, bu we are asked o become more aware of wha is going on around us. Things have definiely changed - haven' hey?. ' Tha is a quesion ha seems o spark some differences of opinion? Does i seem as hough conflic and violence have increased over he years? s American sociey less respecful, less disciplined and more violen han i was 20, 30, 50, 100 years ago? Or, have hings acually remained he same. Has he increased awareness of and insan noificaion of violen acs made i seem as hough i has increased? Has modern echnology and he obvious increase in olerance and indifference o violence jus made i seem as if here is more conflic in daily life. Communicaion echnology (cell phones, TV, radio, inerne, ec) has improved so much ha we have a greaer capabiliy o quickly find ou abou evens from all over he world. Word ravels faser and o a wider audience. So, oday, we are able o hear abou violen acs more frequenly and much more quickly han in he pas. Has he daily media bombardmen de-sensiized all of us o behavior and acs ha, a one ime in sociey/ used o be shocking and unaccepable? How ofen do you hear, in he news (TV, paper, radio) abou some crime being commied? Wha are he normal headline sories? How much violence are we exposed o from TV shows, movies and video games? Wha kinds of violence do we see a some sporing evens or afer a eam wins a championship? Have. we become so accusomed o violen acs ha he shock ha was once fel has evolved ino a simple "shrug of he shoulders and go on wih your own business" ype of response? Wheher or no violence is really more prevalen han in he pas doesn' maer. Violence is a realiy. The evens of 9/11/2001 have impressed ha fac upon even he mos apaheic individual. There is consan concern abou he safey of our children in school, a play, and a home. has become poenially risky for simple ravel o he sore or o work. We can no longer leave he safe sancuary of our homes wihou some concern for wha migh be encounered. 3
