【正文】 re doing better every year with productivity, but median wages are there’s actually been in all this socalled recovery a 4 percent increase in the percentage of people working fulltime falling below the poverty line, and a 4 percent increase in the percentage of people working, who with their families, have lost their health ’s an unequal ’s an uncertain, insecure time because we’re all vulnerable to terror, to weapons of mass destruction, to global pandemics like avian all make fun of the modern media and culture all the time, but I thought it was interesting in my little house in Chappaqua, where I stay home alone rooting for the candidate [LAUGHTER], I watch the evening news in the last few months, and it’s , clawing its way through the stories of the latest crime endeavor in our neighborhood and whether Britney Spears’ hair has grown out or not, I have learned that there were chickens in Romania, India and Indonesia identified with avian influenza and that every chicken within three square miles, those unfortunate ones, was the evening news, peting with Britney Spears and ? That’s a good thing because of the shared insecurity we all saw it this week in all of the stories about the terrorist attack being thwarted in Kennedy remember a few months ago, everybody I knew was shaking their head when we found out that there was a plot in London to put explosive chemicals in a baby bottle to make it look like formula to evade the airport every time I ask somebody, I said did you feel a chill go up and down your spine, they said yeah, they they can imagine being on the airplane, or in my case, I could imagine my daughter, who has to travel a lot on her job, being on the here’s what I want to tell you about inequality is fixable and the insecurity is ’re going to really have to go some in the 21st century to see political violence claim as many innocent lives as it did in the 20th in mind you had what, 12 million people killed in World War I, somewhere between 15 and 20 million in World War II, six million in the Holocaust, six million Jews, three million million in the political purges in the former Soviet Union between the two world wars and one million in Cambodia in tribal wars in untold but large number in the Chinese Cultural mean, we’re going to have to really get after it, if you expect your generation to claim as many innocents from political violence as was claimed in the 20th difference is you think it could be you this of the interdependence of the yes, it’s insecure but it’s ’s also an unsustainable world because of climate change, resource depletion, and the fact that between now and 2050, the world’s supposed to grow from six and a half to nine billion people, with most of the growth in the countries least able to handle it, under today’s conditions, never mind ’s all fixable, is climate change a problem? Is resource depletion a problem? Is poverty and the fact that 130 million kids never go to school and all this disease that I work on a problem? You bet it I believe the most important problem is the way people think about it and each other, and world is awash today in political, religious, almost psychological conflicts, which require us to divide up and demonize people who aren’t every one of them in one way or the other is premised on a very simple our differences are more important than our mon would argue that Mother Teresa was asked here, Bono was asked here, and Martin Luther King was asked here because this class believed that they were people who thought our mon humanity was more important than our differences [APPLAUSE].So with this Harvard degree and your incredible minds and your spirits that I’ve gotten a little sense of today, this gives you virtually limitless you have to decide how to think about all this and what to do with your own life in terms of what you really hope that you will share Martin Luther King’s dream, embrace Mandela’s spirit of reconciliation, support Bono’s concern for the poor and follow Mother Teresa’s life into some active people have more power to do public good than ever before because of the rise of nongovernmental organizations, because of the global media culture, because of the Internet, which gives people of modest means the power, if they all agree, to change the former President Bush and I were asked to work on the tsunami, before we did the Katrina work, Americans, many of whom could not find the Maldives or Sri Lanka on a map, gave $ billion to tsunami percent of our households of them gave over the Internet, which means you don’t even have to be rich to change the world if enough people agree with we have to do service is a tradition in our country about as old as Harvard, and certainly older than the Franklin organized the first volunteer fire department in Philadelphia 40 years before the Constitution was de Tocqueville came here in 1835, he talked among other things about how he was amazed that Americans just were always willing to step up and do something, not wait for someone else to do we have in America a 1,010,000 nongovernmental counting 355,000 religious groups, most of whom are involved in some sort of work to help other has a million registered, over a half a million has 280,000 registered and twice that many not registered because they don’t want to be has 400,000, so many that President Putin is trying to restrict wish he wouldn’t do that, but it’s a highclass were no NGOs in Russia or China when I became president in over the world we have people who know that they can do things to change, but again, I will say to all of you, there is no challenge we face, no barrier to having your grandchildren here on this beautiful site 50 years from now, more profound than the ideological and emotional divide which continues to demean our mon life and undermine our ability to solve our mon simple idea that our differences are more important than our mon the human genome was sequenced, and the most in
