Pace told me &#8220;individualization&#8221; has been promoted in society and the &#8220;most successful person&#8221; seems to be the one who has the most powerful job, most money, etc&#8230; So, in essence, they become the least reliant on others.

What&#8217;s more, Pace pointed out that often when someone is insulated with all their stuff, so to speak, it&#8217;s easier to overlook &#8220;the man sitting on the street&#8221; because you are so far removed from his\/her plight.  <strong>Note:<\/strong> This was our last interview at Koinonia Farm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier in the week, I interviewed Lyn Pace who is the Director of Service Learning at Wofford College in Spartanburg, North Carolina.
