DAY OF THE YEAR (10 -SEPTEMBER -2018)
1. WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY
There’s been a rising epidemic in the US, and that epidemic is suicide. If we don’t know someone who had committed suicide, it’s almost certain that we know someone who has attempted it. Suicide is a problem that affects all age groups, genders, and social strata, and it seems sometimes to be utterly inescapable. World Suicide Prevention Day raises awareness about this tragic issue and works to prevent it through education and support of those who struggle with suicidal ideation every day.
History of World Suicide Prevention Day
It’s a tragic situation, with the death toll coming in at 42,773 people committing suicide each year in the United States alone, and for each one of those 25 people made the attempt. Over the world it’s even greater, an estimated 800,000 people commit suicide each year throughout the world, which is one every 40 seconds. What’s incredible is that just like the US statistic, it’s estimated that 25 times that attempt it, 4 million people over the world every year. There’s something of a ripple down effect that happens as well, those bereaved by the loss of a loved one to suicide are themselves more likely to commit suicide.
Thankfully there are organizations like the World Health Organization who fight to combat this epidemic. With the philosophy of ‘Connect, Communicate, Care’ they work to create a world in which suicide rates are reduced or even eliminated.
2. TV DINNER DAY
“TV Dinners are the communion served as part of the religious service that is prime time. The gravy is the blood, the salisbury steak the flesh of Johnny Carson, hallowed be his name.”~ Anonymous
Since the creation of the TV, it has served as the glowing light of benevolence in the living rooms of families everywhere. They gathered to bond over their favorite shows, and to unwind at the end of the day. TV Dinners were created to help ease this transition, making life easier on the busy housewife and food prompt and warm for the doting husband. American may have changed since then, but TV Dinner Day celebrates the fact that these quick and easy cuisines are still around, and very much a part of our day to day lives.
3. BOSS/ EMPLOYEE EXCHANGE DAY
It sounds like the answer to every downtrodden wageslave’s prayers – Boss/Employee Exchange Day when workers and bosses swap roles. A day when bosses answer the phone, make the coffee (two sugars, please) and deal with that awkward customer. Workers, meanwhile, get to play golf in the boardroom.
Practically speaking, however, when there are lots of employees and only one boss, switching roles is fairly unworkable. So, Boss/Employee Exchange Day is less about doing one another’s job, and more about exchanging ideas. What could make the employee’s day easier? How can we improve this company? What can the boss do about his lamentable swing? You get the idea.
