"The Zanders bring their message home with the "WE story." As I was reading, I kept thinking the sports mantra "there is no I in team."At first I was a bit distracted by the capitalization of WE throughout the final chapter. In the world of online etiquette, capitals generally mean shouting, but then I realized that maybe WE should be shouting for joy at the possibilities that WE collectively can enjoy. The capitalized "WE" is all inclusive. This proved to be the case as the authors discussed "we," meaning you and I, and referred to the sense of compromise that viewpoint implies."
I like your connection of this week's reading to the mantra you stated above. As the 'WE' is all about teamwork.
In some cultures there is no reference to 'I' and only "We" when people speak. In addition, Pop Star Madonna has caught on to the use of 'We' in her documentary I Am Because We Are. http://www.hulu.com/i-am-because-we-are
