    Default God, grant me the serenity...

    Circa 1981, psychology 101... taught us that resilience was a personal trait and by no means something conventional. Rather, an individual trait with core values at the root. Something to the tune of being able to effectively deal with things efficiently in spite of the level of difficulty.

    It used to be called Primary and Secondary Control. But, never conventional.

    The use of "resilience" as buzzword isn't about individuals, but about groups (companies, forces, communities, industrial sectors, nations).

    It's typical for buzzwords that a entirely normal word is being mis-used in a different, slightly related meaning.
