Miscellaneous
After taking one year off to teach “Forums for a Future” as a university honors course, I am now ready to continue the series. The continuation will apply the concepts developed in the first 16 episodes to an open-end list of contemporary social issues. As a way to get started, I have created a three-part “Review and Transition” (Podcasts 17-19) to provide a brief summary and introduction for those new to the series, and a quick review for the original subscribers. Today’s episode, Podcast # 21, is the second in the open-ended series of positive approaches for addressing the many specific contemporary economic, social and political issues that challenge our capacity for having a future in the 21st Century. In today's podcast, I suggest globalization is our inescapable new reality. Thus, the issue is how to make globalization work by relinquishing old inappropriate beliefs from the Modern Era and replacing them with new ones that can embrace and contain our new realities.
