Discussion: Humanitys social evolution

What happens to smaller identities as we
acnkowledge a larger identity that we can
participate in?

Is there an obligatory contradiction between one
form of identity and the other?

How does an understanding of the social evolution
of humanity help us cultivate our world citizenship?
2: Unity in diversity

Unity in uniformity: not good.

Discussion: Unity in diversity

What can unity in uniformity mean?

What can division in diversity mean?

Do competition and domination make sense in a
culture that is based on unity in diversity ?
 What other principles of interactions emerge?

In the human body analogy, a minimum shared
purpose appears: keeping the whole healthy. Can
you propose other purposes?
3: Abandoning all forms of przejudicze
Discussion: abandoning prejudices

Can you identify prejudices that you were exposed to in
your childhood and youth?

Abandoning prejudices might sound too oversimple:
which steps can you identify in the process of abandoning
prejudices?

Assuming abandoning prejudices weve grown with is
achievable, how would our interactions change when we
have dumped the prejudice filter?
Thank you!
