Citizenship

[close] This global discussion group has been designed to encourage debates about important and underreported issues of our era. All you need is an enquiring mind and a desire to gain or share “underground knowledge”. This is also a place to discuss the controversial topics explored in The Underground Knowledge Series (non-fiction books) by James Morcan & Lance Morcan as well as the Underground Knowledge podcast show.

[close] Hello, and welcome! RAMP--the "Rehumanizing America" Project--is simply an effort to discover why we are increasingly divided in this country and what we as individuals can do about it. The Library for RAMP, then, will not belong to any one discipline, but will reach across a range of disciplines that explore why we are who we are (as humans, as Americans, etc.) and what we can do to overcome our hidden biases, tribal defensiveness, and dehumanizing tendencies. Feel free to add books to the bookshelf, and please consider adding your reflective notes about the book, your thoughts as to how it relates to this group, a simple note of, "Looks interesting!" for those discovered but not yet read, etc. Feel free to also list in the comments sections any other resources (videos, articles, organizations, etc.) that speak to these issues. Thanks so much for being a part of this community! I can't wait to see what we will uncover! :) Best, Heather

[close] For over a quarter century, we have lived in an increasingly connected world. The rules and guidelines of journalism, media, and government are changing dynamically around us. Our modern world challenges us to connect more genuinely and deeply than ever before - and sometimes more than is comfortable. This group explores titles that help us connect to ourselves and to others. By strengthening our ability to connect genuinely, we can work towards stronger, more open, and more honest relationships in our interdependent world.
