The symbolic representations of our shared values leave powerful messages for the next generation to inherit. The crucial process of introspectively taking inventory, questioning and challenging our own inherited messages (and our method for decision making) is a process that will require intentional effort and courage. This process will leave a legacy of reconciliation for the next generation, if each do our part. Isn’t it worth it? Slide9Slide10
“When debates turn ugly and accusations and personal attacks fly back and forth, we can be sure that what’s at stake is something larger and deeper than the issue at hand. Even more important - given how these things usually go - it’s unlikely that the worldview differences that are actually driving the conflict will ever be named, much less examined or discussed, which is why such debates are so unproductive and keep coming back (in different forms and issues).”
Slide11
What is the content of your worldview? Ask yourself these questions if you want to go deeper…What is the basis for believing my worldview is true? Careful study, comprehensive body of evidence? Stories? Personal experience? Gut feeling?
What happens if I assume that the person I disagree with is every bit as intelligent, thoughtful and well-intentioned. How would this affect my understanding of the disagreement and my part in it?
What does it mean to seriously consider that a view that contradicts my own might be true? (even partially) What does this consideration require of me?
Is it possible that both opposing views have some element of truth, rather than dichotomous views?
What is at stake for us if our view is challenged? What is the investment we have in being right, what do we lose if we are wrong?
What are the social consequences of adopting one worldview or another? What are the effects for members in our society if we answer sociological questions one way or another? Who will pay the price for our decisions?
