Dr. Jason Hill - Global Citizens or Tribal Divisionists: Which Are You? December 1, 2005

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP: AN URGENT CALL TO TRANSCEND OUR TRIBAL IDENTITIES
http://www.wie.org/voices/event.asp?id=hill-dec01-05

Dr. Jason Hill, provocative Jamaican-born philosopher and author of the critically acclaimed book ?Becoming a Cosmopolitan: What It Means to Be a Human Being in the New Millennium?, speaks for one night only in this important and timely event presented by VOICES FROM THE EDGE international speakers series.
Today, as Paris burns with ethnic riots, we see tribalism erupting all over the globe as racism, nationalism, sexism, and ethnocentrism. In Iraq and the Middle East, France and the Baltic States, Rwanda and Sudan, and right here within the gangs and wealthy elite of America, these limiting perspectives force us to dehumanize others while eclipsing our understanding of right and wrong.
What are the effects of this cultural foe and how do we move beyond it?

It promises to be a groundbreaking talk and will be followed by what we hope, with your participation, will be a groundbreaking question and answer session.
