Individual Values and Social Responsibility

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode Karin and Gloria discuss a social media post that states Americans infantilize ourselves and how that relates to shame, personal values, beliefs about cultural norms that hinder progress/action. After discussing what the prompt brought to the forefront for us individually, Gloria offers ideas for ways people can get involved and see the effects of action for themselves, others and their community. Is there willful ignorance? Do people understand or even care about how their representatives' decisions affect the larger world?
