Saybrook Alum and Transformative Social Change Faculty Member Bob Flax, Ph.D. to Give Two Presentations in Seattle Area
Bob Flax, Ph.D.
In connection with his new position as Executive Director of Citizens for Global Solutions www.globalsolutions.org, Bob will present an alternative way to govern our world to prevent war, guarantee human rights, and ensure environmental sustainability.
Background: At the end of World War II, many considered ways to make sure we would never have a World War III. That led to the creation of the United Nations, with its primary purpose of
eliminating “the scourge of war”. Sadly, over 250 wars have occurred since the UN Charter was signed, demonstrating the limitations of its current structure. Similar limitations can be seen in resolving other pressing global problems.
However, at the time of the UN’s creation, an alternative way of organizing our world was proposed, which holds great promise for a brighter future. These presentations are about the path not taken . . .
The World is My Country
Burien Library, 400 SW 152nd St, Burien, WA
Wednesday, June 19th from 7-8:30 PM
Event Description:
In today’s world, all of our major problems have gone global; including war, terrorism, environmental crises, economic calamities, pandemics, and social injustice. Many of our human-made systems are global as well. However, the one significant thing that has not gone global is democracy. Could that be the cause of our global problems? This stimulating presentation will describe an alternative way to govern our world, where “We the people” are in charge. Many scholars and laypeople agree that only a global democracy can meet today’s toughest challenges. We’ll explore the history of this idea, the movement that grew out of it, the paths to getting there, and how it might work.
