Produktbeschreibung
Is there an "American idea," a shared understanding of the character and meaning embodied in American history? Would you like to think there is, or could be? What would you like to see accepted or discarded among the values, qualities, or attributes that contribute to our national character? How would you talk about this if you were to consider the question with friends and neighbors? This book offers a brief review of the history of ideas and influences that have made the United States what it is, followed by a proposal: A practical long-term strategy for making such dialogue possible among genuinely concerned citizens. To pull ourselves out of downward spiraling chaos and degradation we must awaken a positive, problem-solving spirit, which can only be made possible among receptive friends and neighbors. You are invited to consider engaging in a meaningful community-based dialogue that rises above our differences. Hard times are bearing down on us. We need dependable neighbors with whom we can think, live, and work with-safely, effectively, honestly. Where do we start? Our challenges are severe and our circumstances are in disarray. Yet, we are not without a foundation of shared principles and values. A common truth is to be found in loyal commitment, mutual assistance, and generosity of spirit.
