Host Robert Strock discusses the current psycho-political environment. We're currently in a time where COVID-19 and natural disasters have highlighted individual and societal vulnerability. Before COVID-19, there was a great amount of disconnection between those with the financial means and power and those struggling to survive day to day. There's now a profound sense of equal vulnerability to disease and natural disasters. We need a growing understanding of the disparity— yet connection— between the poor, rich, and everyone in between.
Strock calls for change in how children are raised and educated from a young age through to adulthood into the highest degree programs. There's also a driving need for everyone to affect change through the power of the vote. As citizens and political leaders look outside themselves to the greater whole, the United States can stand as a leader for the world. Our society and elected officials can lead by doing what's right for the world, not just one country or entity. The overarching goal is to change perceptions and behavior so that individuals and society care and act for humanity as a whole.
