Worldview
NOTE: The worldview presented here (using the present tense) envisions a systemic reform movement that promotes replacing our current Top-Down System with a Bottom-Up System rooted in new, egalitarian social structures.
Social
Human beings are social creatures. Their multiple identities are rooted in various communities. Interpersonal interactions are critical to their quality of life.
There’s no irreconcilable conflict between the individual and the community. It takes a group to change an individual and individuals to change the world. The more others thrive, the more we thrive, and vice versa.
With nonviolent communication, people identify specific offensive or irritating actions and report how they reacted. In this way, they avoid demeaning labels.
Institutions maximize peer learning, mutual support, client empowerment, self-development, and community engagement.
