The Empathic Civilization--You Tube video
Check out this very fast yet immensely comprehensive lecture on the origin of empathy and the creation of an empathic civilization by Jeremy Rifkin, the American economist, writer, public speaker, political advisor and activist. Rifkin is the founder and president of the Foundation On Economic Trends and his works explore the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society, and the environment, and now, on the origin and future of ethics. This is a fast-paced lecture which takes only a little over 10 minutes. Very engaging.
It continues our conversation, associated with our IN Focus theme on Poverty and Inequality, on how do we generate empathy for all people everywhere and eventually for the planet.
