2. Consciousness Raising
by Daniel Keeran, MSW, Victoria, Canada
Consciousness raising in all areas of society,
including the home, workplace, and schools,
encourages respectful conversations on any aspect
of values and beliefs: Christian, Muslim, Jewish,
Buddhist, atheist, etc. (as long as the goals of the
organization are being met, e.g. generating
revenue).
In this way, the spiritual and philosophical
consciousness of people can be raised and the
range of choices can be broadened.
The first challenge is to learn and apply
principles of respectful conversation.
