The Empathic Civilization

Jeremy Rifkin | Ross Institute – TRANSCEND Media Service
Jeremy Rifkin argues that society has been living off outdated ideas that are increasingly dysfunctional and that we need to actively work to change our mode of consciousness. With a belief that human beings are ‘soft wired’ for empathy, he pleads for educators and society at large to nurture and cultivate this empathy in students in an effort to form a global, biospheric consciousness.
