Would the U.S. be better [View all]
If business and theological degree programs included required courses teaching compassion?
I can't help thinking of all of the cutthroat actions that have become the norm in American culture. Can't help seeing that food, shelter, health care, voting districts, the federal budget have all become weapons. We talk about Dems bringing knives to gunfights, but time was, these things were not weapons as a matter of course. Our elected leadership are humans, who I hope became politicians with noble aims. It took them awhile to realize they were wearing suits and the opposition was wearing combat gear. It is shameful that half the people in the U.S. think that it's okay to deny people basic decent living conditions, and find more and more ways to make living unbearable.
The influence has to come from somewhere. Business and theological models might be items that could do with a revamp, as it seems like venture capitalism and religion for profit have plowed the shining city on the hill into rubble.
