Thank you for this dialogue on politics.<br> Funda, What you write here seems to me as the fundamentals of democracy. Where the democracy's gone ? Since representative model does not work and seems to lead to corruption and special interests, I think it is high time for participative democracy. We have to teach participative democracy to children and the youth. And OST is a great tool for the endeavor. <br> <br> Louise Brissette<br> un leadership créateur pour une écologie du travail<br> +1 514.271.0318<br> ipse@videotron.ca<br> leadershipcreateur.wordpress.com<br><br><b><i>Funda Oral <fundaoral@ttnet.net.tr></i></b> a écrit :<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Date : Sun, 17 Sep 2006 19:45:29 +0300<br>De : Funda Oral <fundaoral@ttnet.net.tr><br>Objet: Re: humanizing politics... longish<br>À : OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU<br><br> <meta

He formed the "San Francisco Group" with some other colleagues. You may find the basics of this at: </div> <div> </div> <div><a href="http://www.businessballs.com/transact.htm">http://www.businessballs.com/transact.htm</a></div> <div> </div> <div>2) When referring to "western societes" I meant (now I perceive that I was wrong) the values some authors and people living in this hempisphere attributed to Occidental and Christian
societies.</div> <div> </div> <div>By reading magazines, watching news and working with groups in Bolivia as well as in Peru, I have found some trends with increased force in the political (exercise of power) field: corruption is common place, there is little or no shame at all with regard to "social criticism"; politicians and social leaders have very few concern about the trascendent goals of their role in making their countries and institutions a better place (reducing poverty, promoting social inclusion etc.). Of course something is being done, but from the outside; I think that in this way only little change could be brought (anyway, it is better than nothing). Humanizing politics or politicizing humans could lead to the same objective, but please give me some additional concepts with regard to your proposal. <br> </div> <div>I appreciate your support and contributions. Good luck always</div>
