Website Helps Us Rethink Our World
The mission of the new website Global-MindShift.org supports the fact that to enable a global dialogue is to enable the future of humanity. "We live in a global community, but still think with a tribal mentality," says its executive director, Kern Beare. This online space is a place where issues may be transcended "by what unites us as a human family."
Begun as a project of the Palo Alto-based Foundation for Global Community, the goal is to help engage 20 percent of the world’s people in conversation about what living in a global community really means. This non-profit harnesses the power of the internet aided by networking tools to help people connect, converse and collaborate. The hoped-for result includes creative solutions to global crises.
Pioneering sociologist Dr. Everett Rodgers, author of Diffusion of Innovations, held that when 5 percent of a population adopts a new idea, it becomes embedded in the culture. When 20 percent adopt it, it is "unstoppable."
