"Revolutions and the Future of Democracy"

Former MP and current CUC Board Member Hon. John Reid will speak about a few “knowledge revolutions” we have gone through in our lifetimes, their impact on individuals, organizations, governments and nation states, and the limits of our ability to cope with these changes. We come of age with certain inherited assumptions, but these assumptions are constantly being upset by rapid changes that challenge their validity resulting in a loss of stability in our world. It is no wonder that many are unable to make sense of this rapidly evolving world and so John proposes some approaches we should take to lessen the deterioration of our democracy.
