Why Haven’t We Done Better? How Can We Do Better?

We Use A Flawed Paradigm

Medical/Clinical Paradigm Looks at deficits or deficiencies Looks at deficits or deficiencies Separates and congregates Separates and congregates Relies on Experts to make decisions Relies on Experts to make decisions Attempts to fix the person Attempts to fix the person

Detailed Medical Paradigm The person is the problem The person is the problem The problem is in the person The problem is in the person The person is labeled The person is labeled The label leads to separation The label leads to separation The experts do an assessment The experts do an assessment The person gets a treatment plan The person gets a treatment plan The program attempts to fix the problem The program attempts to fix the problem

“To think is to differ” ~C. Darrow

“Social problems stem not from individual differences or deficits, but from the failure of society to meet the needs of all its members” L. Gutierez

Community Community is a network of different people who come together on a regular basis for some common cause or celebration Community is a network of different people who come together on a regular basis for some common cause or celebration Key Ingredients of Community are: Key Ingredients of Community are:CommonalityDifferenceRegularity

Similarities vs. Differences When people first meet they are drawn by their similarities, but differences can (and do) push us apart. What mitigates this struggle are two critical ingredients: Regularity/Frequency of exchange Regularity/Frequency of exchange More Similarity that people find More Similarity that people find

Magic of Community When Similarities Override Differences

He who would be a leader, let him first become a bridge.

The Bridgebuilder An old man going a lone highway, came at the evening cold and gray, to a chasm vast deep and wide; the old man crossed in the twilight dim, the sullen stream held no fear for him, but he turned when safe on the other side and built a bridge to span the tide.

“Old man” said a fellow pilgrim near, “you are wasting your time with building here, you never again will pass this way, your journey will end with the close of the day, you have crossed the chasm deep and wide, why build you this bridge at even tide.”

The builder lifted his old gray head. “Good friend, in the way that I’ve come,” he said. “There follows after me this day, a youth whose feet must pass this way. This stream which has been nothing to me, to the fair haired youth might a pitfall be. Yes he too must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge – for him.”

“We must become the change we wish to create.” Gandhi

“In a new sense, all life is interrelated. All persons are caught up in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be, until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
