“Is Democracy REALLY Threatened in America?” A narrative analysis perspective (free session open to all)
Those of us influenced by an Integral perspective generally believe that we are in the middle of another cultural stage transition from postmodern to whatever is next. For me, the very nature of these transitions can best be described as… the old stories are falling away as the new ones have yet to stabilize. According to our current Vital Signs narrative analysis the normal chaos, confusion and lack of grounding we are experiencing during this current transition is being further amplified in America as we attempt to move from white, patriarchal governance to a multi-cultural orientation without violence. When I left Integral Life at the end of 2018 I set out to conduct narrative analysis and create documentary media about the stories we were telling about the now and future. In mid-2023 our focus at Vital Signs of America zeroed in on a question I never thought I would ask in my life time… “is democracy really threatened in America?”
