Nationalism seems to re-emerging in recent times with the rise of such politicians such as Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in Great Brittan.
This Sunday we will review a video presentation on this subject by Yuval Harari and discuss the ideas presented in it.
Some things that might be discussed are:
o How did Nationalism come to be started from early tribes?
o Are Nations the right Framwork to meet Human Needs?
o What other forms of Economic and Polical Structures Might be Needed?
o Plus many more
We will watch about 30 minutes of this Video, then open the floor up to discuss the ideas presented. The discussion will be led by Carl Angotti, a long time Humanist Member.
