The great catastrophes of the twentieth century were not caused by a lack of values but by the belief that one truth must prevail.

Pluralism means accepting that no single worldview can dominate society.

Americans’ Long Love/Hate Relationship With Work From the Protestant work ethic to “rage quitting,” American attitudes about their work are driven by its promise of prosperity—and its precarious nature.

A systems perspective is needed.
