We do not live in a culture based on solving problems through Dialogue. We live in a culture based on Obedience and Conformity.
The result is a lot of problems and suffering that we take for granted are “natural problems” as, for example, racism, discrimination, bullying/mobbing, aggression and anxiety/angst. I call this trap The Roman Trick.
Or like this. The present passion for Dictatorships is, of course, an effect of that today's schools, universities and massmedia train the people to submit to Obedience and Conformity.
It is not enough to complain or protest. We need to begin to build a new culture.
