Cultural Codes, Global Maps and Human Emergence Don Edward Beck, PhD; Elza Maalouf, JD; Bruce Gibb, PhD

 
This presentation will feature Spiral Dynamics, a biopsychosocial and value system driven framework and illustrate its role in diagnosing and defusing "us -vs- them" polarity. The focus will be on eight primary worldviews: how they emerge and why they fight. We will describe Muzafer Sherif's Robber's Cave experiment, the assimilation-contrast effect, and specific applications in South Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
