What Issues Pose a Threat to Those Core Values?
June 4th, 2008 | by Scott |The next thing we were asked to participate in was a brainstorming of ideas of issues that serve as roadblocks in our current society to achieving and maintaining those core values.
I don’t have access to what I put down but it was along the lines of these:
War/Violence/Abuse
Poverty
Environmental Excess
Literalism
Exclusionism
There were more but that will suffice for now.
What are your thoughts on issues that pose a threat?

I had a form of economic materialism on my list, i think you are right.
Len, it all boils down to self, doesn’t it?
Good stuff.

Globalization and the Frankenstein-like nature of free market capitalism. These feed into three of the four items on your list.

I was going to say something along the line of greed and money. But the term of economic materialism sums it up so much better. Really it is the root of many of the issues in the original list.
