SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion: The Boat by Nam Le\, Stories 5-7 (Online)
DESCRIPTION:With a jaw-dropping versatility of voice and point of view\, The Boat is an extraordinary work of fiction that guides us to the heart of what it means to be human. The seven stories take us across the globe\, from the slums of Colombia to Iowa City; from the streets of Tehran to a foundering vessel in the South China Sea. \nAmong many accolades this book won Australian author Nam Le the 2008 Dylan Thomas Prize\, the world’s top cash prize for young writers. Michiko Kakutani (New York Times) called the opening story “a singular masterpiece.” \nAbout GLD \nLiterary works will be discussed based on what can be found in the text in order to enrich each other’s interpretation of the novel/novella. All are welcome to join and any edition or translation of the book under discussion can be used. Read the work in advance and be prepared to discuss the aspects of interest to you by referring to specific related text and reading it to the group. Moderated by Ethical NYC member Gunther Tielemans. \nFor access information\, please contact Gunther.

SUMMARY:Joe Chuman: "The Radical Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We Do Not Know" (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Platform in-person and online! \nWe celebrated Martin Luther King’s birthday last month and February is denoted as national Black History Month. In conjunction with spirit of season and with a renewed concern about racial issues\, I want to take a fresh look at the commitments of Martin Luther King. \nWhat most people know about King issues from his “I Have A Dream” Speech given at the march on Washington in August\, 1963. Hence King is often depicted as a “dreamer.” Yet\, my contention is that King was far more radical in his analysis of American society than the official story portrays. King held to a notion of structural racism rooted in capitalism and aligned with American militarism. It is not the King usually celebrated on official holidays\, but it is necessary that we look at this aspect of his life if we are to grasp the scope of King’s work and the farther reaches of his thoughts. \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated individuals are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Dan Hanson \nPartner Organization of the Month Collection: The Innocence Project \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings usually begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Ethical Culture philosophy. A collection basket is passed and money is shared between the Society and a charity selected for that day.  While contributions are always appreciated\, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public.  Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo view previous Sunday Platform addresses and interviews\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - M. Annenberg "What Don't We Know and Why Don't We Know It?" (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nAs a painter\, installation artist\, curator and climate activist\, M. Annenberg investigates the black holes of American journalism. Has the two minute sound bite failed the American people? \nAs we bear witness to the slippage of journalism in our time\, the problem of the omission of news\, especially the sparse reporting of climate studies\, is less well understood as a strategy\, that prevents civic engagement. \nIn this talk\, I will trace the decline of news coverage in the American mainstream press from the 1990’s to the present. Are our oceans acidifying? Are the glaciers melting? Will we breach 1.5 degrees of warming this decade? Is there a climate emergency? If so\, why don’t we all know it\, beyond a reasonable doubt? \nM. Annenberg is a Conceptual artist. Her paintings\, sculptures\, installations and videos focus on under-reported stories in American media\, concentrating on scientific studies and global warming. \nWhen she was represented by Flomenhaft Gallery\, she organized a panel there with Dr. Gavin Schmidt\, Director of NASA\, Goddard Institute for Space Studies\, entitled\, Art\, Activism and Global Warming. She co-curated an exhibit with Eleanor Flomenhaft\, entitled EARTH SOS\, at Flomenhaft Gallery\, Dr. James Hansen former Director\, NASA\, GISS\, was guest speaker. \nPrinceton University’s Bernstein Gallery hosted a lecture that Annenberg gave in conjunction with her one artist exhibit\, News/ Not News. She has been a guest panelist at the Bruce High Quality Foundation University\, Artists Talk on Art\, NYC\, Soho House and the UN Program of the Women’s Caucus for Art. \nAnnenberg’s paintings are in the permanent collections of museums in Lithuania\, Israel\, England and the USA. The BBC included her artwork in the documentary\, The Private Life of a Masterpiece:” The Third of May”. She was named by Origin Magazine as one of America’s Top 100 Creatives in 2015. \nAnnenberg’s recent artwork deconstructs the reporting of five major climate studies –The Emissions Gap Report\, 2019\, The National Climate Assessment\, the Paris Climate Treaty\, the UN’s 5th IPCC Report and the Hindu Kush Himalayan Assessment. \nShe recently curated an exhibit entitled\, “Earth on the Edge”\, December 14-24\, 2021\, at Ceres Gallery\, NYC. Dr. Klaus Jacobs\, Geophysicist\, Earth Institute\, spoke on sea level rise on December 18\, 2021 at the gallery. \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated individuals are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Sarah Sprott \nPartner Organization of the Month Collection: The Innocence Project \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Peter T. Coleman: 'The Way Out: How to Overcome Toxic Polarization' (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nThe partisan divide in the United States has widened to a chasm. Legislators vote on party lines and rarely cross the aisle. Political polarization is personal too—and it is making us miserable. Surveys show that Americans have become more fearful and hateful of supporters of the opposing political party and imagine that they hold much more extreme views than they actually do. We have cordoned ourselves off; we prefer to date and marry those with similar opinions and are less willing to spend time with people on the other side. \nHow can we loosen the grip of this toxic polarization and start working on our most pressing problems? The Way Out offers an escape from this morass\, a guide to breaking free from the cycle of mutual contempt in order to better our lives\, relationships\, and country. \nPeter Coleman explores how conflict resolution and complexity science provide guidance for dealing with seemingly intractable political differences. Deploying the concept of attractors in dynamical systems\, he explains why we are stuck in this rut as well as the unexpected ways that deeply entrenched oppositions can and do change. \nColeman meticulously details principles and practices for navigating and healing the difficult divides in our homes\, workplaces\, and communities\, blending compelling personal accounts from his years of working on entrenched conflicts with lessons from leading-edge research. \nPeter T. Coleman is professor of psychology and education at Columbia University\, where he holds a joint appointment at Teachers College and the Earth Institute and directs two research centers. In addition to recently published The Way Out: How to Overcome Toxic Polarization\, he is the author of Making Conflict Work: Navigating Disagreement Up and Down Your Organization and The Five Percent: Finding Solutions to Seemingly Impossible Conflicts\, among other books. \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated individuals are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Leader Nori Rost \nShared Charity: West Side Federation for Senior and Supported Housing \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Thought Salon (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Are you searching for the opportunity to “think out loud” in a respectful and supportive space? Do you love asking questions instead of taking things at face value? Do you want to become a more reflective thinker? We revive the lost art of conversation and fine-tune our critical thinking skills\, opening our minds to new perspectives and possibilities! Dilemmas\, brief readings\, life’s questions\, and personal experience are used as a catalyst for dialogue. \nLimited to 20 participants; NYSEC members only. (Except for non-members already in group who will be “grandfathered” in.) If you would like to try the group or become an ongoing member\, please email Maggie Determann at mdetermann@nysec.org. Sandi Sacks moderates. 2nd Tuesdays.
