The Big Picture

Regarding our Economy and Society, should we protect what is good in them, adapt them to changes in the World, or actively work to make them better? *

Protect

Adapt

Improve

In one sentence, why? (OPTIONAL)

0/50 words

As adults, should we be wary of strangers or approachable? *

We should be wary

We should be warily approachable

We should be approachable

Please select the description fits you . *

Wary Protector: I focus on building our Economy & Society and resisting change coming from the outside.

Open Protectors: I think we have absorbed as much change as we can. We need to “go back to basics” if we ever are going to move forward again.

Wary Adapters: I focus on strengthening our Economy & Society in ways that, when necessary, accommodate change coming from the outside.

Open Adapters: I focus on incorporating “best practices” no matter where they come form and on integrating our Economy & Society in the modern globalized/globalizing context.

Wary Improvers: I focus on Progress, on building the best country we can, a great place to live and an example to the world.

Open Improvers: I focus on restoring America’s ability to progress by fitting the US Economy & Society into the modern globalized/globalizing context.

LOOK HERE FOR HELP ANSWERING THE ABOVE QUESTION

(If you don't identify wholeheartedly with any one group, please the one you object to least.)

Wary Protectors focus “minding our own business.” We can control things inside our country and change forced on us by the outside world just degrades our Economy & Society.

Wary Adapters think change can be for the better but is often for the worse. Their wariness reduces the information they absorb about what they consider to be the “external” context of America’s Economy & Society, weakening the traction made possible by their realistic attitude.

Wary Improvers accept the need for change. They want to create the best Economy & Society our country is capable of, for ourselves and as an example to the world.

Open Improvers embrace change and look at other countries for strategies to move our Economy & Society forward once again. They are desperate for the traction and, while not pessimistic, one senses that they foresee failure.

Open Adapters think change can be for the better but is often for the worse. Like wary Adapters, they tend to include other cultures in their search for strategies, but they are judicious about what they suggest we adopt. They do not “translate,” they “interpret.”

Open Protectors resist change that they feel degrades our Economy & Society. They focus on a threatened national core of beliefs, values, and a common narrative. Open Protectors focus less on things like infrastructure and more on the disruption of our culture by Globalization.
