So when you go over this qui y quickly, it basically turns the question around being asked by so many now, what does history tell us outfit survived . A weless perspective. We look back best tested very racies broadly defined. Republican rome. Great britain looking in american democracy. Reduce heat privatization between republicans and democracy. We wanted to widen and say people are selfgoverning about what that means in terms survival when it was going strong later didnt■] want it when things are going doing about what was making thems dee strong and on for hundreds of years■ even though they eventually did surmise. So we reframed democracy idea of organ basically that are to govern yourself as an agreement how are we going to do this . The more i get it negotiating out critical elements; democrac e idea came up with from acute rrnances you dont have a cost. Oss and i said thats right, how to add. Do, e. In the book we People Living together no boss at 701 of the and the bargain they make, tms o pray security for all of us about welfare. Yoave a level of care as opposed to being out on your own. Make it bargain alive. We have to be willing to compromise with one another. We dont have a boss publicly how to self adjust. She told what you need to do isa critical part of making democracy work. At the historiess that came studies next good faithh]ut in general they figure out how to opt, great. We have to get to working agreement with one another how we will refill it. Our concept of aristotle dour ps of everybody does not mean he will with the does not mean youre always delighted everybody but you have to treat everybody with a certain level of respect the bargain alive go to the bargaining table whe■n you needd to. Course important discussion yo h have civic ed education. It needs to be an ongoing commitment to build u democracy and maintain it and1 faithful articles because if you dont, eventually the balloon runs out of the air but want to be part democracy anymore these other things are at. They learned. I mentioned ben franklin it . By educating the education . Quick test going to put a stake in the ground and open to negotiation if anybody wants to talk but looking at these cases because like this. First formal and informing teaching. Im not only talking about basses and universities but the missing that involves learning of all differe kinds . Goes knowledge and skills and values and i would add the word god. Has to be cash we talked thea certain pride democracy living in is a good thing doesnt mean it doesnt have lost and there are no problem but battling. I sat difficult taken over by proud of what we do have some level with these■ qualification. When it accomplishes two things there is purpose so theres the competency and motivation. We talked about skills my think they are partly part■ of therapist democratically purpose is keep the dopment relevant and strong. They have to be p about being a better person globally in learning how to enjoy life and they are fine but to keep d. If you look back at what we did. Case aboutt there are a lotrentw people learn a citizen. There is participation their service will take special training they have to take certain the civil ideals military Education Service prepare■÷ themselves for starting to learn and howou that because wrong is building the empire democrat build an empireg out the understand values and heres how we you build wa yourselves. Now that your purpose, but we do student ideals. In the role of coffee houses societies■f culture in this notio be french. They were portrayed badly but let us form of Civic Education and people see the signs hanging in front of the pub messages. During the early, get better at i dont want to Say Something that will be7■m. People who servo engage and discuss one another. That is a huge effort toat. There is mention of what we do with our government and wife one approach is better than another. It is carried over to the 19■i drink in Public School parades and ceremoniesut with an and thats why many of you are here today the idea we are presenting here architecture, a lot of different pieces of it. Schools from of military service, informal life, parades ideally reinforcing . We have to think about how use that architecture with the right values and aspirations as well as what we have now available for hospice holistic idea of dem a has been going when they were at their best the first in the unrelenting from acute can the activities trying to build special and we want to the going exhibits we are doing this■9 and a lot of these■ say are right and the■ is often what comes along with. Where millingut what you your opportunity to participate in the assembly of the law the theres a lot about the furtherance of w are so there should be it is not just about although that is part of the architecture. Also. For if you serve in a local communityeeting mark your observing your experience and emphasize is not instruction. An auto response gingerly revisit and update and bargain quick assessment are specific bargaining update will approve it we need to quit discipline about what is democracy we are trying to further acute condns0 hat matter what, mureserve. Away3 1 but they have to remain in charge. Society. A final slide, as you all think about Civic Education and the work you are about i encourage you challenge yourself, are we really care about why youre doing this but are you thinking about what has to be part of it in some the citizenship is a nice concept, have to be about national five. We have to say is not all about outraged about how to look ahead andebuild pride in what we ar are. Theres not enough understandin without bei okay with a look enough of the alternative. Our students and atanding of whe here. There is no time to waste. When civiccaent republic. You can see the degradation of value of what was needed. Lighted whats going on societ we dont have tickets to figure it out. Thank you. But n if you think my figures the public my 39th year atharva . The two projects im working ony walt ■fbesides the sequel it is beside for the movement of civi education or not so it is a perfect. It is regully caught in the United States 70s and 80s the pso much. Anyway ]■ five big moment this gives an impression. Out in the folsom im going to make a few fonts the missing link talk about traditions. Theater you thats not the government. z and they are not talk very much. Part assemblies the cou chambers. ■uit is a small democrt is no question. ■c■ in a rich tradition. It is completely renaissance. How you public iden fought. Itlosely the political theoryco and you are so what happens in between tradition is very rich so i bring points and i will stop and have discussion. Emphasis on eloquence. Italy and latest and the modelae they can be at work. Something i found the discussions about Civic Education. I think this is important ford society to office notion of charismatic speaker at the chma■ comes from bridget. Virtue combined that rhetoric■. The eloquence of eking out there character who knows how to speakell it can change society. Put my glasses on again. From iy you history. At long liberty last year. A whole tradition would be forgetting about practical wisdom to political leader. Theouncil or republican counsel go to work. In arguing about the basics of work. ■■x in this situation. Operation on forms and historical experiences the worky we have a mark in there are option table and started small out of■nhet wn empire attached says im sorry but you cannot be republican processing that will not work. What think about is how we have these processes and alert and we can have publican, will the house our country you cant deliberate so that is what i want to close first of all. Its how youh8■n have deliberatn in 50 statesq and how canut th. What the aspirations for how wou deliberation to young people in the program on education . What we examined in our book essentially what youre talking about and it is a doubleedged what you are talking big it is o get a. It■x ignore these propaganda with north korea for example, which has been to democracy. In all seriousness you got these huge nations with Nuclear Weapons and also, all sorts of technology to harms. Lots of people say we should just d ourselves up, you know. That would be v dan that. So i think that wead to figure out the answer to your question. Any other thing i wouhat is i think in many ways with alt has gone on we are essentially de facto deliberating all over the place. We are deliberatg cable news. We are deliberating on tiktok. We areating in all these, you know, and all the outlets where people who are very frustrated■o that they cant get their message through to those damn people in congress, they write 78 line tirades about abortion or whatever. So i think what we have toour ce down and they had would make it happen . t do it, lets figure out some other way to make our ople smarter or whatever. Some people have argued that. Theres this whole movement of the aristocracy. Lets have really smart people things will be fine. I think with technology and with our ability todeas and lots of it out and we must because we to stay big it we are this world. Ill just say Higher Education is absolutely key. So 40 of all a four year degree. So thats the way you reach pe because they can discuss things on tiktok but its not intelligent. Youvegeneral education programe cornerstone in which they talk,s about something. Its about the leviathan or the second treatise. Its not something that they ofy can discuss t i guess i wont go any further th worry about an intelligents unintet with no backing, n on constantly and thats what weve got is it okay, whas your evidence . Not conspiracy to hope. Whats your evidence for this . On the table all day about the question of civicent, and the way its currently done in my university anyway, civic thats how its understood, that students are padded on the head when you get involved in political activism. Personally i think they should be punished for and a faculty spur and the faculty for engaging in politicl activism. They haveredibl opportunity, Harvard University got places crowned with most Brilliant Minds and theyre out therencredible opportunity to study. Anyway, how can we build a more positive form of Civic Engagement in the university . We talk about the issue of we want to create departments at a think this i a good idea. I understand this idea that why its necessary to have departments with her own pows■h of appointment and own powers to create curriculum. Youve got to have that, i agree with that. I dont think we should abandon the field. Eric was saying we cant abandon the field of general education. . I mean, how would your quickbooks programslate into public you have to incentivize the in other words, one of the speakers on the last panel said they are incentivized to publish. Teach general education coursese teaching is contract com intoeae for everybody in the liberal arts be an anthropology or art history or english, and half of your teaching is in cornerstone. In all these people and if they dont teach, they cant teach a cornerstone. Thing that every liberal arts faculty member has in the background is that undergraduatt taught them shakespearer t. S. Eliot, and that their love and its the reason they went on. And if you can tap into that, you know, then i always tell them dont think about your egree. Think about your undergraduate degree and be a generalist, and in turn the students on pic you we can get into this discussion later but you also to teach in a ff lecture. Thats done. Right . Thats over. Its got to be active to learning process that inspires them, that gets them talking, getng Group Activities come all the things we really know how to do this sometimes are chaotic, right, you go in when you lecture you know exactly whats going to happen. Boring. Would you go in and say im going to put your little groups and youre tear apart most utopia, right . Thats exciting. You8. tey can do it. Youve got to turnn. I would just add back to the sort of historical perspective, that if you just said and say why cant they go on in lots of dfe world, you know, there used be debating societies. There are nonprofits. De tocqueville was, you know, wax poetic about how american democracy was learned in local halls and community all thats disappeared. In somef that is beginning to a i also noticed theres an interesting movement going on in the world of business that certain businesses are actually putting a civic component into part of the corporate life because they wand some of
