Topic: "Rankism: The Unethical Response," with guest Dr. Robert Fuller
We've all heard the term, "to pull rank." It means to prevail in a disagreement not because of a superior argument, but because of claiming personal superiority. "I'm right because I've got the power." It amounts to a put-down. Dr. Robert Fuller has written two books on the subject, Somebodies and Nobodies and All Rise. He finds that rankism is the chief remaining obstacle to achieving liberty and justice for all, and proposes a "dignitarian" society in which rankism is no longer tolerated. Tune in to find how rankism is rife in our social and civic institutions and how the politics of dignity can put the "we" back in "We the people." Dr. Fuller says that the next natural step in the progress of democracy is the building of a dignitarian society. And raising our consciousness about rankism helps clear up confusion in our personal dealings with others — the times when we are unable to grasp what the real problem is.
Hosted by Andra Miller and Dr. Phyllis Harrison-Ross. For more information contact Marc Bernstein at 212-874-5210, ext. 112, or email him at mbernstein@nysec.org.

Join the Teen Ethical Leadership Program at the New York Society for Ethical Culture! Spring Session Begins March 30, 2008.
Program Description:
The Teen Ethical Leadership Program is a series of dynamic, interactive workshops that aim to inspire ethical leadership and social activism in teens, ages 13-16. In a youth-centered approach, the students are engaged by the enjoyable process of ‘doing.’ They learn about the art of leadership through group activities, role-playing, simulations, challenge games, case studies, community service, journaling and reflection.
The goal of this program is to provide teens with the foundation, tools and techniques for ethical leadership: leadership based not only on great knowledge and skills, but also broad vision, integrity and good character. Students will develop confidence by learning new skills and will become role-models for other students. They will learn how to value themselves as talented individuals with great potential to improve society. The shared experience with positive, like-minded teens will sustain their motivation for personal growth and self-development for years to come.
Workshops topics include:
- Self-confidence and Positive Character Traits
- Effective Leadership and Team-building Skills
- Good Listening and Communication Skills
- Awareness of Social Justice Issues
- Engagement in Social Action
