G3-1. Civilization: The West and The Rest ( 4 sessions)
October 3, 2016 - 1:00-3:00 pm | October 17, 2016 - 1:00-3:00 pm | October 31, 2016 - 1:00-3:00 pm |

Description: No previous civilization has ever achieved such dominance as the West over the Rest by a conversion achieved ultimately more by the word than by the sword. Over the course of 4 sessions, participants will discuss Niall Ferguson’s book Civilization: The West and The Rest and view the film based on the book. Through film and book we will identify the true causes of Western ascendancy so as to estimate the possible imminence of our decline and fall.
Designed for: Anyone interested in discussing the influence of Western culture and its possible decline
Facilitators: Marianne Kure, Bill Krien
