Concentric altruism

While there is considerable evidence that human beings instinctively seek to help others in need, we must first understand what those needs are. This is the fundamental work of Practices C1 and C2. However, for people who aren’t in our own groups—and especially for those in opposition groups—understanding others’ needs takes effort and reflection. Use this activity individually or in a classroom/team setting to consider the needs of others and determine how we might foster “change for the good of humanity.”
