Introduction of Bob DICK
Bob DICK
Saturday, December 07, 2002 6:22 PM
I am a citizen of the world living in Brisbane, Australia.
I am 67 years old, living in a permanent relationship with the woman I love.
Between us we have 7 children, all now adults, and (to our knowledge) 14
grandchildren.
I work as an academic and a consultant. My areas of interest are community
and organisational change, action research, and participation.
My interest in this forum arises from a belief that we have a global economy
which is largely uncontrolled. We are without global governance or global
ethics to alleviate its effects. I think, therefore, that a system of world
governance is needed.
In particular, I believe we need social and communication structures that
support global participation. We need a system of ethics which allows as
much individual and group freedom as possible while reducing exploitation of
the disadvantaged.
I am not optimistic of the outcome. I look forward to changing my mind as
the discussion develops.
Warm regards to all - Bob
