June 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
In this TEDxInnsbruck talk, Michael Karlberg, a communications professor, shares some of the ideas found in his book Beyond the Culture of Contest.
Michael Karlberg explores how competition and adversarialism, with its social inequities and lack of ecological sustainability, lie at the heart of current Western societies. He presents how imperative it is for us to learn how to work together and discusses the advantages of mutualism.
