When a major and significant change occurs, How do we deal with it? Personally, I do think we are able to figure this out but from a societal perspective, we seem to fumble and bumble.
One way we got from the the discriminatory horrors of the 1950's to where we are now is by school desegregation. Children grew up with children not exactly like them and learned to see them as not strange and other- people to mix with and bond to and not avoid.
Yet, How do adults make a transition if changes are transpiring that they, for whatever reason see as damaging and not to their personal advantages. How do people adjust to their neighborhood transitioning?
Years ago, A Book " Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler spoke about the harms done by too rapid and overwhelming changes. I like to use the term " Time Castaways" people who are stranded outside of a time that they felt good living in. How do you best deal; with this dilemma?
