MILLENNIUM 3: Unresolved Issues of Our Time

By George Bryant

Why do major issues like child abuse, poverty and racism continually plague us? Why can’t we resolve them?

George Bryant probes twelve current social problems, discusses the pros and cons of each, and offers suggestions for positive progress.

Basically, he says, we tend to provide only two-dimensional solutions, ignoring the ‘spiritual’ side of humanity. We are good at attacking the symptoms of social dysfunction but poor at investigating the causes. We need to use three dimensional thinking.

A unique, brave exposè.
