SUMMARY:The Fate of America
DESCRIPTION:THE FATE OF AMERICA\nPresented by\nMichael Gellert\, M.A.\, L.C
 .S.W.\nFebruary 15\, 2002\nThe events of September 11 and the current war 
 on terrorism have focused our attention on America’s future in a renewed
  and pressing way. Given our extroverted orientation\, much of our focus i
 s on the "other\," on the enemy outside of us. However\, our domestic andi
 nternalspiritual condition is also in need of serious attention\, and is i
 nextricably linked with our foreign policy. The same psychological attitud
 es influence both domestic and international\, inner and outer spheres. As
  Jung concluded in 1930\, the central\, archetypal force shaping American 
 attitudes is a powerful "Heroic Ideal" or aspiration toward greatness. Tod
 ay\, this heroic ideal is in a state of upheaval. We are suffering\, albei
 t unconsciously\, from a heroic-identity crisis. What does it mean to be a
  heroic or great people? It is imperative to our future as a nation and to
  civilization that we begin to examine this and to understand ourselves. I
 n this talk\, the author will discuss his new book\,The Fate of America: A
 n Inquiry into National character\, and its implications for the war on te
 rrorism. The evening will conclude with a book signing.\nMichael Gellert\,
