Questions to Ask About a Career and a Calling
A Report on the International Dialogue
for Thought Leaders in Journalism
2008-2011

When we slow down to reflect, we give the mind an opening to pause, to breathe, to consider the layers of accumulated experience.  We naturally sort through these things as we drive or walk in the evening, but it is sometimes helpful to offer the mind a bigger space, a stretch of time, a period of silence explicitly for reflection.1

As a member of the IVOH Youth at last year’s World Summit I sensed a lot of worry regarding my generation’s detachment from the analog world. Living in the information (or digital) age it is often assumed we can no longer appreciate content that isn’t displayed on a screen. As a young adult in New York City I have found the opposite. Many members of my generation are making it a point to start projects that preserve the beauty in real-world interactions and media. By utilizing social networks (specifically Kickstarter and Facebook) these projects are launched from the ground up.

I believe education should be the number one priority of every American citizen. The state of our education system in this country has given me pause to reflect on the fact that the rhetoric expressed by those who lead us does not match the effort in building and sustaining a world class educational system for our children. Bottom line, access to a quality education will be the next civil rights issue of our time.

The intersection between social change and social technology has important implications for the place of hope in our lives. Often marginalized as idealistic, naive, or blind optimism, hope is now becoming an integral part of the business strategies of corporate leaders of the future. This is because the false separation between profit and purpose that sufficed in the past is now necessarily being eroded by the impact of social media.
