Appealing to Idealism - Is it Enough?

Sponsored Article

A I just finished a press release relating to a new book that's coming out titled Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change. The book was written by a faculty member of Capella University. The book is based on recent developments in psychology and organizational structures that identified that people do better in higher education situations where they are motivated to focus on their own human ideals.

It's similar to the concept employed by JFK when he challenged people to go to the moon within 10 years and do for their country before they asked what their country could do for them. It was a good idea back then, however there was a backhanded insinuated promise in that message. The promise was that in doing for our country we would all benefit. However we've all seen that are country tends to take advantage of us when we do that. We've suffered from political scandal after scandal where presidents and their administrations and other politicians take advantage of Americans working towards those ideals.

President Bush challenged us to rise up against terrorism after the attacks on 9/11 and he subverted our idealism to fight back in order for him to push his own agenda, which was extremely flawed. So where do we go on our idealism has been hijacked, and how do we get motivated to fix things under those circumstances.
