SUMMARY:Signs\, Symbols and Symbolic Actions
DESCRIPTION:Don R. Johnson will speak to us about signs\, symbols\, and symbolic actions.  We all know what the first two mean\, and may have an idea about symbolic actions. (Think of the solitary man standing before a tank in Tiananmen Square.)   These terms are not mere literary terms\, but are useful in understanding the past\, as well as the current cultural and political shifts occurring today.  From the removal of Confederate monuments to the Black Lives Matter movement (and BLM banners) we know that symbols have great importance to defining who we are and are not.  If we are to preserve our democracy\, we need to heed those signs\, and symbols of the past that can show us a way forward. \nDon R. Johnson speaks from a wide background including being raised in an atheist/agnostic family\,  and then delving into religious fundamentalism\,  then Methodism as a minister\, and then Ethical Culture/Humanism as a Leader.  He is retired but continues to provide guidance in many ways such as talks like these\, and a Facebook following. \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please email us at info@ncethicalsociety.org and provide your first and last name in your request.
