SUMMARY:Ethics\, How We Learn Them\, and the Importance of Civility in Communication
DESCRIPTION:We live in a difficult time for ethical discourse\, with tremendous polarity of viewpoints as well as very strong emotions and opinions about a myriad of topics\, impacting events on a local\, state\, national\, and international level. Even in conversations with people whose values align reasonably well with our own\, we often struggle to find common ground. This becomes even more difficult when faced with people whose views seem alien and unethical from our viewpoints. This Sunday’s talk discussion will begin at the beginning: How did we learn our ethics? Do your ethical views come from your parents and family\, or from later life experiences?  We will then move to more discussion of current events. Our goal is to discuss events and our reactions to them with civility and an openness to hearing what others have to say.\n\nThis program will not be available via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Happiness: A Brief Overview and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:What makes you happy? EHST member\, Maura Breidt\, will give a presentation on the nature of happiness.  How do people define happiness? Are there differences in these definitions across cultures? Across age groups?  Is happiness innate or learned? Can we choose happiness\, and if so\, how? \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 use our contact us form to make your request.

SUMMARY:Poetry Sunday: A Celebration of Our Humanity Through the Arts
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday’s program has been organized by Hugh Giblin\, longtime friend of the Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle. Hugh and two other poets\, Pam Baggett and Jay Niver\, will read from their original works. Following are a few details about the three of them:\n \nPam Baggett is author of Wild Horses (Main Street Rag\, 2018)\, which received an honorable mention for the Brockman-Campbell Award. Other awards include an Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artist Grant and a 2019-20 Fellowship in Literature from the North Carolina Arts Council. Recent work is featured in Orange County’s Coalesce Project and will soon be displayed on the Lake Johnson Nature Trail in Raleigh. Pam teaches occasional writing workshops through her library in Hillsborough and writes in a sunny studio overlooking a meadow in Cedar Grove.\n \nJay Niver is an award-winning\, career journalist and public-relations specialist who sometimes dabbles in poetry and creative writing. He was a reporter and editor of weekly newspapers in suburban Cleveland\, Ohio; Charleston\, South Carolina; and Topsail Island and Beaufort County in North Carolina.  He also worked as a copy-desk editor for the daily papers in Wilmington and Jacksonville. Jay spent 30 years in the Carolinas before moving to western Canada in 2009\, and returned to North Carolina just a few years ago. Jay is very involved with the Final Exit Network\, a national nonprofit organization that supports the human right to death with dignity. He is also known to play pool upon occasion.\n \nHugh Giblin has been writing for years and has  a full file of rejections to prove it. He has published a book\, a non-fiction feature article in a national men’s magazine\, poetry in literary journals\, local and online\, and has had two ten minute plays produced. His muse is currently on strike\, but we hope that will change soon. In the meantime\, he remains active and engaged in the world around us\, and maintains his humanist values.
