Universal Bridges: Connection, Service, and Spirituality
Having presented The 8 American Types,
the Positive Future-Cooperative
Integrative types
in conjunction with Social Material
Stress and with
Social Traditional-Religious
Conservative factors, this is a good opportunity to take a step
back and look at ways to consolidate these insights by simplifying
everything down to three commonsense, yet fundamental, factors.
The IOOW-2000 research found three common elements representing nearly universal bridges that could address the vast majority of Americans. Each of these can also be seen in combination, and taken together, represent a set of core aspirations embracing 84% of American households:
- Connection Index – represents a range
of values and
beliefs from
the personal connection to one another, connection with creation
and nature, and a sense of sacred connection.
- Service Index – represents a range
of values and
beliefs from
helping one
another, making a difference in the world, and nations helping
nations.
- Spirituality Index – represents a range
of values and
beliefs from
traditional
and alternative churches, sense of the sacred in all life,
and connection to higher consciousness or God.
