She contends that <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">understanding and respecting each other's worldview will help us </span>address climate change or other issues. It's fascinating and relevant work. There's a lot here though. Maybe save for when you want a mini diversion or break. </div><div><br></div><div>I stumbled on her blog about the <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">meat consumption / climate change </span>connection first. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/people-still-don-t-get-the-link-between-meat-consumption-and-climate-change/">http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/people-still-don-t-get-the-link-between-meat-consumption-and-climate-change/</a></div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:B4A7EFED-5C11-4E7C-BF76-557F8D9E4E17" alt="image2.PNG" id="B4A7EFED-5C11-4E7C-BF76-557F8D9E4E17"><br></div><div><br></div><div>That's how I learned she had a theory about worldviews and how they inform our thinking and acting. And that she had an easy test to identify your worldview. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://annickdewitt.com">http://annickdewitt.com</a></div><div><br></div><div>You have to give your email at the end to get your results (I did). The sets of sentences used are interesting though and you'll understand the rest more easily if you take the test <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">even if you don't get your results, so I would. </span></div><div><br></div><div>Here's a cheat link so you can read the worldview descriptions without submitting your test.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://annickdewitt.com/your-worldview-postmodern/">http://annickdewitt.com/your-worldview-postmodern/</a></div><div>Links to the other world views are on the middle right.</div><div><br></div><div>This is<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> the scientific report on the worldview test and possible applications if you really want to go down the rabbit hole. The test was administered to groups in the US and Netherlands. The development of the test is presented too (in what will be exasperating or exquisite scientific detail depending on your point of view). </span></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1462901116301794">http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1462901116301794</a></div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:657503B4-0A85-4ACB-90BC-F8C0ECB6ECBC" alt="image1.PNG" id="657503B4-0A85-4ACB-90BC-F8C0ECB6ECBC"><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I found this fascinating.
