Descriptions of the assembly include the following:
- Ritualistic
- Democratic
- Indigenous
- Free debate
- Consensus building
- "Right to Speak
- A goal of harmony, rather than "truth"
- Community
- No urgency
- All-inclusiveness
- Systematic treatment
Such institution that promotes freedom for all its members to communicate and debate important issues seems ideal. Voices are not oppressed, community is strengthened through a ritual in which creates a common bond, and, most interestingly, harmony is valued.
In the United States, we strive to promote a certain "truth" to every dilemma - but is this truth always the best answer? I think that by striving to reach harmony, groups in which hold a debate may strengthen their relationships with one another. Sometimes there is a right & wrong answer; other times, compromise and peace should be the answer. By pushing ourselves to reach harmony, we fully invest in the final outcome.
This is a useful information, I learn a lot of new things from this.Thanks for the thoughts and ideas.
