Amazing what some people get excited about when they feel they or their beliefs are threatened. I think that tolerance is more of a challenge at either far end of any spectrum.

Here's another example I heard of today: <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17648725/" rel="nofollow">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17648725/</a> I'm not sure if you're familiar with the TED talks series, but I thought I'd point them out since Eve Ensler is one of the presenters featured. This reminded me of the site. I think you would appreciate the content here. I particularly liked Hans Rosling's presentation. (He's at the bottom of the page.) <a href="http://www.ted.com/tedtalks/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ted.com/tedtalks/</a> Cheers, Shane Hi Jeffrey,

I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the TED talks series, but I thought I’d point them out since Eve Ensler is one of the presenters featured. This reminded me of the site. I think you would appreciate the content here. I particularly liked Hans Rosling’s presentation. (He’s at the bottom of the page.)

As scholar-practitioners we find that this is getting harder to implement in the workplace training arena not only due to the many opportunities to instill fear by any stakeholder but the perceived chaos of emerging technologies and just the current wave of management styles is unsettling for those unable to grasp it and they in turn tighten rules with unfitting control.
