Polarization and Decline: America’s 21st Century Decline and Pushback, three-part seriesAPR. 13, 14, 15; APR. 20, 21, 22; APR. 27, 28, 29

Gene Bigler, Retired Visiting Professor

This three-part lecture will examine the growth of

political polarization and economic inequality in

the U .S . since 1970 . Part two will focus on how

meritocracy and corruption have co-mingled to further

undermine American institutions . The final lecture

will focus on the people and forces who are fighting

to overcome America’s decline before the lines are

fully drawn for the 2020 national elections . Prominent

geo-historian Jared Diamond concludes his latest

book, “Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis,”

by speculating whether the United States may have

already begun a national crisis as momentous as

those of the Japanese Shogunate, Weimar Germany,

Chile under Allende, Sukarno’s Indonesia and other

cases he compares in his study . The growing

controversies related to the Trump administration, the

potential for an impeachment contest, the worsening

of the stalemate in Congress and the deterioration

of America’s global economic position have led other

respected commentators to similar conclusions, such

as Steven Brill in “Tailspin: The People and Forces

Behind America’s Fifty-Year Fall .”

Separating Church from StateMAY 4, 5, 6

David Diskin, Instructor

Although the words “separation of church and

state” never appear in the U .S . Constitution, this

phrase by Thomas Jefferson has impacted our lives

and freedoms ever since the U .S . Supreme Court

referenced it in 1879 . But what do these words

mean? Why was Jefferson affirming this separation?

And how has the First Amendment’s establishment

clause been used to defend the rights of the religious

and non-religious at every level of our government?

In his lecture, David Diskin discusses the history

of these words and their impact, along with recent

decisions that protect religious freedom and the

conflicts that arise between opposing worldviews in

our courts and our lives .

Using Music for Health and WellnessMAY 11, 13, (NO LECTURE MAY 12)
