Safety and security are basic needs of humanity in general. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs places this as the foundational need of people. When safety and security is threatened, human psychological studies show that the “survival of the fittest” mode sets in. When this happens in a society consistently, Social Darwinism takes over and all other human development needs become forgotten. It is in every living creature’s instinct to survive. Understanding this is critical in shaping a society that assures the safety and security of its citizens before any social progress could take place. Talking about social progress, education, healthy eating, housing, employment, and economic development will be an exercise in futility if we cannot provide for the basic need of mankind. One area this need rears its head is in the relationship between minority citizens and law enforcements. Join us to talk about how each person can overcome their biases and drive the change for our shared safety!
