Measuring Human Progress: Is Life Getting Better or Worse?
Description
Is life getting better or worse? In today’s age of information driven by multi-media, we are often left puzzled as to what the right answer is. News can be misleading as the stories we see and read, or scroll and click on, are selected based on the potential ratings they might draw. So, what is the real state of the human condition today? What do our histories and stories tell us about human progress? In this presentation, we will explore changes that have occurred since World War II, analyze data and statistics that tell the story of progress, and access interactive media which allow participants to do connect themselves to the data and have comparative discussions with peers.
