Here are the eleven themes in Pushing the Limits. Each contains a richly crafted "real people" video, along with suggested readings and questions to start your group discussions. Some have interviews with top-selling authors.
Survival. We have a fundamental urge to survive and this manifests in both life-saving and routine events in our lives.
Nature. Be it human nature, or the nature of the ecosystems that surround us - boundaries are constantly pushed and redefined.
Knowlege. New discoveries and revived techniques from the past. STEM never dies - we are compelled to pass along what we know to others.
Connection. We constantly connect with each other. We reach out across generations and great expanses, and constantly find new ways to cross time and space.
Tradition. It unites us. It defines who we are, and gives us the shared experiences that bind us together.
Motion. It might be forceful or slow moving - but we all interact with it and create it.
Heritage. What will you leave behind for future generations?
Transformation. Cut it, hammer it, build it - be it carpentry, machines, art, or human understanding - we never stop taking what we have and making it better.
Community. Through natural disasters and sometimes inexplicable phenomena, our communities define themselves through their reactions and involvement.
Change. Part resiliency, part adaption, part innovation - it is how we make it through the forces of climate change.
Strategy. We will anticipate climate change and stay resilient as we plan ways to maintain safe and healthy communities.
