Beyond Rankism: Democracy For All

Summary

Rank has legitimate rights.  When rank has been earned and signifies excellence, then it's generally accepted, and rightfully so.  But the power of rank is often abused.  The abuse of rank, or of power, is rankism.  Treating others as invisible, as "nobodies," - insulting someone's dignity - that's rankism.  Most of us have felt its sting; most have dished it out in some form.  Overcoming rankism - in the family, the schools, and the workplace - is democracy's next step and the focus of this insightful dialogue between Robert Fuller and Michael Toms.
