Modern American is a role in the American story, and there are five ways to perform it.
-
We need to resolve the conflicts between our institutional loyalties and our Modern American commitments.
-
We need to act now, despite our different levels of identity awareness, tolerance and respect.
-
We need to recognize and oppose regressive, corrupt, and/or incompetent authority figures.
-
We need to avoid detachment and imaginary prisons.
-
We need to dream outloud.
