My research areas focus on:
1) The Relationship between Personal and National Levels of Rapid Change,and Dialogue as Transformational Elements of Conflict Resolution.
The term Rapid Change is not new, as it often means what it means, and that is how concepts and events change rapidly. However I am coining the two words together as a whole term “Rapid Change” defined from a personal Level and National Level perspectives. Literature and theorist across the board had suggested stages and journeys to pin down change cycles in human beings. However my research suggests that meaningful Rapid Change occurs in a more defined way, and could happen in shorter periods of time. I use my findings on individual a national examples that were systematically targeted to dramatic catastrophes, yet proved resilient enough to constant change, mutation, and adaptation to new norms. This is what I call Rapid Change.
Dialogue on the other hand is understood to be a mediation act on all interpersonal levels or group levels; it also could be applied within inter religious or intercultural settings. Nevertheless throughout my research findings I demonstrate that dialogue is more than listening to each other, and even more than just hearing an understanding each other. Rather dialogue is also living, sharing, understanding, and practicing your objective self in the settings of other’s subjective selves.
Finally I will tie all the intricacies above together to prove that conflict resolution and peace are achievable, and that the relationship between personal and national change is really underlined in the complexities involved in each of the elements above. Conflict Resolution is solving and avoiding problems, often issues that affect negatively on inter human relations, it is a corrective action that not only means the initiative of resolving complex problems, but also means an engaged action of deliberate dialogue and change
