Spiral Dynamics Integral provides a powerful, multi-leveled mapping of culture, values, and consciousness. In this interview, the leading practitioner of this work, Don Beck, shares his insights about how we can more effectively meet different cultures with solutions appropriate to their "memetic codes." He ranges from discussing AIDS in Africa to why Scandinavian countries are operating from more complex codes to how these value systems play out in U.S. politics. You’ll learn about Red, Blue, Orange, and Green codes, as well as the emergent integral vision that can integrate (and work effectively) with them all. Too often, we apply our solutions out of context in a way that creates more problems. With the environment literally heating up, it becomes even more imperative that we better understand the value-tectonics of today and harmonize the developmental needs of billions of people operating from different codes.
