Political Apathy and Radicalism

Listen via Real Audio
We live in a democratic society, and that means, we should participate in the political process. However, many people feel that their votes don't change anything, so they choose not to participate at all. Others feel that the only way that can change things is through radical measures. Join Dan Gottlieb, and on the next Voices in the Family, we'll look at two phenomena - political apathy and radicalism. Our guests are Dr. Tom DeLuca, author of "The Two Faces of Political Apathy," and Dr. Todd Gitlin, author of "Letters to a Young Activist." We'll also be joined by Dr. Elizabeth Ossoff, professor of Psychology at Saint Anselm College, and hear about a documentary about The Weathermen, a group of 1960's radicals.

Our guests are authors William H. Simon, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and Arnold Sadwin, M.D., psychiatrist at the Institute of Pennsylvania Hospital and the Belmont Center for Comprehensive Treatment.

End of Life

Listen via Real Audio
The case of Florida woman Terry Schiavo raises many important issues about the end of life. How should we discuss death with our families, what kinds of wishes should we specify? Dan Gottlieb will take an in-depth look at the end of life from different perspectives. We'll hear from lawyer Vincent Russo who specializes in living wills. We'll also discuss family dynamics at the end of life with Dr. Mimi Mahon, a palliative care nurse and senior fellow at the University of Penn Center for Bio-Ethics. Finally, we'll discuss the meaning of life and death with Stephen Levine, Buddhist teacher and author of several best-selling books, among them "Who Dies," and "A Year to Live."
