Understanding social issues; understanding how we should respond to climate change

Most everything in life is resolved and dealt with through a social response and so the better we understand our social implications and complications, the move prepared we are for whatever dilemma confronts us.

And the king of all dilemmas, the most wicked problem facing humanity, and so communities at all levels is climate change; something that is both vastly misunderstood and underestimated, and for many people a dilemma not even on their personal radar.

Shepparton will soon have the chance to hear a fellow who is Australia’s pre-eminent social researcher, Hugh Mackay.

Beyond being a social researcher, Hugh has written extensively about his  findings in many books, including his latest, “Beyond Belief”, and he will discuss that, along with his earlier works on Friday, August 12.

He is being brought to Shepparton by Slap Tomorrow and the Shepparton event will support the Goulburn Valley Community Fund.

Tickets for the 7:00pm event, at the Go TAFE Harder Auditorium, are $10 each and will include a light supper and can be secured from The Community Fund at  (03) 5832 8221 or from Collins Booksellers in Maude St, Shepparton, at 5822 2679.
