In ancient Greece, the agora was a place of public gathering and discussion. In this tradition, we intend this site to be a space for public deliberation. On this site you will find descriptions of a wide variety of problems faced by organizations, cities, states, and the nation. All of these problems have the potential to be remedied or mitigated the changes in policy, and all have been suggested by the users of this site. A range of possible solutions has been suggested for each problem. We invite comments and discussion on the nature of the problems, as well as on the potential of the solutions. We also invite suggestions for alternative solutions. By creating “problem-solution” discussions rather than “pro-con” discussions, and focusing the insights of many minds, we hope to contribute to the improvement of our world.
Start below by selecting a policy area, and then join the deliberation!
