ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In cases where strong social cohesion is the result of proximity, common interests, and shared identity, solidarity is not a problem. Naturally, societies with higher levels of social cohesion are healthier and more resilient to external shocks. However, not all societies have strong social cohesion. How can we promote greater resilience in society? There is also an inherent tension between living for oneself and living for others. In this edition in the Double Exposure series with the American Council on Germany adn the Goethe Institut, Dr. Clara van den Berg (Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin, WZB) and Dr. Leah Gose (USC Dornsife’s Equity Research Institute) discussed the differences between community and society when it comes to solidarity, resilience, and social cohesion.
