Obama's Nobel Peace Prize Speech December 10, 2009 (Part 4 of 4)

I try to find video that could capture the vision on this project. In my works, I inspired by the work of Buber, Freire, Tagore and Lederach. In this part of speech, Obama mentions about "moral imagination". This line connecting me with the work of John Paul Lederach about his concept on moral imagination in peacebuilding. he said that moral imagination is "the space of recognition that ultimately the quality of our life is dependent on the quality of life of others....; the capacity to give birth to something new that in its very birthing changes our world and the way we see things". (Lederach 2005: 27, 35).
I hope you learn something from this video..
