About Us
21st Century Citizen is a web-based community dedicated to the individual values required to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Simply put, we want to change the world by exploring what’s important to us all as citizens in this new, 21st century.
We hope to accomplish this by educating people, informing them, and building a community of informed and passionate individuals around the world all focused on making the world a better place — and taking action to do so.
Our focus is on the values of the individual. Values provide a shorthand to help your mind figure out what actions to take when a decision has to be made. Your actions are driven by your values.
If you are faced with a choice to purchase organic apples versus buying the regular apples, part of the choice is made based on price and taste — but part of the decision is based on values. How important is eating organic to you compared to eating the normal foods?
Values guide decision making in every part of your life. When you make a decision — even the simple decisions you don’t think about — your values help your brain figure out what to do. Your mind frames the decision against your internal values and makes a decision that’s in line what what’s important to you.
The 21st Century Requires New Values
In order to meet the challenges we will all face together in this new century, our values will have to change. Different things will have to become important to us in order to change our behaviors, consumption patterns and the way we solve problems. These are the New Values of the 21st Century Citizen.
We hope you’ll join us as we explore these new values and work to define what they mean to us as individuals. We think it’s going to be an exciting experiment and a rewarding journey.
Who we are
This site was founded by Kevin Bedell and Suzy Doccola in New Hampshire, USA. We are two people who care about what this means and what we can personally do to make a difference. We believe that if each of us makes choices that help us preserve the world we live in, then we can impact our environment. By working together, we can inspire others and literally change the world.
