RESPONSIBILITY, USEFULNESS and GRACIOUSNESS from the Caribbean Isle of Jamaica

Author and scholar Edward R. Johnson makes a bold proclamation here about personal responsibility. It is the acceptance of this he says that will influence and make men and women, workers and citizens authenticate themselves. "The morality and societal structure for Responsiblity, Usefulness and Graciousness from the Caribbean Isle of Jamaica" presents us with a framework within which to direct our lives and obtain an interconnection with our fellow human beings in society, and to give meaning to our life. This interconnection is shown in how ,as individuals in this universe of diversity we can serve each other in business and in the governance of our state. He makes us aware that even in the pursuit of responsibility and serving, from which we get meaning in our life, that unintended and aberrant outcomes do take place, but that through graciousness we can overcome these. This book provides us with ideas for a new modus operandi for the living of our lives and the search for personal satisfaction within a morality of responsibility, leading to usefulness and the handling of deleterious events through graciousness.

By Melissa
I was moved and dazzled by the serious expressions in this book as relates to the needs to recapture our values spiritually and socially, that can catapult us in a conscious way both private and on a national level.

4RUG for Life  Nov 28, 2010
By Jamscribe
Edward Johnson has made a useful contribution to the discussion of responsibility, usefulness and graciousness as the necessary RUG glue necessary for holding peaceful and productive societies together in contrast with the prevailing over-emphasis of individual rights. And he has done so from a Jamaican-Caribbean perspective.

The philosophical is blended with practical insights from a professional life spent in human resources development and education as RUG is applied to a whole range of social concerns.

"We begin the process of making our society a civilized one", Johnson argues, "through the educating of young people in their formative years, not about their rights and this in a situation of amorality, but of a morality of responsibility, usefulness and graciousness to one's fellow beings in society."

5Don't attempt to highlight the profound; it's entirely profound!!  Feb 23, 2009
By E. Williams
This publication could easily be required reading in an advanced philosophy course. It is thought provoking and familiar yet useful and applicable.
