Is Something Better Than Nothing?
HOST: Carmen Bowman
GUEST: Sonya Barsness, Gerontologist
Join Carmen and her guest Sonya Barsness as they think through this question. Not presuming to have the answers, they will examine the question through a range of common practices and. Building on former work together, we will look at customs such as folding towels or baby clothes that serve no purpose, fake animals and babies, fake plants, door covers, murals that disguise doorways and more. What are the pros and cons of fake life offerings and real life? Is something truly better than nothing? Are there unintended consequences?
We seek only to raise the issue, and we invite everyone to think about what you will take time, energy and resources to promote. Is something truly better than nothing? And is that the best we can do?
