Some of my topics I could discuss for a good 30 minutes might be: The power of narrative in society. Knowing yourself helps you navigate the world more easily. Comic Books are a gateway drug to literacy. Families don't adequately teach their children life skills: money, love, sex, home repair, etc. Dress Codes for girls means we don't trust our boys - both lose. The implications of Spiral Dynamics.
