Problem with the Statue of Liberty.

Officially named _Liberty Enlightening the World_ , the Statue of Liberty stands as a timeless symbol of liberty, hope and democracy. Its design reflects universal values of equality and social justice.

But…

Have we failed the Statue of Liberty?

Princeton Foundation for Peace and Learning recently invited various stakeholders to a very timely and meaningful discussion on this topic - Have we failed the Statue of Liberty?

The participants expressed their opinion and dissent in a constructive and more importantly - respectful manner.

A theme that emerged from this discussion was that the Statue of Liberty is missing her twin sister- the Statue of Accountability.

Almost every fundamental document across the world makes no explicit mention of accountability and responsibility. This is resulting into a society that poses widespread emphasis on liberty and rights, but negligible attention to individual’s responsibility towards the society. This behavior is akin to a parasite that contributes nothing but merely exploits its host weakening the very system it thrives and survives on.

This is not sustainable.

Instead of living like a parasite, each one of us must actually contribute towards the growth of society by taking accountability.

Accountability is not only about being answerable when things go wrong, but is about taking ownership without being asked, fulfilling responsibilities and acknowledging both our achievements as well as our shortcomings. The participants described how small individual actions, when practiced collectively can create a significant positive impact, ultimately addressing deeper causes of a problem and helping a society grow.

Special thanks to participants for initiating this enriching and thought-provoking discussion: Arisha Siddique (Sri Venkateswara College), Priya Badlani (Miranda House), Ajmer Unnisa (Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet), Vasushree Prasad (St. Stephen's College), Maaroof Begum (Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet), Pallavi Nalla (IIT, Kharagpur), and Yagya Tripathi (Miranda House).

Synergy: The Reading and Reflection Circle of Princeton Foundation for Peace and Learning is the Foundation's latest initiative, led by its fellows and scholars. The Circle is based on the belief that "when individual ideas come together, the collective outcome becomes greater than the sum of individual contributions."

Students lead discussions and moderate conversations about any and every aspect of life and growth. So far, they have explored topics such as the dilemma of choosing one or the other between honesty and kindness, how algorithms affect our ability to think independently, whether and how women continue to be misrepresented in leadership and politics, and what can be done at an individual level to create a more inclusive and egalitarian society, among many other crucial issues discussed within Synergy.

The Circle has consistently strived to uphold the principles of "no judgment" and "no right or wrong answers" throughout all its activities. Guided by these values, the students recently conducted a self-reflection activity: "Write a letter to your future self six months from today. What do you hope you are working towards? In which area of life or domain do you want to grow or contribute to? What kind of person do you hope you are becoming? What would you like future-you to know or be reminded of?"

The students wrote excellent, growth-oriented, and deeply personal reflections. This activity will now serve as a time capsule for all participants and will become a treasured personal testimony six months from now.

Princeton Foundation encourages discussions and reflective activities such as these to inculcate the values of respect for differing opinions and considerate leadership, helping bring about the positive change that society so desperately needs.

Special thanks to Priya Badlani (Miranda House) for establishing Synergy, and to all the participation of this activity and other discussions: Muskan Dixit (Miranda House), Pallavi Nalla (IIT Kharagpur), Soubia Nikhat (Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet), Priya Badlani (Miranda House), Bhumika Arora (Miranda House), Yanshi Vyas (Miranda House), Rashmo Mehta (Miranda House), Dandi Harsh*tha (Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet), Maaroof Begum (Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet), Arisha Siddiqui (Jawaharlal Nehru University), Harsh*ta Sharma (DBS Campus, Nainital) and Sristi Verma (Vasant Kanya Mahavidyalaya, BHU) for participating in this activity.
