Robert Fuller's bestseller "Somebodies and Nobodies diagnosed and
named the malady of rankism -- "what somebodies may do to
nobodies." In this sequel, he further explores the social and
psychological costs of this problem and counters it with the vision
of a "dignitarian" society. Drawing on his experiences as a
scientist, college president, and public diplomat, Fuller
identifies rankism as the chief obstacle to achieving the American
vision of liberty and justice for all -- and he spells out the
steps required to eradicate it. Beginning with a call to action,
the author exposes what is at stake by demonstrating rankism's
poisonous presence in politics, business, and even personal
relationships. By way of solutions, he offers alternative
dignitarian models for several fundamental parts of society,
including education, healthcare, politics, and religion. "All Rise
illuminates the subtle, often dysfunctional workings of power in
all our interactions, and shows why change is not only desirable
but vital.
