| Abstract | This report focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of North Carolina, its future and potential, and the roles that the citizens and the state government play in moving the state forward. There are multiple realities within North Carolina. The average income has increased, unemployment rates have dropped, and educational levels have risen. The report attributes these increases to the influx of educated professionals. Another reality is that native North Carolinians are not benefiting from the overall growth of the state. There are very separate, unequal worlds within the state, almost to the point of social and economic polarization. The three "R's" of human geography--resources, residence, and race--are discussed as the divisors of the state. A covenant for North Carolina is presented as an attempt to unite all state residents in a commitment to enhance personal, interpersonal, and state development. Four areas are identified and discussed as priorities for action: (1) lifting the working poor out of poverty; (2) fostering entrepreneurship; (3) meeting the needs of young children; and (4) expanding the voluntary sector. Improving and revitalizing elementary and secondary education programs, improving developmental and health care for children, and utilizing human resources effectively are identified as critical needs in North Carolina.
