Good approach although too much academic at least for me, but I still can swim within..
Well there is one item missing in these models.. They assume the world ideal.. But as in the society or in classrooms, there are thieves and plotters against progress of others, and maybe that can presented academically as efficiency factor or as you stated one step ahead and two back.. Interesting.. indeed.. and thanx and waiting the other parts ======= S1000+ ======= --- On Mon, 3/23/09, xi <[email protected]> wrote: From: xi <[email protected]> Subject: For Sumerian (and anyone interested) on Malaysia, Australia and the global economy. Message 1/3 To: "World-thread" <[email protected]> Date: Monday, March 23, 2009, 12:07 PM I think that would be too hard for me to write everything into one single message. This is sort of introduction for the next two messages. I work in a team that, based on history, believes in three principles. I share that belief, of course. Those three principles are: 1) The global society tend to harmony among all national economies and societies. 2) National economies and societies tend to domestic harmony. 3) Harmony does not equates to equality but to maximum efficiency (*). According to that "belief", each principle defines one particular trend that human societies has shown since first settlements until nowadays. All of those trends combined shape what we call the social and economic maturity process. In other words, the global society and each individual society grow and evolve as individual human beings do, through quantic leaps or steps. That model is a path, we walk that path back and forth, through trial and error. Therefore what I will write in this group about Malaysia and Australia is a trend that unfortunately will suffer some steps back and some steps aside. "One step back, two steps ahead". We can add a fourth principle, that only some societies tend to. 4) The most mature societies that we know nowdays sacifice efficiency in order to gain sustainability. Sustainability is not just climate change, also it is stability in terms of social, economic, cultural values. It does not avoid change, it tries to avoid fatal errors. Also, inside any particular society, there are different human groups (or sub-societies) that are into different phases of the maturity process. And finally, each individual human being is also into a particular phase of the maturity process that relates mostly to the maturity level of the group where that individual was educated during his or her childhood. I (but probably not necesarily the whole team that I work for) believe that individuals tend to feel better living in societies and groups (sub-societies) that share same maturity level. Australia and Malaysia, and every other country, are walking that path. Through right and wrong, back and forth, trial and error. If you agree, what I will try to post in the most accurate way in my next message is the role that those countries (their economy, their society, their culture, etc.) will probably be or where those countries tend to become. And finally, in my third message, a brief description of those societies and overall opportunities into them. Peace and best wishes. Xi (*) Efficiency is not just economic efficiency. Human beings and human societies are complex enough to aim goals that go beyond mere economic wishes. Efficiency means to achieve those complex and general wishes with the minimum effort, in terms of individual effort and social efforts. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World-thread" group.
