Glossary of terms |
-
- Agrarian
society -
society based on agriculture and farming, and was the
main form of socio-economic organization for about 10 000 years.
-
- Aristocracy
- The term "aristocracy" is derived from the Greek aristokratia,
meaning the rule of the best. It is a hereditary form of government,
“born to rule” with a belief in their own superiority. Power is
maintained by an hereditary elite, from a caste, family or even
individuals.
-
- Autocracy
is a form of government in which a single self-appointed ruler holds
the political power. The term autocrat is derived from the
Greek word autokratōr (lit. "self-ruler", or "he who rules by
one's self").
-
- Authority
- is the ability to enforce laws, to exact obedience, to command, to
determine, or to judge.
-
- Basic
contradiction -
According G. W.
Hegel "Contradiction in nature is the root of all motion and of all
life." The Basic contradiction is the one, which in a
whole set of contradictions plays the decisive role in development.
The basic contradiction of modern society is between financial
capital and political power. Unlawful marriage between money and
political power create corporatocracy, which is “Absolute
capitalism”. Resolution of this basic contradiction is in separation
between money and political power. The basic contradiction of
advanced Technological civilisation is between exponentially rising
of knowledge and increasing vulnerability of society. Resolving this
contradiction is in transition from money-driven to knowledge-based
society.
-
- Binary
economics
is the expression of a new universal paradigm or new
understanding of reality that creates a new economics, a new
politics, a new justice and a new morality. Binary economics (means
“composed of two” – humans factor and capital). It is fundamentally
different from all known economical schools. The philosophy of
binary economics is -”justice,
which creates efficiency and an efficiency, which creates justice”.
Binary economics is a theory of economics that
endorses both private property and a free market but proposes
significant reforms to the banking system. Binary economics contains
no expropriation of wealth, and much less redistribution will be
necessary. It cannot cause inflation and could create a stable
economy. Binary economics is knowledge-based and belief that society
has an absolute duty to ensure that all humans have rights to equal
opportunities, as well as a responsibility to protect the
environment for its own sake.
-
-
Brainwashing -
A form of
indoctrination that forces people to abandon their beliefs in favour
of another set of beliefs by conditioning through various forms of
pressure or torture.
-
-
Capitalism -
is a
socio-economic system based on private property rights, including
the private ownership of resources or capital, with economic
decisions made largely through the operation of a free market rather
than by state control. Capitalist systems are governed by the free
price system set by the law of supply and demand rather than
government regulation, though this does not exclude government
defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market. Nowadays all
of the capitalistic societies of the West have mixed economies that
temper capitalism with interventionist government regulation and
social programs.
-
-
Civilization
is level of
development of humanity as a whole due to achieved mode for
generation, processing and verification of knowledge. Hundreds
cultures are “melted” to create single civilization. So far there
are only three known civilizations – empirical (positive
knowledge is generated and verified trough “trial and error”),
technological (positive knowledge is generated trough
experiments and discovered laws of natural sciences) and forthcoming
humanitarian civilization (positive knowledge will be
generated trough revealed laws of human and social sciences)
-
-
Collaborative decision-making mechanism
– decisions made by collaboration of self-selected experts to find
feasible solution, verified by social practice, which works in
favour of society as a whole. By definition there is no vote at all.
(Netocracy)
-
-
Collective decision-making mechanism
– decisions made by voting system, which works in favour of
majority. (See Democracy).
-
-
Communism –
socio-economic system that promotes the establishment of a
classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means
of production and property in general, with economic decisions made
largely through the ideology of single political party and state
control. Socialism supposes to be first step of Communism. Communism
attempts to offer an alternative to the problems believed to be
inherent with capitalist economies and the legacy of imperialism and
nationalism. Communism states that the only way to solve these
problems would be for the working class, or proletariat, to replace
the wealthy bourgeoisie, which is currently the ruling class, in
order to establish a peaceful, free society, without classes, or
government.
-
-
Conscience
is a hypothesized ability or faculty that distinguishes whether our
actions are right or wrong. In plain English, it is a person's inner
sense of what is right or what is wrong morally. It leads to
feelings of remorse when we do things that go against our moral
values, and to feelings of rectitude or integrity when our actions
conform to our moral values. It is also the attitude, which informs
our moral judgment before performing any action. The extent to which
such moral judgments are based in reason has been a matter of
controversy almost throughout the history of Western philosophy.
Commonly used metaphors refer to the "voice of conscience" or "voice
within."
-
-
Consciousness
- (1. in psychology) is a constellation of attributes of mind such
as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, and the ability to
perceive a relationship between oneself and one's environment. It
has been defined from a more biological and causal perspective as
the act of autonomously modulating attentional and computational
effort, usually with the goal of obtaining, retaining, or maximizing
specific parameters (food, a safe environment, family, mates).
Consciousness may involve thoughts, sensations, perceptions, moods,
emotions, dreams, and an awareness of self, although not necessarily
any particular one or combination of these.
-
-
Consciousness
--
(2. in anthropology and philosophy) is awareness of a
person's self, environment, and thought. As a result, it is the
fundamental basis for all philosophy, as what exists outside
consciousness (matter) is in one way or another reflected in
consciousness. It is cultural phenomena. Not to be confused with
thinking - mind think process), consciousness - know (accumulated
knowledge). Process of thinking could be dated back to 30,000 years.
The first glimmerings of consciousness and introspection came since
the beginning of civilisation around 3000 years ago, after our
ancestors had developed languages, farming, and even after they had
built cities. For instance absence of consciousness-related language
in the older sections of the Iliad, indicate lack of modern
self-awareness in man during this time period. Actions in the Iliad
are commanded by the gods. Consciousness evolve from animism,
magical thinking to mythical and ultimately objective thinking based
on formal and dialectical logic.
-
Corporatocracy -
is a government bowing to pressure from corporate entities. The
Corporatocracy works by corrupting democratically elected
governments around the globe, by convincing them to buy unneeded
infrastructures. The goal of the Corporatocracy is to subdue by
plunging into debt third world countries, in order to have the full
control of their political life. The Corporatocracy has the same
features of a standard empire, with the only peculiar characteristic
that it has been established by financial institutions rather than
military force. The Corporatocracy is a common concept in all the
western countries, but only in the case of the US Government has it
rose as an empire.
-
-
Corruption
- is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It hurts
everyone whose life, livelihood or happiness depends on the
integrity of people in a position of authority.
-
- Course
of history
- is a process of self-organisation of society as a living and
rational system influenced by subjective factor.
-
- Course
of social evolution
is development due to objective laws. This is transition from
hierarchical to heterarchical social structure or from simple
“mind-made” hierarchy to sophisticated self-organised heterarchy;
transition from autocracy to democracy and from democracy to
netocracy.
-
- Covert propaganda
- information which originates from the government but is
unattributed and made to appear as though it came from a third
party. This is disseminating propaganda – i.e., pretending that
someone is an "independent" expert when they're actually being
"prodded" and even paid "behind the scenes" by the Government.
-
- Crony
capitalism
- is a pejorative term describing a capitalist economy in which
success in business depends on an extremely close relationship
between the businessman and the state institutions of politics and
government, rather than by the espoused "equitable" concepts of the
free market, open competition, and economic liberalism. It may be
exhibited by favouritism in the distribution of legal permits,
government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth.
-
- Culture
-
is the knowledge passed from one generation to the
next generation. It is content of social consciousness i.e.
accumulated by society knowledge. The culture characterise one
particular social group by contents of its social consciousness –
religion believes, moral norms, myths, aesthetic views, positive
knowledge, ideas, laws, philosophy etc.
-
- Culture
of fear
- is a term that refers to a perceived prevalence of fear and
anxiety in public discourse and relationships, and how this may
affect the way people interact with one another as individuals and
as democratic agents. Among those who share this perception there
are a variety of different claims as to the sources and consequences
of the trend they seek to describe.
-
-
Decision-making -
is a
process of making choice or judgement.
Decision-making can be regarded as an outcome of mental processes
(cognitive process) leading to the selection of a course of action
among several alternatives. Every decision-making process produces a
final choice. The output can be an action or an opinion.
-
-
Democracy -
is the notion that "the people" should have control of the
government ruling over them. This ideal is pursued by implementing a
system of voting such that the majority of people rule, either
directly as in Ancient Greece, or indirectly through elected
representatives. Democracy is a system of government by which
political sovereignty is retained by the people and exercised
directly by citizens. In modern times it has also been used to refer
to a constitutional republic where the people have a voice through
their elected representatives. It is derived from the Greek
δημοκρατία, "popular government", which was coined from δήμος
(dēmos), "people" and κράτος (kratos), "rule,
strength". Democracy has been called the "last form of government"
and has spread considerably across the globe. However Netocracy
seems to be the nest level of evolution of democracy.
-
-
Dialectical categories
- refer to number of universal unity, contradictions and transitions
as: Cause & Effect; Analysis & Synthesis; Form & Content; Space &
Time; Motion & Information; Quantity, Quality & Measure; Negation &
Continuity; Contradiction & Harmony; Part & Whole; Individual &
Particular; Continuity & Discontinuity; Abstract & Concrete;
Possibility & Reality; Essence & Appearance; Means & Ends; Chance &
Necessity; Causality and Purpose, Positive & Negative; System &
Method; Negation of the Negation; Unity of Opposites; etc.
-
-
Dialectical Logic
- Contrary to formal logic, the law of dialectical logic is that
everything is mediated therefore everything is itself and at the
same time not itself. "A is non-A." A is negated. For Hegel,
identity is the unity of different terms, and difference is the
difference of united terms, namely, negation of negation. To claim
for two different things are the same at one and the same moment is
contradiction. The law of dialectical logic is contradiction, the
opposites constitute a whole. The whole is not only different from
its contradictory moments, but also more than them. In any act of
change, there are three aspects universally bound to the very idea:
first of all, there is something that changes (thesis), something
into which it is to change (antithesis), and the way of transforming
the former into the latter (synthesis). These are the basic logical
change in dialectical logic including the elevation of matter over
mind and a constantly changing reality with a material basis.
Dialectical logic has three fundamental principles: integrity,
negation and measure.
-
-
Dialectics
- is the method of reasoning which aims to understand things
concretely in all their movement, change and interconnection, with
their opposite and contradictory sides in unity. Dialectics is also
a science of the general and abstract laws of the evolution of
nature, society, and thought. Dialectics can begin only if there is
contradiction, motion is always in contradiction. Everything is the
result of prime mover and everything is in motion. Unity is the
first step of constituting system, for that reasons motion is the
key to find the opposite of any concepts.
-
- Economy
is mode of production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of
gods and services of a country or other area, respectively
redistribution of wealth and effective management of the resources
on national or international level (macroeconomic).
-
- Elite
- derives from French élite (the "elect") is a relatively
small dominant group within a larger society, which enjoys a
privileged status which is upheld by individuals of lower social
status within the structure of a group. The elite could be
religious, class, educational, financial etc.
-
-
Empirical civilisation –
First
civilization, typical for Agrarian societies, where positive
knowledge is generated and verified trough “trial and error”.
-
- Empire
- is a relationship, formal or informal, in which one state controls
the effective political sovereignty of another political society. It
can be achieved by force, by political collaboration, by economic,
social, or cultural dependence. Imperialism is simply the process or
policy of establishing or maintaining an empire.
-
-
Enlightenment
- is a term used to describe a phase in Western philosophy and
cultural life centred upon the eighteenth century, in which Reason
was advocated as the primary source and basis of authority.
Developing in Germany, France and Britain, the movement spread
through much of Europe, including Russia and Scandinavia. At its
core is a critical questioning of traditional institutions, customs,
and morals. Some classifications of this period also include the
late 17th century, which is typically known as the Age of Reason or
Age of Rationalism.
-
-
Epistemism –
“Post-capitalism”
is knowledge-based economy typical for forthcoming Netocratic
society.
-
-
Epistemology
- (from Greek επιστήμη - episteme, "knowledge" +
λόγος, "logos") or theory of knowledge is a branch of
philosophy concerned with the nature and scope of knowledge and how
it relates to similar notions such as truth, belief, and
justification. It also deals with the means of production and
verification of knowledge.
-
-
Evolution – is
a
gradual process of development, formation, or growth, esp. one
leading to a more advanced or complex form. In
biology this is
change in the
genetic composition (inherited traits) from generation to
generation. In society – transition from one social structure to
another more sophisticated structure.
-
- Fascism
- is meagre between political power and national
corporations. It is an authoritarian nationalist political ideology;
political regime based on strong centralized government, suppressing
through violence any criticism or opposition of the regime, and
exalting nation, state, or religion above the individual. A system
of strong autocracy or oligarchy usually to the extent of bending
and breaking the law, race-baiting, and advocating and supporting
violence against largely unarmed populations.
-
-
Feudalism
–
socio-economic system related to Agrarian society.
Term is derived from the Latin word feodum (fief), then in
use, the term feudalism and the "system" it purports to
describe were not conceived of as a formal political system by the
people living in the Medieval Period.
-
- Formal
Logic
- Logic is the taming of "savage mind", making the concepts well
defined, univocal and constant in time. Every concept, using modern
terminology, must represent only one set. This is in fact nothing
more than
the law of identity.
Every concept, according to this rule, can only be defined by
itself. If concept A is identical with concept B, than they both
have all their elements in common. If A or B possesses at least one
element that is not common, then they cannot be identical.
-
-
Framework
is a basic conceptual structure used to solve or
address complex issues.
-
-
Fundamental values –
stricture-determinating social values: slaves, land, money and
knowledge. They are basses of politico-economic systems: slavery,
feudalism, capitalism and forthcoming epistemism.
-
-
Fundamentalism
- consistent, systemised and unshakable believes in something, which
is not truth. Fundamentalism is ideological phenomenon. Could be
religious or political. In religion, fundamentalism is viewed as a
conservative stance because it seeks to preserve or return to a
primary and principal relationship with the deity. Because of this,
fundamentalists shun change, in many cases they attack change with
labels such as heresy or blasphemy. In politic -- all
social-economical models experimented during Industrial society are
fundamentalistical by nature. The Communism and Fascism already
failed. The New World Order follows same pattern of development,
destruction of society and inevitable will collapse.
-
- Global
Justice
- the ideal of fairness extended to humanity as a
whole.
-
- Global
Justice Movement –
Movement promoting
new thinking to benefit all economies and societies.
-
-
Globalisation -
is a natural
process of integration of societies from thousands tribes to two
hundred nations and in foreseeable future into one single organism,
which is humanity. The process of going to a more interconnected
world.
-
-
Globalism
– is a process of making world economy dominated by capitalist
models. A socio-economic system dedicated to free trade and free
access to markets. Globalism is synonym of corporatism, a vision for
future world as a global corporation.
- Gold
standard
-
is a monetary system in which a region's common
mediums of exchange are paper notes that are normally freely
convertible into pre-set, fixed quantities of gold. The gold
standard is not currently used by any government, having been
replaced completely by money declared by a government to be legal
tender. The British government suspended the convertibility of Bank
of England notes to gold in 1914 to fund military operations during
World War I.
-
Governing elite
- decision-makers of all times who control the rest of population.
Power elite evolves from individual to collective and in foreseeable
future will be reorganised as collaborative. In case of
collaborative decision-making process, decision-makers lost its
power, because they don't control people anymore.
-
-
Groupthink
is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize
conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing,
and evaluating ideas. Individual creativity, uniqueness, and
independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of group cohesiveness,
as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought
that might normally be obtained by making decisions as a group.
-
-
Heterarchy -
is social
stricture organised by social evolution due to self-regulating
mechanism of society. Heterarchy is qualitative leap from one stage
to new completely different stage of social development. Transition
from agrarian to industrial society is an example for such
qualitative leap. Industrial society shifted out existed power elite
and has established two clear heterarchical components - democracy
and free-market economy. Heterarchy is antonym to
hierarchy.
-
-
Heuristic
- is the art and science of discovery and invention. The word comes
from the same Greek root as "eureka". In psychology heuristics seen
to be are simple, efficient rules of thumb, which have been proposed
to explain how people make decisions, come to judgments and solve
problems, typically when facing complex problems or incomplete
information. These rules work well under most circumstances, but in
certain cases lead to systematic cognitive biases.
-
-
Hierarchy
– Social structure organised by people called power elite ands
designed to work in favour for small group of society, which include
the power elite and their relatives. Any hierarchy "monopolise and
abuse" one particular aspect of social live. The first elaborated
hierarchy is Catholic Church, which monopolise and abuse
Christianity. The Communism monopolises and abuse political power.
The Fascism monopolises and abuse industrial and military power on
national level. New World Order intend to monopolises and abuse
industrial and military power on global scale.
-
-
Humanitarian civilisation
– is a forthcoming
civilization, which will replace Technological civilization and will
be based on knowledge, objective laws and morality.
-
-
Industrial society –
Society based on
Industry and technology. Started with Industrial revolution and
continue to present days.
-
- In the
Box; Out of Box thinking
– in common use are synonyms of rigid or creative thinking. The
phrase refers to type of mindset.
-
- Inverted
totalitarianism
- Unlike classical totalitarianism, Inverted totalitarianism does
not revolve around a demagogue or charismatic leader. It finds its
expression in the anonymity of the corporate state. It purports to
cherish democracy, patriotism and the Constitution while cynically
manipulating internal levers to subvert and thwart democratic
institutions. Political candidates are elected in popular votes by
citizens, but they must raise staggering amounts of corporate funds
to compete. They are beholden to armies of corporate lobbyists who
write the legislation. In classical totalitarian regimes, such as
Nazi fascism or Soviet communism, economics was subordinate to
politics. "Under inverted totalitarianism the reverse is true, -
economics dominates politics-and with that domination comes
different forms of ruthlessness.
-
-
Kleptocracy
(Cleptocracy) - The term “kleptocracy” is derived from the Greek
klepto+kratein
= rule by thieves. It is a term applied to a government that extends
the personal wealth and political power of government officials and
the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats) at the expense of the
population. This is corrupt and dishonest government characterised
by greed and hypocrisy.
Kleptocrats
typically use money laundering and/or anonymous banking to protect
and conceal their illegal gains.
-
-
Knowledge
is consciousness information and real engine of
social evolution. Dominate value for netocratic society. "Justified
true belief" (Plato).
-
-
Knowledge-based economy –
(See Binary
economics)
-
- Laws of
Dialectics
- The three laws are: The law of the transformation
of quantity into quality and
vice versa;
The law of the interpenetration of opposites; The law of the
negation of the negation.
-
- Land
- a factor of production comprising all naturally occurring
resources. Fundamental (core) value for Agrarian society.
-
- Living
systems –
Level of organization related to living organisms and
biological species.
By definition,
living systems are open, self-organizing systems that have the
special characteristics of life and interact with their environment.
-
- Media
manipulation
- The devious management of social opinion by medias in favour of
small group of people. It is an aspect of public relations in which
partisans create an image or argument that favours their particular
interests. Such tactics may include the use of logical fallacies and
propaganda techniques, and often involve the suppression of
information or points of view by crowding them out, by inducing
other people or groups of people to stop listening to certain
arguments, or by simply diverting attention elsewhere. Many of the
more modern mass media manipulation methods are types of
destruction, on the assumption that the public has a limited
attention span.
-
- Mind
- is synonymous with consciousness, but often used with a
connotation of being a substance or extra-human entity. Mind
collectively refers to the aspects of intellect and consciousness
manifested as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion,
will and imagination; mind is the stream of consciousness. It
includes all of the brain's conscious processes. This denotation
sometimes includes, in certain contexts, the working of the human
unconscious or the conscious thoughts of animals. "Mind" is often
used to refer especially to the thought processes of reason.
-
- Mind
control
- is a broad range of psychological tactics able to subvert an
individual's control of his own thinking, behaviour, emotions, or
decisions. The concept is closely related to hypnosis, but differs
in practical approach.
-
- Mindset
is a set of well established and powerful assumptions, methods or
notations held by one or more people, which bias decision-making
process activities and behaviours.
-
- Monarchy
- is a form of government in which an individual rules as head of
state, often for life or until abdication, and "is wholly set apart
from all other members of the state (called his subjects)." The
person who heads a monarchy is called a monarch.
-
- Money –
is a
dominant value for
capitalist society and universal measure of value.
-
- Moral –
form of social consciousness, represented accepted
norm of social behaviour.
-
-
Netocracy
(1. in technological context) - is coined by
technocrats. In this case it derives from “internet” and
“aristocracy” and refers to a perceived global upper-class that
bases its power on a technological advantage and networking skills.
-
-
Netocracy
(2. in humanitarian context) - is the next level of
development of democracy. This is newly emerging mode of
collaborative decision-making mechanism, based on digital
technologies and up-and-coming social networks. In this case the
word “netocracy” derives from “net” (web of connections) and
the ancient Greek kratos "rule" or "power” and is qualitative
new stage of development of decision-making process. Netocracy is
based on virtual global mind
or
global intellect,
social consciousness and self-consciousness. Decisions are made in
favour of society as a whole. Netocracy is
self-ruling society without power elite.
-
-
New World Order
- is
a meagre between political power and multinational corporations. It
is a view that powerful and secretive group is alleged to be
plotting to eventually rule the world via an autonomous world
government, which would replace sovereign states and other checks
and balances in world power struggles. In this theory, many
significant occurrences are said to be caused by a powerful secret
group or groups. Historical and current events are seen as steps in
an on-going plot to rule the world primarily through a combination
of political finance, social engineering, mind control, and
fear-based propaganda.
-
-
Oligarchy
- is a form of government where political power effectively rests
with a small elite segment of society (whether distinguished by
wealth, family, military powers or spiritual hegemony). The word
oligarchy is translated into "rule by few."
-
-
Overclass
- is the most powerful group in a social hierarchy, which infer
excessive and unjust privilege and exploitation of the rest of
society.
-
- Paradigm
is a theoretical or philosophical framework; distinct concept.
-
-
Plutocracy -
is a form of
government where all the state's decisions are centralized in an
affluent wealthy class of citizenry, and the degree of economic
inequality is high while the level of social mobility is low. The
word "plutocracy" itself is derived from the ancient Greek root
ploutos, meaning wealth and kratein, meaning to rule or
to govern.
-
-
Political power
- as the ability to impose one's will on others, even if those
others resist in some way. It implies a capacity for force, i.e.
violence, as well as coercion and influence.
-
- Politics
-
is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions
especially within civil governments. Politics consists of social
relations involving authority or power and refers to the regulation
of a political unit, and to the methods and tactics used to
formulate and apply policy.
-
- Power
elite
- is a small group of people who control a disproportionate amount
of wealth, privilege, and access to decision-making process on
national and international level. The power elite occupier top roles
in society’s top institutions, comprising the military, political
establishments, and the corporations. Therefore power elite is not
simply as the owners of great wealth, or of the 'means of
production'.
-
-
Power-elite model
- is a sociological analysis of politics based on social-conflict
theory that sees power as concentrated among the wealthy. The term
"power elite", is used to represent members of the upper class, who,
control the majority of a society's wealth, power, and prestige.
Members of this power elite theoretically control all three major
sectors of society: the economy, government, and the military. The
power elite therefore includes top officials in state and federal
governments, the "super rich", and top ranking officers in the
military.
-
-
Propaganda
- A concerted set of messages aimed at influencing
the opinions or behaviour of large numbers of people. Propaganda in
its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its
audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by
omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded
messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational
response to the information presented. The desired result is a
change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target
audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda is the
deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate
cognitions, and direct behaviour to achieve a response that furthers
the desired intent of the propagandist.
-
-
Principle of measure
- The fundamental principle of Dialectics that relates the
internal complexity of every thing to its apparent motion via a
series of negations says that every thing has its measure, a
unique balance of its internal definiteness (quality) and
possible external manifestations (quantity). The category of
quality conveys the idea of a thing as it is, as that very thing,
and not another. The philosophical category of quantity cannot be
reduced to mere numerical value; it also includes any structural
aspects, systemic behaviour, or other external manifestations of
internal complexity.
-
-
Qualitative -
descriptions or
distinctions based on some quality rather than on some quantity.
-
-
Qualitative leap –
in dialectics: is
transition to qualitative new form of existence. This is how
quantitative development becomes
qualitative
change.
-
-
-
Quantitative -
is a
measurement based on some quantity or number rather than on some
quality; measurements of any particular quantitative property are
expressed as a specific quantity, referred to as a unit, multiplied
by a number.
-
- Rational
system
– system characterized by mind, reason or logic. Could be
individual, human beings, social groups or humanity as a whole.
By definition,
rational systems are open and self-organizing.
-
- Religion
-
is a set of beliefs and practices, often centred upon
specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos,
and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious
law. Religion is dominant form of social consciousness for Agrarian
society.
-
-
Revolution
- is a fundamental or qualitative change in power or organizational
structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time.
Revolutions have occurred throughout human history and vary widely
in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their
results include major changes in culture, economy, and
socio-political institutions.
-
-
Self-awareness
is the explicit understanding that one exists. Furthermore, it
includes the concept that one exists as an individual, separate from
other people, with private thoughts. It may also include the
understanding that other people are similarly self-aware.
-
-
Self-consciousness
– (in psychology) is an acute sense of self-awareness. It is a
preoccupation with oneself, as opposed to the philosophical state of
self-awareness, which is the awareness that one exists as an
individual being. An unpleasant feeling of self-consciousness may
occur when we realize that we are being watched or observed, the
feeling that "everyone is looking" at us. Some people are habitually
more self-conscious than others. Feelings of self-consciousness are
sometimes associated with shyness or paranoia. Self-consciousness is
credited only with the development of identity (see the self). In an
epistemological sense, self-consciousness is a personal
understanding of the very core of one's own identity. It is during
periods of self-consciousness that people come the closest to
knowing themselves objectively.

this level and how it relates to national governments and/or
citizens is debated by both adherents and opponents to world
government.
