The Conflicting Interests of Christian Missionaries as it Corresponds to the Legacy of Franz Fanon:

The legacy of Franz Fanon has inspired left leaning revolutionaries in every corner of the world; some of his latter day contemporaries include the late President Qaddafi and the iconized revolutionary leader Che Ernesto Guevara. When the advent of European colonialism arrived in every literal sphere of continental Africa, the expansionist interests were competent enough to understand that an excessive use of brutish force is not going to ensure the complete capitulation of a local population. Therefore, religion was targeted as the next exploitive culprit harnessing the colonizing interests in a way that utilized spiritual and religious pretenses in an effort to justify the European presence from within continental Africa in addition to the adjacent interests which propelled the physicality of empire.

The services of Christian missionaries were employed in an effort to develop a trend within an indigenous population so that when the bastions of empire arrive, the people will be much more submissive; they would not necessarily view the arrival of modernized civilizations as one powerful entity with the intent to subjugate them, but those who maintained their long term best interests in what was initially perceived as a future that would be mutually prosperous. The Christian missionaries are not entirely at fault considering that they were exploited by the elite interests who were not only godless, but ceased to retain a single shred of humanity (many were lost beneath elitist ideologies and or mediums of thinking).

Of course there are always some bad apples within the bushel, but the underlying lesson that must be taken away should paint a clairvoyant picture of what can happen to a cause that is essentially humanitarian; however, when the manipulative interests infiltrate the transparency of the cause, then elite imperatives/objectives will corrupt the underlying cause which is nothing short of being despotic, sadistic, and downright sinister. In addition, the nomenclature of the “white man’s burden” severed as another reason which would give Christian missionaries further motivation to collaborate with the interests of their European homelands; this being the auspicious of extending Western civilization to the less fortune, but when implemented through religious premises, the missionaries contest that such intervention works toward the long term common good when in fact the indigenous territory is being exploited of its livelihood in broad daylight.

There is always that misappropriated channel and then when someone turns a blind eye on the everyday reality surmounting and proliferating in the surrounding environment, blind faith is at hand and the individual loses their own inner consciousness beneath an alias of their own self-proclaimed principles which is not entirely in line with the pure and simple truth. Many contest that Franz Fanon sought to expose this grave flaw behind Christianity (such an effort was initially successful in the philosophic sense) which was amplified through the Africa experience, but as Fanon became more of an internationalist toward the end of his life, his theory would contest that such methods were essentially prevalent in every corner of the colonized world.

History will remember Fanon as one who championed wholesome humanistic values beneath socialistic and communistic undertones; after all, he received medical treatment for Leukemia in the former Soviet Union which demonstrates how close he was to the ideology championed by the Eastern Bloc. His idea of harmonized bondage through the common injustices that have been inflicted by people of color in addition to their post-colonial challenges may not have been enough to create a concrete ideology in the traditional sense, but his persistence to empower the developing world will forever be remembered in the minds of visionaries and revolutionaries alike. Nonetheless, considering that we must all live in peace, harmony, and tolerance among the religions of the world, we must be careful about supporting a claim insisting that one religion is a pesticide which can eventually lead down a path of docile dogma and bigotry among members of the general population.

Addressing the Issue of Reading Comprehension among American Children & Young Adults:

The mediums of learning and the way in which information is received will determine the comprehensibility of the matter in question; when it comes down to reading, this is a rule that could not be more applicable to the theme of reading comprehension among children and young adults. The rigor that forms the backbone of public education eventually becomes homogenized and this transpires through the standardization of reading comprehensibility; this means that minimum percentages are imposed on students so that they can reach a level that is generally considered acceptable by the school board or administration. One conflicting interest that is attached to this factor is that so many of these standardized percentages tremendously vary all depending on the immediate expectations of the school district or administration in question. Throughout much of the continental United States, a foreign or national observer for that matter will be able to come across sharp differences between the standardized percentages among various states; some are high while others are drastically much lower than the other.

The method in which these standardized expectations are implemented into the actual school system is not usually thought to impact the idea of reading comprehensibility when put up against the localized, micro, or domesticated expectations retained by the individual school or district, but on the whole, if the theme is more central in its minimum expectations of a student’s reading potential, then perhaps this is where an effective remedy to the outstanding issue can be directed. It almost seems that so many different expectations generate sharp degrees of divisions among public school bodies which find that the minimum averages usually stay the same for extended periods of time and eventually become perpetual trends.

For example, it is no secret that the California public school system (in addition to many areas of the southern United States) dangerously lacks behind many of the public school systems that can be found all across the upper Midwest, but in many respects, this has been a residual trend for some time and bettering the actual quality of the education received per student improves only minimally; this stands true with these multifarious standards which are then adopted by the same school administrations and boards.

If it is in our interest to better the overall quality of reading comprehension among students (we can naturally assume that the majority are included beneath the umbrella of the nation’s many public school systems), then we must work toward a universal standard that is observed all across the nation which seeks to address and implement remedies in an effort to counter the negativity of this grave issue. The central variable here does not seek to advocate greater concessions of government bureaucracy at the federal level, but a uniform standard which can carry the educational growth of the nation as a whole is advisable and should be undertaken immediately. Minimizing the qualitative differences is the first step that needs to be addressed in what will initially be an applied effort to better the quality of our nation’s education which will then have ripple effects impacting the methodologies in which students can improve their reading comprehension.

Ultimately, students must be given an opportunity to harness their own autonomy allowing them to implement an individualized method of reading comprehension which directly harnesses an individual’s unique learning style in an effort to maximize scales of reading effectiveness. As long as students are treated as commodities evaluated merely through numerical percentages, then divisions of reading comprehensibility will deepen which will directly reflect on the overall quality of a nation’s/society’s education, its standards, and above all its initial effectiveness.

Invigorating Human Potential, Cognition, & Intelligence for the Betterment of Human Civilization

Just the other day, a new idea came into mind suggesting that the irreversibility of time and space generates a unique correlation with the structuralized rigor that builds the integral foundations of our societies and civilizations. Based on what we can see with our naked eyes, the progression of time is constant and this applies to the method in which our societies and civilizations exist; they are anything but stationary. This is a clause that directs a considerable level of interest on the role of the individual and how they participate from within their societies. Individual human beings are almost comparable to celestial objects and planets which dissipate themselves throughout the known universe.

Each person represents a planet within the universe that we can commonly classify as human civilization on our planet Earth; this aspect interchanges with the notion that to our immediate knowledge, the human brain is the most complicated and misunderstood substance in the known universe. The functionality of our existence on the face of this Earth depends on our integration and cooperation into a systematical rigor which generates the communities, societies, and nations in which we exist on an everyday basis. All the while, every single effort of any living and breathing human being can equally ease or condemn the bulwark of our civilization.

This is an idea which is consistent with an underlying and lesser known truth insisting that a single individual has the potential to change the directional course of civilization based on their individualistic deeds. The rest of the masses will follow suit in a harmonious way which ensures that the advocated cycle instigated by the lone individual achieves some sort of fruition and this is directly redeemable by the outputted efforts of others. Our mind creates the reality of the world in which we see with our humanly senses of sight, touch, sound, and smell; this generates the universality of our societies, societal preconditions, and placement within the greater fabric in which we again refer to as the umbrella of human civilization.

However, the means of interpretation and the ideas in which we take away from these three categories are never quite the same and cognitively differentiate on a person-to-person basis. In a world that is becoming increasingly homogenized politically, socially, economically, academically, scientifically, and technologically, there is one unavoidable realization which begins to imply that the role of the individual is gradually becoming inconsequential. This hitherto cannot be further from the case; there is a reason why super-states and the power blocs in which they create invest so much of their resources on espionage, intelligence, and counter-intelligence.

The most powerful entity known to humankind can falter through the deeds of a single individual. This is not always measured through feats of intellectual or cognitive brilliance, but can be as easy as an individual’s refusal to be counted in a rigged election or a corrupted societal process. The deeds of one can create that lasting impression from within the minds of the people and they harness the micro-universes of their minds to appropriate such a given development in a cohesive and comprehensive manner. Do people collectively act, function, and associate with each other as if they were mere sheep? This is only true if such conformity is conducted on a basis of blind faith and submission of the cognitive self; however, when one takes that noticeable stand that is equivocally interchangeable with popular disposition of the people in the aggregate, then the masses will be given a reason to instigate a trend of transition which can potentially work for a bettered societal substance.

This does not always imply that social unrest will arrive through the imminence of a revolution, but a raised public consciousness heightens awareness and creates a sharpened understanding about the situational reality that confronts the whole of society which is then transferrable to the human condition. Individuals must be in a position to harness their cognitive, interpretive, and intellectual capabilities so that they can stand for their own best interests and this begins with individualistic deeds signifying the near endless diversity of human intelligence. Such a method serves as a profound remedy that can be used against the forces of totalitarianism and authoritarianism, but the people must be audacious enough to take the first step.

Strength through Enlightenment: Differentiated & Equivocal World Rivalries & its Relevance to the People:

Those of us who make an effort to get in touch with our intellectual side are in a much better position to appreciate the seriousness of the world around us. This should not immediately imply that the inquisitive party must go out of their way to dwell on all of the miniscule issues that confront the everyday rigor of life, but brings an individual to a point where they can appreciate the reality of the bigger picture. Allies and adversaries are equally attached to the abstracted theme that is designated as the bigger picture, but those who seek to dwell on the indifferences will never be able to make such a connection; at least it will take quite a while until such a realization is achieved.

This highlights an underlying concern that overlaps with the very method in which sovereign nations and international powerbrokers interact; rivalries are created because there are two different parties that are essentially trying to work toward the same essential interest. The trial of human history is vibrantly illuminated with such rivalries and human beings have been hurled against each other in addition to their ideas in open fields of warfare; however, the actual means of engagement does not always initiate itself on the open battlefield. On those even rarer occasions, the expansionist muscle behind a political, diplomatic, economic, or military rivalry resolves its indifferences with its adversaries behind closed doors sparing the resources of their so called war machines.

It is then incumbent upon every generation to inquire into the actual legitimacy of a given rivalry that seeks greater concessions of world dominance and hegemony over a designated interest or umbrella of interests; the reason why interests of endeavor (oriented through political, diplomatic, economic, and military causes) must be designated is a resultant in the sole reality that human history has been defined by these entities throughout the course of civilized time. The sole prevalence of the everyday people is caught in the middle of such struggles regardless if they actually approve of the initiated actions. Those who are in manipulative positions of power are well aware of the strengths behind the sociological condition of humanity; this is just a fancy way of alluding to the means in which a power broker attempts to export the legitimacy of their cause to the people in an effort to gain greater concessions of support from the general public.

Those who are inquisitive enough will not only dwell on the legitimacy of what can be considered as a hegemonic undertaking, but once such a concession of interest actually finds its way into the cognitive innards of the individual inquirer, the same party will question the actual legitimacy of rivalries in their own making. This is not to suggest that rivalries are ultimately negative in nature which brings about the detrimental qualities from within the diversified realms of human civilization, but if a rivalry is created which increases divisional segregations throughout the world, then a negativist outcome is almost unavoidable. The outbreak of both world wars presents its substance as two different culprits which emerged as a result of such rivalries. It all comes down to the actual substance that is being pursued by the undertakers who are allocated the power and resources to mobilize their own societies and nations for the pursuit of an expansionist interest.

In the end, it all comes down to the orientation of the effort. If powerbrokers are merely interested in making their fiefdoms more powerful, wealthier, and hegemonic at the expense of the people, then the criminality behind expansionism remains consistent with the actual orientation of what morphs into an exploitive undertaking. On the other hand, if such interests seek to gain greater concessions of affluence internationally which diverges toward humbling, egalitarian, and peace loving interests, then such efforts must remain unhindered considering that most of these efforts emerge from genuine, authentic, and transparent origins. Nonetheless, hegemonic, despotic, and exploitive interests can also hide behind what appears to be a humanitarian effort, but it is this potentiality which should insist that the people must constantly strive to keep themselves informed about the outside world in addition to the long term activities of their governments. The longer the people remain ignorant and apathetic about the outside world, than the wealthy and powerful will join their forces together in an effort to utilize the bulwark of the masses to do their bidding in the most sadistic of fashions.

We can shatter our ignorance by realizing that the fruits of knowledge are virtually free for the individual undertaking, we as human beings should constantly strive to achieve greater concessions of enlightenment for the sole purpose of ensuring our liberation and emancipation as sapient and sentient beings which provides a greater safety net keeping those elite exploitive interests in check. If we fail to do so, then the worst possible conspiracy theory has the general tendency of transcending into a real world reality in which the bulwark of the masses are never in a position to cope or deal with once that contested reality unfolds on the people. Human beings are reluctant to buy into the worst fears and paranoia of an articulatory personality, but if there is not a slight concession of relevance that is allotted to legitimize at least a shred of its substance, then the people can only anticipate the worst due to their own accepted ignorance.

Lessening Philosophical Dogma in Favor of Practical Pragmatism:

Those who are conscious enough to be in a position where they can acknowledge the prevalence of a higher power are ones who preoccupy themselves with a single thread of determinism; those who seek to find and uncover absolute imperatives that can serve as laws which govern the functionality of the universe in addition to hums civilization seek to uncover that sense of security. An entire nation can drive itself to insanity over petty disputes and philosophical perceptions when attempting to implement a new governing order that addresses the division and social disparity which impacts the masses. The people are interested in coexisting with a system that enables them to live in a way not infringed upon by the prevailing preconditions of society.

The interests and necessities of the people argue for their essential desires which directly relate to these two categorical interests. We are presented with the modern precursor that enables the proliferation of ideologies which encompass the undertones of moral, ethical, and social imperatives which severe as the essential foundation that generates a government, its adjacent institutions, and various manifestations which impact the livelihoods of the people. Arguably, there is always a need to steer away from over-stated threads of idealism which produce trends of dogma and it is this substance which produces the driving forces which prompt extremism.

Therefore, one must be inquisitive enough to inquire into a subject matter which is exclusively concerned with the legitimacy of government and the social order imposed on the central populaces. This imperative is narrowed down to two limiting factors which produce the traditional divisions from within the central institutions of society and this materializes into a difference that is torn between the forces of interpretation and idealism. The people are able to establish some sort of vision about society through the experiences in which they are able to accumulate on the ground; however, this vision of societal sight does not always factor in the perplexed density of politics and the institutions which are entrusted with the distribution and preservation of societal governance on the ground. This aligns with a social order which is then reinforced by a philosophical vision and it is this aspect which produces the blueprint in which the rest of society can materialize.

The dispute of where governmental power should be allocated presents us with one of the central philosophical disputes which has preoccupied the intellectual consciousness of human civilization since the earliest preliminary stage leading to the creation of the first manmade society or community; the figures of national population consolidates a standing index which alludes to the prominence of society in terms of its actual numerical qualities (population, gross domestic product, demographic properties).

In the generic sense of the idea, a greater index of numbers when applied to the generalist notion of the population is traditionally thought to lead to increased concessions of social sophisticated combined with its grasp on modernity; as it corresponds to the general timeframe in question. A greater and denser population does not necessarily mean that an increased level of social sophistication will be at hand which will then generate the foundational pillars of advanced societal modernity. If we are to observe the density of the world community at the dawning of the twenty-first century, it will be found that the most obscure and backward spheres on the planet emerge in the form of the developing world; within this concentrated category, it can be confirmed that the developing world contains the highest index of the human population the world over.

Societies beneath this category suffer from the most elementary causes which serve as the central catalysts leading to the deconstruction of their respective societies and communities. One of the exceptions that can be made arrived in the form of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) which has turned the philosophical tangents of Maoist communism into a mediating counter balance which has accepted greater threads of revision which has allowed the fruition of a market based economy within the same nation. The high density of China’s national population may produce a burden on the international community in terms of the resources required which sustains the most populous nation on the face of the Earth, but once the hardline ideological elements are passed on, its dogma was toned down over a period of time and the central governing authority implemented policies that were more pragmatic and practical which are incidentally fitting of the ground reality. This is where the clash of ideological interpretation through its philosophical accountability comes into question.

Divisions were generated and proliferated throughout the whole of the nation, but the voice and needs of the people emerge in a way where greater forms of acknowledged are appropriated to suit the situational reality that prevails on the ground which directly impacts the masses. It is at this point where idealism meets reason based on its interchanged coercion with the reality of the societal precondition in question. In respects to the Chinese analogy of the PRC, the modern history that surrounds China brings human civilization with a people and diversified culture that has been subjected to foreign exploitation which emerged through its colonization by competing European power houses of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The victory of the Chinese people’s revolution was considered to be a triumph against the outside forces which have exerted a show of manipulative control over China for centuries. This factor was also combined with the societal backwater and rampant illiteracy that had spread in every corner of the nation; at this point of time, it had been literally centuries since the height of any imperial Chinese dynasty. Once the people’s revolution achieved its victory, the implementation of ideological tangents were at an all-time high and the people were accepting by majority of what was being advocated largely through the notion that the substance being advocated was ideologically idealistic.

When something appears to be too good to be true, the people are willing to accept the advocated ideological substance through a whim of blind faith, but this is often rhetorical simply because the people are concerned with bettering their living standards and do not have much to lose considering the prevailing circumstances unique to this analogous comparison. This hitherto implies that it may take ideological dogma to instigate a fully-fledged revolution, but once the transition achieves fruition and stagnates, it must be confirmed that some form of compromising revision should occur somewhere along the inevitable ling. This is what brought China out of its third world designation and into the international spotlight as a world superpower.

The compromising force of rhetorical ideological revision proved to be the decisive factor which initiated that salvaging aftereffect which averted the retrogression of the PRC as a standing nation. The so called revisionists who toned down the ideological principles of Mao’s “Little Red Book” were able to arrive at the realization that philosophical dogma applied through its ideological aspirations would not save the whole of China’s long term predicaments which concerned its survival before the rest of the world community. Often times, revisionists have a much better grasp on what it means to compromise through the power of mediation; an applied interest is generally applied to the imperatives which influence the flow of the bigger picture.

After the hardliners were replaced with more passive figureheads, the institutionalized elements that would emerge after the initiated revision was mindful of China’s increasing population which served as one of the motives that supported the passive approach. As a result, China relaxed the hardline Maoist principles which provided the PRC with a means to emerge as a world power at the dawning of the twenty-first century. The sooner developing nations with high populations realize and embrace this imperative, the sooner their respective internalized governing and economic institutions will be able to join the world community as an emerging superpower in their own respective right.

The Sequential Pattern of Truth, Knowledge & Enlightenment – The Impacts on People & Their Civilizations:

There is one reoccurring truth which continues to undermine the certainty of what we can comprehensively appreciate at any given period of time. We are concerned about the pursuit of absolute truths when the functionality of the outside world thrives on convoluted manifestations that can take on a wide variety of shapes, forms, and directional qualities. This concerns the distribution of knowledge, truth, and the aspectual qualities of enlightenment. Human beings have a general inclination to gravitate further toward absolute certainties in an effort to rationalize sentience and sapience on an individual level. The closer we are to a certainty than the closer we are to achieving a more formidable appreciation of the outside world; however, even this sentiment is not entirely convincing in itself when presented to the prying eyes of the skeptic.

There are specific facets of knowledge and truth that will forever remain stationary in an unquestionable manner. Let us now take a moment to observe the two following examples; rain precipitation that descends from the atmosphere will be pulled down to the surface of the Earth in a downward motion due to the forces of gravity. Powerful rays of light that are omitted from the sun provide a natural equilibrium which sustains life all throughout the solar system. There is virtually no need to debate the merits of these principles due to the fact that both of these examples serve as absolute truths which are tangibly certain while being effortlessly obvious to a clear line of sight. It is not merely enough to gravitate closer to one certainty, but attaining the fruits of knowledge produces a burden on the individual who is in the active pursuit of the truth.

In this case, is it possible to suggest that pursing the truth combined together with the forces of knowledge is virtually one and the same thing? Common sense would agree with this notion considering that one cannot have the slightest concession of knowledge without the prevalence of truth. Once we embrace both of these qualities, it becomes abundantly clear that those who are in direct possession of enlightenment will be in a position where they will have uncovered truths and aspectual qualities of knowledge which enable a brightened consciousness. Human beings will constantly require a wide array of resources if there is any hope in sustaining equilibrium from within the preliminary, present, and future states of existence.

A human being must do more than simply exist. The individual has a responsibility to themselves in order to achieve a bettered and heightened degree of individualized efficiency in an effort to maximize their introverted and extroverted threads of resourcefulness. Retaining the forces of truth and knowledge harnesses enlightenment, but this does not immediately suggest that the ultimate goal should tap into the resourceful qualities of an individual; those who are led down to the path to enlightenment only to be convinced that they must conform in a way to allot their resourcefulness to an agenda creates that worst case scenario which can lead to utter exploitation. Any line of inquisitiveness will not stick to deterministic overtones when confronted with a single term. The theme of resourcefulness should not immediately imply that the enlightened individual naturally conforms to the systematic rigor of an institutionalized system of command and control.

There is a unique linguistic quality that has the general tendency to interchange with many equivocal variations that observes and utilizes a universal method. This is specifically concerned with the way an individual perceives the meaning of a particular word in an effort to apply some sort of interpretation. One’s idea of resourcefulness may not necessary align with the viewpoint of another party, but a general appreciation of the term is there in addition to a general understanding of what the term actually means. Tapping into the bountiful qualities of individualized human potential generates the forerunning precursors enabling the sustained efficiency that supports the whole of an entire civilization.

An individual is exposed to truth and knowledge so that they can chime into a clearer perceptive channel of their surrounding reality; this enables an intuitive cognitive awakening on behalf of the individual and through their enlightenment they can determine the most efficient medium to channel their outputted resourcefulness in an effort to better the world as they see it. People make and break their civilizations and an enlightened will of the people has the tendency to save, preserve, or destroy societies and nations which falls beneath that greater civilized umbrella.

Revitalizing Hopeful Posterity for the Whole of Human Civilization:

The fortitude of the human soul presents us with an everyday substance that is often neglected, undermined, and exploited. The individuality of mankind depends on the substance of the human soul which enables the everyday being of an individual. We formulate our worldviews based on those intuitive truths that we know to be true from within our hearts even if we do not have the physical evidence to prove its tangible feasibility to the naked eye. The presence of the human soul is further amplified through the various facets and diversified manifestations that represent truths and provable realities that can be uncovered by the inquisitor.

The pursuit of the truth often leads toward pathways that seek to bring about greater concessions of peace, justice, and stability to a given environment in which an individual human being acknowledges as their respective society. Determining the meaning of normalcy can take quite a while to perfect over extended periods of time, but it is commonly thought that the more an individual conforms to the status quo, the more in touch they are going to be with all substances that can be dubbed as utterly normal. Once a societal ideal has managed to replicate its founding before the naked eye, the same idea suddenly morphs into a full-fledged society which is then sustained by a day-to-day routine.

That daily cycle which produces the everyday rigor behind a societal routine can represent one of the greatest manifestations of societal normalcy, but the masses that have been preconditioned to societally conform from the ground level are not entirety familiarized with what it means to be intuitively inquisitive. Those who seek to encapsulate their power and control over society depend on a pattern that perpetuates everyday rigor combined together with subliminal messages that are hidden in plain sight in order to preserve the status quo in which they impose on the masses; when an entire population is preoccupied with conforming to the status quo just to be perceived as normal before their societal peers, then it becomes abundantly clear that a great distraction is at hand. All the while, the exploitation of the masses becomes inevitable and obliviousness to manipulative control emerges as the byproduct on behalf of the everyday people.

Individuals and the denominational societal circles they create beneath the greater umbrella of society serve as the vulnerable culprits who are responsible for the continued preservation that presents the force of an empowered status quo; intuitive truths vibrantly communicate to the innards of the soul in diversified methodologies and this is individually subjected to the worldview of the lone individual. In order to generate a palatable variation of society, it is arbitrarily thought that the bulwark of the masses must conform to the rules, regulations, laws, and principles that have been imposed by a tiny minority who retain a secretive agenda which typically contradicts its public equivalent. Most do not even bother to question the legitimacy of any previously stated example in what would be an effort to ensure that the incumbent “societal power broker” upholds its integrity, pursues the truth, and generates a mode of verifiable transparency to its people. Any system of governance that contradicts any of these aspectual qualities would otherwise be repugnant.

Surrounding ourselves beneath the hazed cloud of conspiratorial paranoia will inevitably drive the individual inquisitor insane if they expose their own conscious to such a field of view for an extended period of time. Exposing corruption, deceit, and utter falsehoods that pertains to the functional governance must not encourage the proliferation of conspiracies whatsoever, but must redirect the central attention spans of the masses toward a wide awakening which is then reinforced through billets of truth only to be reinforced with the forces of common sense.

The mere prevalence of an individual human life presents us with a rather invaluable substance. Each individual should harness and utilize their sapient being as a mortal human in an effort to harness their unique industriousness in the greatest possible capacity (this is what it means to maximize human efficiency); however, these outputted efforts should not be directed toward elite power blocs which seek to manipulate the intellectual capital of the people, but must work toward exposing the truth, correcting while addressing the flaws of society, and reinstituting a societal rebound which strives to work toward that bettered horizon of hopeful posterity.

The Path to Enlightenment Flanked with Tangible Knowledge & Sustaining Truths:

Those of us who can make an effort to think within the inquisitive human consciousness have already crossed that thin line which leads to greater concessions of enlightenment. The substance of knowledge has the inherent nature to go hand-in-hand with the definitive idea of enlightenment, but both seem to take on an epistemological nature. The attainment of enlightenment leads to a greater level of inquisitiveness and we begin to realize that the rest of the outside world seems to be a lot more complex and convoluted before crossing over that same thin invisible line. Measuring our competence as a human race is often redeemed through our ability to attain enlightenment, but ultimately, the generations that will follow in the future will ultimately determine how that past “enlightened knowledge” was utilized during its respective timeframe.

Those who seek to undertake a journey down that aluminous path which will lead to further concessions of enlightenment are consciously aware that a great responsibility looms ahead in the horizon; deciphering the truth through enlightened fruits of knowledge has the general tendency to destroy and undermine the carefree comfort bubble that we once had as raw and naive beings that signifies the preliminary stages of our conscious human development. We seek enlightenment solely because the entire process is perceived to be liberating, but many do not immediately realize that the steps that are taken toward the same substance generates burdensome struggles uprooting that preliminary sense of peace that we once had before making that. Realizing the truth for what it may happen to be in its absolute sense may be rather difficult to accept at first, but this is where we need to make that definitive differentiation between the standardized facets of knowledge and the unique fruits that symbolize enlightenment.

A detrimental situation may happen to exist, but our enlightened consciousness generates the hope, interconnection to resilience, and triumphant resolve which ensures that we are able to preserve against the odds that actively confront us in any given societal environment; this concerns past, present, and future contexts. Ulterior agendas that cater to an elite interest retains the general tendency to be negative in nature, but where there is negativism, there should be an equal force that can rise to the challenge in an effort to work against these misappropriated threads of power, wealth, and affluence. The worst atrocity exists when an individual, an entire community, a whole society, and the full thrust of a civilization are oblivious to the realities that generate so much injustice, disparity, and corruption from within the substance that we can classify as the societal ranks bringing in the masses into one collective whole. Crossing over that thin line which leads to a synthesis of enlightenment is supported by the truths which uphold the foundations of knowledge. It is this effort that creates one of the greatest tasks for the lone individual; often times, once they cross over into that line, a point of no return is at hand.

The blatant truth combined together with the relative nature of knowledge produces a sense of responsibility that craves to awaken the inquisitive consciousness of those who are still asleep when it comes down to configuring what is really going on in and around society. As human beings, we retain an underwritten responsibility to ourselves to join the ranks of the enlightened; in the end, knowledge and the prevalence of the pure and simple truth is free for the taking and priceless to those who cherish its manifested principles, lessons, and ideological foundations. The more enlightened a generation becomes, then a greater likelihood for mankind’s salvation will be at hand for the whole of its civilization and this brings about the attainment of a reassuring sentiment which harmonizes, pacifies, and controls the uncertain insecurity undermining our development as a sentient and sapient species.

Imperatives that Regulate International Equilibrium:

The world of the twenty-first century is notorious for its international ideas and aspirations which cease to be confined to a single sphere of the world community. Whenever there is a philosophical paradox, we are confronted with a convoluted definition that is generic, but is also abstract which leaves the individual inquirer in a position where they are constantly pursuing various threads of definitive substance clarity. Before we are able to attain that sense of clarity, we are often confronted with an inherited bias which is usually a byproduct of an environmental upbringing; the questionable substance that must be brought into perspective must concern itself with the overall quality of a society and its surrounding civilization.

Worldviews are shaped, defined, and broken based on the environmental imperatives which thrive on the societal surface and it is this substance that retains profound ramifications on the individual beholder. The idea that supports the near endless interpretations and philosophical manifestations of internationalism exists as no exception whatsoever; the revolutionary transgressions that have been made possible through the innovative threads of technological modernity has severed as one of the most potent forces which has sold the idea of internationalism to the public masses worldwide.

This is a group or generic majority that can be classified as the umbrella of individuals around the world who are in tune with the progressive force of technological modernity. In this sense, is it possible to generate a thread of clarity without utilizing the force of a definitive substance such as technological modernity in order to provide the supporting idea of internationalism with a greater degree of meaning to those inquisitive inquirers? The generic notion of internationalism is definitely nothing revolutionary to mankind considering that the integral meaning behind the term has been with human civilization since the reign of the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations (Assyria & Babylon as two pristine examples). The initial idea that encourages the manifestation of expansionism is made possible through some definitive interpretation of internationalism through the bastion of political, diplomatic, economic, and military power at one given period of time. Since the end of the Second World War, a general perception has been proliferated through the horrors and hardships of open warfare and it is this fundamental which has given internationalism is contemporary meaning in the immediate present; this being defined as an ecumenical theme which is then situated upon the force of open mindedness.

The contemporary meaning of this term is not terribly well rooted in the sense that the modernized (post-modern) interpretation of internationalism retains its roots throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries respectively. Intellectual and philosophical personalities have envisioned the replication of a world entity that contains and retains the political, economic, social, and military institutions of a traditional nation-state for centuries, but it has all been a question of feasibility and practicality when committing an initiative that is audacious enough to act on such a grandiose proposition. The pretense which could wield enough force to motivate the consolidation and creation of a world state beneath such wide ranging denominations (as previously stated) is usually dependent on some sort of detrimental event of epic proportions.

The twentieth century is marked by two different world wars in addition to so many proxy wars that had emerged in almost every geo-political arena of the international community. The fundamental pretense which could generate the capacity to take such a drastic step forward under the alias of a world nation situated upon egalitarian principles has already materialized beneath the institutional fabric of the United Nations in addition to its predecessor the League of Nations. We are then brought to question another paradoxical inquiry which would inquire into the legitimacy of both organizational models; this being irrespective of real world tangibility, but the centralized emphasis should be concerned with the initial methodology that is observed in order to safeguard the foundation of that internationalist example in question. The League of Nations had existed as a proposition that was often debated among the elite circles of the latter part of the nineteenth century longer that it did as a fully functional organization.

The unanimous discrepancy that was observed by the league in addition to the fact that no standing military force had existed beneath its umbrella proved to be a great disadvantage considering that no entity could actually enforce the statures of international law. The league’s ultimate failure was its inability to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War which was largely due to the fact that the rise of authoritarianism across continental Europe had engendered those belligerent personalities who could only respect their own elite forms of international law, not that adopted by the whole of the world community.

There was a hidden bias that was imposed on the league considering that the defeated powers of the First World War had observed that the bulk of the same organization emerged through the politicized idealism purported by the victorious Allies. In this case, there was a certain degree of power brokerage that produced a form of hegemony on the whole of what can be considered as an organization that is situated on the premise of idealism. As we reflect on the larger than life personalities who are interchangeable with the direction application of extreme authoritarianism of the twentieth century (Hitler and Mussolini), it is almost laughable to think that either belligerent personality would be willing to succumb to the proclamations made by the League of Nations considering that no show of force was present in an effort to ensure the compliance of the antagonist powers. The main shortcoming that had undermined the first trial of egalitarian based internationalism had failed solely due to the fact that the brilliant measures made in the name of statecraft did not have the force in order to implement the supposed will of the international community.

In an ideal world, we may care to envision a world that is illuminated through an enlightened civilized consciousness which celebrates pacifism, but what may seem to be ideologically sound beneath its blanketed idealism is not practical in its totality; in the end, the parameters of idealism is not enough to salvage the bulwark of international community and humanity at large. Such a manifested disposition will only lead to an endless cycle of political correctness which has now defined the situational reality that surrounds the forefront of the world community at the beginning of the twenty-first century. After the Second World War, the United Nations was able to pick up from where the league had let off, but we have now encountered a reality that is stifled by institutionalization and rival agencies that exclusively work for their own agendas which is nothing more than just another appropriated form of idealistic cynicism.

The equilibrium that can be support the depth of egalitarian worldliness can only be sustained with the absence of overzealous institutionalization and elitism. The sooner the security council is decommissioned at the peak of the United Nations will be the moment when a great opportunity will be at hand for those who seek to unilaterally revitalize the priorities of mankind in an effort to concentrate on a greater depth of equilibrium which leads to the attainment of a genuine new world order for the betterment of humanity.

Analyzing the Attached Image: Observing Some Antagonizing Predicaments of the Developing Third World:

Even if such an imagine were to make it onto the front cover of a major media publication, the fact still stands, just how much is going to change once the general public receive direct exposure to such an inconvenient real world reality? Are the people of the so called “free world” ready to step up to the plate in an effort to act on such an atrocity in a proactive way? The fact of the matter is that the masses really do not care which is a sign of the prevailing apathy that has come to define the reality of the twenty-first century (which is clearly evident among the youth); this particular timeframe will more than likely be remembered as a period of great ignorance, arrogance, blindness, selfishness, self-righteousness, and inconsideration by successive generations in a not too distant future. That is to suggest if we are to receive a proactively progressive future. It is beginning to seem that in this day and age people in general cannot be bothered to do something significant in order to change an injustice that seems to incessantly prevail; at the end, we would rather like to have a night out on the town, glutinously treat ourselves to nourishment, and surround ourselves beneath the fold of mindless threads of entertainment.

From a rational point of view, the atrocity that is depicted in this image is nothing new to the human condition; there are inner city orphans right here in the United States that lose their only surviving parent to a cancerous disease just because they do not have the proper health insurance. Therefore, how is that situation any different from what is being depicted in this image? Why can’t we equally spearhead and publicize a campaign of concerned citizens that focuses on the war on poverty which is just as detrimental when compared to life in a war zone; many seem to forget that poverty and the scene of open warfare often go hand-in-hand with each other. As the only surviving superpower of the Cold War era, the United States maintains a rather sensitive place all throughout the international community which is then attached to a world of essential responsibilities; if the United States were to suddenly retreat from its international standing in an immediate fashion, then international disarray and chaos will be imminent as belligerent interests of a lesser geo-political capacity (selected members of the BRIC countries) emerge to absorb the remains of the American Empire. This is a principle that relates to superpowers in general, not just the United States; even American hegemony is not supreme anymore. Are we just naturally preconditioned to be more condemning of militarized action simply because it is an easier culprit to target?

Suggestively, the same image here can be changed to depict a collage of war/poverty orphans over the last twentieth century that shows the diversity of such a human atrocity. There are Vietnamese, Cambodian, Hmong, Sierra Leonean, Congolese, Somali, Chilean, Mexican, and Basque children who have been orphaned due to war related or militarized atrocities which further emanates the sheer brutality of the last century. Furthermore, as human beings, we often align ourselves to our own nationalistic (aggregated bottom line) causes while believing that our little group is supposed to be special when in fact there are so many other nations and oppressed peoples who can directly attest to the same fundamental depth of human atrocity. This in itself is an ardent sign and symptom of short-sidedness and one sidedness; if we seek to contain and virtually control the outbreak of humanitarian iconoclasms and or atrocities, then the applied effort must be unilateral in its orientation and mankind must mutually help its own in an effort to fundamentally better itself as a race and civilization.

Imagery such as this should only speak of a human atrocity and the same image should not be exploited to serve some sort of agenda, irrespective of its orientation. We are living in the aged of digitized communication and applying that unilateral humanitarian capability which targets the root causes of humanitarian travesties (poverty and war related causes of action worldwide) presents us with a remedy that can be uniquely domestic in its application and wide reaching through diversified resources as culprits of inhumanity are targeted by mankind as a whole. In order to help and assist each other, we require contributive resources from outside parties in an effort to make that difference; why must such an approach be micromanaged when there is great potential to allocate resources based on collaborative threads of availability, practicality, and necessity? It is this underlying idea that could potentially replicate what the United Nations failed to do as an organization. We need to do more than just attend rallies that protest, but to create organizations that can resiliently ACT on the advocated rhetoric.
