I ran into this following link about "global mindshift"...
http://www.globalcommunity.org/flash/wombat.shtml
it is pretty cute but precise in telling the story...
sustainability is say if we call it... providing equality in terms of resource availability and resource accessability and resource usability... then what does it fall under?? capitalism / socialism???
one may say neither.. and I tend to agree with that... but what is it then?
one may ask... why bother to define??? I may say... well it certainly is the new world order now... (if you dont agree with that... please watch TV or browse the internet) the world is getting connected more and more than ever... think of the open-source era and think of blogs like this for heaven sake... you cannot deny the fact that this has something to do with the new perspective on mother earth...
I dont want to get political here in my blog by any means... but.. as in terms of sheer concept... I remember once talking to a colleague of mine about sharing knowledge and growing as a team...
and I was looked at as a socialist... coz growing as a team is not captalist...
one may ask... is sustainability about sharing knowledge... in a big picture sense I say yes... so one can make informed decisions that may be helpful to the planet we live...
socialism is a broad and age old concept... this one-ness that we try to describe and achieve in this new world order... could this be called the new socio-capitalism....
even though socialism and capitalism as concepts are mainly associated with economy... these terms have been loosely associated through out history with ways of life...
in my littlest expreince and exposure if I attempt to define this term - socio-capitalism... here it is.... in lamest terms...
SOCIO-CAPITALISM: "what ever we do should work for and benefit the mass and yet the individual should be able to reap his / her personal benefits based on his / her efforts"
I know I sound like a politician... but if you think about it... everyone who believes in this one-ness as I do will encounter somebody in their path who doesn't believe in this.. how do we explain???
food for thought!!
