State of The Union / January 2018 #USA #socialresponsibility #humanrights #economy #education #empathiccapitalism #positivedisruption

Decade after decade, the framing of the priorities of most importance in the United States of America appear to be staggered by the special interests of the campaigning patrons of congressional and presidential leadership. Such vital interests as the economy, health care and security, are three very prescient local and national matters which should be of great concern to all of us, and have remained so. Great successes over the last 12 months in these areas cannot be ignored and must be brought to light. The people and government that make the United States of America have in many respects grown stronger, become more mindful on the local, national and global level and begun to participate more in the movement of choosing the direction in which to continue to steer the country.  As of January 2018, the economy appears to have rebounded with a tremendous growth in credible job employment across the nation and a stock market that has added over 7,000 points since President Dona...

ā€˜Hello Brother, hello sister’ / #Israel #Palestine #Jerusalem #politicalscience #positivedisruption

Recently, the President of the United States of America formally acknowledged Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It was a decision mainly met with contention from leaders in the Islamic world, and good tidings from Israel itself. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Jewish-state, staunch allies of the American government with deep cultural ties with the American Judeo-Christian culture, have marked the occasion of American recognition of Jerusalem with a joy that has been long in anticipation. In this essay, I briefly expand on the human rights component of the contending issue between Palestine and Israel, and on a wider lens, the use of Palestine by internal and external powers as a proxy to militarily fight the Jewish homeland, destabilize the safety of the region, and in effect create an uneasy status quo of constant existential threats. This middle-eastern city has historically been a staging ground of battle for thousands of years between Jewish, Chr...

Targeting Income Inequality with #EmpathicCapitalism / #business #SocEnt #economy #WallStreet #parents #teachers

Despite the incredible growth of the American stock market, ā€˜trickle-down economics’ remains a misleading assumption that somehow the gains of the capitalist system will reach people who do not participate in it. It is true, the United States is the most capitalistic nation in the world, and our free market principle supplies our economy with the most unrestrained money-making mechanism clear across the planet. Yet, this is a tale of two cities. One in which capitalists endeavor and hustle; in which self-employed business men and women work towards creating work, creating income and creating opportunity, and one in which the rest of the people work for these, indirectly appreciating the gains of the economic creators. Yes, it happens to be that as capitalistic endeavors scale, employees indirectly benefit from the growth of the company, albeit, in a more limited way than the actual founder and or leader of the company. Now, in order to think like a capitalist, work as on...

A Vision for A New Era of Empathy in America / #humanrights #leadership #womensrights #criticalthinking #socialresponsibility

A Vision for A New Era of Empathy in America Posted by  COACHBILL007   on   DECEMBER 4, 2017 EDIT Children and adults who grow up in a society were life is wholeheartedly valued would benefit from a new social compact. The changing of culture from base and immoral, towards greater degrees of respect, decency and valuing of human dignity is needful. I see a land where women are treated with respect and esteemed for their intellects. I see a land where men live according to the highest ideals God intended for them. I see a land were women are reverenced and built up to be critical thinking leaders, more so than they are now, and I see a land were boys and girls are taught to respect how life is formed and cared for from the moment of conception to the moment of age-old death. A people who no longer kill themselves at the moment of their formation are a people who begin to think about everything else in their life differently, even how they govern each oth...

The Golden Rule & The Duty of Critical Thinkers / #socialresponsibility #edchat #TeamUSA

updated 2:24 pm est 11/10/17 The idea of cultivating critical thinkers is easily a lofty ideal purported to be achieved throughout academia and espoused as the hallmark of journalistic integrity.  Achieving the critical thinking mind requires a certain bravery, wherein, once our ability to tap into our own knowledge of content matter is done, we must require it upon ourself to contrast our assessment and infer from an ā€˜outsiders’ point of view what is true and right and what is inaccurate and, even possibly, the propagandization of a special interest. . For the critical thinker, the affinity to discern is attached to our decision to look at the hard truth and favor this over our viewpoints, our political inclinations, and our stance on any given subject. This is hard to do. . In the following essay, I ask what exercise in democracy is achieved if political forces practice varying levels of indoctrination, in effect swaying public interest towards their ā€˜camp,’ rather...

Can You Say Shibboleth? - A Process of Awakening / #socialresponsibility #positivedisruption #USA

After the election of President Trump in 2017, I thought of the integrity in being a part of the solution to bring America together again. An idealistic notion it is to dream that this was possible in the current environment. It is not. With the Democrats focused on obstructionism and resistance, the active use of propaganda through means of media and entertainment, all in unison with the objective of seeking a coupe on the Presidency is evident. It is evident as well, that they cannot be brought into the fold as it is. The people, like a stormy sea, seem to be whipped up into a froth with calls to stop and impede the forward momentum of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government. As it stands, the story on Russian collusion that was created and attempted to be placed on the President has flipped and landed squarely on the leaders of the Democratic Party, singling out a former Secretary of State and First Lady, the FBI and even, charismatic former President Barac...
