Social Paranormal Change in Globalization by Theresa J Thurmond Morris
Post-war industrialized nation-states with their political power, educational power, and job-creating power, are what we can loosely define as post modern globalization for our future in the 21st century and beyond on earth.
Secondly, patterns of our lifestyles regarding work, occupations, education, domestic and leisure lifestyles have all been transformed with the new electronic communication devices now available to us such as the computer, Internet, and Global Positioning Systems used on our portable cell phones.
This is truly the information and communication age of enlightenment that will transform our world into the globalization for the entire civilization on earth.
We are becoming one sentient intelligent being species.
Social Networking our Sources of Culture
Culture is being redefined at this very moment in time to include the basics that have been allowed universally in the main categories:
Art, culture, education, science, and technology.
This is not all there are just the five (5) main working groups for the social networks to define their expertise to be grouped in sub-headings.
CULTURE
Culture may be defined as the customs, ideas, values, and ways of doing things in a particular group, community, state, region, country, or society in general in the broadest sense of the term for the word culture as a state of civilization.
Culture includes art, and objects that are material things that each society has in common.
The narrower definition might include the mind and the cultivation of data collection, information communication and awareness skills as a learning society.
The Underclass
The underclass is an age old problem considered in most all nation states. These beings are outside ordinary society in all areas of the world. These are the people who are becoming superfluous with no education, employment skills, wealth or family property, and can be utilized where production can be done in the cheapest place our country. This is what some corporations have been taking advantage of in this world.
We the Global Citizens of Planet Earth need to take responsibility for all sentient intelligent beings including those who are considered outside the social norm!
The Poverty Class
The ways that we share life in particular groups such as the below poverty out of jobs and the poor may be one class. This is not the underclass but, the working class as in farm workers and factory workers may be another class.
To some this may include the military and the commercial truck drivers in the blue-collar workers jobs. Some may be surprised that we allow those who protect us and bring our food and home products to our markets in the poverty level income brackets. Not all are. Some make above in the middle class level as wage earners.
The Midde Class
The middle class was once thought of those who wore white shirts or were called the white-collar workers who served in the office jobs as clerks, bank tellers, secretaries, office managers, and other administrative positions up to the top management.
“Free Marketers” are the ones considered the “New Right Independents”. They believe that capitalism should not be hampered by the state. Meaning they are for each person being allowed to earn their own wages as individuals in the global market place.
Sociology and Criminology is a major part of the social middle class. Debates about issues that cause crime. The “Old Print Media” use to be able to control social issues and ideas about crime. This was the past and now we can all care and be aware of our community issues and address our own findings of facts in our Paranormal Social Networks.
Policies on policing our social community crisis has become a way for us to share our views on the Internet and many middle class do use the Internet and this class if growing.
However, the larger corporations that require a minimum of three (3) officers and registering with the state in the U.S. are becoming the Global Norm in most all countries due to the International Import and Export Controls around the world. The power that the independent individuals give to those whom they vote into office is now at stake. Democrats may argue that capitalism produces disharmony and ultimately lead to war. That was the “Old School” way in the western hemisphere.
The Upper Class
Upper Income was reserved for the upper management positions who have various workers to supervise usually over 30 and depending on how the governments structured the tax brackets based on taxable wages as income that was gross and not net profit brought home to the family for gross wage earners. We may consider the upper class the elite and privileged based on the families they were born into or the amount of income they earn.
Many of the rich and famous are considered to be included in the elite upper class. We have created a world of famous people who are acclaimed celebrities in sports, and entertainment. In some cased in business we honor our Fortune 500 wage earners and Entrepreneurs. In academia we honor those who are Nobel Prize winners. In some cases we even honor our world leaders such as the President of the United States of America.
The General Population Wage Earners
The ways of the shared working classes are considered what they do as occupation and hobbies according to what can be considered in culture what can be considered income-producing efforts on the wager earners part in most countries.
We share much of who we are and what we do on the Internet. Most of us will share our name, age, and occupation or student level of cultural growth. We will also share our hobbies and interests on the internet now on places such as Facebook.
These practices are now in some cases proprietary and in others as long as we are willing to divulge the information are becoming known and kept as information and data collections kept in repositories on electronic servers around the world.
Various corporations and other businesses in all countries are willing to pay for this information. Marketers and salespersons desire the information to target their audience by demographics such as age, profession, and level of income.
This is all how the social networking has become so popular and the way that the Internet and World Wide Web has become so popular among those in business who desire to advertise.
We have adopted the old media payment for sharing information with the advertisers paying the space to share information and serving as community service information to the public.
The Internet has now found a various ways for us to learn how to adapt and share our sources in the new social networking culture that we can now add to the globalization of marketing on the electronic computers and in the air space with our cell phones and global positioning systems. GPS is now becoming a household word used not only on our computers and cell phones but also in our automobiles and other forms of transportation.
Culture is considered an entire way of life of a society which is ever changing from day to day depending on the individuals who are desiring to earn a living and are in need of the basics such as food, clothing, shelter, and now entertainment, and communication with others. We add in transportation, and the fact that we desire to use our televisions, movies, cell phones, and other electronic surveillance and communication for accessing or retrieving information, this also becomes a part of all cultures around the world.
We have added gaming and entertainment on the Internet Highway and how we all can learn to translate each other’s languages. This is also now a part of our globalization and international cultures. We are becoming one world culture as a whole. Whole Life Experiencers will include knowledge of those who visit earth from time to time. We may begin to accept the world of a word coined by Alfred Weber what is now termed Exopolitics.
Some of the Eastern Cultures are trying to project that Western Cultures have turned out to be evil or at the least scientific barbarism and marketing capitalism to all countries.
Cultural traditions and languages is definitely a part of the future and we may want to define one language in the future for all no the Internet. Until then, we will learn to use the translate point and click button or word on our websites. Many of us use Google as a household word for surfing the web for information.
One them that has needed clarification in the past on earth are the class system and stratification that is in all our popular or mass cultural existences around the planet.
It is well noted on earth that people who live alike learn to adapt to common outlooks, similar interests with lifestyle associations.
We will learn that people do seem to fit the old saying of, “Birds of a feather flock together!” This is what has lead sociologists to believe that communities and groups are more important to society than individuals are. Thus, the court system and our justice systems are known for seemingly allowing those of the upper class with money to buy their way out of trouble to do so.
Those who are considered lower class and poor tend to be those who learn about the adjudication and prison systems. Class and an individual’s occupation in the market place in globalization will reflect on that person’s ability to purchase items in the gold system and credit system used today.
Many people are saying that we may soon have a classless society that will have equal life opportunities but this may seem rather Utopian in our belief systems.
Is class defined on earth by wealth, education hereditary, or all three now on earth and on the Internet? Is this what all countries are deciding to reform and restructure in the empirical system as a social science?
Sir Williman Beveridge (1879-1963) was the creator of the welfare state after the Second World War He was the director of the London School of Economics and the aim was to provide those who through no fault of their own were unemployed, ill, old or poor in education and heredity. This was a social democratic idea but there were some Conservatives that opposed this welfare state and do to some extent now to this day in times of hardship in both the U.K. and the U.S.
This welfare state was key to the essential concept that was based on “Citizenship” just like our modern idea of who has common rights and freedoms provided to them by the state.
These rights come up due to the economic powers that are in charge of the state, which is the reality of ownership of the jobs, education, and political power given by the people and for the people in each nation state.
SOURCES RAISING THE BAR ON EARTH!
We are learning to become more aware of each other and our writing skills.
We are becoming communication worthy expressive due to the social networking that is now offered on the Internet and World Wide Web.
We are now being told we can drop the www that we use to express websites when doing an inquiry on our search engines.
So much is changing in the way we communicate.
Twitter and Facebook have surpassed the old question raised among students such as, “Are you on My Space?”
Some of the sources we use are beginning to make us feel like the Sorcerer’s Apprentice that happens to be premiering today.
My favorite actor Nicholas Cage just happens to be the Sorcerer for the Disney Movie!
Sources are used on the internet in various ways.
PRIMARY SOURCES are the ones we create such as our own interviews, research, observation, laboratory experiments or participating in other justifiable methods we may think of. We may even use surveys and questionnaires in public places such as Malls that cater to retail shoppers and have food courts.
SECONDARY SOURCES are those that already exists such as autobiographies, newspaper reports, photographs, art, images, government statistics, books, magazines, things that are already published and some even regard the Internet Websites as sources these days.
Phenomenologists tend to think that people construct their own meanings of reality.
Sociologists tend to think about mixing approaches and methodologies since various methods may produce different types of results.
We are now looking into the information that in the past was ignored and not accepted into the common folks cultural societies. We are beginning to accept the paranormal and supernatural as the information that was formerly overlooked by those in the upper and middle classes and were thought only to be superstitions of the common folk. We are now awakening to the fact that there are now more common folk than those of the elite and privileged class based on old money and heredity.
This will be agreeable to the ET UFO COMMUNITY who has joined with those for the pursuit of the common interests in PARANORMAL/SUPERNATURAL COMMUNITY.
The History Channel and Documentary Channel are realizing the potential for sharing in information that was once thought unobtainable or not agreeable to the social normal society.
We are now realizing that journalism will take on more topics of conversation than those that were accepted in the basic sciences and art and entertainment.
The world is changing and so are we.
We may even learn to accept that “Alien Civilizations Exist!”
It may be found out that our ancient ancestors were aware of the Sky People and the Angels that came from Heaven and they were right!
We are adding more information on the Internet as an Open Source with Fair Use for All!
We Give credit to the Following and provide below information for acknowledgement for sourcing on the the Internet. Credit is always given when we share information in the Global Community on the Internet!
I personally liked the information provided on the Internet for all and am including the website for others to visit and peruse at their own convenience as I did! See the Diagram below under Exopolitics. I could not do a better job myself so offer this. Why reinvent the wheel!
WVUR-FM, “The Source”, Valparaiso University’s student-run radio station
The Source (Charmed), the common abbreviated title used as an everyday conversational ‘use name’ of a fictional evil being —more properly: “The Source of All Evil”— in the popular television series Charmed
The Source, a character in the short-lived 1978 US television sitcom Quark
GAMES
Counter-Strike: Source, a complete remake of Counter-Strike using:
Source (ETP / ETF provider), provider of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) in Europe, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through an open architecture platform
So what is exopolitics? A number of key actors compared notes and came to a consensus on the following definition:
Exopolitics is an interdisciplinary scientific field, with its roots in the political sciences , that focuses on research, education and public policy with regard to the actors, institutions and processes, associated with extraterrestrial life, as well as the wide range of implications this entails through public advocacy and newly emerging paradigms.
This definition integrates 3 different meanings the word exopolitics is used in:
Michael Salla
Alfred Webre
Some older definitions:
Wikipedia (until April 2008): Exopolitics, a speculative branch of political science, is the study of possible contact and relations between humanity and extraterrestrial civilizations. (*) Since January 2009, it defines Exopolitics as “the hypothetical study of political relations between humans and extraterrestrial civilizations.”
Michael Salla, founder of the Exopolitics Institute, gives two, complimentary, definitions:
Exopolitics is the study of the key individuals, institutions and political processes associated with extraterrestrial life.
Exopolitics is the study of the political implications of the extraterrestrial presence on Earth.
Alfred Webre ‘invented’ the word exopolitics and describes it as “the study of political process and governance in interstellar society.”
(*) Incomprehensibly, between April 2008 and January 2009 the wikipedia censored articles on exopolitics. The topic itself had even been removed. As of 10 January 2009 the topic is available again. More definitions of ‘Exopolitics’ can be found at www.exopaedia.org/?Exopolitics.
Fields of research
Starting from the definition, we can already define the following fields of research: Exopolitics studies
the key actors / individuals,
institutions and
political processes
that are associated with the extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.
In other words, we want to know who is doing what and how with regard to the extraterrestrial presence here on Earth. There are two facets to this: on the one hand there are the human individuals, institutions and political processes, and on the other hand there are the extraterrestrial individuals, institutions and political processes. Who are the extraterrestrials that are present, or have been present here on Earth, and what are they up to? And who, on the human side, is involved in all of this, and what are they doing?
To find this out, there are certain areas of interest that, at present, reveal the most information. Exopolitics, e.g., investigates phenomena like close encounters with extraterrestrials (contactees), and alien abductions. It tries to identify the various players or groups that appear to be active, and describe their activities, and possibly their intentions. It also looks at the reactions of the “powers that be” to this extraterrestrial presence, and at the policies they came up with to deal with it.
Another important area of interest is that of possible official interactions with extraterrestrials. There are, e.g. indications that the USG already in 1954 may have had official contact with extraterrestrials. Exopolitics therefore also deals with galactic diplomacy, and with the study of agreements or treaties that may already have been established, or that will be established.
Another phenomenon that is closely related to this, is that of the official and unofficial policies of governments all over the world with regard to the extraterrestrial presence. There seems to be an officially instituted cover-up in place with regard to the extraterrestrial presence. Exopolitics studies these policies of cover-up, as well as the policies of disclosure.
Methodology
Being a political science, exopolitics uses the standard methodologies of the political sciences. For these, aqualitative approach is needed, rather than a quantitative or quantifiable one. Exopolitics identifies key players (individuals, institutions and other groups), processes, dynamics, and policies. It analyzes behaviour and motivations of people, institutions and groups. It also focuses on the purposes and the effectiveness of certain policies, etc., and tries to discover (predictable) patterns.
One of the common tools at our disposal is the usage of typologies. When analyzing the existing literature about extraterrestrials here on Earth, e.g., Michael Salla noticed that the extraterrestrials were described in one of four categories or types. These are:
Helpers,
Intruders,
Manipulators, and
Watchers.
