Economic Conversion
|
|
Why is US military spending at cold war levels despite the fact that the most pressing 21st century threats to security are not effectively addressed by military force? Economic Conversion is the process of efficiently transferring people and facilities from military- oriented to civilian-oriented activity. Given the urgent need to redirect the nation’s attention and resources to address the economic and security realities of the 21st century, Economic Conversion has never been more important.Edit

Strengthening International Law
|
|
No reliable system of global governance exists that is respected and satisfies concerns about accountability, participation, and transparency. Yet disturbingly, political leaders resort to war as the way to resolve international conflict. Preventing this in the future will require an ethos of responsibility and a willingness to rely on cooperative and nonviolent means to resolve conflict. Strengthening International Law will be critical for moving toward a less violent, more equitable, and more sustainable future for the whole of humanity.Edit

International Networks of Alternative Media
|
|
A handful of Western-based transnational corporations control most media programming. They emphasize entertainment and news acceptable to business and Western foreign policy. A global network of communications activists, advocates, and researchers is working to reform the mainstream media and to construct alternative media. Alternative media projects not only serve people; they also demonstrate what democratic media might look like.Edit

Design Stance
|
|
How can people or organizations focus notions, wishes, and urges into specific, meaningful steps? Design Stance suggests a productive mode of thinking in which issues are approached with the stance of the designer: construct, in imagination assisted by concrete representations, ways to intervene in the world for the better. Assume few limits at the start, and iteratively modify and evaluate. When the right balance of timeliness and effectiveness presents itself, follow Samuel Mockbee's advice: Proceed and be bold.Edit

Open Action and Research Network
|
|
As problems become more and more intractable, more—and more diverse— people much work together. While diversity is a necessity and can be a source of strength, it introduces problems that can worsen if we don't address them effectively. We must acknowledge the importance of Open Action and Research Networks while resolving the issues and building on the incipient wisdom.Edit

Alternative Progress Indices
|
|
Economic indexes that measure the well- being of nations, markets, corporations, individual people, and society as a whole are expressed only in monetary terms and miss several important factors; they need to factor in information on positive factors such as volunteering and housework and negative factors such as pollution and crime.Edit

Meaningful Maps
|
|
To improve the world, we must understand the situation, highlight the important factors, and help others to understand the issues. Meaningful Maps can provide a clear focus for relevant information. Groups need to use their resources carefully to achieve the maximum impact. They also want to communicate their concerns and encourage others to support their work.Edit

Citizen Access to Simulations
|
|
Simulations can help illuminate long-term consequences of major public decisions on land use, transportation, and the environment. Citizen Access to Simulations can provide powerful capabilities for informing community discussions, particularly if the results are presented using the same indicators that were used in a participatory community and civic indicators project.Edit

Culturally Situated Design Tools
|
|
Bridging the “digital divide” often means that the technology-rich side brings gadgets to the technology-poor side. This can have the unfortunate side-effect of making local knowledge and expertise invisible and devalued. Culturally Situated Design Tools can use computer simulations of cultural practices (such as cornrow hair styling, urban graffiti, beadwork, breakdance, and Latino drumming) to "translate" from local knowledge to their high-tech counterparts in math, computing, and other domains.Edit

Conversational Support Across Boundaries
|
|
We must often work together across organizational and other boundaries to solve problems. However, since other groups have different knowledge, norms, and expectations, conversations can be difficult. It is important for people on both sides to have cooperative conversations. Time, space, means, and motivation, must be provided. Payoffs must accrue to the parties for solving shared problems, not for proving that the other party is to blame.Edit
