1. With the advent of powerful LR strategic weaponry ,
global warfare has effectively created a massive
deterrant to war by its mere existence. Wars of the
future will be between the poorer countries on a local
level.
2. With the advent of computers, The individual is
empowered to do more and more, thus giving rise to
individualism and socio-political schemes based on
such themes.
3. The advent of telecommunications is an obvious one.
Pick up a phone I can talk to someone halfway around
the world in seconds. That's massive.
4. A shared sense of Biome. As we travel more and more
and as the global economy serves to "shrink" the world
we will eventually gain a greater sense of sharing a single
ecology. Where your pollution affects my standard of living
and sense of eco-integrity.
6. The renting of capital. Since money will be more available
because we will be sharing more and more of it, availability
leads to use, thus it will be easier to get a loan - thus
this puts pressure on lowering interest rates which cycles
back and more people take out money because it's cheap to take out
a loan thus stimulating the economy more.
7. Global competition. Companies are waking up to the fact
now that we are on a global playing field, no longer is the US
the prettiest girl at the prom, we have to look outward.
Inflation is fundamentally caused by the government.
Very simply, government and the private sector compete for the
same resources. If the government is "short" of money to acquire
the resources it needs, it acquires the money via taxes or
other revenus generating means. This however collapses public
confidence in the government, once this happens, and they see
inflation go up, they convert liquid assets into hard tangibles.
in doing this, they cause a demand load strain on the these products.
This shifts the economy from production to distribution and
puts us in a reactionary mode.
Thus in an environment of global competition there is pressure
to lower inflation rates and taxes.
8. Downscaling - the advancing of technology to allow for more and
more effective utilization of the resources that are used in
affectuating that technology. For example 70 lb of fiber optic
cable is equivalent to 1 ton of copper.
This frees up our resources which in turn makes these
resources a little cheaper, which in turn stimulates trading
which in turn feeds a global economy.
9. Cultural Transcendance - Global communities are losing their
identities as economies become more important than ideologies.
And cultures integrate and synergize. An increase in travel,
cross cultural , cross lingual , and financial interplay
One can also cite other examples of cultural maturation
and global harmony as different cultures mingle and mix
the push towards egalitarianism, business cultural diversity
issues, and the scrutinization of fair business practices,
fairness and equality of moral and ethical issues ....
