Globalization

Globalization is a trend toward unification of the world economies. Two pros discussed in the chapter are Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) and merchandise trade. Two cons are cultural amalgamation and the per capita gap. Communications and transportation have facilitated the advancement of globalization.

In the last 150 years the capacity and ease of communications and transportation have, to use an idiom, made the world a smaller place. In the early 19th century a message or package from Boston to Beijing (then known as Peking) would take many, many months. Keeping in mind there were no good harbors on the West Coast, the package would go by ship around the Tierra del Fuego. And then, across the Pacific and then north along Australasia and finally through the South China Sea and Sea of Japan. Today ordinary citizens fly and send packages likewise in a matter of hours and days. Communications are now facilitated by the internet and satellite communications with a latency of about 800 miliseconds to just about anywhere in the world. (Zhang, et. al, 1997)The shattering speed of these new technologies have created a framework for improved merchandise trade and Transnational Advocacy Networks.

Anyone can join a TAN on Facebook or begin a trade relationship with someone in the Czech Republic, for instances. Last night I was looking for a platform for my mobile app and I came across a company in the Czech Republic that already makes exactly what I need. I sent them an email about a liscensing arrangement. Likewise, I joined the Facebook group for Doctors Without Borders a week ago. It was the first I had heard about the free trade agreement between the EEC and India and how it was going to impact the prices of the AIDS medicine they ship to Africa. I shared the article with my friends.

This is an effect of the per-capita disparity of EDCs and LDCs. If the large multinational pharmaceutical corporations in Europe made their medicines more affordable (to LDCs especially,) then Doctors Without Borders would not be buying black-market drugs from India. These drugs are unaffordable in Africa to families who make dollars a day.

When I was in Mexico the poolboy at the hotel offered me $50 for the shirt off my back. I paid $30 for it out-of-season and he would have paid $100 for the same brand in the store. Cultural amalgamation is Tommy Hilfiger in Mexico. It is McWorld, as the text calls it.

Today's World Governments

The two major types of government in the world today are authoritarian and democratic. Authoritarian governments typically view the population as subjects, whereas the democratic governments tend to view the population as citizens.

Communism is the most popular modern form of authoriatarian government. Modern examples are predominantly the Maoist states of East Asia: China, Myanmar and North Korea, et al. And also, the single-party states of Central Asia: Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, et. al. The monarchical form of government is still common in middle eastern countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. as well as the small independant city-states of Europe like Monaco and Leichtenstein.

All of the G-20 states are democracies, except for China and Saudi Arabia. China is evolving into a capitalist-communist composite state. (Hsu, 2007) Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. The remainder of the world's communist states nor of the Middle Eastern monarchies are not considered EDCs. The UAE could be considered an NIC.

On Apology

Notes on Plato's Apology
by Zakri Kneebone
Intro to Philosophy, Fall '10, MW 3:15pm


Socrates is speaking at his trial and facing his accusers who he claims have accused him on false pretenses. There is very little grounds to ascertain whether indeed his claim is true because nothing is directly quoted of the plaintiffs. (Linder 2002 states that there is no known record of the plaintiffs' arguments.) However he makes valid arguments to nullify the charges against him.
Socrates stands accused of heresy, that is to say, speaking against the gods of Athens. He claims that his accusers are corrupt and malicious. He says his philosophy was a duty to the gods as he was told there was no one wiser than he by the Oracle. He decided therefore he must seek out and find someone who was wiser than he and it was on this quest that he insulted people of wealth and renown and it is for this he was being persecuted.
Socrates was also accused of teaching his heretical ways to others. He answered this charge by saying that he took no money and thus he could not be considered a teacher. The people who did follow him were doing so of their own volition. They would harass those whom he chastised. In fact, though his followers forged two brutal and attritious coup d'etats that are considered anti-democratic. However, Socrates pointed to his resistance of the Thirty Tyrants at the trial as evidence in his favor. (Linder, 2002)
Here I will diagram Socrates' argument. The legend is as follows: Corruption of the accusers (1), Duty to the Oracle (2), He did not teach (3), Resistance to wrong-doing (4) and finally, Conclusion of innocence (5). Points 2, 3 and 4 converge to tout his virtue, while point 1 attacks the virtue of the plaintiffs.

Nationalism

Nationalism is a sense of belonging to a physical nation state. It is in this spirit that patriotism is born. Nationalism has had some dangerous consequences because it is commonly used as propaganda during war time. However it is also used to bring communities together to help each other like when there is a pressing natural disaster. However it is also a sense of Nationalism in exceptionalism, which can prevent people from helping people who don't conform to ones view of national identity. Nationalism seems to be an outdated concept as the nations are trending to economic codependancy though on the territory side they are trending to fragmentation. It seems inevitable for personal success in business to break through such invisible barriers as national borders in order to create a world better than the sum of its parts.

Westernization

Westernization
Zakri Kneebone Sep 18, 2010 1:56 AM

The current world system is one of Westernization. This term refers to the fact that the most powerful "first-world states" are concentrated in North America and Western Europe, politically known as the West. The general traits of these states are industrialized and democratic. The West assists other states to develop economically and has preference to help states with preference to states which have adopted western values. Some states believe this is a continuation of imperialism. (Mugabe, 2008; Morales, 2009)

Imperialism was a policy by Western countries beginning in the Renaissance and continuing through the Industrial Revolution which was a sustained effort at forceful colonization and requisition of natural and human resouces. (Rourke, p.42) This was followed by the gradual formation of human rights pioneered by Britain and the US through the 19th and 20th centuries. It was this budding ideal of equality and balance of power which met head on with imperialism in the two world wars.

In the interest of equality and the prevention of future world wars that the League of Nations and later the UN were created. However the competition between capitalism and democracy with socialism, communism and fascism which became the Cold War. This ultimately lead to invasion of Eastern Asia by the US and Western Europe in the second half of the 20th century which the book calls containment doctrine. (Rourke, p. 46)

The last 20 years has been marked by US-led NATO invasions into the Middle East to prevent atrocities such as to guard Isreal from Islamic jihadism and to prevent nuclear proliferation. (Rourke, pg. 49)

My Role In World Politics Comes From My Origin

I feel my role in world politics is one of tolerence, peaceful resistance, compassion and financial support through charity. I grew up in Madison and I was born a Nichiren Shoshu buddhist. When I was young my mother encouraged me to explore exogenous cultures and I myself grew up in a bi-racial family.
Madison is the quintessential American melting pot. (Antonio Puglieli, 2009) People from every part of the globe wind up there and stay because of the tolerance of the ruling political body there. While I was a youth, the neighboorhood I lived in changed from being a white neighboorhood with blacks to a mostly black neighboorhood.
When I was growing up, most of my friends were of a different race and religeon. From this background I feel I have a responsibility to promote religeous and racial tolerance. What then is my vehicle? Common sense dictates I should use my strengths to obtain my ends. I am in the MCS (Management Computer Systems) program because I have always had a fascination with computers and thus, in and of itself a comprehension of computer programming has been the result of my childhood obsession.
Like many programmers I have become involved the open source community. By becoming involved in the open source community I have met many international programmers. And the goal of the open source initiative is to make free software by and for the world. (Open Source Initiative, 2010) My vehicle therefore is to write free, open source software to unite with international programmers and then use the donations to my projects to raise money for conforming Non-governmental charitable organizations.

My Stew

In concert. In swell.
The caring chill it's confusing but
When one holds someone dear
They tend toward dependance
Toward they tend to taking advantage
To taking for granted ward they tend
Ward the bell, the ringer, the shonen
The signal blasts out for
The kotsu, the nijishin
When the bell-warden sleeps
The city, does it disintegrate?
Order requires one soldier
Above all combustible
When powerful change must ensue
Then perhaps it's time to rusticate
To dwell in the the mind in a torchlit cave
On a dew-dripping fortitudinal mount
Half-down where the nightingales's melody
Compliments the spatter of condensation off the stalactites
And albino arthropodae actuate averse of the alien ambient heat.

Give him lots of kisses for me she said
Like kisses for chocolate
Like chocolate kisses
Like chocolate exchanged in a kiss
The dripping of stalactites
The chirp of a defensive starling or piper
The majestic fuzzy pile of the blanket I sit upon
Near the spine of the island

Now it's time for lunch
In the sunlight the noontime sun
Has excited vapor effervescing warmth
Like a vast transgalactic empire
Colonizing the Magellenic Clouds
Like dark matter in the Horsehead Nebula
A steamy cascade ineffably lifts off the treeline

Chamomile sprigs and crabapple twigs
Bear flowers and wild onion roots
And lichen makes a stew,
Sparse but bitterly medicinal.

The city glows brighter
My beard has grown gray
But the bitterness of my stew
Is yet stark and fresh.

Since then
But with the fire wrought
I stay warm
In an impression
I lay calmly and watch as the smoke clears.

Live For Life

Live For Life

So old days come to haunt
Like ghosts when books of evil are opened
To chew the flesh and rob the mind
But spill out the sore and be healed
If leeches don't work then aspirin, chop-chop!

Off and over the sky runs the beatiful Sun
to burn the untrue to blisters and bring to good
Power, raw energy
Flowing like current capacitance
Amplified! Billowing! Burning the hate
And spilling out for all who seek truth
To grab hold and furnish themselves
For deliberation is true freedom
Which rings out, "Damn me for truth, darest I thee!
Bring me my cup and let me drink of it
Be it water or wine or poison
But never empty."
That never one darest to bringeth it so!;

And forward to Live
And forward in Life
To breathe to breathe
And drink to drink
And eat to eat
And Live for Life!

Get A New Way

Get A New Way

So many times I saw this girl
She waivered in her good and bad to seek one
To tame the ancient world
That boils inside her
Like old magick secret social aspirations
Gravedust and spell of seeking wisdom
Too ancient and wearing forbidden signets!
Of course to do the same we know to change
The WORDS to mean TODAY'S meaning
Which was lost in the burning of Cities
Growing sprigs of holly in the broken rocks
For love we must show how to translate
The silly golden rules and add them in proportion!
To prove this is tough but shall be done

Tuath Sheradh

Tuath Sheradh

The tuath is an old way of teaching the youth to spell
The tuath is an old way of seeing the grave
The tuath is an old way of telling a story
The tuath is an old way of making weapons and warriors
The tuath is a clan that seeks the infinite knowledge
The tuath is forever building
a secret cove
in the hill
where faeries of Dana
can hide from their jailors
The tuath is seeking more that a crop
a bear an eagle a derelict fox
a fish with a belly full of eggs
a porpoise which plays around rosemary hedge
a magical spear made of a whale bone
The tuath can speak through its holes in the ground
where timber of extinct pine trees exude
where shards of painted red clay are
with black beads strewn

Silhouette

Silouhette

She sang a song that stirred hearts and sent blessings
When she moves its like a swan on the lake
She she she is so beautiful in the closed eyes of a craned listener
Out of the darkness of my closed eyes
Come blue royal tones of color, soft shape of her curly voice
Smooth and choclate and my eyes open
And she stands there with her black dress shimmering
Like a million diamonds beckoning me to steal them
The brown even skin begs to be stroked like silk She cannot be had, but to see her and hear her voice
Is to love and to be loved

Epiphony

Epiphony

The old days are coming
Old days
When old songs were sung
Old old old song
My song sung days ago
Solo performance
Out of the air
Sure to fascinate the ladies
Sung with brilliance
And wrapped in care
That all could ever hear
That all could sing it
Once it was sung
And ne'ermore need I
To sing it again
For over every dale
Could be heard hands
Singing my song
Til the cows come home
And the pigeons to roost
And the mockingbirds
Crew all the while long

An Ostara Poem

The Price is Right:An Ostara Poem


Old ways are coming back!
Can you feel the arrows pointing here at the Sun?
Sometimes my smile points up there but to the moon too.
Our favorite kisses draw a line to happy places.
Play a game called "Somewhere in Time."
Where time stops and moments are counted out.
Like tokens to a slot machine.
And wishes are granted for the correct spin.
Blazing orange lights up the wheels.
And thoughts are given high priority.
Carelessness shall pass like some old aging ogre.
Prophecies shall light upon your tressled cheek.
Like kisses-me-here little whispers.
Voices in the wind in the trees
As the little squirrel scrambles and chatters away.
Making us unified
Gathered to meet
As cold wind utters his last breath.

Crimson and Clover

"Crimson and Clover
Over and over."
Solo one alone
Argentine solitary bar
Provost solemn dignified
Gathered flowers for his family altar
Sequins red, on red linin coat
Chipper and yet slow
Graceful as the infinitesimal
Benign as the puffer fish
Glides.
Sickle spritzes his face with heavy dew.
Descends the mountain while rises the sun.
To extend his sacrament
The ancients' pride
A bestowal of favor
The high masters of old

The Price is Right:
Commemoration of the beginning.
The Ulster king, Conchobar.
The druid, Cathabad.
The warrior, Cuchulain.
Over the windows I peek at the swirl.
Roaring back upon itself.
So high and utter. Shear.
Whisked away and transported to strawberries lush and ripe.
Fragrant and earth moist and dewed.
The sun begun to bake.
And a hill rolls away to the sea.
I face south toward the winding meadow.
Ribbons of yellowy verdure.
A fence hewn rough, a gable ornamental.
A wicker screen for growing pole beans.
Don't tell them the rest, she cautions.
But do you know this place?

Free form poetry

The Price is Right:
Free form poetry:
sosososoo
oidcilei
illeemsa
poienicms
once there was a charity
a girl missing a soul
when the world saw her she shrank
all the old wizards propped her and hoped she would overcome the boundaries she imagined herself in
One day in the darkness of her own dispair
she came upon a firefly zipping about her hair
the kharmic repercussions of drowning in depression
had not prepared her for this little friend
When she looked closer she saw it was a little person
Glowing within eerily like photoplankton consumed had it.
it looked like a little her
it smiled wryly and she smiled back
and without warning it flew up her nose and disappeared
she felt the glow inside her
it began to dissolve the darkness and grew and grew and grew.
until she burst forth with light
her depression and fear suddenly gone in this one moment
she had found her inner light
quite by accident

Sigfried

Sigfried: Hello, Zakri. My name is Sigfried. I was the first slayer of the dragon Fafnir. I was born in Norway by a fjord called Jantermasht. My favorite place to visit was the Northwest Sea. I crossed the ocean to visit a queen in Iceland. I wish to speak to you about Ragnarok.
Zak: Hello, I am familiar with your life story, but it has been a long time since I have read it. I have a sword know as the Dragonslayer which was given to me by Fafnir. Do you feel it is appropriate and how do you rate the sword?
Sig: It has awesome power and I, Sigfried, would even hesitate upon its sight if you were my foe in battle.
Zak: Do you think a Valkyrie would beat me if I wielded it and she were using a good sword?
Sig: I think a Valkyrie would hesitate but fight grimly against you and perhaps with good footwork she might disarm you and kill you.
Zak: What about Ragnarok concerns me and does it concern you and I together?
Sig: I do not know if we shall fight together side-by-side in that battle. But you are a godd man and I believe we will fight on the same side and it would be sideous to fight beside you with your excellent reaver.
Zak: Thank you, sir. And for me it will be and honor if we fight together as suggested. Do you have any poetry to share? It is only a ritual when I meet an entity as we have now.
Sig: Ye I have something to write for you to share and I will be proud to have a brilliant psychic as you write it for me.
"He walked alone and fought dragons
And they would pay him tribute to remain living
They would treaty with him and cause less trouble
He is strong but not invincible

He will be wak for a lady who loves him
Yes, and having found her will make her love
And thier loves will be like a fortress
Walling them to protect form dragons her tenderness"
Forgive me for speaking in an odd tense, for my view is extemporal and I see things differently. Yes, I Sigfried was writing of you, K. You shall prosper as you grow to love this man you are with. He will never stop loving you and will do so much hardship and burden that your appreciation is needed.
He is lucky to be right that you will not leave him without cause. But be careful to measure cause against others who have benefitted you. For though Mervyncoll is not perfect he is unfailing in his love and faithfulness. Let him portion his money and know that his plans are to keep you happy for years when you want something for to-day. God bless you, Karen, and godspeed.
And be at peace, Zakri. And be vigilant and diligent and know your enemies will expose weakness. You shall prvail as you persevere patiently.
Zak: Goodbye elder warrior friend.
Sig: Fare thee well to you all. Goodnight.

Ode to Seiji Musashi

The Price is Right:
Evokation of Musashi
The soul stealer.
Rugged. Ripped. Recumbant.
The immaculate blade.
Pearl set hilt.
The devisor, demonizer, haunt:
Punisher of ill-fated twits.
The fire and ice,
The red leaf.
Hiding among the shadows
In nook behind door.
When the door shuts,
The slaughter becomes art.
Not to wound.
Not to show-off.
But to kill quickly.
To repose into the subtle art of mind
Poetry, painting, dancing are all the deign.
Design to enrich.
To sculpt,
To cut away rubble;
Leaving the finely polished stone
To sing forever its lilt.
Thee Master, O Master!
Guide my hands in affinity
So my work is known as the finest.

Description: The Tarrien Bog is a like a hot, steamy bowl of onion soup. It consists of a large swollen basin carved from the mountains by a stray comet in the first age. Since that forgotten time the lizardmen have made this their home. Putrid and stagnant water dominates the landscape, though here are a few soggy sand hills that peek out.

Here and there a large bed of stringy pinong reeds float lazily on the surface where a landbound man might dare to lightly tred. Trees have adapted long roots, forming a dizzying, tortured maze of mangroves. Large man-eating fish lay in wait beneath the muddy pools. The essense of raw, natural danger will raise the heckles of the bravest orc.

Geography:

1) Lake Hableth and the Lower Bogs. The largest single feature 0f the Tarrien Bogs is Lake Hableth in the northwestern corner which forms the border with Tachan and partial borders with Jarrien and Proffyt. It is a crater lake left by a meteorite impact thousands of years before the age of man. The rift opened by the impact makes it incredibly deep for its size. Its deepest point is just miles outside of the crater rim at 2,487 feet. The lake has an average depth of 480 feet. The lake and its contents are the cultural focal point of the Tarrien Bogs. The greatest portion of commercial traffic in and out of the Bogs transits the lake between Hutsi City and Laqueshire, Proffyt.

-1a) Hableth Crater. The soutwestern corner of the lake is occupied by the crater and the encompassing deep. It forms a ring of small islands that are no more than a hundred feet at the highest point. If one dives deep enough the bare meteorite protrudes some distance above the silt which is cleaned away by the clerics of Tuatha Ishik. The igneous extrusions left by the impact form a circular archipelago to which the enormous rafts of Hutsi City are anchored.

-1b) Hutsi City is the only population center in all of the Tarrien Bogs and it exists primarily for the purposes of ritual and trade. Every ten years the Olympiad fills the city for festivities and sporting of the highest levels. The Five Tribes sends its finest athletes to compete in a series of extreme physical challenges culminating in the "Upaniss" or Decathalon. The city becomes the domain of the winner's tribe and thus virtually all trading.

-1c) Hutsi Rivershed is the domain of the winning caste in addition to the tribal lands. It consists of a short river on the mainland and Hableth Crater.

-1d) Grey Yeppin Rivershed is the northernmost of the tribal lands on the lower (northern) portion of the river. Its area stretches from Lake Gissol to Lake Hableth and is centered on the main outlet of Lake Gissol. It is home to the Ishik tribe with the moon-camp at Hishik.

-1e) Green Yeppin Rivershed is just south of the Grey on the southwestern branches of the Yeppin. It is the domain of the Leshik tribe who train the National Guard. The western frontier borders the Shattered Lands and the Guard is frequently assailing incursive bands of goblins and orcs along the border. The area is also home to a relatively large population of swamp trolls which keep the guards busy near campsites. The trolls are territorial and will also attack the incursive goblin forces which makes them barely tolerable.

2) Lake Gissol and the Upper Bogs. The Upper Bogs are home to the lesser tribes. It is considerably more remote because it is surrounded by escarpments. The streams briefly became raging whitewaters and falls as they plummet hundreds of yards into the green abyss 0f the Tarrien Basin. The main rivers here originate in Aytheon where farmers tell their cattle, "make sure you hit a lizard." The Elgaard River crosses the border to become the Arliss and likewise the Hartmouth, the Kalsha.

-2a) Arliss Rivershed: Shinites

-2b) Kalsha Rivershed: Tribe of Wizards and Wanderers

History or Timeline:

( ca. 3500 BC ) - The Great Comet collides with Belandir in the southeastern foothills of the Belniran Mountains. The impact and path of entry leaves a blast zone nearly a thousand miles long and hundreds of miles wide. Over centuries, the remaining basin fills with sediment, creating the current topology of the Tarrien Bog. The event is considered the birth of the race of Lizardmen.

143, 5E3A (1858 BC) - Lizardmen of the Tarien Bog sign a non-aggression pact with the The Five Clans. In reality, this pact is fairly meaningless, as the Dwarves have little or no interest in the swamps, and the Lizardmen have no interest in the cold climes of the Belnirân Mountains.

153, 5E3A (1848 BC) - First Triad War. Lizardmen set traps for Triad battallions staging raids against Belniran from inside Bog territory as well as enslaving the locals. The Triad retaliates, sending a full invasion against them. Many civilians are captured and enslaved.

250, 5E4A (1751 BC) - Dwarves from Belniran sue the Lizardmen for a trade agreement. The dwarves withdraw early when they contract a deadly flu that devastates their homeland.

587, 5E3A (1414 BC) - Raids launched by the Lizardmen of the Tarien Bog are met with stiff resistance by the Five Clans. The raids come as a surprise, and are believed to be in response to raids carried out against the Lizardmen by the Triad, who left evidence behind to point them at the Dwarves.

589, 5E3A (1412 BC) - Lizardman legend Urush leads a victorious retaliatory raid against the Triad securing all lands South of the Arliss River.

1313, 3E4A (5312 AC) The Graentig establishes the Five Tribes Confederation and the current caste structure.

Government: The Lizardmen of the Tarrien Bogs' first concept of international borders or politics was the signing of the Belniran-Tarrien Non-Aggression Pact in 143, 5A4E. The current form of the Five Tribes Confederation was ratified by the Graentig in 1313, 3E4A. The five tribes in order of highest rank are Ishik, Leshik, Renik, Shin and Thepsin.

Every ten years the Olympiad is held and the winning tribe becomes the ruling caste with its tribal lands becoming the seat of power. The current ruling caste is the Ishik Tribe and its tribal elder High King Yosh Ishishik is the official head of state. His duties are High Justice and Minister of State. (By coincidence he also happens to be the Graentig, leader of the Order of Light.) Twice per year all the tribes send their Kings to Hishik to meet the High King and discuss crop reports, trade and issues of high court.

Legal System: The lizardman life revolves around the Games, breeding and trade issues. The legal system is primarily concerned with the suitability of marriage and the training and participation of the games. A pact of marriage is usually temporary: to be exercised for a period of months or years. However marriages must be applied for and approved by a judicial council because of a strong emphasis on perfect progenesis. Geneology and individual attributes are graded and matched by the local judiciary commitee. Sometimes pairs are assigned as mates for a time to take advantage of high pedigree. Geneological records are required to be maintained by each of the tribes. Every tuath keeps the tribal council aware of new births and deaths.

Military: Each tribe is expected to maintain the foreign borders within its territory except during major incursions or invasion. The Leshik tribe maintains an army which is quick to assist with such major threats. It is their dharma as the second highest caste to train and maintain a national guard. The current army guard consists of 4,200 individuals of both sexes divided into eight army battalions and two specialist companies. There are no barracks, so they train on the move.

Economy: Primarily a barter economy nationally. On the international scale, goods are traded almost exclusively to the Esteemed Guild of Bankers Moneylenders and Exchangers (EGBME) of Proffyt for foreign goods and naval protection. There is a central market in Hutsi City where enormous values of goods are traded with the EGBME and wholesale and retail barter dominates.

Social: The most important issue for the Lizardfolk of the Tarrien Bog is breeding. Daily life is all about raising the young to produce better offspring, selection of mates and physical training.

Important People of Note or Heroes: Details description of people that we should know about. Cities of note: Hh'tsi.
Towns of note: none.
Villages of note: The five tribal moon-camps of Shini, Hishik, Renish, Lesho, Thepsa.
