Welcome to the SSNV E-Journal Home Page Violence is the main obstacle to human development. Since there is an intrinsic link between patriarchy and violence, mitigating violence requires overcoming the patriarchal mindset in both secular and religious institutions. The mission of this electronic journal is to provide a commented digest on current research and emerging issues related to human solidarity, ecological sustainability, and both secular and religious non-violence. Each issue includes links to relevant "best of the web" content. The basic philosophy of the journal is Christian, but no source of wisdom is excluded. The U.N. "Millennium Development Goals" (MDGs) are used as a point of reference. Research Agenda The current research agenda is to examine all the significant dimensions of sustainable development in order to integrate the resulting multi-dimensional knowledge and make it available in a form suitable for use sustainable development groups. Click here for a list of the dimensions already examined and under consideration. The issues on the "sustainable development paradox" will be incremental attempts at knowledge integration. The following modes of research are being used: Review and analysis of sustainable development concepts and trends. Review and analysis of MDG projects and trends. Review and analysis of human behavior in response to grow-sustain trade offs. Use of system dynamics (causal-loop diagrams) to analyze trend determinants. Use of Girardian analysis (mimetic theory) to analyze scapegoating behavior. Use of inter-dependency matrices (NxN) to understand precedence relations. Sacred scriptures from various traditions are used as a point of reference. |Back to Top| Knowledge Taxonomy and Links Database The knowledge organization model that has been chosen for The Pelican Web and the Solidarity, Sustainability, and Non-Violence e-journal is a variation of the Knowledge Map of Chaim Zins. This is work in progress, and will continue to evolve in response to research needs. The current taxonomies and links organization are shown in the next table. The columns are defined as follows: mega-discipline, discipline, specialty, sub-specialty (or region, or acronym), MDG , and link name/content. The symbol "~" in a cell of a column indicates relevance to "all" categories in that column. The 5-dimensional taxonomy is shaping up as follows: Mega-Disciplines Divine Wisdom Empirical Knowledge Expert Knowledge General Knowledge Human Habitat Human Sciences Integrated Info Science & Tech Teamwork Info Tools Info Disciplines Mathematics Physics Chemistry Biology Biosphere Anthropology Economics Sociology Politics Theology Etc. Specialties Calculus Statics Organic Biochemistry Grasslands Gender Growth Demographics Democracy Christian Etc. Sub-Specialties Statistics Tension Reactions Biofuels Short-Grass Violence Finance Culture Elections Protestant Etc. UN MDGs MDG 1 MDG 2 MDG 3 MDG 4 MDG 5 MDG 6 MDG 7 MDG 8 To view the entire links database, click here. |Back to Top| News Sources Telecommunication technologies make it feasible for news to reach us practically in real time and from every corner of the global village. There are general news services, customizable news services, news-based alert services, and also specialized news services that filter out all news that are unrelated to a given subject matter. At certain times, it is wise to view news coming from several services in order to ensure a complete and unbiased picture of an emerging situation.

Indeed, Google (or, preferably, Advanced Google) is a good place to start when searching for information and knowledge content online. But it may not be a good place to finish if the desired information requires a complex query or is buried somewhere in the "invisible web." A huge number of specialized directories and search engines are now available to help the researcher converge on the right file.

The following letters were received recently: Dear Luis, I have a new INDIAN publication – the link is as follows: http://www.psl.org.pl/kte/Indie.pdf. I have sent an e-mail to President-elect Obama (with your name): Honorable Barack Obama President – elect of the United States of America Dear Mr. Obama, Congratulations on your election as the new President of the USA. Your main election campaign topic: CHANGE, creates a big hope for humankind survival. To overcome global crisis and achieve sustainable development of the world society we need STRONG AND ECOHUMANISTIC AMERICA. Ecohumanism is a partnership-based co-operation for the common good of all people (rich and poor, from countries highly developed and behind in development), their descendants, and natural environment - commonly supported by science and high technology. Please take into consideration the conclusions of my system analyses about the essence of global crises and the requirements for sustainable development (see references below, with links).
