Fundamentals
We began in the previous section by asking who are we, what do we believe, and how did we become that way or how do we come to believe what we believe? This section sets a foundation. Here we explore systems, society, and core beliefs to prepare for the questions we'll discuss in the subsections:
- What are the connections between a system, a society, and core beliefs?
- Where do they exist? How do they express themselves?
- What are some implications of their connections and expressions?
System, Society, & Core Beliefs
|
A system is an organization that consists of interrelated and interdependent elements (components, entities, factors, members, parts, etc.), continually influencing one another (directly or indirectly), maintaining their activity and the existence of the system, in order to achieve the goal of the system.
A society* is a group involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same principle authority and dominant cultural expectations.
(*We are aware the words society and culture, while often used interchangeably, do have distinct meanings. For simplicity, we've chosen to use them interchangeably.)
Core beliefs are principal principles, propositions, ideas, etc, accepted as true; an opinion; a conviction;
the very essence of how one sees the past, present, and future, the world, other beings, and themselves.
- organization: an arrangement into a structured whole
- interrelated and interdependent: two or more things related, connected, and dependent on each other.
- continually influencing: repeatedly and constantly having an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something
A society* is a group involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same principle authority and dominant cultural expectations.
- persistent: continuing to exist or endure over a prolonged period
- principle authority: the main influencer, the originator, or creator
- dominant cultural expectations: most powerful or most prevalent beliefs or hopes of a society
(*We are aware the words society and culture, while often used interchangeably, do have distinct meanings. For simplicity, we've chosen to use them interchangeably.)
Core beliefs are principal principles, propositions, ideas, etc, accepted as true; an opinion; a conviction;
the very essence of how one sees the past, present, and future, the world, other beings, and themselves.
- principal principle: the first or main fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning
- accepted as true: not necessarily true, but generally believed or recognized to be valid or correct.
- very essence of how one sees: the fundamental nature, the central vision, or mental image of what the future will or could be like. Which in turn influences a certain set of actions, thereby creating a certain set of outcomes.
