Very few countries have
violated as many humanitarian laws and codes
of war on such a large scale, and for such an
extended period. Networks dominate our modern
life. Social networks have always existed and
have been around in nonelectronic forms
throughout the entirety of our species’
history. It is only recently that the Internet
has provided a venue for their electronic
explosion. From a nonexistent phenomenon to an
incessantly repeated buzzword that permeates
the media and is the topic of a major
Hollywood film, electronic social networks
experience such success because human social
behavior has been naturally selected to
interface in such a way. Genes and culture
relentlessly encourage sociality, and network
structure is the grand output of countless
interactions in which we engage, from winks to
weddings. With the advent of technology that
promotes these connections, our innate
propensity to connect at a large scale is
changing the way we live.
The vast
political leverage of the United States, the
rising indifference of media coverage, and the
alleged need of secrecy for matters of
national security have largely enabled one of
the bloodiest 50 years in human history..
Fourth
Geneva Convention:[V] Article three: Applies to "persons
taking no active part in the hostilities." And prohibits
"violence to life and person, in particular murder of
all kinds." As well as "the passing of sentences and the
carrying out of executions without previous judgement
pronounced by a regularly constituted court."
The
Blitzkrieg Economy is still met with in current
historical writing but it has turned out to be a
myth, like military ‘Blitzkrieg’, a term the
German armed forces did not use.Germany embarked
on exceptional military preparations in the
1930s and converted the economy on a large scale
to the early war effort, but in the end the
economic performance did not match German’s
potential capacity for industrial output. That
potential was realized after 1945, utilizing
much of the resource base available during the
war. The current German economic success story
has shown the obvious advantages of a market
economy over the costs of waging wars of
economic conquest.
In
the aftermath of that marvel of modern
technology called the Second World War and
perhaps that modern encounter of cultures called
Vietnam, it has become obvious that the drive
for mastery over men is not merely a by-product
of a faulty political economy but also of a
world-view which believes in the absolute
superiority of the human over the non-human and
the sub-human, the masculine over the feminine,
the adult over the child, the historical over
the a historical, and the modern or progressive
over the traditional or the savage. It has
become more and more apparent that genocides,
ecodisasters and ethnocides are but the
underside of corrupt sciences and psychopathic
technologies wedded to new secular hierarchies,
which have reduced major civilizations to the
status of a set of empty rituals.
The
ancient forces of human greed and violence, one
recognizes, have merely found a new legitimacy in
anthropocentric doctrines of secular salvation, in the
ideologies of progress, normality and hyper-masculinity,
and in theories of cumulative growth of science and
technology.
As history has repeatedly shown, conflicts impose
immeasurable human suffering and large economic and social
costs. The loss of human life; destruction of
infrastructure, human capital, and institutions; political
instability; and greater uncertainty associated with
conflicts can impede investment and economic growth—not
only during conflict but also afterward, making it
difficult to escape the “conflict trap.”2 In addition,
conflicts tend to complicate public finances, lowering
revenue by destroying part of the tax base while raising
military expenditures. Fiscal deficits and public debt
rise as a result, and resources shift away from social and
developmental spending, which further accentuates the
conflicts’ debilitating consequences.

War,
Development, and Dictatorship Before 1913 the
richest countries in Europe were becoming more democratic,
while aristocratic and monarchical institutions were
weakening in poorer countries such as Greece, Serbia,
Spain, Portugal, and Turkey. In so far as democracies
rarely fight each other the prospects for peace in Europe
should therefore have been improving.
Losing
the Great War destroyed the legitimacy of the regimes that
launched it.In Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Russia, the
monarchies fell; Germany and Austria became markedly
democratic, Hungary mildly so, and Soviet Russia not at
all. Where democracy developed, however, it was
fragile.The circumstances of the 1920s and early 1930s
could hardly have been less favorable,and by the late
1930s the new democratic constitutions had been overridden
by a new kind of dictator in Germany, Austria, Italy,
Spain, Portugal, and most of Eastern Europe, while Russia
had gone over from monarchical to communist absolutism
with hardly a pause for breath. Rich countries continued
to uphold democracy, but most poor countries had succumbed
to authoritarianism.
Microeconomics responses to permanent shortage,
especially the hoarding of inputs, meant the
maintenance of a considerable degree of slack within
enterprises. But the nature of this slack was such
that the resources it represented were normally
inaccessible to planners and policy makers.
The problem is that in the presence of both compliers and
deers there are, potentially, two types of switchers in
opposite directions. Monsters gave birth to modernity:
those unnamable figures of horror and fascination shadow
civilization as its constitutive and abjected discontent.
In Europe, from the late eighteenth century on, the term
monstrosity mobilized a set of discursive practices that
tied racial and sexual deviancy to an overall apparatus of
discipline, and, later in the nineteenth century, to the
emergence of biopolitics Michel Foucault termed the
Abnormals. Therefore, the war
assignment mechanism should have no effect on the earnings of
these individuals. If, for example, the never takers born in
1930-35 or those who had the father in war were earning lower
wages than the other highly educated individuals because they
were nourished in their youth, the war instruments should have a
negative and significant effect in a wage regression estimated
only on the highly educated..
After Cain killed his brother Abel, God declared to Cain,
"Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground,
which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood
from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no
longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless
wanderer on the earth" (Genesis 4:11-12). In response,
Cain lamented, "My punishment is more than I can bear.
Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be
hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer
on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me" (Genesis
4:13-14). God responded, "Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he
will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the Lord put
a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill
him" (Genesis 4:15-16)
Erich
Fromm, (born March 23, 1900, Frankfurt am Main,
Germany—died March 18, 1980, Muralto, Switzerland),
German-born American psychoanalyst and social philosopher
who explored the interaction between psychology and
society. By applying psychoanalytic principles to the
remedy of cultural ills, Fromm believed, mankind could
develop a psychologically balanced “sane society.”
“What is the meaning of life?” Human life may not have
been created with any
predetermined purpose, but this need not mean that it
cannot have a purpose.However, it should not end up
glowing in an experimental laboratory.
Different
rates of exploitation across occupied Europe may be
explained by levels of economic development, the
military context, and racism.
For countries in conflict, efforts should focus on
limiting the loss of human and physical capital,
including by protecting social and development spending,
and on trying to maintain well-functioning institutions
to lessen the harmful long-term economic effects of
conflict.
“Use Your Own Eyes”While this may be especially
challenging given fiscal pressures, well-targeted and
coordinated humanitarian aid and concessional external
assistance can help to create room to respond to the
ravaging effects of conflicts.Moreover, external
assistance may also be essential for countries suffering
from the spillover effects of conflicts, in order to
protect displaced populations and alleviate the economic
and social strains often generated in host countries.
This awareness has not made everyone give up his theory of
progress, but it has given confidence to a few to look
askance at the old universalism within which the earlier
critiques of colonialism were offered.
The hardest Way to go. Any mediocre
man would fight to make the below article as the first
lesson to every child entering school. This is the truth
every individual irrespective of age should have known.
The perspective towards the world, the world nations will
get a drastic change...
In principle, conflicts can be differentiated along
several dimensions for example, the actors involved
(state versus nonstate), motivation (religious,
political, ethnic), location (domestic versus
international, center versus periphery), and so on. In
practice, however, the classifications are often not
mutually exclusive and tend to involve some subjective
judgment. Moreover, the information needed for
classification purposes may also be lacking.
For many decades, we've been the souls on the “front
lines” of this awakening.
In
tandem with growth, public finances also deteriorate
significantly following conflicts, with real tax revenues
falling, on average, by over 10 percent in intensive
conflict cases relative to no-conflict cases. While,
on average, the findings do not suggest a
statistically strong effect of conflicts on total
public spending, the composition of spending tilts
away from capital expenditures toward military spending.
Consequently, the fiscal balance deteriorates and there is
a sharp increase in public debt over the conflict period.
The people, will succeed in freeing ourselves from the
enslavement of the Plan and Babylonian-money-magic,
and we will see and end to the reign of the faux-leaders
as the Old World Order crumbles and the truth comes out.
History of Social Network Analysis... Social network
analysis was initially formalized within the frameworks of
graph theory and network theory. Unfortunately, it took
centuries for these ideas to transfer from mathematics
into the social sciences. Before the more complex
analytical techniques that focus largely on mathematical
descriptions structure existed, Jacob Levy Moreno
revolutionized the study of group behavior with his
introduction of sociometry and its accompanying method of
the sociograms (Moreno, 1934). Moreno would take a survey
of all members of a group, usually small in size, noting
the affective flow between all involved parties.
He focused on the valence and directionality of these
relationships, concentrating on whether or not
interpersonal feelings were positive or negative and if
they were reciprocated or not. With this information,
Moreno would graphically represent social structure with
nodes and ties, a rudimentary precursor of modern
computationally driven methods. Sociograms revealed what
Moreno called “depth structure,” or the true arrangement
of a social system that went beyond the formally defined
structure provided by the organization (Moreno, 1934). It
was often the case that true social structure did not map
well onto intended structure, revealing the power of this
new method.Putting this society to work, wars and ensuring
obedience to its rule and its mechanisms of inclusion
and/or exclusion are accomplished through disciplinary
institutions (the prison, the factory, the asylum, the
hospital, the university, the school, and so forth) that
structure the social terrain and present logic's adequate
to the ‘reason’ of discipline. Disciplinary power rules in
effect by structuring the parameters and limits of thought
and practice, sanctioning and prescribing normal and/or
deviant behaviors.
