HOW CAN WE HELP THE WORLD IN MOVING TOWARD A JUST SOCIETY?

HOW CAN WE HELP THE WORLD IN MOVING TOWARD A JUST SOCIETY?

I truly believe we are at a point in history where behavioral change on a national and global scale is possible. Instead of just looking at  people as individuals, let's shift our focus for a moment to the broader world and take a structural point of view.  Please stay with me while I explain what I mean.

If enough people in a social context have bought into an ideology, it develops into a collective mindset that shapes people's behavior, which in turn creates a culture and the accepted way of life. The prevailing culture in a region is a reflection of the commonly held set of ideas.

Unknowingly, the  majority of us may have bought into a vision of society that is unjust by accepting misleading ideologies that were disseminated in  society to influence public perception.

The way to deal with a flawed ideological structure rooted in deception, (or what I call a corporate stronghold) is to shift the mindsets of the people collectively by widely disseminating a counter-ideology. This is what I mean by attacking social injustice at a systemic level. 

As Michael Pollan argued, "a reigning ideology is a little like the weather:all pervasive and virtually inescapable."   

 

Acts.19.20 So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.
