				THEME IV


	SYSTEMS ARE CONDUCIVE TO THE UNFOLDMENT OF DIVINITY OF HUMAN BEINGS

Besides the pursuits of individual and family happiness, each
civilization has attempted to establish social, political and economic
orders for betterment of human life. Many theories have been advanced
and many models have been established by their proponents to
demonstrate the superiority of their systems over others.  

Thus, various forms of governments, ranging from a tribal chief and
monarchies based on the Doctrine of Divine Right to the modern western
democracies, have tried to build human societies with a sense of
social justice, freedom and political rights.  

The early history of mankind shows the pursuit of expansionism and
empire building for ownership of land and its natural resources,
people and their labor, and for the religious or ideological
conversions of the vanquished people by the aggressors.  

The scientific developments brought about the industrial revolution
that replaced production by masses with mass mechanized
production. This provided great impetus to expand empires for natural
resources and markets for finished goods. 

With the advent of modern technologies, highly trained, competent work
force became the driving force for technologically advanced nations.
The social, political, economic systems were constantly modified to
meet the demands of high-tech societies. Material needs and monetary
goals assumed prime importance. Consumerism began to be equated with
happiness. These new developments caused both positive and negative
impacts on individuals and societies. Among negative effects are
adverse environmental impacts such as depletion of ozone layer, green
house effect, acid rain, deforestation, air, water and land pollution.

In this age, human society is also suffering from other maladies such
as; war, drugs, juvenile crime, AIDS and cultural alienation. These
problems have their roots in the existing systems.  In the new world
order, there is a great need to develop systems conducive to the
unfoldment of divinity of human beings. The world of our vision can be
realized by transforming the existing social, political, economic,
industrial and educational systems.
