My Further Theoretical Considerations

I am presenting here, for the first time, my further theoretical considerations based on my book “The Global Democratic Society Revised”.

For writers and readers who are passionate about historical political leaders who made history by their visionary thinking, their attitudes and their actions towards challenging the mainstream opinions in the historical époque they lived in and their constant struggle towards achieving their dreams (goals, visions), the chapter referring to "Illustrations of Paradigm Shifts or Turning Points in the History of Mankind" is an excellent starting point.

The chapter regarding the illustrations of paradigm shifts contains turning points no matter of the connotations (positive or negative) that they were attributed in the given historical context or in our contemporary context.

The writer or reader is free to decide on his own the value of the given historical turning points.

In time, events that represent turning points in the history of mankind and are valued in a positive manner, being acknowledged as achievements, become symbols and turn into myths.

They become part of the conscious and subconscious mind of the people (the collective imaginative) as representing the given achievements.

The American Founding Fathers are the symbols of the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation.

The French Revolution (1789) is known under the slogan

“Liberty, equality and fraternity”.

The European Revolutions (1848) set the stage for: democracy, nationalism, liberalism and socialism.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill are the political leaders who envisioned the formation of the UN. (1949)
They are icons and symbols for The UN and for The Chart of Nations.

George Marshall is the Founder of NATO (1949) and for The Marshall Plan (1947). These were essential elements of his political visionary and his doctrine.

George Marshall is an icon or a symbol for NATO and for the doctrine bearing his name.

Robert Shuman, by The Shuman Plan he conceived, is a symbol for The European Union. (1950)

Martin Luther King Jr. is a symbol for the Civic Movement Rights by non-violent disobedience acts.

Nelson Mandela is a symbol for world peace and human rights.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall is a symbol for the end of The Cold War, the collapse of communism and the triumph of democracy.

The Arab Spring is the proof that people in The Arab World have the will and political desire to lead their nations on their pathways to democracy.

And the examples might go on depending on the focus of the achievements.

Happy readings and a wonderful day!
