Capitalism Helps Good Ideas Become Innovative Solutions

The power to regain our dignity and find our true north heading, resides exclusively within ourselves. Fortunately, most of us have the power and human capacity to give and receive love, healing, forgiveness, kindness, and dignity. Each one of us is the steward of our happiness and success in every moment of life. Do not let anyone tell you differently. For those cynics who believe otherwise perpetrate the loss of human dignity and morality. These perpetrators choose to prolong fear and a negative state of affairs in their personal lives and throughout the world. They are victims of delusion wandering the earth with a broken compass, providing false direction instead of finding their own. Fear is taught and it is learned. Using fear is also a major control over human behavior. Dictators rule by fear. Companies make profits by making people afraid of something. Some religions advance their causes through fear.

In The Closet

Fear motivates people to head to the polls but sometimes also keeps them from voting. Fear results in people being taken advantage of. Ultimately, fear leads to indignity. Fear is a powerful force in our lives, but one that we can proactively counteract, prevent, and reduce. When the human spirit is broken, it is much easier for perpetrators of fear to seep into our lives. They want to control something within your life or your entire being for their political, personal, or financial gain. Fear is omnipresent, but often it can be controlled and mitigated. In recent years many fear factors have been reinforced across humanity and within specific geographies and sects. For many, fear has been manifested and magnified by current events ranging from terrorism, mass shootings, natural disasters, pandemics, nuclear proliferation, hate crimes, human trafficking, and social injustices among other calamities. We cannot control every event, outcome, individual, or organization that may influence our lives. We can control however, how we choose to internalize the influences and our reaction to them. Reflect on your relations among friends, family, coworkers, community members, acquaintances, and neighbors.

Looking For My Life

Who among your relations are motivated or controlled by fear? Who among those relations do you feel are your closest confidants or friendly foe? Whenever you feel fear, take a pause and break that emotion down. What is really going on? Who or what is evoking the emotional response? Evaluate whether the change in your feelings really warranted, or is it a learned behavior from your childhood, deeply rooted in your psyche? Being aware of your feelings and what brings about a change in your energy, your state of being, or emotions is the first step to fighting the influence of fear and the control it can have on your life. Why Do We Need a Dignity Doctrine? We are living in a time of rapid change and immense challenges. As global population soars so too does our competition for life’s critical necessities such as clean air, clean water, food, shelter, and clothing. For most of the past century, capitalism has dominated the global business and political landscape. As an economic and political system that favors profit by private owners versus the state, capitalism has created enormous wealth for some, but too often at the expense of many. Under a capitalistic system of trade and government, financial markets are competitive systems, open to anyone willing to invest and participate. However, capitalism is not a perfect ecosystem that has equal and democratic opportunity. Capitalism, like any social and economic construct, has pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses, waste and inefficiency. Capitalism spurs competition, which can be a powerful leveling agent and force for good, particularly in cultivating resources into values that consumers want. This socioeconomic model combines capitalism with social policies that regulate fair competition in the market and provide safety nets for society to provide what is called a zone of social, market, political, and creative tension. While not perfect, this zone of tension is what enables capitalism to work.

Come To My Aid

In recent years, however, consumers have taken on a more prominent role as activist consumers and citizen scientists, choosing to be advocates for change where other institutions have been slow or incapable of acting. This zone of tension is were both rational and irrational relations are regularly on display and at play, working for or against specific causes and outcomes. This is the sandbox from which public policy is often initiated, where social movements are spawned, and where new ideas can lead to innovative products or services. This zone is always in flux, always changing with the dynamic evolution of society. Supported by a greater access to information and the means to share it, consumers and citizens have had a more direct visibility and larger voice in the zone. Capitalism helps good ideas become innovative solutions, and these can over time become iconic brands and products. These brilliant business people, their brands and products, and iconic legacy exist within the daily operating realities of capital markets. Under a capitalist system of trade and governing, consumers have greater autonomy and control over what types of products and services come into and out of their lives. We have also been artfully convinced to buy products we think we need, some of which we might now lament. Iconic products are those that make the most favorable impression among a majority of customers who willingly choose to identify themselves with a particular brand or product that is their image of high quality and innovation. The iPhone illustrates this phenomenon. As global population has swiftly increased, society’s consumption of natural resources has also increased at an accelerated clip. Capitalism, like ecosystems, is a complex and interrelated system of systems, which is reliant on all of its interdependent parts to remain resilient and functioning. At least that is what many of us believe. When we view the world as having limits, we place unnecessary limits on our imagination and innovative spirit. However, we can acknowledge the facts and truth about system limitations while remaining agile, open, and limitless in our capacity to survive, become sustainable, and attain a better existence.
