Solution to the Crisis
A suitable response to the crisis requires an educational, moral and conscious shift among the citizens of the world. Each person must recognize that his or her good destiny is dependent on their relations with others. When we place openness and concern for others at the top of society’s agenda, when that openness and concern for others is the defining principle through whi
ch, for example, school curricula are examined, we will immediately feel that society has begun a process of healing. People will form an open approach to the world – a cosmopolitan prism through which they will be able to judge their actions toward others. This process will also facilitate the creation of the type of systems we hope to see in the political, social, and financial arenas. RESEARCH
Integral Education Method
The ARI Institute has developed a method for enhancing human connections at all levels of society. The result of over a decade of research is the Integral Education method, which fosters a new, integral perspective that can be applied to every sector of society:
Relationships
The integral education generates positive and supportive relationships with others, and enhances sensitivity to the relations between the individual and the people surrounding the individual. Mutual Responsibility
Integral Education will help the world gradually emerge from the crisis by understanding how we complement one another and that achieving a new balance between people will help us deal with everything happening around us. We call this “mutual responsibility.”
Money and Business in the New World
In tomorrow’s integral community the entire economy and calculations surrounding it will be based on non-monetary rewards such as social approval. For this reason, the most valued people will be those who contribute to the community and society, rather than those who create the biggest profits for their company’s shareholders. Organizations that will adapt their strategy and structure to the conditions of the new stage that the world is entering will succeed. Fast Education
The integral education method involves a very quick process. What people need today is to understand the structure of the world, the new global stage we have entered, and the uniting forces operating on our world. This method helps people understand very quickly how they must act so as not to harm themselves. They will also learn that it is no longer enough not to harm others intentionally but that all relations in society must be organized according to the new interdependent network we are gradually discovering. Adapting ourselves to suit the integral nature of this network will ensure our sustainability and a better quality of life for people everywhere.
