World Harmony Academy (WHA): The Main Concept
The information society due to replace the industrial society, requires not traditional one-sided but all-sided harmonious education appropriate to a new society of universal information and new priority value of harmony. The scientific theory of this society is tetra sociology, which unfolds the laws of its social harmony determining its harmonious nature, distinct from the disharmonious nature of an industrial society.
The harmony of this information society (civilization) is defined by harmony of its four necessary and sufficient spheres (social, information / cultural, organizational / political, economic/technical ) and harmony of the appropriate four classes of the population engaged in these spheres. These classes first realize themselves, their own priority role and their nature as the harmonious social actors only in an information society. They realize themselves on the basis of the universal information (universal scientific knowledge) of four harmonious social spheres, their laws, a value priority and the infinite process of social and individual harmonization. This information becomes a general resource accessible to all the population of an information society the possession of which can only occur in a context of continuous harmonious education.
The harmonious classes of this society require adequate general harmonious education of the population on the basis of the universal scientific information in its appropriate system. The system of general continuous harmonious education begins with its source and constant generator:with World Harmony Academy (WHA). It should arise in this or that place on the planet in the coming years, as all necessary bases for its birth are prepared by human kind. Its realized survival and prosperity will begin from now on: the purposeful harmonious and sustainable development of global spheres of human kind, during which all global problems which remained from an industrial society are solved. The world harmonious peace, excluding arms, wars, enmity and violence, is established here too. New humankind and a new era begin from now on : the HARMONIOUS ERA of HARMONIOUS HUMANKIND.
WHA - A brief definition
The World Harmony Academy is the beginning, source and generator of general harmonious education all over the world in this new century. General harmonious education is an education of children, youth and new generations as harmonious world citizens on a global scale. It is long winded, but the most effective way for the achievement of indestructible harmonious peace and its culture.
The distribution of WHA and harmonious education worldwide can permit within 15-20 years not only to stop all modern wars but also to prevent all wars in the future. It is the most effective action for peace, for common good and prosperity. Therefore the WHA is the most effective World Peace Academy simultaneously. Mahatma Gandhi wrote: "If we are ever to have real peace in this world we shall have to begin with the children." We could add: we should begin with their harmonious and peace education.
A COMPLETE SUPERSTRUCTURE, STRUCTURE AND SUBSTRUCTURES from concept to execution for establishment of a national framework, towards the creation of a highly evolved harmonious society is NOW available from www.peacefromharmony.org.
