Towards a Learning Society

Here’s the key.  The human development categories labeled “psychological health” and “emotional intelligence” are like twins.  And their characteristics have been shown to be essentially the same as the authentically creative person (Maslow, 1971).  Thus appropriate conditions nurture all three: emotional health, creativity, and psychological balance.  People with these qualities are in great demand.  They provide the fundamental features all organizations and communities seek in the 21st-century: stability, collaboration, and innovation.

CURE has a formula.   It is a (confluent, brain function developmental) social environment management system design – focused upon timing, presentation, relationships, and values – that motivates people to learn and grow throughout life, and provides a “how-to.”  The design is focused upon engendering health and intelligence, becoming smarter/healthier – physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, aesthetically and spiritually (“big picture”).  It nurtures the emergence of the self-actualizing person – society’s most valuable asset and that which we are all born to be.  Such people consistently derive more value from everyday life and add more to it. They understand and help guide the process of growth in an evolutionary world.

How does it work? It organizes step-by-step development toward a learning society.   Becoming a learning society is every neighborhood community’s best strategy.  A proper learning society model both grows and attracts the emotionally healthy, (intellectually) creative, psychologically balanced people all forward-thinking organizations and communities – in fact, all social entities – now want and need.

The CURE “learning community” reinvention process has three parts:   1. Initial neighborhood demonstration model(s); 2.  Pre-K and Parenting education models in adjacent neighborhoods, and; 3. a mass communications campaign – marketing ideas that stimulate healthy thinking and deliberate intelligent behavior. Each is focused on growing emotional health, (foundational/intellectual) creativity and psychological well being.  CURE offers experience and guidance in organizing all three: neighborhood model development, Pre K – 12 education/parenting models and mass communications.
