Today's Global Community.

Welcome to Global Community 30th Anniversary (1985-2020) and achievements.
Thirty five (35) years ago the Global Community organization was created. Today the world is seeing the amazing accomplishments of Global Community.
This is our Anniversary, you the reader, the researcher, the writer, the doer, the participant in a worthy cause. This is our Day! Our Year! Our place, Earth! Our People, all Life on our planet! This is the time to say thank you all of you!
Over the past thirty five (35) years we have had countless discussions to find new ways, new solutions to global problems, and creating a new Vision for us all and the coming generations, and for all other lifeforms on our planet. Together we made a difference in the world. If humanity, all life on Earth was a ship, then we are its compass and stars to navigate toward a better future. Global Community has offered the world guidelines, politics and ethics for human behaviors so needed for Life's survival on our planet.
Over time, people vision of Global Community has evolved to a new way of behaving and of doing things. It has evolved to that of Global Civilization for its own survival as a species. Global Community has proposed ethics to live by as a Global Civilization for life's survival on our planet. Humanity urgently needed social and ecological reforms, as well as a spiritual renewal to add trust, meaning, standards and practical guidelines to this new quest for survival. Now we do have those reforms! Because global citizens 
want a spiritual home to do good and avoid evil in all its forms.
Global Civilization ethic provides no direct solution for all the extensive problems of humanity. The ethic is giving humanity the moral foundation for a better individual and community. Global Community has offered a new global order with a vision of Hope and Love away from despair and social chaos. Global Civilization ethics has offered fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards. You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all human beings regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color or religion. Peoples of Global Civilization now has on hand new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights
by the Scale of Global Rights 
.
To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance. The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. So now Global Civilization ethics includes a process based on the Scale of Global Rights which means global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. This way Global Civilization ethical grounds are more practical, real, and are more applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.
Wherever there are people there will be conflicts, and ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Community has proposed that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the path to global peace.
Over the past thousands of years to this day, morality in society made its way into our ways of doing business and trade. So the set of behaviors that constitute Global Civilization ethic for a business and trade have evolved largely because they provided possible survival benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, Peoples have evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans have developed truly moral, altruistic instincts. When looking across cultures of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures, the major ones include wisdom, knowledge, courage, justice, love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence. These virtues were not always incorporated into the ways of doing business and trade because the 1% business worldwide became corrupted, greedy, no longer in line with humanity's survival on the planet, and more interested in keeping most of the wealth, resources and power for themselves keeping the remaining 99% of the world population in poverty and powerless to help themselves.
But today we have incorporated these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics
.
Moral values can be identified across cultures, even if we do not accept a global understanding of principles and values including integrity, trustworthiness, benevolence, justice, and fairness. These moral values can be resources for global citizens to embrace and live by, and common ground between believers and nonbelievers, and also for conflicts needing of ethics to resolve problems.
Global Civilization ethics for a business and trade are about how we treat others and a commitment to respect every person humanely and with dignity. For this process to work, global citizens have learned to forgive, be patient and compassionate, promote acceptance, open theirs hearts to one another and practice a culture of solidarity and cooperation. Let go narrow differences between us all for the greater good of humanity and future generations.
Morality has been be derived from a standard that global citizens believed is universal such as the Scale of Global Rights and from Global Civilization ethic for a business and trade which include all lifeforms.
Global Civilization ethic for a business and trade has aimed to identify principles of right action that may be used to guide people in their lives. These principles can be used to decide whether particular courses of action, or particular types of action, are right or wrong. Ethics have emphasized respect for persons, and held that there are certain actions that should never be done. Again here the Scale of Global Rights is the better guide to differentiate and tell between a right or wrong action.
How can we be sure that the corporate citizen global ethics we have proposed over decades of hard work are truly what is needed for humanity's survival?
In society, the proper course of action is one that maximizes the greatest happiness of the greatest number which gives us a measure of right and wrong. What matters is the combined positive effect of everyone and not only of any one person, and "not only of the 1% of the world population in control of most of the wealth and power".
Over the past decades, Global Community has organized a Global Dialogue every day of every year to probe the world about what may be the best vision to follow for humanity's survival this century.
Results obtained have shown clearly that a significant part of the world population has approved a global ethic with the Scale of Global Rights as being the proper guide for this generation and next ones this century.
Global Community has researched and developed ethics that can save humanity from extinction but has encountered numerous criticisms from individuals whose basic human rights might be violated. But that is to be expected! And there is no other way! Global Community has researched and developed better ways concerned about how to improve the Scale of Global Rights
to continue this process. On the Scale of Global Rights, primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems and ecological rights are on top of the Scale. They are the most important aspects on the Scale. Applying the Scale into our ways of life will require sacrifices from people whose human rights will be violated because social values have different degrees of importance on the Scale. But this process is necessary because the 1% of the world population has already violated the basic human rights of most people on Earth and brought humanity and all life on Earth close to extinction and caused the ecological and social crisis we face as Global Civilization which triggered the planetary state of emergency. 
Now Global Community has claimed that in addition to human beings as a species, all other lifeforms are important and must be included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. This is a morally right for humanity's survival because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation and conservation of Earth natural resources, the air, water and soil.
A high level of professionalism has been expected from all professional persons so they have developed up-to-date codes of ethics with specific guidelines in line with the Scale of Global Rights. Corporate citizen global ethics should be consistent with the future requirements of morality governing society. If improving survival of all life on our planet is given a moral priority in society, it must also be a moral priority to the corporate citizen, and it may be justifiable to contravene other moral demands in order to meet this goal. Because there are different moral codes that apply to different sections of society and differences in codes between societies, problems will arise when the Scale of Global Rights is applied as a basis of global ethics. The Scale must be given a moral priority.
Global citizens may be asked to make sacrifices concerning human rights categorized as less important on the Scale of Global Rights. This would happen only to give the greater good a moral priority and success.
Everytime you participate in the Global Dialogue you help improve humanity and all life's survival on our planet. We all make a difference in the world! I know so! Thank you for participating! Thank you to engage in more significant and meaningful actions to save Earth and all life. Your names, your papers, your articles, your recommendations, your comments, and all of our work done so far was included here in the Proceedings of each Global Dialogue , and in the Global Files folder

Let us go over the history of when and how Global Community was first created, promoted and developed to what it is today.
Thirty five (35) years ago, on October 6, 1985, the Global Community organization was created along with business Global Community WebNet. I remember having accomplished my first 'soft activism' in my city, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was such a memorable day for me I actually stood up for a worthy cause: humanity, all life on Earth, and the protection of the global life-support systems. Being a scientist, I extended my principles to include standing up for them in public. My very first activism was at City Hall on Sunday, October 6, 1985. I stood up in front of City Hall that day. I was born again that day! Standing up for what I believed in very strongly! I produced a brochure explaining everything I stood up for. Those who know me can easily imagine how meticulously long the brochure may have been.
Then, on October 29, I went to the University of Calgary campus and distributed the brochure to anyone I met. I also posted the brochure on bulletin boards. Several other public places got my message. I was very proud of having done it. My first very intense exploration of my own capability of reaching out to others and standing up for workable sound solutions to global problems. That day on October 6, for the very first time, the expression 'Global Community' was used in the world. People were using the expression 'international community' but no one had ever used 'Global Community'. So I defined what it meant for the years to come and included its definition on my October 6 brochure. A more up to date definition is shown at the beginning of the Introduction.
Global Community as defined in 1985.

From there on I produced countless brochures and investigative reports; organized public seminars; and I was invited to give talks in schools. There was so much interest in my teaching that I have decided to research and develop a course on environmental auditing and assessment of residential, commercial and industrial properties. A very long course indeed, eight months long, covering all aspects. I taught the course in a special area of the University of Calgary Library. Although it has cost me plenty, my course was for free. It was so successful that the federal government of Canada decided to 'buy' my course package. Very little money! Then a year later, it was used by the government to offer a special training with the same objectives at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT). The industry was pleased of such initiative.
For the first time ever my course was used to train others on the environmental auditing and assessment of properties, land assessment, pollution evaluation, remediation and restoration of building and land, and the protection of the environment. And a year later, the Univeristy of Calgary started its own program also covering similar environmental aspects. This experience taught me that if I persevere in standing up for what I strongly believe is right then I will enventually succeed.
Again back in 1985, I have researched and developed several new concepts no one had ever thought about. Of course the most important expression was 'Global Community'. As usual, being a scientist, I gave it a long and technical definition. Later on in the 1990s, after having met a marvelous woman whom I married, Virginie, we gave the definition a more popular and easy to grasp meaning. Actually Virginie had a lot to do with this new version. Virginie and I had countless brain-storming exercises in the Rocky Mountains. From there on many important aspects of Global Community were established for the decades to follow.
It was then within the 1990s that I started several businesses one of them being a federally incorporated business. Global Community WebNet became Global Community WebNet Ltd. which is now the only federally incorporated business I have kept alive over the years. All of my previous businesses were offering services related to environmental auditing and assessment of properties, and decommissioning. They were:
Virginie (Virginie passed away April 28, 2000)
, some friends, and I also created and registered a society:
The Society for World Sustainable Development
One of the very powerful tools to communicate our ideas and having everyone to participate in the discussions has been the Global Dialogue. I first developed and made public global dialogues in a report I published on global changes in 1990. The report contained 450 policies (workable sound solutions) on sustainable development, and was presented to the United Nations, the Government of Canada, the provincial government of Alberta and several non-profit organizations and scientists. There was a need at the time for helping humanity back onto the path of survival this millennium. There is still a need for such help and most likely will continue to be so forever. Global dialogues are the source of new ideas and finding new ways for our survival and taking along with us other lifeforms on the planet.
Today, the people of Global Community are using global dialogues to resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human and Earth rights abuses. In order to bring about the event of peace, Global Community is offering other organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. We can accomplish this task by concrete actions such as:
Since its beginning in 1985, many accomplishments can be claimed by Global Community:
We have claimed ownership of all of the above as ours because we were the first in establishing them, defining them and promoting them on a monthly basis with Newsletters, press releases and letters.
The Table of Contents show more achievements we also claimed ownership of. Each achievement has a link to connect for more details.
Happy 35th year Anniversary everyone. May you all have a very happy, peaceful, healthy and prosperous 35th year Anniversary of Global Community.

This way Global Civilization ethical grounds are more practical, real, and are more applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.
Wherever there are people there will be conflicts, and ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Community has proposed that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the path to global peace
.

But today we have incorporated these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics
. Moral values can be identified across cultures, even if we do not accept a global understanding of principles and values including integrity, trustworthiness, benevolence, justice, and fairness. These moral values can be resources for global citizens to embrace and live by, and common ground between believers and nonbelievers, and also for conflicts needing of ethics to resolve problems.

Morality has been be derived from a standard that global citizens believed is universal such as the Scale of Global Rights and from Global Civilization ethic for a business and trade which include all lifeforms.
Global Civilization ethic for a business and trade has aimed to identify principles of right action that may be used to guide people in their lives. These principles can be used to decide whether particular courses of action, or particular types of action, are right or wrong. Ethics have emphasized respect for persons, and held that there are certain actions that should never be done. Again here the Scale of Global Rights is the better guide to differentiate and tell between a right or wrong action.
How can we be sure that the corporate citizen global ethics we have proposed over decades of hard work are truly what is needed for humanity's survival?
In society, the proper course of action is one that maximizes the greatest happiness of the greatest number which gives us a measure of right and wrong. What matters is the combined positive effect of everyone and not only of any one person, and "not only of the 1% of the world population in control of most of the wealth and power".

Corporate citizen global ethics should be consistent with the future requirements of morality governing society. If improving survival of all life on our planet is given a moral priority in society, it must also be a moral priority to the corporate citizen, and it may be justifiable to contravene other moral demands in order to meet this goal. Because there are different moral codes that apply to different sections of society and differences in codes between societies, problems will arise when the Scale of Global Rights is applied as a basis of global ethics. The Scale must be given a moral priority.
Global citizens may be asked to make sacrifices concerning human rights categorized as less important on the Scale of Global Rights. This would happen only to give the greater good a moral priority and success.

In order to bring about the event of peace, Global Community is offering other organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. We can accomplish this task by concrete actions such as:
a) Tracking armed conflicts within and between nations around the world and offering assistance in dispute resolution;
b) Promoting global rights and democracy;
c) Promoting the abolishment of the war industry worldwide;
d) Monitoring democratic elections; and
e) Educating the public about the advantages of a peaceful solution to any conflict.

We have claimed ownership of all of the above as ours because we were the first in establishing them, defining them and promoting them on a monthly basis with Newsletters, press releases and letters.
The Table of Contents show more achievements we also claimed ownership of. Each achievement has a link to connect for more details.
Happy 35th year Anniversary everyone. May you all have a very happy, peaceful, healthy and prosperous 35th year Anniversary of Global Community.
