Each society is structuralized and operates in certain ways which are necessitated by a number of objective conditions. These conditions include methods of production and distribution which in turn depend on raw materials, industrial techniques, climate, size of population, and political and geographical factors, cultural traditions and influences to which society is exposed. There is no “society” in general, but only specific social structures which operate in different and ascertainable ways. Although these social structures do change in the course of historical development, they are relatively fixed at any given historical period, and society can exist only by operating within the framework of its particular structure. The members of the society and/or the various classes or status groups within it have to behave in such a way as to be able to function in the sense required by the social system. It is the function of the social character to shape the energies of the members of society in such a ways that their behavior is not a matter of conscious decision as to whether or not to follow the social pattern, but one of wanting  to act as they have to act and at the same time finding gratification in acting according to the requirements of the culture. In other words, it is the social character’s function to mold and channel human energy within a given society for the purpose of the continued functioning of this society. Because of massive changes in society cannot occur without conflict, we believe the metaphor of history as “waves” of change is more dynamic and revealing than talk about a transition to “post-modernism.” #RandolphHarris 1 of 18

Waves are dynamic. When waves crash in on one another, powerful crosscurrent are unleashed. When waves of history collide, whole civilizations clash. And that sheds light on much that otherwise seems senseless or random in today’s World. The wave theory of conflict tells us that the main conflict we face is not between Island and the West or “the rest against the West.” Nor is America in decline. Nor are we facing the “end of history.” The deepest economic and strategic change of all is the coming division of the World into three distinct, differing, and potentially clashing civilizations that cannot be mapped using the conventional definitions. First Wave civilization was and still in inescapably attached to the land. Whatever local form it takes, whatever language its people speak, whatever its religion or belief system, it is a product of the agricultural revolution. Even today, multitudes live and die scrabbling at the unyielding soil as their ancestors did centuries ago. Second Wave civilization’s origins are in dispute. However, life did not fundamentally change for large numbers of people until, roughly speaking, three hundred and twenty years ago. That was when Newtonian science first arose. It is when the steam engine was first put to economic use and the first factories began to proliferate in Britain, France, and Italy. The less affluent began moving into cities. Daring new ideas began to circulate: the idea of progress, the odd doctrine of individual rights, the Rousseauian notion of a social contract, secularism, the separation of church and state, and the novel idea that leaders should be chosen by popular will, not divine right. #RandolphHarris 2 of 18

Driving many of these changes was a new way of creating wealth—factory production. And before long many different elements came together to form a system: mass production, mass consumption, mass education, mass media all linked together and served by specialized institutions—schools, corporations, and political parties. Even family structure changed from the large, agrarian-stye household in which several generations lived together to the small, stripped-down nuclear family typical of industrial societies. However, as of 2015, we are starting to see suburban houses growing larger in square footage, many people working in their private electronic cottage, and even large houses which encompass an apartment for elderly parents or adult children. These houses also have more than one master bedroom, sometimes as many as three. These are known as multi-generational homes. Cresleigh Homes and Millhaven Homes have many great floor plans to choose from. Nonetheless, to the people actually experiencing these many changes, life must have seemed chaotic. Yet the changes were, in fact, all closely interrelated. They were merely steps toward the full development of what we came to call modernity—mass-industrial society, the civilization of the Second Wave. That term, “civilization,” may sound pretentious, especially to many American ears, but no other term is sufficiently all-embracing to include such varied matters as technology, family life, religion, culture, politics, business, hierarchy, leadership, values, sexual morality and epistemology. #RandolphHarris 3 of 18

Swift and radical changes are occurring in every one of these dimensions of society. Change so many social, technological and cultural elements at once and you create not just a transition but a transformation, not just a new society but the beginnings, at least, of a totally new civilization. This new civilization entered history with a roar in Western Europe, fiercely resisted at every step. IN every industrializing country bitter, often bloody battles broke out between Second Wave industrial and commercial groups and First Wave landowners in alliance very often with the church (itself a great landowner). Masses of peasants were forced off the land to provide workers for the new “satanic mills” and factories that multiplied over the landscape. Strikes and rebellions, civil insurrections, border disputes and nationalist uprisings erupted as the war between First and Second Wave interest became the master conflict—the central tensions from which other conflicts derived. This pattern was repeated in almost every industrializing country. In the United Stares of America is required a terrible Civil War for the industrial-commercial interest of the North to vanquish the agrarian elites of the South. Only a few years later, the Meiji Revolution broke out in Japan, and once more Second Wave modernizers triumphed over the First Wave traditionalists. The Spread of Second Wave civilization, with its strange new way of making wealth, destabilized relationships between countries as well, creating power vacuums and power shifts. #RandolphHarris 4 of 18

Industrial civilization, the product of the great Second Wave of change, took root most rapidly on the northern shores of the great Atlantic Basin. As the Atlantic powers industrialized, they needed markets and affordable raw materials from distant regions. The advanced Second Wave powers thus wages wars of colonial conquest and came to dominate the remaining First Wave states and tribal units all over Asian and Africa. It was the master conflict again—Second Wave industrial powers versus First Wave agrarian powers—but this time on a global rather than domestic scale, and it was this struggle that basically determined the shape of the World until recent times. It set the frame within which most wars took place. Tribal and territorial wars between different primitive an agricultural groups continued as they had throughout previous millennia. However, these were of limited importance and often merely weakened both sides, making them easy prey for the colonizing force of industrial civilization. This happened, for example, in southern Africa, as Cecile Rhodes and his armed agents seized vast territories from tribal and agrarian groups busy fighting one another with primitive weapons. Elsewhere, too, many seemingly unconnected wars around the World were, in fact, expressions of the main global conflict not between competing states but competing civilizations. Yet the very biggest and most murderous wars during the industrial age were intra-industrial—wars that pitted Second Wave nations like Germany and Britain against one another, as each one struggled for global dominance while keeping the World’s First Wave populations in their subordinate place. #RandolphHarris 5 of 18

The ultimate result was a clear division. The industrial era bisected the World into a dominant and dominating Second Wave civilization and scores of sullen but subordinate First Wave colonies. Many of us grew up in this World divided between First and Second Wave civilizations. And it was perfectly clear which one held power. Today, the lineup of World civilizations is different. We are speeding toward a totally different structure of power that will not create a World cut in two but sharply divided into three contrasting and competing civilizations—the first still symbolized by the hoe, the second by the assembly line, and the third by the computer. In this trisected World the First Wave sector supplies agricultural and mineral resources, the Second Wave sector provides affordable labor and does the mass production, and a rapidly expanding Third Wave sector rises to dominance based on the new ways in which it creates and exploits knowledge. Third Wave nations sell information and innovation, management, culture and pop culture, advanced technology, software, education, training, medical care and financial and other services to the World. One of those services might well also turn out to be military protection based on its command of superior Third Wave forces. (That is, in effect, what the high-tech nations provided for Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War.) America’s impressive economic performance resulted first and foremost from its structural and macroeconomic strengths. The role of domestic demand was particularly important. A dramatic plunge of exports was largely offset by an increase in investment and dynamism of private consumption. #RandolphHarris 6 of 18

Decoupling raised expectations about the global economy rebalancing in the post-downturn period. The global economy rebalancing idea, advocated by President Trump is based on the presumption that Americans and Europeans should increase their savings, exports, and working population. This will help to reduce the nation deficit, increase America wages. The America government is urged to encourage the purchase of American products by offering tax credits and/or rebates on the purchase of all American vehicles, regardless of if they are new or use. Reduce the taxes on farmland and subsidize their crops to make America meat, produce, dairy and poultry more affordable to Americans, which will also increase the demands for exports. It is better to stimulate the market through the reduction of taxes, which will make American products more appealing, but will also keep Americans employed, which will reduce their use of transport payments. When people are working and earning a living, it improves their physical and mental health, in boosts their self-esteem, it increases tax revenue and keep people out of trouble with the law. They are also better able to educate their children so they become productive members of this community. Work also keeps many people from abusing drugs and alcohol because they do not have time for substance abuse with the increased responsibilities. By making America more of a close economy, through tax rebates and decreased taxes, we will reduce our dependence on other countries and reduce of federal deficit. #RandolphHarris 7 of 18

Chastity is sexual purity. Those who are chaste are morally clean in their thoughts, words, and actions. Chastity means not having any sexual relations before marriage. It also means complete fidelity to husband or wife during marriage. Sometimes people try to convince themselves that relations outside of marriage are acceptable if the participants love one another. This is not true. Breaking the law of chastity and encouraging someone else to do so is not an expression of love. People who love each other will never endanger one another’s happiness and safety in exchange for temporary personal pleasure. Sexual immortality is the selling off of sexual purity and involves any type of sexual expression outside the boundaries of a biblically defined marriage relationship. In all but one of the respondents’ narratives, and regardless of their specific prostitution-related experiences, was an identification of prostitutes-as-victims. Drawing on discourses of “victimhood” whereby victims are seen as being “blameless” and “not responsible” for the fate that befalls them, these twenty interviewees talked about themselves as individuals who were unable to control the events of their lives and who were controlled by others that hurt, mistreated or injured them. Most of the women discussed how past events (especially sexual and/or physical abuse) had “turned” them into prostitutes because, as a result of such events, all they knew “was how to be used and abused.” Witness Margie: “I didn’t have a clue then. All I knew was how to be raped, and how to be attacked and how to be beaten up and that’s all I knew. By the time he put me on the game I was already a victim, I was just a born victim. (Margie, age 37.) #RandolphHarris 8 of 18

Their identification as victim was also seen in the way that the women recounted the injurious actions of others (usually their pimps) as displacing any agency they may have had. Barbara’s comments exemplify this: “I did as I was told. You have to, otherwise you’re dead. When they’ve got a gun pointed to your head, you do as you’re told.” In contrast, in eighteen women’s accounts there was also an identification of prostitutes-as-survivors in which the women talked about themselves as successfully surviving and negotiating the risks they encountered, as battling for control over their own money (in relation to pimps) and their own physical well-being (in relation to johns). All but two of these eighteen women described themselves as “lucky” and such talk suggests their survivor-identity. Witness Georgie’s characterization of herself when she was being pimped by her last boyfriend: “I guess I was one of the lucky ones, I had clothes. I could pay my rent. I wasn’t as bad off as some. I suppose I was lucky and because of that I’ve survived.” Interestingly, it was in their talk of luckiness and being survivors that the paradoxical nature of prostitution becomes especially clear. “I get treated a lot better than most, as luck would have it. I keep some of my money, but only for the fact that he knows I’ve been to prison cuz I killed someone. He knows what I’m capable of. And he knows I’ll always make sure I survive. (Katrina, aged 21.) “There’s two sorts of prostitutes. There’s the ones that are out there for themselves, and there’s the ones that are working for their guy. #RandolphHarris 9 of 18

“I’ll give anyone credit for standing out on the streets, doing it for themselves, taking their money home. But I can’t understand anyone that can stand out there and, then, give it all to some man. [But you were in that situation for over two years.] Yea. But at least I got out of it. I survived. In the end, I’m one of the lucky ones. I’m strong.” (Lois, aged 21.) Both of these women (Lois and Katrina) were strident in presenting their engagement in prostitution as a trap threatening their physical, material and social survival. They both talked about being forced to prostitute through fear of death, about being pimped by men who were sadistic and brutal, who had battered and raped them. And yet, here, both women identified as being survivors. When people care for one another enough to keep the law of chastity, their love, trust, and commitment increase, resulting in greater happiness and unity. In contrast, relationships built sexual immorality sour quickly. Those who engage in sexual immorality often feel fear, guilt, and shame. Bitterness, jealousy, and hatred soon replace any positive feelings that once existed in their relationship. Our Heavenly Father has given us the law of chastity for our protection. Obedience to this law is essential to personal peace and strength of character and to happiness in the home. Those who keep themselves sexually pure will avoid the spiritual and emotional damage that always come from sharing physical intimacies with someone outside the marriage. #RandolphHarris 10 of 18

Those who keep themselves sexually pure will be sensitive to the Holy Ghost’s guidance, strength, comfort, and protection and will fulfill an important requirement for receiving a temple recommend and participating in temple ordinances. In seeking to deceive the self-actualized, the first great effort of psychopathological offenders is directed toward getting one to accept their suggestions and workings as being the speaking, working, or leading of God. Their initial device is to counterfeit a “Divine Pressence,” under cover of which they can mislead their victim as they wish. Remember, the word “counterfeit” means THE SUBSTITUTION OF THE FALSE FOR THE TRUE. The condition on the part of the believer which gives the deceiving spirits their opportunity is sometimes a mistaken belief regarding the location of God. God is present either in them (consciously), or around them (consciously). When they pray they think of and pray to God in themselves, or else to God around them—in the room or atmosphere. They use their imagination, and try to “realize” His presence, and they desire to “feel” His presence in them or upon them. This locating of God in or around the believer usually comes about at the time of some special crisis in one’s life, before which one lived more by the acceptance of facts declared in the Scriptures, as understood by one’s intelligence. However, then one becomes more “conscious” of the presence of God by the Spirit and in the Spirit, and so begins to locate the Person of God as in, around, or upon one. So one turns inward, and begins to pray to God as within one—which in time may even result in prayer to psychopathological offenders. #RandolphHarris 11 of 18

The logical sequence of prayer to God as located within can be pressed to absurdity, id est, if a person can pray to God residing in oneself, why not pray to God in another, elsewhere? The possible dangers arising from this misconception of truth—the subjectivizing of God as a Person within—are obvious. Some self-actualized live so inwardly in communion, worship and vision as to become spiritually introverted, and cramped and narrow in their outlook; with the result that their spiritual capacity and mental powers become dwarfed and powerless. Others become victims to the “inner voice” and the introverted attitude of listening to it—which is the ultimate result of the location of God as a Person within—so that eventually the mind becomes fixed in the introverted condition with no out-going action at all. In fact, all turning inwards to a subjective location of God as indwelling, speaking, communing and guiding—in a materialistic or conscious sense—is open to the gravest danger; for upon this thought and belief, sedulously cultivated by the powers of psychopathological offenders, the most serious deceptions of deceiving offenders have taken place. Philosophers have labored for thousands of years to discover and organize ontological concepts and have assigned them a variety of names: principles, categories, ultimate notions, elements, structures, and so on. #RandolphHarris 12 of 18

Ontological concepts are a priori in the strict sense of the word. They determine the nature of experience. They are present whenever something is experienced. This is not to say that they are known prior to experience nor that they constitute an immutable framework. However, if an experience is had, it presupposes a structure. The experience changes only because its a priori structure changes. Consequently, as long as there is experience in any definite sense of the word, there is a structure of experience which can be recognized within the process of experiencing and which can be elaborated critically. We are dealing with the experience of being and nonbeing. Because these are such ultimate notions, we cannot spell out the ontological concepts with “definitional” precision, but only by “configurational” consistency, id est, by describing their stable configuration in a variety of contexts. Not only is the strict definition of ontological concepts impossible, but also their strict verification. There is certainly not an experimental way, but there is an experiential way. The only answer, but sufficient answer, which can be given to the question of ontological verification is the appeal to intelligent recognition. To help with the evolution of family agencies in general, the first problem was treated by extending a helping private or public hand to the few with the lowest income or the most extreme misfortune. This called for charity by philanthropic individuals and associations, or assistance through government relief offices. #RandolphHarris 13 of 18

At the second stage, there are privately organized bodies such as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and special clinics maintained by subscription for such purposes as cancer detection. On the public side there are organized preventive agencies such as the health departments, and state institutions like mental and tuberculosis hospitals, such as the one Sarah L. Winchester established in New Haven, Connecticut in memory of her beloved husband, William Wirt Winchester. The third stage has only arrived for scattered segments of the population, and only partially for most of these, despite the vast interest of the America public in health as a value, an interest which is reflected in advertising and every other medium. Most notable of the private agencies at this stage are the voluntary group insurance plans fostered by the various state medical and hospital societies (Blue Shield and Blue Cross), whose combined coverage is now said to be above fifty million persons. There are a multitude of other risk-sharing agencies, which are sponsored by companies, unions, fraternal organizations, and, of course, private insurance companies. On the public side, the only agencies which could be called co-operative are Workmen’s Compensation bureaus at the state level, and Veterans Administration provisions at the national level. And even in these, the recipients’ participation in policy-making is slight and only possible through the awkward medium of labor and veterans’ pressure groups. It is impossible to anticipate what effect a continued rise and wide distribution of real per capita incomes will have upon the adoption of such a scheme. #RandolphHarris 14 of 18

Schemes of this kind raise a real problem as to how desirable it is to shift the economic responsibility for proper medical care further away from the family. Perhaps families can be adequately equipped to discharge this function through lesser expedients than national health insurance, which was the part of the Ewing program which aroused most opposition. In any case, both advocates of a federal program such as the Committee for the Nation’s Health, and opponents of it such as the American Medical Association, seem to agree that the problem in financing adequate medical care is limited financial resources of middle-income families. Well-to-do families have adequate resources to meet all their medical costs; dependent families, though suffering a higher incidence of sickness, receive considerable, if as yet inadequate, care through the various private and public relief agencies. Yet between these two segments of the population there is a large group who fall far short of the level of medical care they could receive through a comprehensive program. The grounds of judgment as to appropriate action here are patently debatable, as also are the latest proposals for the reinsurance of companies offering private plans for entire families. Whatever decisions emerge, Americans can well take pride in the vigor and rational nature of the present discission of national policy. Whether the ultimate decision is for a private or a public plan, it seems that meanwhile the stage of concerted action is spreading rapidly and embracing more than a mere segment of the population. #RandolphHarris 15 of 18

A number of medical agencies, while maintaining a vigorous interest in their therapeutic and preventive functions, have moved beyond these stages to a concern for planning for more general values of maximum physical and mental health. This is most conspicuous in the field of medical research, where one can indeed speak of positive programs and of genuine, even spectacular progress. Medical research has moved long beyond the etiology of disease to fundamental theoretical research in a great array of fields such as physiology, biochemistry, bacteriology, and the like. Medical research is now in a position to give authoritative guidance on the hygienic conditions optimal for the physical competence of the nation’s family members. The bulk of such research is now conducted by salaried investigators in public institutions, or through tax-exempt foundations and nonprofit corporations such as universities, within which the commercial incentive, as distinguished from the professional incentive, is subordinate if not absent. A parallel development in the commercial field is the excellent research done under the sponsorship of certain pharmaceutical houses. The interpenetration of medical problems, like social problems, as well as the cost, makes researcher turn for support to the whole community. In the United States of America Public Health Service, appropriations for research divisions are now a substantial part of the appropriations for the disease control divisions. Another field of positive planning is the health programs of the schools. #RandolphHarris 16 of 18

Where these are most fully developed, they include periodically physical examinations and recommendations to parents, instruction in hygiene and sex, physical training, and planed school lunches. While these programs ostensibly only cover school children, much of what the children learn is passed on to their parents. The controversial problems that arise in the school health programs such as diet, sex instruction, or immunization again bring up the issue of the extent to which the school claim functions previously or potentially the responsibility of the family. Most of this controversy is conducted in terms of moral and religious beliefs, without much thought for the allocation of resources between school and family which would result in the development of each child’s maximum competence. A third promising trend is in pediatrics, where there is a movement toward child development in the positive sense, as exemplified in such growing institutions as well-baby clinics. Well-baby clinics are gradually perfecting measures of child development and procedures for training parents in matter-of-fact and reliable methods for fostering optimal development, but they still have far to go. Obstetric programs also are giving increasing pre-parental instruction to mothers and fathers, on both delivery and infant care. #RandolphHarris 17 of 18

As such schemes evolve, they will seem less like medical agencies and more like schools. “Social hygiene” has come to mean “training for personal and family living.” Planned parenthood clinics are turning toward the correction of infertility in the sedentary classes, to nonmedical counseling, and to preparing young couples for marriage in other respects. Public health nursing and health education have become distinct professions. Apart from the gains being made through biological research, programs to advance the health and physical competence of the people in the positive sense will in the future be conducted as much through economic, social service, counseling, educational, and recreational agencies, as directly through the medical agencies, as directly through the medical agencies themselves. And the medical professions, as they intensify their concern with prevention of ill health and with public health generally, are not only finding themselves linked with other professions, but with their clients. Their clients as fellow-citizens become partners in organizing the conditions for the growth of competence. The prognosis of the decay and barbarism into which the twenty-first century is sinking into made by the people of the most varied philosophical and political views. The number of self-employed entrepreneurs has deceased considerably, and many corporate businesses are failing. However, capitalism appears as the system which corresponds perfectly to human nature, and places it beyond the reach of criticism. #RandolphHarris 18 of 18
