Basic Concepts of Social Sustainabilitynability, #70 Posted: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 Title: “SS Interpretations of Social Issues, #18 ” By Daniel Raphael, Ph.D. The humility of social sustainability. Interpreting social issues using the values and principles of social sustainability provides a level social playing field for every individual. Yes, arrogant, condescending people who exhibit their opinions, prejudices and bigotries will still be among us, the social equality of people will become a moral issue and highly visible. When the public has chosen to move toward social sustainability, numerous social policies will need to be amended to balance social justice and social equity. As I mentioned in an earlier Post, the amendment of social policies will not occur simultaneously or overnight, but developmentally. While those societies may have chosen to move toward SS, that must be accomplished developmentally. Yes, creating solutions will require innovating new social policies, rather than fixing old unworkable social policies, implementing them must be done developmentally in a staged progression. While implementation of new SS social policies may seem surreal now, given the population size of most democratic societies, after those populations are decimated rebuilding healthy and sustainable societies will require a humble approach to designing social policies that appreciate each citizen as a social asset. Money, position, social standing, political leverage, and economic power will be leveled by the three core values of social sustainability. Privately and in social circles of contemporaries those influences will still be visible and exercised, but as social policies are formed each individual with or without social status will be provided with the tools to unlock and develop their innate potential, equally as anyone else. In such a decimated society, everyone will be needed to rebuild what was lost, but within the parameters of the three values of social sustainability for creating a sustainable society, without exceeding those limits, which would jeopardize its sustainability. What I have been providing in these Posts are the philosophical and conceptual frame work for preparing citizens who remain to create truly sustainable families, communities and societies, with sustainable organizations in the social, political and economic-financial pillars that support sustainable societies. These ideas are needed now to familiarize people with the possibilities of creating societies that remain sustainable for centuries and millennia.
