Cultural Consciousness and the Media

The interactive capacity of the human brain to be both mechanical and culturally adaptive provides an evolving filter for consciousness (i.e.: consciousness loosely applied here as the conceptual personality housed within each human entity).

As conceptual thinkers we may be the 21st Centuries greatest allies; as participants in the global enactment of this the new Internet Society. An awakening of perceptive belief systems engaging age-old developmental histories with the twist of modernism and social conscious has emerged.

As journalists and documentarians we apply our conscious beliefs to the delivery of the Fourth Estate Guardianship (FEG) and principles through qualitative and nonmonetocratic means. This is, at least, the hope of all true journaliststo deliver the medium in just and conscionable accords. As an evolutionary species we have developed an innate ability to reflect on the worldview. We believe today, in our very era, that the worldview we maintain may remain adaptive.

Previous to the advent of the WWW Society our reflection on the worldview remained somewhat skewed and predicated on localities, origins, governments, or belief systems. It is in this context that our cultural views have awakened to the new millennium.

As FEGs we are developing a concept of the memeology of cultural adaptation and relating that to one another through intellectually diverse and pliable means. This, pliability allows us to receive and interpret sensory data through the spectacles of observation perhaps disenfranchising ourselves from our core, or even base, memes that may be buried deep within our psyches (i.e.: political beliefs, stereotypes, taboos, and etc.). This act of relegating our mindsets toward more observational, open-minded, and less reactionary means of addressing the worldview opens our cultural consciousness up toward "other" perspectives on the social paradigms of the world community.

The evolution of cultural consciousness through the Internet Society is then delivered via journalistic and/or documentarian methods aiding a greater expanse of conceptual thought in earnest delivery of fact-driven storylines. In this context, we are the conveyors of advancement of thought, practice, and art in definition as authors and creators of the written word.

Moving toward these newer philosophical developments, where considerations of the worldview impart broader realizations, when performing the tasks of literal conveyance prove helpmeets to societal advancement. Understanding our message, developing a conscious worldview mindset, perhaps relinquishing our own "independent" regional belief systems exhibits a comprehension for the diversity of life on our planet. This comprehension can only provide the greater whole of the Internet Society with a balanced palate of fact driven presentations while performing as FEGs in this the Fourth Estate.
