1. Technology,
2. Economics,
3. Media or Information.
We can finds many examples of the three that is being the main aspects that made an entity superior and which made them inferior. We will see study cases for above aspects.
1. United States.
History noted, that US territory was initially an unattended territory, which was found by the great Britain sailor, Christopher Columbus. Being a country which inhabited by many people from many countries, US gets its grips of thought from many backgrounds, in science (Europe) and economics (Jews) and art (Europe ). World war II can be used as an indicator that the US will dominate the world with its technology (nuclear weapon), and also media (through an extensive propaganda methods develops). Why US manage to lead at the technology, its because US itself was using the Nazi's scientist which previously work for Hitler to develop the nuclear weapon. And since the war need a lot of supports from the citizens, and also people of the world, newspaper was used as a tools to delivered the propaganda in order to get support. After the war finished, US or even world economics was collapsed. This forced the US to mitigate a plan which made them to follow the concept of Adam Smith, economic growth through development in rill sector (housing, bridges, road, etc). Continuous improvements of the three above, made the US became as it now. We will discuss again about the effect of subprime mortage for US and its influence to the world at the next episodes.
2. Risen of Einstein Theory.
Hundreds of year peoples was set their mind in the Newton law as a reference to explain the behavior of matters when its act (the three Newtons Laws). But soon after the Einstein published his relativity law (which I called it "IT DEPENDs law"), people becomes enlighten and renew about his view against matter (intrinsically). Newton law is not able to describe the phenomena we observe in the universe, such as the perhelion advance of Mercury, or the bending of starlight near the limb of the sun.
Why Einstein able to explain that? It is because he was able to develop what so called "out of box" mindset, which made him able to explore and develop the science out of what people had thought about. This is the science development "inside" Einstein head. By working at German University (before the genocide), he was able to explore more information about the law, renew the information, check the information, analyze the information. This is the development of information. And after he stayed in US, he combined all the gathered technology/science and information he got to achieved the relativity law.
Why the economics related to all of this...well apparently, Einstein was bankrupt in financial, so by receiving money from his writing, seminar, he was able to deliver more writing, explore the science which eventually give him the relativity law.
3. Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
KFC was originally founded by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952. At the first of it work, KFC was only sells chicken in form of pieces, wraps, and sandwiches, while its primary focus is fried chicken. In technology development, KFC able to provide a quicker cooking of the chicken from iron skilled (30mnt) become pressurize fryer (which more faster then the previous one), and also types of products offered (just like what we seen now). To be able to develop its company, in financial, he have to share the cost to another parties (which is in this case he was Pete Harman, Utah), hence he was able to open the restaurant for the first time.
The media/information was spread among people in Utah, at the first stage, which made the KFC restaurant become famous in Utah, and made it available to build in another city, and even in another country, just like now.
We will see many examples for the three that rules an entity to develop or even collapse.
The conclusion is, if we want to know how the system, a company, a country, a group, or any entity develops, just look at the three factors. Find whether its developing inside the entity or not. And if not, well for my opinion, it can be guaranteed that the entity will be falls.
So what about our country, Indonesia, can you predict what is going to for tomorrow ???
But for the world itself or the universe, I can not answer. We should ask Lord Jesus.

ReplyDeleteBRAVO !!!
Indeed, a very interesting blog!
ReplyDeleteIMO, it is the media that is currently dominating Indonesia and perhaps in the future? What are other means to sway opinions/interest of >200 people other than through media? with all of those hidden agenda news/information out there, one really needs to filter the information received.
