March of the Evil Empires.

Ved | 27.05.2004 19:33

This article is from my book: Oh, Ye English, Beware the March of the Evil Empires.

This is a book containing a revolutionary idea about understanding society, human behaviour, history, anthropological features and many other aspects of human beings. The basic understanding that is being put forward is that languages, which are the software for human communication, are powerful media, which not only can help in communication, but also does contain extremely powerful designs and programmes, which literally design all societies. Languages are actually powerful machines that can create a definite and pre-definable pattern, along which all human beings arrange themselves, to form different societies.
Different type of languages form different type of societies; for example, a group of persons who think and talk in Tamil, would form a society, which would have remarkable Tamil features, and identifiable behaviour patterns. A group of persons who do the same thing in Spanish would display definite Spanish looks, demeanour, behaviour and social pattern and arrangement. An English speaking society would be having its own definite looks and, also a very easily identifiable interpersonal interaction configuration.

Implications of Space Research Collaborations: Another thing that America is doing with not understanding the full implications is the cooperation it is having with other nations, with feudal language social systems, in Space Research. If the American astronauts go for long sojourns in outer space with the astronauts from other such nations, there are deeper issues connected with the social climate that has to be understood. If the space journey partners are from India, China, Russia and other such nations, there will be different social parameters to be borne in mind. For the sake of debate, I may take the issue of American astronauts being in space with Russian cosmonauts (?). If the American astronaut is outnumbered, then, there really is a chance that the feudal language social atmosphere in the spaceship can really create a feeling of intense mental suffocation for the American person, and more so, if he has endeavoured to learn the Russian language. I am making this assertion from the premises that the Russian language could have feudal elements in its communication programme.
But the issue is a bit more complicated that than. For, in the step like hierarchical language social structure, certain Americans with a definite level of superiority in certain crucially fitting physical or intellectual factor may also find a cosy environment. For, their position or personality may have an alignment to fit into a specific grove in the social structure, which may give a positive halo to him or her. But for most others, the effect may be of a negative nature. And when a group of Americans move at close quarters with a group of Russians, the Americans, if they are outnumbered or dominated by the Russians, may split themselves to fit into the various groves of the feudal hierarchy of the Russian social communication. In all these situations, the American society would be the real loser. This negativity can be contained and bottled up, if the English nationals do take up the real superior position, and impose their own social communication systems on everyone. In which cases, most of the Russians would also feel liberated.
Also, it may be noted that if Russian language really does contain feudal elements, which I am, more or less, sure of, then the superior officials of the Russian Space Research Organisations could have a very hallowed personality, as compared to their juniors.
