To build the civic responsibility culture, we need to know our rights and duties as well as those of the State and the deep forces of human motivation. The best way to get this done would be to create a vast movement where the Government would finance the building of "human rights and duties enlightenment centers in as many towns as feasible. Then putting "incentives" in the world at large so that other Nations do the same. We should begin with France, given her human rights and duties history and her role in American liberation (from the Imperial British yoke).

In measure two of the Gubernatorial Action Plan's "justice" section, we covered this question. We cut-paste:

MEASURE  2: THE PROMOTION OF CIVIC “LIGHTHOUSE” CLINICS.  Legislation to promote civic and human rights light-house (or enlightenment) centers to be established first in each of our 39 counties and then, after a trial period, in each town  and enlivened with art, music, education on human rights and duties, equal access to justice and civil law training workshops, minorities rights seminars and everything else that will help Washingtonians to be free from  the chains of ignorance and predatory abuse.

Pending the construction of these centers, it is important to self-educate on the anti-tyranny and pro civic culture skills. To examine the Action Plan's measures in this field, from tools to ward off electoral fraud to tools which build skills to contribute in keeping the Government balanced, transparent, accountable and responsible.

The Action Plan's tools and measures to rebuild and fortify our Justice system is part of the civic culture and those 12 measures can be reviewed with a double mouse click here.

Another powerful tools for civic change is to organize Conventions for constitutional revisions in all of our 50 States as well as with the Federal Constitution. Click here for the Freedom Action Committee's Constitutional "clean-up" plan Declaration for this issue.

And click here for our project to build a Responsibility Statue, the crowning of our civic measures.

Meanwhile, for our basic rights to be long-lasting and decisive in the renewal of the Nation, the People need to benefit from the equal and affordable access to relevant knowledge in the following skills.

 

(a) Internationally recognized  human rights and duty law in conjunction with the basics of American civil rights law and a general 101 introduction to law.

(b) Science-based nutrition and toxic free lifestyle education (which includes introduction courses to some of the hard sciences like physics, biology and chemistry).

(c) Holistic healthcare techniques including psychological counseling.

(d) Sustainability and eco-development sciences, including, but not limited to the teaching of clean renewable energies, eco construction, alternative transportation systems and organic agriculture techniques.

(e) Basic computer and internet training, that which constitutes the cultural and education "equalizer" of modern times.

(f) Methodology on learning and research skills. There should be as much emphasis on left brain development as on right brain development, meaning art, creative imagination and intuitive knowledge should be balanced with critical thinking, verbal communication skills and achievement. The neo-cortex (the brain's front lobe) days are coming to an evolutionary end. We need to realize this. If we are to go with the flow of History.

(g) Meditation & breathing techniques,  holistic & health maintaining exercises, sun breaks, music and art classes.

 

A U.S ambassador to France, in the name of President Obama (if he wills it of course) can contribute by encouraging both the U.S and France to benefit from their research promotion and mutual experiences in these pedagogical fields and help their Peoples to ensure the satisfaction of their basic needs, that which would significantly reduce sickness, legal conflicts and social entropy in our communities while promoting development, (including, but not limited to financial stability), sustainability and the renewal of the American Republic and Peace among Nations.

As the UNESCO Constitution provides in its Preamble: "Peace beings in the minds of men". This ideal is central to any Republic worthy of legal existence and international recognition.

Franco and Euro American cultural and education cooperation in this field (like with the Erasmus European cultural exchange system) would contribute in bettering American Education and in ensuring a more meaningful access to higher education and relevant skills. And this goal would be in compliance with President Obama's agenda.

" Expand research initiatives at American colleges and universities. Provide new research grants to the most outstanding early-career researchers in the country (...) Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe federally funded scientific research should play an important role in advancing science and technology in the classroom and in the lab." (President Obama's agenda)

I am presently working on a concrete Franco-American Diplomatic plan of action to contribute in finding solutions to these challenges. Meanwhile, please see my gubernatorial efforts in this realm, notably via the following freedom: Freedom from ignorance, mis-education and alienation.
