This document discusses the virtue of service and its importance in society. It makes three key points:
1) Service is an important virtue that helps build strong communities through mutual helpfulness and cooperation. It connects individual spiritual development to social welfare.
2) Many philosophies and traditions, like Confucianism and Daoism, emphasize the role of service in developing both individuals and society in a balanced way.
3) Modern communities should support service by providing institutional structures that allow individuals to both give and receive help from others. Strong communities are built on service.
The Youth as Agents of Behavioral Change (YABC) initiative aims to empower youth to inspire positive transformations and build a culture of non-violence through peer education. It uses experiential learning methods to develop interpersonal skills. Over 1,500 youth from 140 Red Cross societies have been trained, producing positive individual changes and community programs in areas like development, health, and disaster response. YABC has been recognized within the Red Cross Movement and externally through UN and other partnerships. Support is needed to expand its toolkit translations, workshops, projects and capacity building.
What does religion mean? What's its purpose?emekoo
Religion is defined as a set of beliefs and practices connected to supernatural powers that provide followers with a deep spiritual experience. Its purpose is to help followers understand the meaning of life and answer fundamental questions about the origin of the world, what happens after death, human existence, and whether life continues beyond death.

This document discusses how traditional Māori performing arts help sustain the tribal identity of Tūhoe. It presents a framework showing three phases of sustaining tribal identity - reflection, reclamation, and revision on an individual level and māramatanga, mātauranga, and mōhiotanga on a collective level. The research involved interviews and focus groups with Tūhoe people to understand how their biannual cultural gathering Te Hui Ahurei ā Tūhoe transmits Tūhoe epistemology and sustains tribal identity. The performing arts are found to bring people together and reaffirm what it means to be Māori-Tūhoe.
1) Change is constant and occurs between the dots, while leaders connect the dots by anticipating change and influencing circumstances.
2) Effective leadership is virtuous by having integrity, courage, flexibility, talent and prudence to face reality, deal with change, and discern wise actions.
3) Leaders shape culture and use power to influence behavior in a way that encourages thinking and learning through relationships to acquire knowledge and modify to new insights.

The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering blood pressure, reducing muscle tension, and decreasing levels of stress hormones. Meditation has also been shown to improve focus and concentration while boosting mood.
This document discusses the maturation of cities and humanity. It argues that cities are evolving to become nodes in a global infrastructure and support system for a world civilization. While technological developments have enabled greater global connectivity, our social, institutional and moral development has not kept pace. There is a need to foster balanced inner development and outer cooperation between cities and nations to close this gap and advance humanity to a new stage of global community and shared prosperity.

Themes like “Pathway of Service”, “Twofold Moral Purpose”, “Constructive and Destructive Forces of Society”, “Educating Younger Generations”, etc. provide compelling launch pads for rich, meaningful conversations with both youth and adults.
This document discusses the role and meaning of education according to various thinkers like Gandhi, Kneller, Radhakrishnan, and Aurobindo. It outlines that education should achieve the full development of an individual's body, mind and spirit while also developing their sense of responsibility towards society. The aims of education are both individual development as well as social and national development. It should enable social transformation while also modernizing society and integrating Indian cultural values with technical skills. Community participation is also seen as important for education.
This document defines culture and society and discusses key aspects of culture from a social systems perspective. It notes that culture is a group phenomenon that evolves through the interactions of individuals with others and the externalization of beliefs and behaviors. A culture encompasses the manners, morals, tools and techniques that bind a society together. It also explores concepts like the family as a human universal, language and communication, territoriality, social roles and organizations, child rearing practices, and how cultures develop ways of caring and explaining the world.
The document outlines 7 cultures that Caritas Manila seeks to develop in order to fulfill its mission as the pastoral arm of the Church. This includes: developing relationships based on human dignity; strengthening lay spirituality through Eucharistic celebration and prayer; forming well-integrated personnel and leaders; serving without boundaries; advancing pastoral creativity and social entrepreneurship; and expanding church communities where each is an experience of Christ's compassion. The overall goal is to respond to the socio-economic needs of the poor by addressing both immediate needs and the root causes of those needs.
Spiral dynamics and the art of thinkingFrances Kazan
This document discusses how consciousness and human perspectives are constantly shifting and evolving. It introduces the concept of levels of consciousness, with people operating from different levels or worldviews that influence how they think and make decisions. Spiral Dynamics is presented as a model that maps these evolving levels of consciousness as an individual's values and beliefs progress through different stages of complexity. The document suggests that training emotional intelligence can allow more people to achieve higher levels of consciousness associated with uncommon thinkers and visionary leaders who approach problems creatively. It promotes understanding different levels of consciousness to navigate today's complex world and invites the reader to learn more about Spiral Dynamics through an upcoming seminar.
The document proposes forming a voluntary society called ONE to work towards building a united, strife-free Earth. It outlines steps for ONE to coordinate with existing organizations, inform governments and citizens, and establish local chapters to alleviate suffering and promote spiritual upliftment through non-sectarian teachings. The goal is for individuals to move beyond ego and work selflessly for human good, ensuring all people's basic needs are met on a sustainable planet.

Religion and Sustainable Development in ChinaJoe Carter
This paper focuses on the spiritual challenges threatening China’s social sustainability and the need for a modern belief system. These challenges have come to light through the recent decades of emphasis on material development, and from China’s integration into a rapidly globalizing world.
Some Social Aspects of Sustainability 2015 01 16Joe Carter
This document discusses some social aspects of sustainability. It begins by noting that while sustainability is often discussed in terms of architecture, planning, construction, and tourism, it also has important social dimensions that are sometimes overlooked. These include socio-economic and equity considerations.
It then discusses criteria for sustainable development in both outer and inner cities, including mixed-use development, public transportation, green infrastructure, net zero energy/water communities, and agriculture integrated into outer city communities. For inner cities, it lists ongoing capacity building, empowered individuals and communities working together, and institutions that enable meaningful participation.

Chinese & islamic contributions to global civilization enJoe Carter
The document discusses the contributions of Chinese and Islamic civilizations to global development. It notes that China was a leader in many fields, including agriculture, astronomy, engineering, and medicine, until around 1200 AD. Many key inventions originated in China and spread to other parts of the world through trade and the translation of knowledge, facilitated by Islam. The document discusses several important figures, including Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqās, one of the earliest converts to Islam who led an envoy to China in 651 AD and is buried there. It outlines the transmission of knowledge from China to Europe over centuries and the role of the Islamic Golden Age from 750-1258 AD in advancing knowledge in many fields.
City Structure and the Shape of Community 2018 12 08Joe Carter
An exploration of East-West urban spatial order and the transition in China from an extended family compound (the courtyard house) to a multi-family self-administered compound (modern housing estate); from an extended family community to an urban residential community.:
The courtyard is a deep-seated Eastern pattern, that is persisting and re-appearing - at a larger scale and higher density - in the residential compounds that are the basic building blocks of China’s recent urban explosion. The social scale has also expanded. The courtyard house was originally designed for the extended family; the new residential compound courtyards are for a neighbourhood, an emerging and increasingly self-managed urban territory and social unit.
China Resources and Potentialities:
An Exploration of a statement attributed to Abdul-Baha, the son of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith:
“China has the most great capability. The Chinese people are most simple-hearted and truth-seeking…Truly, I say, the Chinese are free from any deceit and hypocrisies and are prompted with ideal motives. China is the country of the future."
And another statement by Shoghi Effendi, the grandson of Abdu'l-Baha:
“China, a land which has its own world and civilization, whose people (in 1923) constitute one-fourth of the population of the globe, which ranks foremost among all nations
in material, cultural, and spiritual resources and potentialities, and whose future is assuredly bright."
The Baha’i Mashriqu’l-Adhkar, Precedents, and Urban Planning ImplicationsJoe Carter
An introduction to the Baha’i Mashriqu’l-Adhkar, an institution designed by Baha'u'llah, the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, as a collective center of society. It is composed of educational, scientific, cultural and humanitarian centers, as well as administrative offices, clustered around a central temple. The design sets up symbiotic relationships between its component parts and allows spiritual energy to be translated into acts of service. Some historical precedents are presented, followed by a tentative exploration of the implications of this institution for future urban planning.
The Chinese Way of Building Cities: City Structure and the Shape of CommunityJoe Carter
This document summarizes a lecture given at Tianjin University on the Chinese way of building cities. It discusses research done at McGill University comparing urban structure in Beijing and Montreal at the scale of one square kilometer. The research looks at density, land use, street networks, and block sizes. In Beijing, land is divided into large mixed-use residential compounds, while Montreal has lower densities and more separation of uses. The lecture explores how these differences shape urban form and community life.
Beijing China Courtyard House 2017 02 22Joe Carter
The Chinese Courtyard House
Joe Carter, a graduate of the School of Architecture, McGill (1972) lived in China (mostly in Beijing) for thirty years (1985-2015). This presentation is in five parts, and discusses the Chinese courtyard house primarily in the context of Beijing.
Part 1 is a brief introduction at the typology and construction of the courtyard house.
Part 2 introduces some of the cultural, cosmological underpinnings of the Chinese courtyard house and its city setting.
Part 3 looks at the above patterns as an urban spatial order.
Part 4 describes some of the efforts at preservation and regeneration in old Beijing.
Part 5 proposes that the courtyard is a deep-seated Eastern pattern, that is persisting and re-appearing - at a larger scale and higher density - in the residential compounds that are the basic building blocks of China’s recent urban explosion. The courtyard house was originally designed for the extended family; the new residential compound courtyards are for the neighbourhood, an emerging and increasingly self-managed urban territory and social unit.

The Regeneration of Old Residential Districts in Beijing (in Chinese)Joe Carter
A Ph.D. thesis written in 1992, in Chinese, by He Hong Yu about the regeneration of hutong residential areas of the old city of Beijing. Although she was trained as an architect, the author's treatment of the topic is comprehensive, and spans not only planning and design issues, but social, economic and administrative factors as well.
The next logical step in our social evolution from family, to tribe, to city, to nation, is a world commonwealth of nations. Consciously or unconsciously, humanity has been engaged in an endeavour to create this world community.
Globalization is a sign that we are entering our long-awaited
stage of maturity. We are arriving at what has been variously called the New World Order, the Omega Point, the Global Village, Tian Xia Yi Jia (All Under Heaven One Family), the Grand Synthesis, the Kingdom of God on Earth, and so on;
It is no longer just a dream; the survival of the human race, in
fact, depends on constructing this New World Order.
If China is rich in material, cultural, and spiritual resources and potentialities; then it is important to understand China's maturation process and potential contributions as we face the challenges of the adult stage of our collective life. This book contains my thoughts, and references to those of others, collected so far, exploring this theme.
A picture emerges; the more the definition of modernization
and prosperity includes spiritual development - as well as material - the more the collective endeavour humanity faces seems feasible, and the more apparent will China's potential contributions be.
This paper (in Chinese) focuses on the spiritual challenges threatening China’s social sustainability and the need for a modern belief system. These challenges have come to light through the recent decades of emphasis on material development, and from China’s integration into a rapidly globalizing world.

This small book is the result of a two week exercise to introduce students to the richness and depth of thought contained in the Dao De Jing, the primary text of Daoism. This small volume is said to contain, by some scholars, the cultural genes of China. The students were invited to a select a few passages that interested them and then express their understandings in a non-verbal form. The understanding thus gained were applied to the assignment for the remainder of the term, the design of a Daoist Learning Center in the hills north of Beijing, near the Great Wall.

ONE SQ. KM. / SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
This book records the exploration by our seminar group at McGill University School of Architecture: Course Arch 540, Selected Topics, Winter Term, 2015.
We studied aspects of social sustainability and how they might impact physical planning and design. In particular, we looked at the question of civic and community centers as nodes and support for community life.
This book is a loose collection of parts: a compilation, research papers, preliminary efforts at a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) design, and notes of discussions. It’s a record that students, and others, could use in future research. We recommend reading it in conjunction with last term’s book, “One Sq. KM: A comparative Study Using Sustainability Criteria”. Joe Carter
Twelve proposals for a Daoist Learning Center for a site just north of the Great Wall were designed by students in a design class at the McGill University School of Architecture in the Winter Term of 2015. This slide show contains selections from their work. The class was led by Joe Carter and He Hong Yu, architects from Beijing, China. The results of an exercise to immerse ourselves in the Daoist text, the Dao De Jing, can be seen in "Daoist Learning Center (1)".
China's sacred literature provides guidance for social development and achieving the Great Unity.
The literature describes the goal of the Great Unity as a world of universal harmony, fairness, and shared prosperity. It advocates cultivating virtue and selecting leaders based on talent and ability.
The Great Learning outlines the path to achieve social transformation through individual self-cultivation and investigation of reality starting from the self and expanding to family, society, and the world. It emphasizes developing one's character through education and participating in positive social change.
China's traditional vision sees development as a reciprocal process between bettering oneself and helping others, with individual cultivation necessary to transform society for the benefit of all.
China’s sacred literature is an important part of humanity’s collective spiritual heritage. In a world “weary for want of a pattern of life to which to aspire” , it is a valuable source of insights into the urgent needs of our day, not only for China but for the rest of the world as well.
A presentation in two parts: First, a few images of the search since the 1950s for a modern Chinese architectural identity, and, second, examples of work by contemporary Chinese architects.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

5. The virtue of service is a quality or attribute of an individual, but
the action of service is directed toward others.
In fact, all of the virtues are expressed in the context of the people
around us. I love others, I am compassionate with others, I am patient
with others, I am united with others, etc.
I can not develop my virtues unless I live with and interact with
my family and community.
I can not grow in isolation.
If each virtue is different, what is special about service?
With service I am the protagonist;
I initiate activities that are of benefit to others;
I respond with helpful, useful action
to the needs of the family and community around me.

development of the nation and the
well-being of society begins with the
spiritual health of the individual.
一国之和平发展和,社会之福祉,从个人的心灵健康开始
(修身、齐家、治国、平天下)。
Confucius 551- 459 BC
16. “… 除非一个民族的道德品格,还有其头脑和天资都得到教育,

18. The goal of balanced “inner” and “outer”
development is very old in China.
The Confucian definition of the goal of development
is for the individual to acquire virtues.
19. 儒家 (Da Xue)
下文摘自广为人知的儒家四书中的《大学》,它是孔子教义的“概要”。千百年来
,
学童都会背诵它,其主旨已深深地根植于中国的文化中。
简言之,它主张发展的目标应当是昭明美德;其方法包括规范,培养,纠正和调查
;
此过程将国家内政生活与实现和平发展,将社会福祉与个人精神健康联系了起来。
“ 自天子以至于庶人,壹是皆以修身为本。其本乱而末治者否矣,其所厚者薄,
而其所薄者厚,未之有也!”(《大学》)
个人对真理实情的调查(格物)乃是内在与外在的平衡所依靠的支点。
Briefly, it states that the goal of development is:
to illustrate virtue: to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence.
The methods include:
self-regulation, cultivation, rectification, and investigation
The process relates the accomplishment of peaceful development with the internal life of the
nation; the well-being of society to the spiritual health of the individual.
20. 在中国,人们很久以为就认为个人的内在修养与社会的福祉有着密切的关系。
例如在中国的儒家孔子著《大学》中,我们就理解到了这一点。

24. 欲修其身者 ;
Wishing to cultivate their persons,
先正其心
they first rectified their hearts (honest with themselves)
25. 欲正其心者
Wishing to rectify their hearts, (wishing to be honest with themselves )
先诚其意
they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts.
26. 欲诚其意者,先致其知,
Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge.
先致其知,致知在格物。物格而后知至
Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things.
Things being investigated, knowledge became complete.
31. 家齐而后国治,国治而后天下平
Their families being regulated, their States were rightly governed.
Their States being rightly governed, the whole empire was made tranquil and happy.
32. The virtue of service also appears in Daoism
"The sage does not hoard,
The more he does for others,
The more he has himself.
The more he gives,
The more he gets.
聖人不積,既以為人己愈有,既以與人己愈多 ;
( 圣人不为自己积攒什么:既然一切都是为了世人,自己就愈发拥有了;
既然一切都已给了世人,自己就愈发丰富了 .)
Lao Zi, Dao De Jing, ch. 81
老子《道德经》 节 81
Spiritual Heritages
33. The purpose of education, then, is
to develop capacity in the individual
to pursue, independently, the twin goals of
development of self and
development of the community and society around them.
Acquiring the attitude and virtue of service makes these twin goals,
not contradictory, but
complementary and mutually reinforcing.
Both material and spiritual education are essential for development.
34. 物质 精神
发展的新定义
究其实质,发展过程最终关涉个人和由社会成员所创立的社 会结构的转型。

Where can we practice virtues and offer service? Without people around us, we
cannot develop virtues. The people around us are: our family, our community, our
district, our country, our planet.

A sign of a strong community is one where there is mutual helpfulness and
cooperation; one in which there is institutional support for the offering and the
receiving of service from individuals.
38. 社区的新定义
一个成熟和谐的社区定义为:
“ 文明的综合单位,由个人家庭和机构组成
是对体制、部门和组织的发起者和激励者、
机构和组织等为一个共同的目标、
为内部和外部的福祉而协同运作的个人、
家庭和机构组成;由多样化的、彼此互动的、
在为灵性和社会进步而不懈追求中实现团结的参与者组成。
A New Definition of COMMUNITY
We can define a mature harmonious community as….
“a comprehensive unit of civilization
composed of individuals, families and institutions
that are originators and encouragers of
systems, agencies and organizations
working together with a common purpose
for the welfare of people both within and beyond its borders;
it is a composition of diverse, interacting participants
that are achieving unity
in an unremitting quest for spiritual and social progress.”
The Universal House of Justice, The Four Year Plan, pp.34-35 世界正义院《四年计划》 34-35
39. When she was in high school in Canada, Linda participated in community service at a
senior citizens home for people with Alzheimer’s Disease. She wanted to help them so she
did some research about Alzhiemer’s and diet. Her work won first prize in a national student
Science Fair. She decided to become a doctor so she could continue her work of service.
Through community service she found strong motivation, a reason, for studying very hard.
40. Hillary Clinton wrote a book about the
