56.3 Objectives This document outlines a plan to provide an information education and training program to:
56.3.1 To ensure we acquire the knowledge and skills needed to rapidly respond to major challenges, Inform, educate and promote cooperation, human rights, equality, democracy and peaceful resolution of disputes and conflicts and help implement the sustainable development goals, their targets and the Green New Deal

56.3.5 Informs and educates progressives and as many individuals as possible from the public and private sectors:
56.3.6 Describe Universal Strategic Plan For a Permanently Peaceful, Prosperous, Just, Sustainable World
56.3.7 How to get our public servants to act in the best interest of the people and accomplish comprehensive and lasting change and reform.
56.3.8 Do what George Lakoff, a cognitive scientist and a linguist, who “has been arguing over the past decade and a half that progressives need to build a communication system of their own to:
56.3.8.1 (1) express the values they really believe in,
56.3.8.2 (2) to communicate the truth,
56.3.8.3 (3) to use their own values-based language to show the moral significance of those truths, and
56.3.8.4 (4) avoid communicating conservative beliefs they do not hold, especially by
avoiding the language of conservatism. The article by Lakoff
reflects the failure of
progressives to do so.”
In addition to accomplishing the items Lakoff has outlined above, this system will:
56.3.9 Provide ways for individuals to ferret out meaningful information from the massive amounts of available information and be able to distinguish “spin” from truthful information without “censoring”.
56.3.10 Initially, information, education and training materials will be distributed and taught by/learned from YouTube, social websites, email, linked web sites, Wikipedia, , Facebook, Twitter, DVDs and public access TV. As soon as possible, improved ways to inform educate and train including advanced distributed learning methodologies and technologies including:
56.3.10.1 Online learning, e-learning, virtual classrooms, etc. will be refined and employed.
56.3.10.2 Concerns and challenges: the critical need for allying, change, education, reform and pragmatic solutions.

56.4.10 Patriotic Millionaires explanation of the ways privileged self-interests influence the country’s legislative process: Patriotic Millionaires plan to use their unique position to:
56.4.10.1 Expose the ways privileged self-interests influence the country’s legislative process.
56.4.10.2 Highlight specific policies that best serve the interests of the majority and that can promptly reverse growing levels of economic disparity.
56.4.10.3 Lessen the political influence for those whose sole credential is the ability to pay for it.
56.4.10.4 The Patriotic Millionaires’ strategy relies primarily on public education. They seek to use their unique position to expose the ways privileged self-interests influence the country’s legislative process. They also highlight specific policies that best serve the interests of the majority and that can promptly reverse growing levels of economic disparity.
56.4.10.5 Importance of cooperation over competition.
56.4.11 Framing, semantics, linguistics, communications, etc.
56.4.11.1 The purpose/objectives of this training is to show how others have misled the public by the way they “frame” information and how this can be countered honestly with proper framing. The information for this training will come from Wikipedia and from books such as:
56.4.11.1.1 “Tyranny of Words”, by Stuart Chase
56.4.11.1.2 “Science and Sanity”, by Alfred Korzybski
56.4.11.1.3 “Don’t Think of an Elephant”, by Professor George Lakoff, is the definitive handbook for understanding what happened in the 2004 election and communicating effectively about key issues facing America today and the antidote to the last forty years of conservative strategizing and the right wing's stranglehold on political dialogue in the United States. Author George Lakoff has become a key advisor to the Democratic party, helping them develop their message and frame the political debate.
56.4.11.1.3.1 In this book Lakoff explains how conservatives think, and how to counter their arguments. He outlines in detail the traditional American values that progressives hold, but are often unable to articulate. Lakoff also breaks down the ways in which conservatives have framed the issues, and provides examples of how progressives can frame the debate. Lakoff's years of research and work with environmental and political leaders have been distilled into this essential guide, which can be used to show progressive and moderate activists how to think in terms of values instead of programs, and why people vote their values and identities, often against their best interests.
56.4.11.1.3.2 For a comparison of “framing” as practiced by progressives and conservatives with regard to immigration please read the article “Framing Versus Spin” at http://www.rockridgeinstitute.org/research/lakoff/luntz
56.4.12 Human nature, character, ethics, values, principles, integrity, reasoning, accountability, cooperation, teamwork, common sense, courage, etc.
56.4.12.1 Common Sense
56.4.12.1.1
56.4.12.2 Adapt educational and other materials developed by other organizations, in particular the Department of Leadership, Ethics and Law at the Naval Academy the other service academies and the Center for Ethical Leadership at the Naval Academy for use in this part of this education program.
56.4.12.3 In general, for someone to improve his ethics or character, he needs to better understand human nature and want to change. Human nature, as defined here as what we are conceived with, cannot be changed, but we can and need to understand it better.
56.4.12.4 According to Alfred Adler:
The understanding of human nature is an enormous problem, whose solution has been the goal of our culture since time immemorial. It is not a science that should be pursued by a few specialists only. Its proper objective must be the understanding of human nature by every human being.
This program is intended to acquaint the general public with the fundamentals of Individual Psychology, demonstrate the practical application of certain principles to the conduct of our everyday relationships with the world and our fellow human beings, point out how the misguided behavior of the individual affects the harmony of our social and communal life; to teach individuals to recognize their own mistakes; and, to show them how to adjust harmoniously to their social environment. Mistakes in business and science are costly and deplorable, but mistakes in the way we live our lives may endanger life itself.
56.4.12.5 About the Beechers and the Beecher Foundation:
The late Willard and Marguerite Beecher had more than eighty years of combined professional experience as renowned Adlerian psychologists and authors. Primary concepts they taught included self-reliance - everyone standing on their own two feet, cooperation instead of competition and "common sense" is "sense of community." They viewed most behavioral problems as bad habits which could mostly be resolved with group therapy and did not see the need for deep psychological therapy. The foundation was established by the Beechers. The mission of the foundation includes keeping their four books in print for future generations.
The four books of Willard & Marguerite Beecher, which can be read online, are:
56.4.12.5.1 Beyond Success and Failure: Ways to self-reliance and maturity
56.4.12.5.2 The Sin of Obedience
56.4.12.5.3 The Mark of Cain: An Anatomy of Jealousy
