The proceeding are the temporal notions and identifications that provide an increasingly tangible construct for the ACE Plan.
B. GenerationsWithin the past half a century or so, many scholars and pundits provide terms to describe certain generations of society. These terms are applied to a specific collective of people, each of whom is born with the same general period of time of about 25 – 30 years. These generations are effectively identified with a specific, salient event or course of events that occurs within the lifetime of that generation and that substantially influences the circumstances of that generation, and thus the perceived, general temporal characteristics, responsibilities, and purpose of that respective generation. It may also be considered that there are three waves, of approximately one decade each, within each generation. For the purposes of the ACE Plan, we identify five specific generations:
The United Nations Generation.The United Nations Generation is the generation of adults who directly experience the effects of the economic depression and the second World war. With the guidance of Faith, history, and elders, the United Nations Generation is responsible for establishing the United Nations and facilitates the reconstruction and decolonisation of World society after the second World war. At the time of the specific initiation of the ACE Plan, many individuals of the United Nations Generation are already passed from this life. In this respect, we dutifully listen to the words of those individuals of the United Nations Generation who continue to share life with us; and we continue to heed the teachings and examples that the entirety of the United Nations Generation provides to us.
The Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation.
The Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation emerges approximately at the close of the second World war and at the commencement of the United Nations. Individuals of the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation are the direct children of the United Nations Generation. Generally, the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation is raised within circumstances of increased economic prosperity, educational provisions, and comfort. As the individuals of the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation reach the age of youthful adulthood, many become increasingly cognisant of respective cultures and religious traditions from throughout the World, and become increasingly intolerant of imperialistic tendencies within industrialised nations. Within the aggregate of the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation, much of this youthful proclamation beyond industrial imperialism subsides with the pragmatism of adulthood, the advancements of technology, and the economic gains provided by such pragmatism and technology. At the time of the specific initiation of the ACE Plan, the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation occupies the predominant positions and titles of conventional authority within the many respective institutions (religious congregations, monarchies, governments, militaries, commercial organisations, and additionally). Also during this time, a gradual transition of authority is being made from the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation to the X Generation whilst many individuals of the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation prepare for retirement.
The X Generation.The individuals of the X Generation are the direct children of the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation. The X Generation is born during the time of the awakening of consciousness of the Baby Boomer Flower Child Generation towards the respective religions and cultures of the World. This awakening of consciousness is also pragmatically accentuated through the advancements of legal decisions and precedents that facilitate and encourage interreligious, intercultural, interethnic, interracial, international, interlingual, and intercaste understanding and cooperation. However, much of the formative stages of the progression of the X Generation are maintained within a context of the economic and technological advancements that are made through industrial competition. In this respect, individuals within the X Generation are substantially exposed to, and influenced by, many different forms of communication, including television, radio, video games, telephones, cable and wire services, satellites, cellular services, and the internet. This exposure and influence are also augmented through the electronic devices that are made available to the X Generation: personal computers, video cassette recorders, walkmans, cellular telephones, laptop computers, and additionally. Much of this technology is substantially introduced and distributed as a means of programming and influencing the consumption and occupational behaviour of individuals within the X Generation. Yet, through the increased availability of information and the gradual formal and experiential training of individuals within the X Generation, there is an enhanced an increasingly level understanding of the conventional systems of society so that the continuing progression of technological and social advances are perpetuated within an increasingly equitable socioeconomic platform. At the time of the specific initiation of this ACE Plan, the X Generation is aggregately progressing through adulthood, respectively becoming wedded, respectively bearing children and raising families, and collectively reconciling the difficulties of maintaining an awakened conscious to the respective religious and cultural traditions of the World, whilst adhering to the immediate and pragmatic necessities of living and maintaining a family, and whilst receiving an increased amount of authority and responsibility for the temporal endeavours of the World.
The We Generation.The We Generation is the most recent generation to be temporally established at the time of the specific initiation of the ACE Plan. The individuals of the We Generation are the children of the X Generation. The We Generation is specifically described as the group of children whose earliest memories are those that are contextualised by the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon within the United States of America Taínoterranea as well as the reaction of the World after these attacks. The individuals within this first wave of the We Generation are now respectively reaching the age of puberty and are being prepared for secondary education as well as postsecondary education, postsecondary occupation, and/or additional endeavours. Within the vision of the ACE Plan, the We Generation inherits the conventional authority of the many respective institutions of the World from the X Generation at the general time of the 100th year anniversary of the United Nations.
The Centennial Inheritance Generation.
The individuals of the Centennial Inheritance Generation are the children of the We Generation, and are the most youthful individuals within humanity at the time of the 100th year anniversary of the United Nations, الا عنش, חאשם באר, ॐ; Ensh’Allah, Bar Hashem, God Willing, Om.
The ACE Plan is a direct, intergenerational cooperative effort specifically between the X Generation and the We Generation. Obviously, this plan requires effective cooperation from each generation; however, the pragmatic implementation of the specific programmes and initiatives within this ACE Plan are predicated upon three substantial factors:
1.) the awakened consciousness, and the intrinsic reliance upon such, that is specifically experienced since the emergence of the X Generation;
2.) the intrinsic, anticipated, and necessary direct cooperation between the X Generation and the We Generation within the few decades proceeding from the specific initiation of the ACE Plan; and,
3.) the innate ability to innovatively proceed through conventional systems of education, and the respective curricula and programming therein, to effectively perceive the fundamental, temporal dilemmas experienced within humanity and the means through which to effectively alleviate these fundamental, temporal dilemmas towards the actualisation of the ACE Plan.
Admittedly, the very premise of such generational identifications may be considered a biased industrial presumption, particularly when considering the generational time spans generally maintained within agricultural societies and when also considering that the salient events upon which these generational identifications are generally predicated upon pertain to the general experience of certain industrial societies. However, amidst these acknowledged biases, these generational identifications provide an appropriate framework through which to perceive the temporal transition of authority throughout the general framework of time amidst this ACE Plan. In addition, as can be increasingly perceived through proceeding explanation within this ACE Plan, there is a certain appropriateness in maintaining an admittedly industrialised bias with specific respect to generational identification because of the intrinsic international responsibility and experience that is maintained within industrial societies (whilst the respective responsibilities of agricultural societies are comparatively insular).
