First the government needs a building to do their important government stuff.  Then they call for architects to submit bids.  Architects want to submit distinctive designs because they know that government officials are impressed.  The design can be any shape, as long as it feeds the egos of government officials.  The UN could have been a cube, but they chose the globe because it was more expensive.  Finally, it's considered clever if the design of the building symbolizes something, so then they have to come up with something clever that a globe stands for.  This is where you come in.  Come up with a cool idea for why the globe was chosen, because government officials need to have a reason other than the globe was the most expensive design and they couldn't help themselves for choosing the most expensive.

Because it needs to give a visual impression of embracing the whole world. It's the globe itself.

What do you think about the visual version of neurolinguistic programming(subliminal messaging) like the picture below.

Home! belonging to humanity...who lives on it and and there is nowhere to go(escape)and no another place...''for now''. and then there mustn't be boundaries across the countries...it's coming...just we're living the historical transition, even if it's a little bloody...Planet earth...Home... It sounds good.

Can i ask a question please? Globalizm and internationalizm, What is the difference except using them as synonym? Can we prefer one to another everywhere?

By the way. Turkey can't still a member of EU. This is an issue for years since i was a child, furthermore, since my parents were childs...alas! When i was i child, I supposed that to go to europe was a ''visa'' problem...No It's a money problem : ) )

Globalism implies a hegemon.  Internationalism is more collegial between countries.  This applies to the EU ... they tried to build it as internationalism, and prevent the natural dominance of Germany (location, population, economy etc).  But since the Cyprus and Greek crises ... German hegemony has come out of the wood work.  This is the reason for Brexit ... that and the EU parliament has no teeth, and the EU commission is a French unelected bureaucratic nightmare.

How is the UN building a globe anyway? Is there a globe formed structure in the General Assembly room? Looks like an oval to me.....

The natural dominance of Germany?...must be a joke...after WW2...Germany was wreck and conquered. Furthermore; The German man supply decreased dramatically after WW2 that they had to import man power to work for heavy industry...Some kind of colonization...Turks, Marocans vs..to change the social structure, society engineering...Of course there are someones to manage these politics.


edit: WooW, They created a ''new'' word ''Brexit''... That is, Mankind can ''create'', too... : ) to build their world of concepts... We can only think by the way of words, not beyond them. May this be concerned with NewSpeak?

Not Hitler's Germany, the Kaiser's.  Non-Germans have feared German strategic superiority since 1871.  The Kaiser's Germany was open to outsiders and allied with Turkey.  British policy is always to prevent dominance By any one party; France, Germany or Russia.

There is a theory that tells vast degree of white european died at the war WWW1 and 2...There must be a justice...Justice must be on earth.. now whose turn came? Midde-east...at least, The justice is coming on earth...maybe...will come after life...heh he.

Baruch

I wouldn't call war justice .. it is tragedy.  Both sides are at fault for war, the victors fool themselves that they are righteous.

Using a globe as a shape does not refer to 'neuro linguistic programming' or 'subliminal message'. It's put there because it is the 'shape' of our planet. The principle is the same with advertising and tv commercials; using symbols, shapes and colours. Blue invokes trust, red invokes attention; stop...etc.


'Neuro linguistic programming' and 'subliminal message' are completely different things.

- Neuro linguistic programming is a psychotheraphy method invented by an American author in 70s. It is pseudoscience, it is bullshit. Exactly like self help books, methods, self coaching, group coaching. It doesn't mean shit but there are companies and individuals making shitload of money from it ESP. because these 'services' are today bought by big companies and they are used for reducing taxes under the name of improvement of productivity and relations in work place. OR lerning language and new skills.

It's pretty much the same thing with 'angel caoching' and 'quantum healing'. It is bullshit invented to gauge money from people. It's bollocks.


- Subliminal messaging is a phenomenon observed under MRI studies which involves the lightening up certain areas in the brain as a response to certain images by the recipient without being unaware. While it is not studied enough, the current understanding is that for a 'subliminal message' to be successful the individual is required to have the tendency to perform an act or be in a ready situation to response to the message before being subjected to it.

Frankly, if you are not familiar to the context message delivers, you don't recieve it.

Which infact works on the general principle of the standard idea of selective perception. If the person does not have any memory, idea, desire, trauma...any information positive or negative already concieved before the message, message blows off and NO it doesn't get 'planted' in his/her brain.

While the conspiracy theories and fear about subliminal messages being sent to mass of people is completely bullshit, yes watching tv, following mainstream media and mass communication, living in social media will make anyone stupid, because being subsrcibed to the series of pespectives produced by 9 corporates directing the considerable amount of the world's wealth is like living in a 6000 year old earth with dinosaurus. You are swimming in a toxic, infected pool and no fresh water is pouring in.

But no we are not in danger of either NLP, nor subliminal messages flowing secretly around posessing our brains and make us do shit. Humans do not need any special effort to be manipulated.

Turkey's EU membership is a two sided sham deal operation. But I don't get its relevance to the topic.
