Arts
Art plays a critical role in conveying the depths of human experience and often serves as a communication outlet for oppressed people to express their realities when it may not be safe to convey in words.
Economics
Our research indicates that our economic system serves as a tool for consolidating power into the same few people’s hands. Centralized banking, fractional reserve and a hidden public private partnership between the bankers, government and corporations keep this disparity in place. There are strategic and practical actions we can take to obsolete the current system and create economies that serve the needs of all people.
Education
American education is failing. Corporations fund University research and therefore influence curriculum, while state elementary and high schools promote obedience above critical thinking. We promote creating independent schools that meet the needs of individual learning styles and passions, and which inspire the thinking, discipline and creativity we need to crate real solutions to our many problems.
Environment
Environmental restoration and eco management require coordinated efforts that include economic, justice and infrastructure considerations. THRIVE’s whole systems analysis offers an approach that makes this possible.
Governance
Until there is campaign finance reform, governments cannot be held accountable by the citizens who elect them. Currently legislation is determined by corporate lobbying. Between that and earmarks, we have a corrupt and unresponsive government. We can change this.
Health
Our health care system is based on a model that profits from sickness. Pharmaceutical companies control the funding of the AMA and the FDA and are often run by the same people who preside over these research and regulating bodies. This intrinsic conflict of interest results in sicker people and a limit on cures that can’t be patented. To find out how to create a holistic health care system that rewards doctors for the health and healing of their patients…
Infrastructure
Throughout the world people lack access to clean water, electricity, sanitary waste disposal, and good transportation systems. Fortunately, modern technology and infrastructural development has the ability to meet the needs of everyone. It will require a shift from a fossil-fuel based economy to one of renewable energy and a transition from a…
Justice
Our current justice system is largely influenced by a for-profit prison industrial complex that benefits from crime and is based on retribution rather than restoration. It doesn’t have to be this way. To find out about using the law to protect individual rights and the commons we all share…
Media
As owners of the public airwaves, American citizens have the opportunity to make the media accurately reflect their needs. THRIVE has a 3-staged approach to solutions that you can learn more about it in the Solutions section.
Science
What is possible for humanity is often prescribed by scientific perception. Is it possible for technology to mimic nature’s own evolutionary design and produce technology that transcends current scientific thinking? We believe that it is not only possible, but that it has been done.
