Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Model for Long-Term Stability, Not Disruption

Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Model for Long-Term Stability, Not Disruption In a world increasingly defined by political polarization, economic volatility, and social fragmentation, the question of how to create lasting stability is more urgent than ever. Traditional governance models—rooted in hierarchical control, coercion-based stability, and conflict suppression—have proven to be unsustainable in the longContinue reading “Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): A Model for Long-Term Stability, Not Disruption”

How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect

The social model of disability challenges the idea that disability is an inherent personal deficit. Instead, it argues that disability is created by society’s failure to accommodate diverse needs. This model contrasts with the medical model, which frames disability as an individual problem to be “fixed” or “treated.” Key Principles of the Social Model ofContinue reading “How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect”

Annotated Bibliography for Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)

Thesis Statement for Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP): The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) offers a transformative framework for understanding the interplay between societal structures and human behavior, proposing that conflict is not inherently destructive but a necessary and self-regulating mechanism that facilitates both societal stability and change. By bridging the gap between Functionalism and Conflict Theory,Continue reading “Annotated Bibliography for Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP)”

Restorative Systems Movement (RSM): A Unified Framework for Systemic Healing, Climate Justice, and Social Transformation

Restorative Systems Movement (RSM): A Unified Framework for Systemic Healing, Climate Justice, and Social Transformation The Restorative Systems Movement (RSM) integrates all my frameworks—Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), Disability-Inclusive Governance (DIGERA), Restorative Eco-Activism, Spiral City Models, and Trauma-Informed Systems Change—into a single activist movement. This movement envisions a world where systemic transformation is rooted in healing,Continue reading “Restorative Systems Movement (RSM): A Unified Framework for Systemic Healing, Climate Justice, and Social Transformation”

Eco-Activism as a Form of Restorative Cohesion

The Gaia Hypothesis, which proposes that the Earth functions much as our bodies do to maintain homeostasis, was formulated in the mid-1960s, by James Lovelock, an atmospheric scientist, and Lynn Margulis, a microbiologist.  This theory was startling to some as it suggests the idea that the Earth is a single, living entity; that she isContinue reading “Eco-Activism as a Form of Restorative Cohesion”

From Fragmentation to Wholeness: A New Way to Live, Love, and Build Together

From Fragmentation to Wholeness: A New Way to Live, Love, and Build Together I used to believe that healing was an individual journey—something I had to figure out on my own, like assembling a puzzle with missing pieces. But the more I studied attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and the ways trauma embeds itself intoContinue reading “From Fragmentation to Wholeness: A New Way to Live, Love, and Build Together”

Implementation Strategies for Real-World Adaptation of the Spiral City Model

Implementation Strategies for Real-World Adaptation of the Spiral City Model To transition from concept to reality, the Spiral City model must be implemented in phases, ensuring systemic transformation without triggering resistance from existing structures. The following strategies outline how this model can be introduced at local, national, and global levels. I. Local Implementation: Micro-Level CommunityContinue reading “Implementation Strategies for Real-World Adaptation of the Spiral City Model”

Write about your dream home.

Write about your dream home. My Dream Home: A Vision of Sustainable, Community-Driven Living My dream home is not just a personal dwelling—it is a living system, fully integrated with nature, human connection, and regenerative sustainability. Inspired by Fibonacci-inspired architectural design, biophilic living principles, and the Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), this home reflects the intersectionContinue reading “Write about your dream home.”

Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)

We’ll systematically examine how FCP and MIT transition from theory to practice at individual, group, institutional, and societal levels. — 1A: Can FCP & MIT Function at Different Scales? 1. Individual Level (Personal Growth, Therapy, Self-Regulation) ✅ Strengths: FCP integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Polyvagal Theory, making it useful for self-healing, nervous system regulation,Continue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) & Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)”

Scalability & Implementation of Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG)

We’ll systematically apply the five-step framework to Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG) to ensure its scalability, resistance to misuse, and practical implementation. — Step 1: Scalability & Implementation of Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG) Key Questions: 1. Can TIG function at different levels (local, national, global)? 2. What infrastructure (physical, economic, social) is required to implement it? 3. HowContinue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Trauma-Informed Governance (TIG)”
