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”
How the Meta-Framework Operates: A Brief Overview
How the Meta-Framework Operates: A Brief Overview My meta-framework functions as a self-regulating, trauma-informed, and regenerative system that integrates governance, economics, environmental justice, and social cohesion. It mirrors the Gaia Hypothesis by ensuring that all systems—political, economic, and social—operate in adaptive, non-coercive, and relationally balanced ways. 1. Governance Mirrors Gaia’s Self-Regulation Decentralized, participatory governance replacesContinue reading “How the Meta-Framework Operates: A Brief Overview”
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”
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)”
Scalability & Implementation of Fibonacci-Inspired Spiral Cities
Scalability & Implementation of Fibonacci-Inspired Spiral Cities The first step is to evaluate whether Spiral Cities are scalable and practical, ensuring they can function at local, national, and global levels without disrupting existing infrastructures. Key Questions: 1. Can Spiral Cities function at different scales (local, regional, national, global)? 2. What infrastructure (physical, economic, social) isContinue reading “Scalability & Implementation of Fibonacci-Inspired Spiral Cities”
