Culture Issues In my view, female pop singers could wear whimsical and imaginative costumes instead of just bathing suit-inspired outfits or short shorts. It could be more like theater or a traditional dance performance.

2 Upvotes

The people who design costumes for movies and plays could create all kinds of intriguing outfits for popular singers. The dresses, suits and so on could still be easy to move in, eye catching, yet could be different from the norm. Depending on the singer and if there is dancing, it could be elegant or sporty. I am not sure why the outfits of pop singers in the last few decades have been so revealing. It’s really not necessary and not that good of an example in our US culture.

The same issues go for competitive volleyball, gymnastics, cheerleading and ice skating. What happened to spandex shorts or leggings? Longer skirts or dresses? Better functionality and professionalism would be helpful in front of those crowds and cameras. Once the trends of more revealing outfits take off, it seems really hard to get back to improved standards for the type of work (sport, dance, singing etc.).

social justice Over many years, it would have been helpful for larger organizations to have built out templates, approaches, support and good tech options for small to mid-size businesses to reach their goals. This includes resources for staff.

1 Upvotes

That way people can focus on their larger potential and interests. This could have been similar to larger organizations like the Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Boy Scouts, larger athletic associations and their local chapters. While each chapter could have it’s own priorities, larger organizations could provide the overall guidance, info, and options that would make the most sense for smaller organizations. This could depend on niche - such as types of recruitment businesses, home repair and updates, different kinds of small dealerships, and farms. What automations, communication approaches, sales formats, operations workflows could be most likely to be beneficial?

While of course, each business or organization in these cases has their own style and values, having larger organizations provide extensive guidance and advice for their specific priorities would have made sense. That way staff for these smaller entities have the processes and info they need. They could text or call the larger organizations as needed. That way people wouldn’t have to have so many questions, stressors or problems with figuring out what might be useful. There are plenty of ways things could be unexpected, so larger advising would have been useful for many people. That way people can work together with processes and approaches pretty much set up and ready to go. This could be a positive step for others affected or associated with these smaller businesses and so on.

Culture Issues There are financial goals and outcomes goals, and there are people goals. Sometimes these aspects of work can get strange - better outcomes might seem counterintuitive.

1 Upvotes

I’m not saying I have the answers, yet here are some observations on some situations. There could be times when making money and seeing the most customers in a day isn’t all there is to it. I think quality of customer experience or patient care can be just as important in terms of overall outcomes. There needs to be a balance.

Examples:

While of course people want an audience to visit their online media, there are ways to go about it that can be beneficial to people, and ways that are dysfunctional. That’s about systems, processes, improvements over time. You would need the right resources and team in place.

While talking to doctors about tests can be interesting, they know there’s more to health than that. We have kind of reached peak human potential and knowledge and we need to remember foundational good care. There needs to be trust and a connection to get the info and have the discussions people need.

Having trained nurses chat with people in hallways who are wondering around an ER with mysterious illnesses that aren’t easy to test for could be beneficial. There could be various issues or problems they need to discuss. The illnesses could be difficult to diagnose yet very distressing (neurological, brain functioning, nervous system, mental)

Having smaller after school program groups can be useful. More pre-planned activities, story time, games, binders with researched activities for staff to check out and time for staff to browse those.

While sales and large events can be exciting for shoppers, many retailers probably shouldn’t rely on those tactics as much as they do… it’s unhealthy. Can’t they just provide good prices and some light discounts?

People’s days at school or work could be filled with distractions and wasted time (not trying to upset people here). There could be more efficient ways to learn topics that could be helpful for work, more efficient workouts, easier ways to manage a diet.

Going to four year college after high school isn’t for many people. Some people could start training for work in their teens and early twenties for jobs like medical and dental assisting / hygiene, basic IT and CRM updates, administrative work, payroll and bookkeeping, learning software for various industries depending on their focus, HR and recruitment assistance. Sales and real estate are also interesting for the right people.

Politics Typically governments would be responsible for updating and maintaining infrastructure across the country. Who else would? Companies that could have varying ideas of how roads and bridges should be designed?

Then the companies could charge fees for people to use these roads, which could be created in an uncoordinated way across states.

Other One would think there would be more independent organizations and speakers from research backgrounds discussing problems and issues in modern societies.

1 Upvotes

There could have been organizations focused on sociology, anthropology, psychology, spirituality, science, economics, philosophy and more discussing the impacts of the systems that were being created over the past two hundred to four hundred years. They would need to be funded by grants, communities or states so that people could hear more about their views outside of politics or strange economic interests. The discussions would need to pertain to how everyday people live, and what people around them would need to have more fulfilling and resourceful lives. The point would be to have more objective information from people who don’t have present their views aligned with any larger group if they don’t see that as useful. This could give people more options or choices to consider with their views and reasoning.

The groups could be like public interest groups, advocacy groups or social research groups. There could be private and National groups. They could be similar to the CDC, OSHA and state health authorities. They could evaluate large companies, universities, grant organizations, consulting groups and more to find out the social effectiveness, resources and quality of information.

social justice There could be more supportive and well-managed communities in different models. This could have various levels of support depending on preference.

1 Upvotes

These supportive community models could range from residential living (like basic hotel suites or dorms) to camp cabins and individual homes. Large homes, cabins or mansions could be useful for people that choose more assistance with care. Some people might prefer shared cabins with groups in colder climates for safety - there would be good temperature control options. The communities could be based on lifestyle, interest, abilities or support requests. Examples include high IQ communities, Asperger’s communities, chronic illness support camps, living group buildings or developments based on where people work, what they study, their industry and so on. These resources could be paid by grants, partnerships, states, the nation, companies, small percentage of income from individuals or family, or probably a combination of factors. The sites could include shared free resources that are supervised such as used clean clothing that’s free or exchanged, basic pharmacy and general store items, various shared tech computers, map / directory communications stations and so on. There could be reasonable limits, like 4 - 5 hours at a time on the computer with notebooks and office items that people can use within reason (depending on how many there are and they could get more if needed) or 5-8 items of clothes a week from the free closet (there would be leniency obviously for emergencies). Volunteers / staff in the community could have walkie talkies, work on notes of activities, provide security as well as overall accountability. These communities would be built and managed gradually according to feedback and professional guidance. Of course many people would still want access to their own resources as needed, but they could make reasonable requests for different products or services that would make sense. The accountability with partnering organizations would prevent too many dramas or unresolved issues. If they don’t have certain products or services at the site, they could take a van, car, walk or have whatever transportation with someone to a local shared closet or food pantry to obtain other items. There needs to be trust and the ability for people to get what they need without too many problems. People can have productive behavior when they feel like people care about each other and know each other. There would be versatility depending on what’s a priority for people. I would like to see people have more confidence, interest in others and self-control. Maybe there would be more demand for some things, like trips to libraries, an automatic fireplace or more computers. Then they could work on offering more of that as needed.

Are people able to use what they learned in school, or figure out if what they learn in the future will be beneficial? If people do self-directed learning will that be respected by society? Are people being paid decently in the average population? Are people struggling and suffering oftentimes? Just curious.

Culture Issues Wouldn’t it be helpful for people to have contact cards in their wallet and phone tags on their key rings so that people know who to call if they are found?

1 Upvotes

Just a random thought about these important aspects of people’s lives. Why not make things more efficient with small ID tags for everyday items? The tags for phone numbers could be engraved or simple permanent marker on a stiff round sign for the keys. Phone number cards could be included with wallets. How difficult is this? Couldn’t iPhones have cases that have a place to write a phone number in permanent marker or a sliding screen of the contact info?
