Web Education for the Emerging "Global Village"
The ongoing process of globalization extends to every aspect of modern life, and it is accelerating on a daily basis. Quite literally, our planet is being swiftly transformed into one, all-encompassing "global village."
The Arvisom Institute (pronounced AR-vuh-sum) was founded in the year 2000, as a international education center aspiring to make a positive contribution to this process of globalization. Its activities are wide-ranging, however there is a common thread that links together all of the divergent spheres within which it is engaged. That "common thread" -- which informs and directs all of its multitudinous activities -- is the stress it lays upon a single, underlying IDEAL: the Oneness of Humanity. Therefore, the goal of the Arvisom Institute, as an educational establishment, is ultimately metaphysical in nature. Briefly, it seeks to facilitate an upliftment of the collective consciousness of humankind to the level of true spirituality, that is, to a spiritual understanding of human beings, which is to say, an understanding of humans as essentially spiritual beings. By achieving such an understanding of human nature, one comes to recognize the transcendence, inherent worth, and mutual kinship of all of the human beings who inhabit this planet.
However, in stark contrast to such lofty and esoteric thinking, the actual day-to-day activities of the Arvisom Institute are totally mundane and "practical." Its mission can be expressed in terms of four primary goals, two of which center on the individual, and two with a focus on the collective body of the "global village." These goal can be formulated as follows:
GOAL #1: The Arvisom Institute will provide its clients with a wide assortment of resources through they will be enabled to improve the quality of their lives in terms of "material" prosperity and worldly success.
GOAL #2: The Arvisom Institute will provide its clients with a wide assortment of resources through they will gradually be able to arrive at a clear understanding of the intimate connection that exists between spiritual insight and physical well-being.
GOAL #3: The Arvisom Institute will seek to facilitate communication between the diverse elements of the "global village" (i.e., the various nations, ethnicities, and races of humankind), by providing a wide array of translation services between the various "world languages."
GOAL #4: The Arvisom Institute will seek to facilitate communication between the diverse elements of the "global village" (i.e., the various nations, ethnicities, and races of humankind), by vigorously promoting English as the "international language" of the global village. That is, assistance will be provided to learners and teachers of English throughout the world, with a view to bolstering its current status as the one language that every "world citizen" should be acquainted with in order to communicate with all other members of the global village.
