Does Generosity Versus Creativity and Solidarity Matter within the Contemporary World Changes?

Abstract

The humankind did not and does not attain the required level of the local-global development praxis and cognitive internalization of the (hypothetical) reality to sustain large scale world changes to be a support-set of the decision making regarding local-global development (including pro-market reform and poverty eradication). Technologically-mediated social space has both the potential to create new connections and the possibility to disembody, and remove physicality from human relationships, typically desensitizing us towards eachother and reducing a sense of other as human. The concept of Generosity within the Creative process and Solidarity status highlights a critical tension in the deep social and cultural world. Are we more or less generous in technologically mediated work space, and how do we retain a sense of the other, an-other towards whom I have responsibility to relate and perhaps even care – an-other I value? How do I experience this connection when the connection is mediated through data fragments, through a window I can close with a click? What does this DO to generosity, to self-transcendendence? This interdisciplinary paper tries to facilitate, within social psychological research, the identification of the stages of the complex development of a real social system and their creativity, solidarity, partnership and generosity characteristics; that is a condition and initial point to set out an appropriate guiding system in a contemporary society based on the sociology on the move prospective. Ultimately, this sociological approach can inform policy, leadership, regulation, social-enterprise and socio-political debate, amongst others.
