Seeking Qualitative Data to Follow Conflictual Beliefs

Abstract

Cognitive belief systems are analyzed by this analysis appraising them as to their ability to resolve conflicts across boundaries. The paper theorizes that belief systems across boundaries, although different have stability and equilibrium that produces order. Belief system are understood to perform excellently in interpretation of events, evaluation of possible actions, and reflexivity about actions begun. As recognized alternatives to rational choice decision making, belief systems are known to perform economically and well. Heuristics in cognitive belief systems are attributed importance in the quickness elites use in reasoning situations across borders. As explanation, cognitive belief systems are popular as they are seen responsible for decades of order along boundaries. This paper's social science analysis used narrative data derived from six social networks -- Cluster, Meetup, Netlog, Path, Pixable, and Planet Romeo -- for a qualitative methods analysis of whether social networking is aggressively disrupting the established decision strengths of cognitive belief systems. Social networking's strength in selling a conflicting explanation is substantial as communication richness can persuasively be used to shape beliefs. A momentum phenomenon that social networking produces is gaining respect as a powerful force. In elections, social networking succeeds because one politician can gain the lead in momentum with more social networking friends while other politicians fall behind and lose lacking momentum in their social networking. The momentum phenomenon strengthens Internets ability to contend with cognitive belief systems as explanation. In 2014, two border conflict situations can be analyzed from this theoretical perspective, the Ukraine and North Korea. In the Ukraine, Internet's oversell of a euphemistic globalism together with some sales bells and whistles produced a reaction. The decades of stability cognitive belief systems had maintained in the Ukrainian region refused to yield to Internet explanation and strife occurred. The North Korean border situation need be carefully followed as the conflict of explanations between cognitive belief systems and Internet that happened in the Ukraine could possibly occur in that region.
