World Data Comparison II


While reviewing more data regarding development around the world, I wanted to find some comparative measure for usage when discussing growing economies and global competition. The leading developed nations and economic strengths in North America and Europe are common knowledge. Much attention has been placed upon the growth in developing countries with a current focus on China and Brazil. So, I decided to look at a relative comparison to assess the economic - political positions to society. For integrated societies with comparable stages of development and resources, there always exists the possibility of disagreement which could lead to non-optimal actions impacting global economies. However, the BRIC nations’ growth appears to be a natural stage of economic development consistent with the European and American enlightenment period when investment was focused upon Math, Sciences, and technological advancement. The US is still 4 times the development of China, but population size is important. China’s economy would be ~$60 Trillion at a similar level of development.

This comparison approach measures world economic activity percentage relative to world population percentage. The development position of economic strength increases as each nation educates and creates opportunity for all of its citizens.

U.S.A. Economic Development



Update 12/21/2010: Just wanted to acknowledge the new US Census population data compared to the estimates used in the worksheets and analysis of this post. The estimate used in the analysis from wikipedia was 0.6% greater than the actual count in the 2010 Census. Because the actual population count is less than the estimate, the US measurement metric increased by 0.01 with similar small adjustments to State metric measures. The impact does not change the narrative assessment of the analysis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As an extension of previous data analysis of world development, I looked at a comparative assessment of United States economic development as well as some countries around the world using available data from wikipedia and the CIA Fact Book. Primarily, it began as an initiative to find some relative measure to compare activity and levels of development regarding political discussions of states competing for corporate investment. Multiple factors are considered for such activity depending on the objective of the corporation and theoretically, an educated, multi-skilled work force has higher earnings. 

A note of importance: The data is economic activity not individual earnings!

The basic calculation of the measure is the state % of US economic activity divided by the state % of US population [US Basis]. I have additional work on a world basis for the upcoming World Data Comparison II updated blog post. The Development Metric provides a quick comparative level assessment of US development (regions and states). Since the total United States activity is the basis of measurement its metric is 1.00 relative to the individual states, although not reflected for reasons that may be obvious to some. The Metric of 4.44 and 5.37 is the World Economy basis Development Metric.

Obvious economic impacts are (1) the petroleum industry in Texas and Alaska; (2) finance industry in the Northeast; and (3) the political and lobby spending in DC (not a state but included anyway).

Social Location and Relationships: Economics, Classic Conditioning, and Social Psychology [Explanations]



The American image has long been that of a “melting pot” [collective inclusion] of cultures in the land of Democracy (rule by the people).  The description is accurate in that the country does include a multitude of ethnicities and cultures combining into the American society. The late 1960s was a time of dramatic cultural change breaking barriers that prevented social collaboration and social integration of the people. Honestly, I believe that the majority of Americans favor diversity and accept interrelations setting aside the hidden economic-corporate social limitation (J.E."Hooverites" secret social policy). Politically they tend to be concentrated in the larger metropolitan areas in America. A conservative coalition has been working to reverse those impacts of change as evident in political public statements and positions referencing days of an era past using religious-economic theory and application, if not completely through legislation. Conservative ideology has strong associations in Southern politics still supporting a broader sense of ideological segregation. Consistent with this ideology embedded in religious confirmations and historical references include recognition of historical “Religious Order” and a reincarnated influence in certain American institutions.

Support for this organizing concept is the expanded structure fraternal system adapted for use by an expanded definition of “Church” assisting in acts and organization. This line of reasoning would affect understanding of relationships between Corporations, Religious Institutions, and Political-Governing-Intelligence systems in violation of Constitutional Democratic principles and provide enlightenment regarding the current population employment status. Most political discussions focus on a racism prospective of Conservatism which does not completely reflect the correct mental framing and allows defense of the criticism using friendly associations. The Conservative perspective is consistent with a “Hierarchal Order” which explains opposition to Diversity, Interracial/Inter-ethnic relationships and leadership, balanced (competitive) ownership of economic resources, and provisions for minimum living standards of humanity (they labeled “socialism”). Furthermore, the “Order” concept is based upon a male controlled “family” leadership economic model allowing the directed subjugation of women and children which would explain infallible individual design; racial “moral traps”; socialization of Black “family” commitment politics; African religious tradition; equality opposition; and sex exploitation to maintain “order.” Using the stated conservative belief in “exceptionalism” overlays the “Order Hierarchy” relationship to global political science. The real question is “Do the ‘Order’ and ‘exceptionalism’ concepts refer to the American systems or the American people?”

The southern influential base of conservative politics is well known and documented. What does not get examined is the impact on Black American politics, education, and intellectual development resulting from historical social location concentration origins in the South. Successful economic ascension after legal rights recognition impacted authority structures including historical “Order” and “family” conceptual definitions. This culturalization of Black America affected identity definitions, expected social behaviors, and economic distributions relative to religious tradition adoptions and cooptation of the Black “family” meaning. Reflected in my blog post themes is recognition of African and Native origins in the populations throughout the Americas commonly referred to as people of color and my new influenced interest in United States Latino colleagues’ cultural history. Unless there is another (prophetic? social policy) reason, the African designated identity specification is redundant particularly given the scientific testing explanation acceptance of the earliest known developments which leads to question the African tradition testimony, purpose of fallibility, ethnic segmentation, and religious emphasis on submission to power and authority. Is this a Southern learned leadership attribute of “dues” or reflection of subjugated frustration? A sample illustration of this social system is reflected in the comparative extrapolation of Classic Conditioning supported by the relationships among Black American fraternal organizations, religion, psychology, corporations, politics, and certain government agencies: 
(Used for Inter-ethnic Relationship Separation through "Church," Corporations, & Politics - Economics and “Order” Concept)
Social Conditioning
Social Conditioning refers to the sociological phenomena characterized by a process of inherited tradition and gradual cultural transmutation passed down through previous generations. Results and impacts of social conditioning are vast, but they are generally categorized as social patterns and social structures.
Shaping
In operant conditioning, the subject must first emit the response that the experimenter plans to reward. Shaping is the name given to those initial steps needed to get the subject to engage in the behavior that is to be rewarded.

Not consistent with religion, enlightenment, and constitutional rights! Conditioning is also reflected in interrelated roles of Corporations, Churches, and political-morality-fraternal order. Evident in clandestine communications monitoring and moral exploitation setups for covert domestic political actions liability coordinated through Southern Social "Family" Councils. These acts all serve the "Solid South" and conservative ideology designed around early segregation and economic order (discrimination) to create an interpreted biblical authority structure and allows the “triangle” manipulation of personal outcomes to blame on a constructed individual morality. Religion is personal!

In the Aerospace industry during times of routine inspection, repair, or overhaul, a process called reverse engineering is employed whenever mechanical aircraft parts are needed without proprietary authority from the creator (OEM) to access design and no inventory. This generally means attempted replication of the original part using trial and error and sometimes original materials are not available. The result is an inexact copy of the original, evolved design of differing (usually lesser) specification standards. This example metaphorically relates to Black “Family” or any other "family" forced solidarity commitment to pacify conservative social reasoning. It is an economical power threat to current ownership profitability and “order” to establish pay equity (gender & ethnicity economic equality) than it is to create or allow 10+ “Family” billionaires.

Concentrated employment control politics has increased unemployment to leverage tax breaks. According to definitive financial theory, required tax reduction to increase employment of capital would indicate that ownership is too concentrated and companies are too big to obtain adequate market returns.
