Introduction of Joan INGLADA

I am 57 years old and I am Catalan. I carried out technical studies and
humanities and I am an administrative employee in the industry. I
participate in several local and international associations. My current
preferences are the philosophy for Peace, the eradication of Poverty,
Freedom as no-dominance, the safeguard of diversity, especially cultural
diversity which I believe is the only human diversity that we should
preserve. My website http://idd00x69.eresmas.net/.
I am vice-president of the Associació Catalana d'Esperanto (Catalan
association of Esperanto) http://www.esperanto-ct.org, I am also a member of
the Association Renta Básica (Association of the Universal Salary Network)
Network http://www.redrentabasica.org. I am a collaborator of the Conference
of Peace promoted by Elkarri http://www.elkarri.org that yesterday,
26/10/2002, which presented the definitive conclusions of this process, in
the Palacio Euskalduna of Bilbao (Basque Country, West Europe).
My thought: More than ever it is clear that the primordial characteristic is
diversity, which is why we need to promote individual development. If we
don't safeguard diversity, the human culture will end up in uniformity, with
consequent impoverishment for the human species. Have a look to
http://sapir.ling.yale.edu/~elf/ and
http://www.helsinki.fi/~tasalmin/europe_index.html
Another characteristic is that of the social being. The theory of personal
growth is a very rich one. Such growth is related to the real environment,
society, and giving and receiving reciprocally. To be able to cohabitate in
society while safeguarding diversity, that is, without interfering
arbitrarily in the space of the others - persons or groups - we need to be
in the place of the others to understand them, besides having a political
system that guarantees the freedom as no-dominance.
According to all this, I believe in the necessity of the eradication of
Poverty, according to ethical principles and because poverty is a place of
recruitment for armed conflicts. To get Peace, a dialogue is also necessary
that needs from respect to cultural Diversity, that's why Esperantists
propose linguistic democracy through speaking a neutral language that
requires the effort of all humans the use of a language bridge to which we
will appeal to understand others as well as to be understood.
I believe that we need a World Government in order to make all this
possible, so I find well to begin to work for a Parliament.
Sincerely,
Joan Inglada
