Ep.1 Church and State and the 6th Estate
Why C&S
Fifth Estate http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/
Sixth Estate is a collective avant-garde. It
seeks to understand and promote a critical
view of our world. A critical perspective
produces analysis of problems and idenifies
critical elements and processes that require
attention. Where possible the Sixth estate
will link the personal and the political. For
example, Single parent women are by vast
majority living in poverty and their children
suffer the effects most, Given their
developmental needs poverty effects our
children most.
I say our children because in the absence of
appropriate care the state reserves the right
to remove that child from his /her parents.
The specific policy instruments and processes
are numerous,
Income security measures: in the tax system,
to EI to Social assistance
Child welfare measures:
Local-Provincial-Federal Programs Childrens
Aid Societies and law and regulations
Participants in the Sixth estate tend to
actively, but generally peaceably seek out
change through the application of its own
collective positive energy. (See Pedagogy of
the Oppressed by Paulo Frerie for a concise
read on the topic.) Among the most consistent
proponents of this approach to
socio-political organizing has been
Liberation Theology.
Liberation Theology is a "Bad Boy in
Theo-political terms". LT operates from the
context of a conservative religousity and
presents the case for empowerment of everyday
people (gods on the bus trying to make our
way home), particularly in the catholic It
tends to advocate on behalf of and help
promote the Fifth Estate using the sanctuary
of First Estate. The sanctuary provides a
phenomenological and ontological context to
both inform its emergent theology and reform
its continually emerging social context.
Liberation Theology seeks to unite the
positive spiritual energy of formerly
separated classes or groups in society. The
core of Liberation Theology and related works
are twofold: Consciousness Raising and
Empowerment.
1Consciousness Raising-This is the process of
helping one another think at a higher and
more powerful level of abstraction. CR seeks
to take lived/experienced problems by 50
people and reduce them to 1/50th a problem,
with 50 people working together to solve that
problem. Helping people see their world in
more sophisticated manner is at the core of
the educational and political agenda of the
method.
The other four are conceptualized as: Clergy
(First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate),
the middle class (Third Estate), and the
press (Fourth Estate)[1]. It can also be used
to describe media that sees itself in
opposition to mainstream (Fourth Estate)
media.
The 6th estate. The 6th estate is Integral in
its orientations. By integral I mean its
reports the news taking account of everything
else in relation to what ever one's current
topic. A theory of everything that relates to
a theory of one.
