    Human Empowerment Conference (HEC) 2005
      Houston, Texas, USA
    Fri., Sept 16th - Sun, Sept. 18th, 2005
          CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Scholars and activists are invited to participate in the Third Annual Human Empowerment Conference (HEC) to be held in Houston, TX, USA, from Fri., Sept
16th until Sun, Sept. 18th, 2005. The conference covers four specific areas: (a) Ideology, (b) Awareness, © Political and Socio-Economic Activism, and (d) Infrastructure. The domain of subjects to be covered is limited to Political, Social and Economic issues that affect entire humanity. Purely spiritual, cultural and religious issues will not be covered. Participants can opt to write a paper or make a presentation on topics relevant to the aforementioned areas.
Preamble
  Ideological development is a product of application of intellectual faculties to strong background in the humanities (history, political science, religion, spirituality, culture, archaeology). The products of development process are ideological elements or intellectual building blocks that are relevant to the current state of the society. The ideological elements are then applied to real-life challenges that the humanity faces to produce an ideological framework with a defined perimeter including a strategic vision and direction for the society at large. The theoretical framework developed by the ideologists (or ideologues) is utilized by the field activists in the political, social and economic spheres of human activity to meet the challenges faced by the humanity, for its peaceful existence as an organic whole with its distinct but integral parts at peace and harmony with each other, and with the goal of ennobling the entire humanity ('Krunvanto Vishwam Aryam').
  Ideological empowerment by itself is meaningless, unless and until it is propagated throughout the general consciousness of the society. To make Ideological empowerment practical, its awareness must be spread using a wide variety of means including the mass media and new technologies. Ideological empowerment combined with appropriate levels of awareness result in meaningful political, social and economic activism. Activism without ideology is rootless, and without its awareness often ends up being fruitless. On the other hand Ideology without Activism becomes an academic burden. Further, without the existence of a sound fiscal and human resources infrastructure both intellectualism and activism are not possible.
  The mission of the ideologists (or ideologues) is to ideologically empower the society. Scholarly papers are invited from ideologists who aspire to accomplish the same. Intellectual churning is required for ideological development. Hence, contrarian views are welcome as long as the motive is the same.
  Project presentations are invited from field activists that address the need to spread ideological awareness. Project presentations are also invited in political and socio-economic areas that derive their activity with an ideological imperative, and spread the awareness as a prerequisite.
  Presentations are also invited from activists who can lend their expertise in human resources and fiscal affairs to recruit volunteers and raise funds for the cause of humanity.
  Technocrats are also invited to showcase various technologies that can be employed by intellectuals and activists alike.
