The LINDENLAB PRIZE:

SecondLife is currently holding a contest called the LindenLab Prize which is oriented towards rewarding ideas that not only improve the quality of SecondLife but Real Life as well. I have submitted this idea as an entry to that contest. Here is information regarding my entry:

SL People's Court (or World Forum, International Mediation Center or whatever name you want to call it, although the idea of a 'people's court concept was the spark for this idea)

ABSTRACT:
Please provide a brief summary of your project, its goals and its impact. Limit 200 words.

In these days where the world is becoming smaller and we have faster interactive communications, we find ourselves confronted more easily with interpersonal conflicts and disagreements. A prelude to a ONE WORLD concept is the establishment of a ONE WORLD forum of justice and mediation. I propose the "SL People's Court" (only a proposed name to convey the idea), as a tool to offer patrons RL/SL a place where they can come before an elected world judge and united human jury to air grievances as well as a place to apply for 3rd party advice from global specialists and every day peers.

DESCRIPTION:
Please describe your project in more detail. Be sure to include why you and your project should be considered for the Linden Prize. Limit 600 words.

The internet has brought people together from around the world. We no longer only have friends that simply live in our local community but have expanded to a global social circle. With any human interaction comes inevitable conflict and disagreement of ideas, and ambitions. SL People's Court would be a place where not only individuals could bring their differences into the public eye, but is also expandable to a world wide forum for communities, regions, states, and even nations. It would be a place where issues are brought to the entire populus and not limited to the closed door sessions in institutions of the world social order. From the smallest dispute of justice to the global mediation and input interaction of the entire human condition, ideas could be expressed and debated by a larger group of individuals. Rules and regulations regarding the creation and ongoing development of the idea would be from a concensus of the world population and could eventually lead to a global constitution of law and order where the response is as a unified voice for the entire planet. This project should be developed so that we can minimalize our own personal problems and focus on global issues in a way that reflects the common consciousness and therefore would be a noble contender for the worldwide teaching of peace and the consideration for the Linden Labs Prize.

For more information on this idea which in its essence also applies to GLOBAL PEACE and as a vehicle of concensual social developement... please see the expanded article on this website in the 2nd life section of DMTWORLD at LINDEN LAB PRIZE section
