GLOBAL AWARENESS SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL

The Global Awareness Society International, Inc. is a non-profit organization composed of people and

organizations of various backgrounds that recognize that the world is no longer made up of independent

nations and cultures. This technological induced change affects everyone. We, as an organization, wish

to explore the exciting potential that globalization of the world's cultures and societies presents to each

and every one of us as citizens of this planet. Established in 1991, our membership includes both

academic and non-academic based professionals and individuals from various organizations and nations

including the United States.

Globalization has made possible what was once merely a vision: the peoples of our world united under

the roof of one Global Village. Yet, despite increasing interdependence, conflicts continue to blemish the

landscape of our planet. We believe that a vital step toward achieving peace, harmony, and cooperation

among the diverse peoples of our globe is to promote mutual understanding and appreciation for one

another. Global Awareness Society International strives to turn a global vision into global reality.

Purposes of the Global Awareness Society International

• To promote awareness of the diversity of cultures within our global community.

• To enhance our understanding of the political, economic, social, demographic, technological, and

environmental issues among members of the global community.

• To increase sensitivity to issues related to rapid globalization.

• To develop a mutual support network of scholars, professionals, interested people and

organizations.

• To provide multiple forums for the exchange of research, knowledge, and expertise on people

oriented issues related to globalization.

• To help people recognize the diversity and interdependence of the globe's peoples and the

process of globalization.

• To develop and expand the number of national or regional Global Awareness Societies under the

direction of the GASI to pursue our common goals.

A Message from the President of the Global Awareness Society

International Dr. George Agbango

Department of Political Science

Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania

It is with great delight that I welcome you to the 20th

Annual Conference of the Global Awareness Society,

International in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The famous poet John

Donne wrote that “No man is an island, entire of itself; every

man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main …. and

therefore never send to ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for

thee.” No one could have put it better about the uniqueness of

the human condition than John Donne did in this poem. We are

all interconnected as a people regardless of our race, color,

creed, national origin, geographic location or sexual orientation. A nuclear calamity in Japan is

as a much a concern to us as the displacement of people in Darfur (the Sudan) is to all of us.

As a people, we have a common responsibility to make the world a better place for

ourselves and our posterity. That was why the founders of this organization had a vision to

promote global understanding and mutual respect among the peoples of the world through the

sharing of knowledge and culture at forums such as this conference. As we enter into our 21st

year of existence, we can boast that GASI has achieved this objective in diverse ways. Today, we

have chapters of GASI in many countries covering the span of Africa, Europe, Asia and the

Americas.

In a world of global challenges such as natural disasters, terrorism, famine, AIDS/HIV

pandemic, greed, corruption, genocide, and the fight for political freedoms and self-

determination, GASI members have a responsibility to search for answers to these problems.

Searching for answers to ameliorate the plight of the masses globally is no vice; it is a noble

cause. As we share our research findings at this conference, history will long remember the

record of our deliberations. Let us share these ideas and research findings with the vigor, passion,

and enthusiasm that have been our watch words since the founding of this organization.

I have noticed a significant number of new participants at this conference. I welcome you

to the GASI global family and urge you to continue your membership with GASI. To the

returning members, let us renew our commitment to expand the global membership of GASI.

With dedication and hard work, I am confident that succeeding generations will acknowledge our

contributions to global understanding and world peace. Enjoy the Caribbean, enjoy Puerto Rico.

Aluta Continua.

George Agbango, President
