The ‘New Authority’ visionThe ‘New Authority’ vision
“The old authority is built like a pyramid: the authority figure
stands at the top and commands the levels below him.
The new authority is built like a network. The authority figure
draws her power and influence from the parties who
authorize her and give her the means to do her/his job.”
(The New Authority chap. 8)
The internet serves as a net that connects people.
Linking the internet as a tool and the New Authority as a
frame of thinking calls for options to combine them together.
Here are some examples from our website team work in Israel:

Can we use these ideas to try and create a world
wide community for the New Authority concept?
The purpose of N.A.N.I. is to allow each individual –
parent, educator, director, administrator or professional to
obtain knowledge about NVR & the New Authority
concept. Our intent is not only to allow for reading and
learning, but to encourage each person to join discussion
groups and publish through the site papers, articles, case
studies etc. regarding NVR and the New Authority. In
this way all who are interested can contribute and advance
the concept of the New Authority.
AnnouncementAnnouncement
Can I recruit you as activists for the New Authority concept?
The importance of community and the strength of the authority
figure – A human circle forms a community in which the
authority figure is an important part.
The authority figure is an integral part of the community, but
also one who can be leaned on when necessary.
Involvement and Watchful Care – the human circle also forms
a watchful eye, representative of the importance of the vigilant
care by the authority figure.
A blue circle for an idea that we hope that will spread around
the world.
