'How the Irish Saved Civilization', is a work (historical in nature), by one, Thomas Cahill, that many, who do, come across it, are in many ways, really, forced to, blink (once or twice even). A History, that many, have never really, heard of, due mainly, to the popular, depictions, of the Irish perhaps, as being, low in Civilization, but high, in Spirit. A work, which many, on reading perhaps, wouldn't really, know, what to do with it, as it, in many ways, does not, represent, History, as they, very much, would like it (as with, Events, and Actions taken). The Irish, are not, the only ones, with this, problem (of telling, their History, to the outside World), as they too, along with, the Italians, have often, recorded, their History, from the perspective, of, Famed Figures [and not, Religion really (as with, Events and Actions taken), which is, rather popular, today]. In many ways, a History, not deemed, probable (or believable really), as many, of the, accounts in it, cannot, be readily, proven [India fights a war, that is recorded, as History, but Italian Mercenaries, involved in it, don't really, make it, into, History] [with the exception really, of, 'Afrocentric like', records].
How to record, ones History, is often, in many ways, a rather, difficult task, highly based, on how, a people, seek, to live, their very lives. The idea, of recording History [from the perspective, of, Religion (as with, Events mainly)], is one, heavily, favoured, in the World, today, but one, mainly too, geared, towards, Civilizations, that live lives, heavily, centered around, Religion in itself (and associated, structures erected) [as seen, mainly, in Asia, and the Middle East too]. In many ways too, the very fact, that, the Irish (and Italians even), lived, rather Individual (Isolative even), lives, means that, the use, of, Religion, to record, their history, is rather, uncompromising [as is also, the attempt, to use, Language/Culture, for this]. For the Italians though, their lives (as with, Italia really), were, heavily based on, Roma Italian Civilization. For the average Italian youth, they sought in all, to live, a life, based on, a Philosophy (as with, a published philosophy, work), which they lived, around, and inspired them, to aim, for, something big, in their, very lives [in all really, rather, individual lives, with, structures erected too, very much, around, the Individual, and interestingly enough, centered, around in all, the, Roma Church] [Similar in all, to the, American Political world, as centered, around, Congress] [An example, of such a famed, Roma Philosophy work, is, 'The Book of the Courtier' by, Baldassare Castiglione]. [In many ways too in all, to record, Italian History, would be, similar in all, to recording, History, as with, the, American Congress].
The Magna Carta:
'The Magna Carta', is a work, of, Byzantine origins, that in most ways, is, very much, at the heart too, of, the creation, of, Italian Civilization (as with, Italia manly), and in many ways too, responsible, for the creation, of what, some, call, the Global Community [as centered, around, Italia].
It is in, Italia, that in many ways, the Global World, is born onto [as with, the Magna Carta really], and all, very much, centered, around, Italian Ideas (of Civilized Existence) [La Bella Figura] [and also too, representing, Italian, Intellectual Capital (as with the Congress)].
To fully understand all this, is to know, how, Italia, really gave, birth, to the Modern World, as with, the structures, imposed/associated, with it all [including too, some, of the rather popular, forms, of, Materiality, seen today (like The Ferrari for instance)].
The Italian Magna Carta, came to be born, based, very much on, what, they call, the 5 Pillars of Islam. In all, a Global World, structured, on, 5 main, Constructs (as seen really, in the Islamic world):
1. Central Intelligence & Militarized Forces - as with Islamic Knowledge
2. City-State Models - as with Islamic Art/Architecture
3. International Diplomacy - as with Islamic Ancestor Worship
4. International Organizations (Religious) - as with Umma (Vita Nuova)
5. International Media - as with Islamic culture
It is these, 5 structures (heavily falsely believed, American), that in many ways, formed, a recognizable part, of Italia (as Civilization), although, Italia (as Civilization), did exist, in, another form, heavily based, on, Roma Civilization [with the structured Italia, heavily, dependent, on the, real Italia perhaps, as with, workforces, and, Volunteering even] [the real Italia, is perhaps, best seen, in, works, Arthurian in scope, such as 'The Romance of the Rose', as Italia, was, heavily Arthurian, despite, what many, might know (or believe even)].
A full deconstruction, of the above, is probably, favoured, so as in many ways, to see, the olden World, as it, really was [as many today, are prevented, from doing as such (seeing the olden world), due to all kinds, of structures (based, on the 5 constructs above), being placed, all over].
Before Italia, gave birth, to, the world, of Central Intelligence & Militarized Forces, different, Civilizations, existed differently, as, with, Armed Forces. The Romans (Civilization), for instance, used, the Greek Model, of having, Battalions (that they called, Regiments), placed, all over, in what, one would term, Strategic positions [positions, from which, they could, face, invasions, in all]. The Egyptians, on the otherhand, had, Armed Forces, similar in nature, to, Modern Armies [as with, Barracks really, and even too, Army lifestyles]. The Europeans, in many ways really, did not, fight wars actually, and any form, of, antagonistic behaviour, took, the form really, of, Diplomatic rows, which eventually, would lead, to, cultures, of Spying, and, Assassinations too, in all [many European 'Armies', were actually, more or less, Guards (specialized even), of all forms]. In the Islamic Civilization, we see, in many ways, Militias (in all), for hire [a good example, being, the Mamluks, of old]. In World Civilization, you still see, in many ways, the rather, ancient model, of having, its people, trained, in, Martial warfare, and being, called upon, when needed (as with, American Recruitment, and, the Draft), to fight really, for their countries.
It was in many ways too, the Italians, that popularized, the, City-State model, of existence, that is, highly today, associated, with, Urban Planning & Development, just about, everywhere. In that in all, many, out there, speak, of Country (like India perhaps), not realizing, that, India today (though termed, a subcontinent), is in, many ways really, a number, of, rather prominent, Cities (City-States really) [as with, New Delhi, Calcutta, and even, Delhi itself]. A model really too, that sees, the rise, of Women, into prominence (as with, running, everyday affairs, associated, with, a City), but a model really, that best, works, with toughened Women (such as, Italian, or, Roman Women too). Before all this, different, Civilizations, very much, had, different, existences, as with, physical living really. In Europe, as not really known really, one, finds, a rather, high Model (as with developments perhaps), and as mainly with, the Settlements Model. Settlements, based, very much, around, Architectural works ( and wonders too in all) [that in many, ways, served, as, meeting places, for all, as with, Markets, Museums too, Coffee shops (Byzantine), and even, forms of Hosteling (amongst, many other things really)] [the Settlements model, is one, historically, heavily centered, around, what they refer to, as, the Waterhole]. In France though, this was not, especially true (as with, Paris really), as they, used, the Egyptian Model, of, Urban Planning & Development, based, heavily around, building, a Metropolis [many Egyptian Cities, were rather, huge, as Paris, still very much is (despite, suffering, lots of, destruction, during, the downfall, of France)] [London, is not really, a, Metropolis, but a huge, 'disarray' really, driven, by, too many, immigrant settlements]. The Roman World (Civilization), gave birth, to the concept, of, International Cities [as with, Rome, Milan, Frankfurt, 'Paris', 'London', and even, Barcelona too] [A series, of Cities, interconnected, with each other, and in all, having, immigrants mainly, from the Islamic world] [in all really, Cities, highly centered around, all forms, of, Communications]. The Greek world, is not, well understood, by many, but has indeed, influenced (largely even), other parts, of, the World (as with, Urban Developments & Planning). In Greece, Cities were very much too, based on, building, Architectural Works, that, the Greeks, very much, lived around (the most famous of these, being, Temples, National Libraries/Archives, Gardens (huge in scope) and even, Monumental works). In all really, Greek lives, were heavily, centered, around, such, Architectural works [and a model seen too, in parts, of America even] [this model, is also seen, in, the Islamic Civilization (as with, the Middle East really), and with lives, heavily, geared, around, the Mosque (as a form, of, the Temple)] [There is room though, for, further development, of, 'Middle East' Cities, as mainly, based on' the Greek Model, and especially, as with, Monumental works (and 'Gardens' even - somewhat' reminiscent, of Dubai)] [This Greek Model, is also seen, very much, as' the very foundation, of' the future, French Civilization, as mainly' with regards to, Monumental Works, and centered around' Marseilles (as with, the 'Palais de Longchamps')] [As mentioned before too, the Islamic world (outside the Middle East), did exist, in, conjunction, with, the Roman World, and can in many ways too, continue, to do so, as based really, around, Turkey] [The very idea, of, a ruling Council, in Turkey, building, International Cities, all over]. The concept, of, the Huge City (and rather, cultural too, in all) [as with modern day New York perhaps], best suits, South American Civilization [as in many ways, Rio, and Buenos Aires too, are rather, similar in all, to modern day, New York, in most ways really] [Mid-Scale Cities, cultural too in all, best suit, Africa in general]. In Asia finally, one finds, that, the Sociological Model, of, building Cities [highly based, around, the idea, of Commerce, in general (and redefining it, in rather, interesting manners), still, in many ways, best, serves, Asia in all].
Greek temple (an Illustration):
http://allart.biz/up/photos/album/R/Raphael%20Sanzio/raphael_81_the_presentation_in_the_templei_oddi_altar.jpg
[a place really, where one, could gain, Knowledge, of, any kind, that they sought out, as mainly, to do, with, Ideas (and the 'worship', of, Gaia)].
International Diplomacy, was in many ways, born, in Italia, and heavily centered in all, around, the Aesthetical (as with, Market Theory) [todays world, of, Diplomacy, is mainly, centered, around, Cultural Formations (as with, perhaps, disturbing, Religious/Cultural groups, to some)]. Before, the Era, of, International Diplomacy (as with, the Global World really), arose, one had, in many ways, the following: Travel (as with, the Aesthetics world, mainly), Movement (as with, Goods and People even) [and centered, around, Cultural Formations], and finally, Emigres/Immigres (as with, moving, Workforces); [all this three, replaced today, by, International Diplomacy, as, with even, Instant advisories (via International phonecalls)].
The International Organization (spanning the World really), though in many ways, seen, in the Islamic Civilization (as Decentralized), existed, in Italia, in a more or less, Centralized form. In all, as is known really, Organizations, offering help [as with NGO's perhaps], to those, who, really, need it. Before, the era, of, the International Organization, one sees, help or aid even, existing, in various forms (as with, Civilization really); In European Civilization, the idea, of, Self-Protection (as with, aid, or assistance issues even), is heavily, culturalized (as with, not asking, for help really, and doing, everything, for oneself), and asking, for help, was, a rather, political endeavour, in all (as with, Religious Discussions even) [and all this even, based around, the Church really (as, even with, wealth management in all)]. In Roman Civilization, seeking of help (or aid), in any form really, is heavily, centered around, the Senate (and other, such, Parliamentary Organizations) [as seen, alot, today too]. In the Islamic Civilization, ones sees, in many ways, a World, similar, to, Merovongian Byzantine France (as with, Banners, Flags and Insignia), but also too, Religious Organizations, based on, Umma (and even, the, Byzantine Church). In the Egyptian & Greek Civilizations, the search, for help, is in many ways, really, inexistent, as they were, both, Civilizations, heavily based on, Wisdom (of all kinds) [ingrained into one too], such that, the people, never, did really, do, anything, uncompromising really (they always really, acted, wisely) [Wisdom really, as that, often, associated, with, Game Theory]. In World Civilization, offering help in many ways, did not, really exist, as they were, Civilizations really, built, rather slowly in all (and not, really, taking on, risks, of all kinds) [as with Japanese, Fiscal Policies].
It is Italia too, that gave birth, to, International Media, as a form really, of, culture based engagement. A rather, easy endeavour in all, for Italia, was, at the very heart, of, International Trade, in many ways really [all Trade, with Europe for instance, hintered, around, Italia]. In many ways too, Italia, in being, a mainly, 'High Art' Civilization, it did,, export, alot, of its Art based works, to, the outside World (in a similar manner, to what, America, today, is, with regards, to, Media too). In all, the world, of Gucci, Prada, Armani, Italian foods (wheat based really), Italian Musical Instruments (top-notch Violins for instance), Italian Liquor (such as Champagne), and even, Italian Jewelry [as mainly, based around, Rubies, and in all really, defining, European Jewelry in all (Buccelatti)] [all the fore mentioned really, Sub-Industries, of, Italian High Art]. Before the Global Community (World really), was born, most, Civilizations, associated with themselves, based heavily, around, the concept, of, Indigenous Culture [culture, heavily regional, in nature (as perhaps, with, ingredients used, too)]. You also have though, what, they call, the World Community, today, heavily, centered around, America, and in many ways, based on, the exchange, of, ideas, of all kinds (and especially, Economic too). Today though, it is best believed, that, the World Community, be heavily, figured around, Sharia, Islam, and Sufism, as learned, disciplines, on how really, to, generate ideas (popular really), of all kinds. You too have, the International Community [based around, the UN, and even, too, Niger/Nubian Civilization], and in many ways too, linked, to, International Business (as with, Co-operations really); It is best foreseen though (as said/mentioned before), the creation, of, Italian based, 'Area of Confluences' (worldwide), driven mainly, by, the Italian language (in popular form), and in all, recreating, International Business (it being, rather, political n nature, in the present), into, International Business (as based, on, Chaordic Theory) [a world really, of, endless possibilities, not too, easy, to foresee in all, but in many ways, based on, the, Entertainment industries (but not, as with, Sports & Games, as, popularly seen, today) (as with, the World Cup too really), but really, on, what, they call, ''Gaming'] [Gaming, as with, perhaps, the Olympics, Festivals (including, the famed, Christmas, and as with, Christianity 1.0), Celebrations, Summits (Meets in all really), and finally too, Tourism/Holidaying/Vacationing, in all].
The Global Community:
The Global Community, in many ways, does refer, to, Political structures, often, put into place, in order, to, support, Human interactions (on a more, or less, Global scale). That in many ways, when, people, have what, some, refer to, as, Issues, various, Political structures, such as, Airports even, facilitate really, the interaction, of Humans, on a more, or less, Global perspective, in helping, deal, with these Issues [that in many ways too, the very, concept, of, the Nation, is today, highly tied, with, the Global Community, and its, supporting, Infrastructure (often, deemed, Infrastructural)]. In many ways in all, when people, use, terms, such as, America, Brazil or even, France today, they are not, really, referring, to the, forementioned, as Countries (really), but mainly, as, Nations [as with, the Infrastructural really] ['Les Blues', or even, 'Alliance Francaise' (AF), is, France today, as a Country].
In all, what is spoken about here, is not, too easy, to fathom in all, but in all really, it really is. In that, whenever, we face, Social, Political, or even, Economic Issues, we often, seek out, certain structures (often, of the Political form), for help. In todays World, these structures, are often, in, the form, of, Outlets (Social issues), Facilities (Political Issues), Institutes (Economic Issues). All this, is rather, well known in all, and a way, of dealing, with, all forms, of Issues, previously, seen, in America. However, the Italians, did, something more, with this, model, by in many ways, mechanizing it (as with, efficiency really). What this means, is that, they improved, the efficiency, needed, to run, the above, mentioned, structures, by introducing, certain, Key terms (perhaps), that have, come, to, very much, define, the World, of, Management (Operations): Value Chain Analysis, Chains of Command, and, Political Networks [all three, that have, come, to heavily, define, how, Outlets, Institutes, and, Facilities (respectively), are run, on, a Worldwide scale]. This was, in many ways, the Gift, by the Italians, to, World Civilization, as the only reason mainly, why, Civilization today (continues to run, as it does really, today), is because, of these, three mentioned, ideas (what is been said, is that, what constitutes, most, 'Countries' out there today, is nothing more really, than, Outlets, Facilities, and, Institutes too]. What makes the above three, rather, special, is that, they allowed, for, people, to have, their Issues (of all sorts), dealt with, on, a rather, Individual basis [as in going for example, to a shop outlet, and privately, ordering, a product, from, afar] [In previous times (as with America really), Outlets, Facilities, and Institutes, solved, Issues (of all forms), only, on, a group basis].
In other Civilizations, dealing, with Issues, was dealt with, rather, differently, from the World, created, by, the Italians. In European Civilization for instance, Issues (Social, Political, and Economic), were dealt with, on, a more or less, Individual basis (as with, certain, group formations too also), and through interactions, seen, in Architectural works, Parks, and Botanical Gardens (as with, Social, Political and Economic issues, respectively) [sounds rather strange, but Parks for instance, did house, certain, buildings (Castle like), that were, used, for all, forms, of, Meets (and not, meetings really)] [In Napoleanic France (as with, its collapse), the concept, of the Hotel, is also very much, used, as a, Political gathering spot] [Paris, as a City, existed, amidst, rather, many, Parks in all (like the, 'Palace of Versailles')] [The Golf course, is a, kind, of Park, that also, holds, Hotel like structures too, and in, the Victorian/Elizabethan worlds, was used, for, Political Meets, of all kinds]. In the Roman Civilization, the dealing, of, Social, Political, and Economic, Issues, occurred through, Social Spots (such as, Venues/Clubs, Restaurants, and even, 'Mall-like' structures), the Senate (and other, such, Political Institutions), and finally, Homes (of all kinds, of folks) respectively, in all. In the Greek Civilization, Issues, were rather, Individual in all, and people, dealt with them really (n all too), through, what is known, as the Council (Individual or Group) [for instance, the Greek Parliament really, was, a Council, not held really, oftenly (but only, when, trouble arose)] [To understand, the Greeks better, is to know, they, lived lives, based heavily, around, Materiality (as with Persian rags perhaps) (and not, Materialism)].

The three above [Californian homes], represent, in all, ways really, how, common, Greek Architectural Design (as with Homes mainly, really), actually, looked like [in that, Greece, once, did, look, like the pictures, above, and the homes above, are actually, of, Greek origins, as with, Greek Settlers, to, America] [Americanistas (Legion) really].
Th Egyptian Civilization, dealt with Issues, mainly, from, a Family perspective (as with, redefining even, what, Family meant, or was) [and the use, of Libraries too, as with, seeking, Knowledge, once, a solution, had been, met/found]. The Islamic/Byzantine Civilizations, dealt with, Issues (Social, Political, and Economic), from, the perspective, of, Books ( and learning), Prayer, and, Family Conferences in all (as with, important Family members, meeting, and the rest, of Family, simply, in many ways, kept, in the dark, as with, the Family's problems) [until, they hit, a certain age of course]. In World Civilizations, one has, the popularity, of, Political Precincts (such as, Government Offices, and, Government Officials, and including too, Government shops/outlets), in helping, deal, with, all kinds, of, Issues, faced [a model, rather still, popular, in, the so called, 'Third World'] [These Precincts, often, taking the form, of, Grounds (as with, Architecture really) (and in all, rather large, as with, modern, Eastern European, Cultures)].
That in many ways, was how, the, olden Civilizations, dealt, with Issues, of, all kinds, before, the Italian model, became, more or less, the norm (as with, a World Standard) [in the attempt really, to save, Civilization]. In South America, one finds, a rather, different model (in all). As in, the above mentioned, examples, refer mainly, to what, one, would call, Power Centers [with the exception, of, 'Third World' Power Precincts]. The Italians though (as with, standardized Outlets etc.), introduced, the very concept, of, Power Points [as with Points of Reference, Points of Contact, and, Points of Deployment too (in all)]. In South America, Power, as in dealing, with, issues, was deployed really, in, the form really, of, Positions [as with, seeking out, Influential Individuals, to help, meet, many, of ones, needs (as with, Literary Studies, Researching, and, Capoeiristas too)] [The whole Culture, of, having, personal doctors, personal bankers, personal lawyers, personal tutors, personal bodyguards, or even, personal counselors (of all kinds really)].
In a finality, for, the European Civilization at least, one finds, that, Glasgow (in Scotland), in most ways, represents, how, the traditional, European City, very much, looked like [before, destructive wars, and the rise, of, Modernity, and, Urban Developments in all].
La Bella Figura (a Redux):
To fully, see, Italia, as it really was (as with, its two levels really), is to, of course, be more or less, acquainted, with, the general sounds, Cadence, and even, general movements (as with, working really), seen, in this world; a world, heavily, in some ways (generally speaking that is), defined, by, Caravaggio (Michelangelo), Giacomo Casanova, and, finally too, Marin Malais [with Casanova, providing, the, Political Intrigues, Malais, the accompanying music, and, Caravaggios Art and Ideas, driving, this, 'Modern Italia'] [And all this, being supported really, in most ways really, by, the Italian Jesuits].

(sounds, as with, everyday, activity, and general working, noises too)
You also though, have, Arthurian (European) Italia, which, coexisted, with the above, Italia, and, consisted really, of folks, such as, Marie Fredriksson (a modern day, Marie de France), Per Gessle, Giambattista Vico (famed, but rather, unknown, Italian Philosopher), Donatello [famed Italian Artist, actually, living, during, the Italia times, and not, Roma (High Renaissance) times], and finally, famed, French King, King Louis XIV (who was, of, Italian origins).

How to record, ones History, is often, in many ways, a rather, difficult task, highly based, on how, a people, seek, to live, their very lives. The idea, of recording History [from the perspective, of, Religion (as with, Events mainly)], is one, heavily, favoured, in the World, today, but one, mainly too, geared, towards, Civilizations, that live lives, heavily, centered around, Religion in itself (and associated, structures erected) [as seen, mainly, in Asia, and the Middle East too]. In many ways too, the very fact, that, the Irish (and Italians even), lived, rather Individual (Isolative even), lives, means that, the use, of, Religion, to record, their history, is rather, uncompromising [as is also, the attempt, to use, Language/Culture, for this]. For the Italians though, their lives (as with, Italia really), were, heavily based on, Roma Italian Civilization. For the average Italian youth, they sought in all, to live, a life, based on, a Philosophy (as with, a published philosophy, work), which they lived, around, and inspired them, to aim, for, something big, in their, very lives [in all really, rather, individual lives, with, structures erected too, very much, around, the Individual, and interestingly enough, centered, around in all, the, Roma Church] [Similar in all, to the, American Political world, as centered, around, Congress] [An example, of such a famed, Roma Philosophy work, is, 'The Book of the Courtier' by, Baldassare Castiglione]. [In many ways too in all, to record, Italian History, would be, similar in all, to recording, History, as with, the, American Congress].
The Magna Carta:
'The Magna Carta', is a work, of, Byzantine origins, that in most ways, is, very much, at the heart too, of, the creation, of, Italian Civilization (as with, Italia manly), and in many ways too, responsible, for the creation, of what, some, call, the Global Community [as centered, around, Italia].
It is in, Italia, that in many ways, the Global World, is born onto [as with, the Magna Carta really], and all, very much, centered, around, Italian Ideas (of Civilized Existence) [La Bella Figura] [and also too, representing, Italian, Intellectual Capital (as with the Congress)].
To fully understand all this, is to know, how, Italia, really gave, birth, to the Modern World, as with, the structures, imposed/associated, with it all [including too, some, of the rather popular, forms, of, Materiality, seen today (like The Ferrari for instance)].
The Italian Magna Carta, came to be born, based, very much on, what, they call, the 5 Pillars of Islam. In all, a Global World, structured, on, 5 main, Constructs (as seen really, in the Islamic world):
1. Central Intelligence & Militarized Forces - as with Islamic Knowledge
2. City-State Models - as with Islamic Art/Architecture
3. International Diplomacy - as with Islamic Ancestor Worship
4. International Organizations (Religious) - as with Umma (Vita Nuova)
5. International Media - as with Islamic culture
It is these, 5 structures (heavily falsely believed, American), that in many ways, formed, a recognizable part, of Italia (as Civilization), although, Italia (as Civilization), did exist, in, another form, heavily based, on, Roma Civilization [with the structured Italia, heavily, dependent, on the, real Italia perhaps, as with, workforces, and, Volunteering even] [the real Italia, is perhaps, best seen, in, works, Arthurian in scope, such as 'The Romance of the Rose', as Italia, was, heavily Arthurian, despite, what many, might know (or believe even)].
A full deconstruction, of the above, is probably, favoured, so as in many ways, to see, the olden World, as it, really was [as many today, are prevented, from doing as such (seeing the olden world), due to all kinds, of structures (based, on the 5 constructs above), being placed, all over].
Before Italia, gave birth, to, the world, of Central Intelligence & Militarized Forces, different, Civilizations, existed differently, as, with, Armed Forces. The Romans (Civilization), for instance, used, the Greek Model, of having, Battalions (that they called, Regiments), placed, all over, in what, one would term, Strategic positions [positions, from which, they could, face, invasions, in all]. The Egyptians, on the otherhand, had, Armed Forces, similar in nature, to, Modern Armies [as with, Barracks really, and even too, Army lifestyles]. The Europeans, in many ways really, did not, fight wars actually, and any form, of, antagonistic behaviour, took, the form really, of, Diplomatic rows, which eventually, would lead, to, cultures, of Spying, and, Assassinations too, in all [many European 'Armies', were actually, more or less, Guards (specialized even), of all forms]. In the Islamic Civilization, we see, in many ways, Militias (in all), for hire [a good example, being, the Mamluks, of old]. In World Civilization, you still see, in many ways, the rather, ancient model, of having, its people, trained, in, Martial warfare, and being, called upon, when needed (as with, American Recruitment, and, the Draft), to fight really, for their countries.
It was in many ways too, the Italians, that popularized, the, City-State model, of existence, that is, highly today, associated, with, Urban Planning & Development, just about, everywhere. In that in all, many, out there, speak, of Country (like India perhaps), not realizing, that, India today (though termed, a subcontinent), is in, many ways really, a number, of, rather prominent, Cities (City-States really) [as with, New Delhi, Calcutta, and even, Delhi itself]. A model really too, that sees, the rise, of Women, into prominence (as with, running, everyday affairs, associated, with, a City), but a model really, that best, works, with toughened Women (such as, Italian, or, Roman Women too). Before all this, different, Civilizations, very much, had, different, existences, as with, physical living really.

In France though, this was not, especially true (as with, Paris really), as they, used, the Egyptian Model, of, Urban Planning & Development, based, heavily around, building, a Metropolis [many Egyptian Cities, were rather, huge, as Paris, still very much is (despite, suffering, lots of, destruction, during, the downfall, of France)] [London, is not really, a, Metropolis, but a huge, 'disarray' really, driven, by, too many, immigrant settlements]. The Roman World (Civilization), gave birth, to the concept, of, International Cities [as with, Rome, Milan, Frankfurt, 'Paris', 'London', and even, Barcelona too] [A series, of Cities, interconnected, with each other, and in all, having, immigrants mainly, from the Islamic world] [in all really, Cities, highly centered around, all forms, of, Communications]. The Greek world, is not, well understood, by many, but has indeed, influenced (largely even), other parts, of, the World (as with, Urban Developments & Planning). In Greece, Cities were very much too, based on, building, Architectural Works, that, the Greeks, very much, lived around (the most famous of these, being, Temples, National Libraries/Archives, Gardens (huge in scope) and even, Monumental works). In all really, Greek lives, were heavily, centered, around, such, Architectural works [and a model seen too, in parts, of America even] [this model, is also seen, in, the Islamic Civilization (as with, the Middle East really), and with lives, heavily, geared, around, the Mosque (as a form, of, the Temple)] [There is room though, for, further development, of, 'Middle East' Cities, as mainly, based on' the Greek Model, and especially, as with, Monumental works (and 'Gardens' even - somewhat' reminiscent, of Dubai)] [This Greek Model, is also seen, very much, as' the very foundation, of' the future, French Civilization, as mainly' with regards to, Monumental Works, and centered around' Marseilles (as with, the 'Palais de Longchamps')] [As mentioned before too, the Islamic world (outside the Middle East), did exist, in, conjunction, with, the Roman World, and can in many ways too, continue, to do so, as based really, around, Turkey] [The very idea, of, a ruling Council, in Turkey, building, International Cities, all over]. The concept, of, the Huge City (and rather, cultural too, in all) [as with modern day New York perhaps], best suits, South American Civilization [as in many ways, Rio, and Buenos Aires too, are rather, similar in all, to modern day, New York, in most ways really] [Mid-Scale Cities, cultural too in all, best suit, Africa in general]. In Asia finally, one finds, that, the Sociological Model, of, building Cities [highly based, around, the idea, of Commerce, in general (and redefining it, in rather, interesting manners), still, in many ways, best, serves, Asia in all].

[a place really, where one, could gain, Knowledge, of, any kind, that they sought out, as mainly, to do, with, Ideas (and the 'worship', of, Gaia)].
International Diplomacy, was in many ways, born, in Italia, and heavily centered in all, around, the Aesthetical (as with, Market Theory) [todays world, of, Diplomacy, is mainly, centered, around, Cultural Formations (as with, perhaps, disturbing, Religious/Cultural groups, to some)]. Before, the Era, of, International Diplomacy (as with, the Global World really), arose, one had, in many ways, the following: Travel (as with, the Aesthetics world, mainly), Movement (as with, Goods and People even) [and centered, around, Cultural Formations], and finally, Emigres/Immigres (as with, moving, Workforces); [all this three, replaced today, by, International Diplomacy, as, with even, Instant advisories (via International phonecalls)].
The International Organization (spanning the World really), though in many ways, seen, in the Islamic Civilization (as Decentralized), existed, in Italia, in a more or less, Centralized form. In all, as is known really, Organizations, offering help [as with NGO's perhaps], to those, who, really, need it. Before, the era, of, the International Organization, one sees, help or aid even, existing, in various forms (as with, Civilization really); In European Civilization, the idea, of, Self-Protection (as with, aid, or assistance issues even), is heavily, culturalized (as with, not asking, for help really, and doing, everything, for oneself), and asking, for help, was, a rather, political endeavour, in all (as with, Religious Discussions even) [and all this even, based around, the Church really (as, even with, wealth management in all)]. In Roman Civilization, seeking of help (or aid), in any form really, is heavily, centered around, the Senate (and other, such, Parliamentary Organizations) [as seen, alot, today too]. In the Islamic Civilization, ones sees, in many ways, a World, similar, to, Merovongian Byzantine France (as with, Banners, Flags and Insignia), but also too, Religious Organizations, based on, Umma (and even, the, Byzantine Church). In the Egyptian & Greek Civilizations, the search, for help, is in many ways, really, inexistent, as they were, both, Civilizations, heavily based on, Wisdom (of all kinds) [ingrained into one too], such that, the people, never, did really, do, anything, uncompromising really (they always really, acted, wisely) [Wisdom really, as that, often, associated, with, Game Theory]. In World Civilization, offering help in many ways, did not, really exist, as they were, Civilizations really, built, rather slowly in all (and not, really, taking on, risks, of all kinds) [as with Japanese, Fiscal Policies].
It is Italia too, that gave birth, to, International Media, as a form really, of, culture based engagement. A rather, easy endeavour in all, for Italia, was, at the very heart, of, International Trade, in many ways really [all Trade, with Europe for instance, hintered, around, Italia]. In many ways too, Italia, in being, a mainly, 'High Art' Civilization, it did,, export, alot, of its Art based works, to, the outside World (in a similar manner, to what, America, today, is, with regards, to, Media too). In all, the world, of Gucci, Prada, Armani, Italian foods (wheat based really), Italian Musical Instruments (top-notch Violins for instance), Italian Liquor (such as Champagne), and even, Italian Jewelry [as mainly, based around, Rubies, and in all really, defining, European Jewelry in all (Buccelatti)] [all the fore mentioned really, Sub-Industries, of, Italian High Art]. Before the Global Community (World really), was born, most, Civilizations, associated with themselves, based heavily, around, the concept, of, Indigenous Culture [culture, heavily regional, in nature (as perhaps, with, ingredients used, too)]. You also have though, what, they call, the World Community, today, heavily, centered around, America, and in many ways, based on, the exchange, of, ideas, of all kinds (and especially, Economic too). Today though, it is best believed, that, the World Community, be heavily, figured around, Sharia, Islam, and Sufism, as learned, disciplines, on how really, to, generate ideas (popular really), of all kinds. You too have, the International Community [based around, the UN, and even, too, Niger/Nubian Civilization], and in many ways too, linked, to, International Business (as with, Co-operations really); It is best foreseen though (as said/mentioned before), the creation, of, Italian based, 'Area of Confluences' (worldwide), driven mainly, by, the Italian language (in popular form), and in all, recreating, International Business (it being, rather, political n nature, in the present), into, International Business (as based, on, Chaordic Theory) [a world really, of, endless possibilities, not too, easy, to foresee in all, but in many ways, based on, the, Entertainment industries (but not, as with, Sports & Games, as, popularly seen, today) (as with, the World Cup too really), but really, on, what, they call, ''Gaming'] [Gaming, as with, perhaps, the Olympics, Festivals (including, the famed, Christmas, and as with, Christianity 1.0), Celebrations, Summits (Meets in all really), and finally too, Tourism/Holidaying/Vacationing, in all].
The Global Community:
The Global Community, in many ways, does refer, to, Political structures, often, put into place, in order, to, support, Human interactions (on a more, or less, Global scale). That in many ways, when, people, have what, some, refer to, as, Issues, various, Political structures, such as, Airports even, facilitate really, the interaction, of Humans, on a more, or less, Global perspective, in helping, deal, with these Issues [that in many ways too, the very, concept, of, the Nation, is today, highly tied, with, the Global Community, and its, supporting, Infrastructure (often, deemed, Infrastructural)]. In many ways in all, when people, use, terms, such as, America, Brazil or even, France today, they are not, really, referring, to the, forementioned, as Countries (really), but mainly, as, Nations [as with, the Infrastructural really] ['Les Blues', or even, 'Alliance Francaise' (AF), is, France today, as a Country].
In all, what is spoken about here, is not, too easy, to fathom in all, but in all really, it really is. In that, whenever, we face, Social, Political, or even, Economic Issues, we often, seek out, certain structures (often, of the Political form), for help. In todays World, these structures, are often, in, the form, of, Outlets (Social issues), Facilities (Political Issues), Institutes (Economic Issues). All this, is rather, well known in all, and a way, of dealing, with, all forms, of Issues, previously, seen, in America. However, the Italians, did, something more, with this, model, by in many ways, mechanizing it (as with, efficiency really). What this means, is that, they improved, the efficiency, needed, to run, the above, mentioned, structures, by introducing, certain, Key terms (perhaps), that have, come, to, very much, define, the World, of, Management (Operations): Value Chain Analysis, Chains of Command, and, Political Networks [all three, that have, come, to heavily, define, how, Outlets, Institutes, and, Facilities (respectively), are run, on, a Worldwide scale]. This was, in many ways, the Gift, by the Italians, to, World Civilization, as the only reason mainly, why, Civilization today (continues to run, as it does really, today), is because, of these, three mentioned, ideas (what is been said, is that, what constitutes, most, 'Countries' out there today, is nothing more really, than, Outlets, Facilities, and, Institutes too]. What makes the above three, rather, special, is that, they allowed, for, people, to have, their Issues (of all sorts), dealt with, on, a rather, Individual basis [as in going for example, to a shop outlet, and privately, ordering, a product, from, afar] [In previous times (as with America really), Outlets, Facilities, and Institutes, solved, Issues (of all forms), only, on, a group basis].
In other Civilizations, dealing, with Issues, was dealt with, rather, differently, from the World, created, by, the Italians. In European Civilization for instance, Issues (Social, Political, and Economic), were dealt with, on, a more or less, Individual basis (as with, certain, group formations too also), and through interactions, seen, in Architectural works, Parks, and Botanical Gardens (as with, Social, Political and Economic issues, respectively) [sounds rather strange, but Parks for instance, did house, certain, buildings (Castle like), that were, used, for all, forms, of, Meets (and not, meetings really)] [In Napoleanic France (as with, its collapse), the concept, of the Hotel, is also very much, used, as a, Political gathering spot] [Paris, as a City, existed, amidst, rather, many, Parks in all (like the, 'Palace of Versailles')] [The Golf course, is a, kind, of Park, that also, holds, Hotel like structures too, and in, the Victorian/Elizabethan worlds, was used, for, Political Meets, of all kinds]. In the Roman Civilization, the dealing, of, Social, Political, and Economic, Issues, occurred through, Social Spots (such as, Venues/Clubs, Restaurants, and even, 'Mall-like' structures), the Senate (and other, such, Political Institutions), and finally, Homes (of all kinds, of folks) respectively, in all. In the Greek Civilization, Issues, were rather, Individual in all, and people, dealt with them really (n all too), through, what is known, as the Council (Individual or Group) [for instance, the Greek Parliament really, was, a Council, not held really, oftenly (but only, when, trouble arose)] [To understand, the Greeks better, is to know, they, lived lives, based heavily, around, Materiality (as with Persian rags perhaps) (and not, Materialism)].

The three above [Californian homes], represent, in all, ways really, how, common, Greek Architectural Design (as with Homes mainly, really), actually, looked like [in that, Greece, once, did, look, like the pictures, above, and the homes above, are actually, of, Greek origins, as with, Greek Settlers, to, America] [Americanistas (Legion) really].
Th Egyptian Civilization, dealt with Issues, mainly, from, a Family perspective (as with, redefining even, what, Family meant, or was) [and the use, of Libraries too, as with, seeking, Knowledge, once, a solution, had been, met/found]. The Islamic/Byzantine Civilizations, dealt with, Issues (Social, Political, and Economic), from, the perspective, of, Books ( and learning), Prayer, and, Family Conferences in all (as with, important Family members, meeting, and the rest, of Family, simply, in many ways, kept, in the dark, as with, the Family's problems) [until, they hit, a certain age of course]. In World Civilizations, one has, the popularity, of, Political Precincts (such as, Government Offices, and, Government Officials, and including too, Government shops/outlets), in helping, deal, with, all kinds, of, Issues, faced [a model, rather still, popular, in, the so called, 'Third World'] [These Precincts, often, taking the form, of, Grounds (as with, Architecture really) (and in all, rather large, as with, modern, Eastern European, Cultures)].
That in many ways, was how, the, olden Civilizations, dealt, with Issues, of, all kinds, before, the Italian model, became, more or less, the norm (as with, a World Standard) [in the attempt really, to save, Civilization]. In South America, one finds, a rather, different model (in all). As in, the above mentioned, examples, refer mainly, to what, one, would call, Power Centers [with the exception, of, 'Third World' Power Precincts]. The Italians though (as with, standardized Outlets etc.), introduced, the very concept, of, Power Points [as with Points of Reference, Points of Contact, and, Points of Deployment too (in all)]. In South America, Power, as in dealing, with, issues, was deployed really, in, the form really, of, Positions [as with, seeking out, Influential Individuals, to help, meet, many, of ones, needs (as with, Literary Studies, Researching, and, Capoeiristas too)] [The whole Culture, of, having, personal doctors, personal bankers, personal lawyers, personal tutors, personal bodyguards, or even, personal counselors (of all kinds really)].
In a finality, for, the European Civilization at least, one finds, that, Glasgow (in Scotland), in most ways, represents, how, the traditional, European City, very much, looked like [before, destructive wars, and the rise, of, Modernity, and, Urban Developments in all].
La Bella Figura (a Redux):
To fully, see, Italia, as it really was (as with, its two levels really), is to, of course, be more or less, acquainted, with, the general sounds, Cadence, and even, general movements (as with, working really), seen, in this world; a world, heavily, in some ways (generally speaking that is), defined, by, Caravaggio (Michelangelo), Giacomo Casanova, and, finally too, Marin Malais [with Casanova, providing, the, Political Intrigues, Malais, the accompanying music, and, Caravaggios Art and Ideas, driving, this, 'Modern Italia'] [And all this, being supported really, in most ways really, by, the Italian Jesuits].

(sounds, as with, everyday, activity, and general working, noises too)
You also though, have, Arthurian (European) Italia, which, coexisted, with the above, Italia, and, consisted really, of folks, such as, Marie Fredriksson (a modern day, Marie de France), Per Gessle, Giambattista Vico (famed, but rather, unknown, Italian Philosopher), Donatello [famed Italian Artist, actually, living, during, the Italia times, and not, Roma (High Renaissance) times], and finally, famed, French King, King Louis XIV (who was, of, Italian origins).
