Global society has been evolving for millennia toward convergence through a long, slow, trial and error process of subconscious change driven by the pressure of circumstances and events. WAAS has studied the principles and theory of social transformation, guided by growing awareness of the need and opportunity to direct our collective energies and actions toward a better common future. A successful transformation involves several elements: a goal that is widely perceived to be desirable or essential to meet human aspirations, an effective strategy or method for accelerating the transition, a change in organization, and a social process for rapid transmission, imitation, and adoption by society at large. WAAS’ theory of Social Transformation enables humanity to make the process of societal change conscious, faster and more effective.
