The Ecological Man
a symbol of harmony between humanity and nature
Founded in 2012, the Sociom Research Center is dedicated to mining Socioms — fundamental social principles that guide human behavior and collective well-being.
We investigate the deep structures of society, with a focus on economic and political systems, and explore how they affect our ability to live in balance with nature and one another.
We also study English as a global lingua franca and examine the role of education in fostering deeper, friendlier, and more meaningful communication across cultures.
Nature achieves its highest form through balance, not manipulation.
This does not mean harming it with awkward human interference, nor does it mean leaving it in a crude, neglected state. Rather, it means applying only the minimal and respectful touch - so that everything in nature may retain its ultimate good and beauty.
We must approach nature with humility and moderation.
