Weltanschauung: Pardon Me?

Weltanschauung: Pardon Me!

I think if my kid said Weltanschauung to me I might start looking for a bar of soap; but hopefully I would slow down and figure out what it actually means.

Well according to the Weltanschauung Page at Active Rain it means the guiding principals and philosophy of an organization; a world view. So why didn't they say so?

I guess I am an old fart (or rapidly becoming one). There was a day when it was enough to be honest and work hard. In fact I think those are two things that are very good, good for all concerned, and sadly not well appreciated these days. But down off my soap box.

This Weltanschauung is a pretty good thing. It really sets down the philosophy of Active Rain. A friend wants counseled me to know my values and decide how I would handle certain tough ethical situations in advance; because if you wait until you are in the middle of the situation you might not make correct decision. You will let your emotions sway your values.

I went over the Active Rain Weltanschauung again today and it is a pretty good set of standards. Not only that Active Rain has stuck by them.

I find 6-9 (go read them) are essential to the success of Active Rain, but at the same time not things that you would see in many businesses. They have allowed us to blast them and even sponsors in the Posts and Comments. There has been very little if any censorship. I think most of the Censorship is not really formal but more of a respect for each other by members as it is an open forum; there is no hiding behind the anonymity of the the Web.

I am sure there are many issues that come up. It is great that Active Rain has a set of principals they can look to when making a decision about what to do.
