POLI 1110: Ideology & Politics
28 November 2023
Provisional Vision
Finding the elements that raise everyone's standard of living is crucial to building a just
and peaceful society. This article addresses social justice and equality, environmental
sustainability, and inclusive government as the three fundamental components of a perfect
society. seeking to ascertain whether ideas put out by ideologies such as Confucianism, green
politics, and indigenous worldview align with the provisional vision.
With its emphasis on social justice, grassroots democracy, and ecological knowledge, the
provisional vision is strongly aligned with the tenets of green politics. Green politics is devoted
to inclusive governance, social equity, and environmental sustainability. The emphasis on
environmentally sustainable techniques, social justice, and democratic governance demonstrates
this alignment.
Green Politics shares the following characteristics with my vision:
Environmental Sustainability: Environmental sustainability is highly valued in green
politics. The Green politics promotes actions and legislation that lessen carbon emissions, save
the environment, and promote sustainable development. “Ecocentrism
prioritises healthy
ecosystems because they are a prerequisite to human health and wellbeing.” (Vézina, 2021) This
fits my ideal society in which environmental sustainability is valued highly.
Inclusive Governance:

Green Politics shows itself to be a powerful model of inclusive governance. This movement
offers a vision of a society where power is decentralized, voices are heard, and choices are made
with the welfare of both people and the earth in mind by promoting grassroots democracy,
political participation, and community involvement “Building a green economy means more than
just putting up solar panels. Profound changes to how we work, live, and consume will
need inclusive governance, to ensure that people are consulted and on board with change.”
(Inclusive Governance, 2021) which aligns with my vision of a society with inclusive and
participatory governance.
Social Justice and Equality: The goals of the Green Politics provide a guide for creating a
society in which each person can prosper and advance humankind as a whole in a world that is in
need of fairness and equality. “Human Security provides the following definition of human
security: “to protect the vital core of all human lives in ways that enhance human freedoms and
human fulfillment.” (Pink, 2021)
It is clear that there is limited compatibility between Confucianism and my Provisional
Vision. Although social peace is emphasized in both, my vision differs from Confucianism's due
to its hierarchical structure and lack of clear emphasis on environmental sustainability and
inclusive government. “The use of Confucianism to justify sociopolitical hierarchies continued in
the following dynasties but hierarchical interpretations of Confucianism were not left
unchallenged” (Ziliotti, 2022) The underlying emphasis on maintaining social order through
defined roles and connections may conflict with my goal of creating a society that actively
addresses prejudice and systematic inequality.
The differences between Confucianism and my
vision for a more just and sustainable future are further highlighted by the lack of a clear position
on inclusive government and environmental preservation.

Based on the insights gained from examining ideologies such as Confucianism and green
politics in relation to my provisional vision, I may consider changing certain components to
improve compatibility and fix potential flaws. In this list are some to reinforce my vision's
commitment to environmental sustainability, including targeted regulations or programs that
promote eco-friendly conduct. A few strategies to do this include increasing financing for clean
energy technologies, implementing regulations encouraging businesses and individuals to adopt
sustainable practices, and enhancing public transportation. acknowledging the importance of
open communication and constructive discourse in my vision. This is consistent with green
politics and has the potential to foster cooperation and communication by building a bridge
between viewpoints that might otherwise seem incompatible. Since civic education is essential to
promoting inclusive governance, I would consider incorporating educational initiatives within
my vision. This can mean fostering a sense of civic engagement, increasing awareness of one's
rights and obligations as citizens, and encouraging critical thinking regarding societal issues.
Modified versions of provision vision
Inclusive Governance: In my ideal society, the governance system would be incredibly
inclusive and participatory.
I think everyone should have an equal chance to gain from the
resources that the nature and society provide for us. Any discrimination that prevents us from
receiving equal treatment and justice under the law will be actively opposed.
There would be
actual public participation in decision-making, and government acts would be transparent and
answerable.
