Prime Minister Brown predicts that foreign policy will never be the same again. No longer with the social elite be in charge of making decisions on behalf of everyone else. With the internet, anybody can publish their views and connect with other people from all around the world instantaneously. It’s the people who reach out and use these new tools of communication who are going to hold sway in a Global Society and bring to light the issues and points-of-view that will spark real action.

Don’t think this grandiose idea doesn’t apply directly to you. The true power of blogging and communicating online may still be undiscovered, but at its most base level it’s still a tool that embodies the Global Society idea. Whether you’re a casual blogger or a business owner, there are many benefits to be gained from blogging and building a community around niche subjects.

Take a look at Gordon Brown’s talk and think about how this might apply to you, your ideas, or your business, and make a decision about the role you want to play in dawn of the Global Society.
