However, it is this very state of flux that provides increased opportunities for new alternatives and strategies to be put forward by those who have only the most positive interests at heart for humanity and our planet. In the U.S. today, we have a situation whereby:
- A significant portion of the potential electorate that would likely support positive change has been historically disaffected or discouraged.
- The portion closest to serving as "change agents" for a positive future paradigm is fragmented, philosophically and organizationally.
- One portion of the potential electorate identifies more with maintaining an old way of life to which they've grown accustomed.
- Another portion is generally disengaged from society and may fear positive change simply from lack of exposure to a higher vision.
One of the major contributions of The New America Papers is that it helps reorient leadership to the totality of the values and belief systems within which we all operate. By showing where there are commonalities of values and aspirations, new cooperative and integrative approaches can be developed to effectively transform basic, organizational relationships and, eventually, the community of communities that make up the sum total of any given business or social enterprise. The IOOW-2000 research has the power to reveal an accurate representation of core values, beliefs, attitudes, and preferences among our population. In turn, it has the potential to shape public opinion and inform key influencers in society. The typologies we've discovered can also be used to help monitor change and to provide new, predictive tools that bridge professed interests to and with behavior.

and the PFCI-SMS Map

Upper right (High PFCI/Low SMS): 15% of households tend to identify with a more positive and integrated future and do not express feeling a high level of social material stress.
Upper left (High PFCI/High SMS): 22% of households tend to identify with a more positive and integrated future and do express feeling a high level of social material stress.
Middle straddling region (Boundary Zone): 21% of households are very close to the boundary between two or more quadrants and, as such, cannot be reliably identified as belonging to one single quadrant.
Lower left (Low PFCI/High SMS): 25% of households tend not to identify with a more positive and integrated future and express feeling a high level of social material stress.
Lower right (Low PFCI/Low SMS): 18% of households do not identify with a more positive and integrated future and do not feel social material stress.
