Architecture as a Function of the State
Generally,architecture plays an important role in the every state no matter in the ancient time or modern time.
As architecture as function of the state, therefore it controls by the power of the state.There are three component which are executive, legislative and judiciary in the state. Due to the identity and the form of the city is controlled by the ruler, the architectural form is also designed to satisfy the ruler as the main purpose. Therefore. every powerful empire has their own architectural style to identify their own empire.
In summary, every great empire has the great influence in various areas. However they also take some elements from another empire to their own design.And the architecture is based on the empire and controlled by the ruler.

Handling Disinformation
Information, in one aspect, is transferred by some people to another. The actor who makes the information to the receiver. Otherwise, disinformation can be defined as the wrong information or the information spread for the actors' purpose.
Zeitgeist is a german word which means the mainstream thinking of a certain era. When i watch this movie it seems like watching a book, watching a musical,watching a historical drama, watching a Sci-fi film. After watching this movie, I have some feelings:
1.Do not fully trust the authorities, not to establish your authority, do not worship idols, do not worship heroes. Authority is often services for the ruler to spread the disinformation.
2.Media, such as television, newspapers and magazines) makes you live in fantasy and illusion, it will dominate your thinking or prevent you to explore the truth. Media makes the fear and make people become more and more isolated.Media makes people thinking less and less.
3.Rulers are good at publicizing, even the land of freedom for the news, the rulers also can control the thinkings of most people.
4.Terrorist attack such as 9.11 is an illusion, attack the terroism is not an international war but an internal war. The ruler makes the terrorist attack, therefore, they intend to control the people's thinking and erod the basic human rights.
5.Of course, the ruler know that they are making lies to divert the attention and control the thinking of public's. Moreover, they like to do that.
6.This is an era of media proliferation. It was a era which is surrounded by the lies. It was an era which is controled by the ruler.
7.If the lies and the illusion is our zeitgeist, then may it end early.
8.Existing the patriotism and military that means we are nout civilized enough.
9.In the monetary system,iniflation is a historical inevitability, only the speed is fast or slow.
10.Monetary is based on the competitive. Slaves living in the shadow of debt and interest. Work makes people more and more stupid.
11.Monetary system creat the corruption.It is all the same in the world. Whether this country is a capitalist or a socialist.
12.Not the money, not the politicians, but technology is changing the life. The real problem in the life is the technology not the political.
13.The most important thing is the rational use of the earth's resources, but it can not live in the monetary system of the societies.
14.Monetary systerm blocks the development of clean energy.
What kind of the era is the next era?(Venus Project)?
1.No lack of the resources ( money becomes no value).
2.Technology is highly developed (most of the employment relationship is useless).
3.Energy is cleaner (no chemical fuel).
4.No food poisoning.
5.No hierachical sector of the community.
6.Cooperate with all the countries(no national boundaries, the government become meaningless).
7.Everyone security and free.
8.Religion has no meaning.
However, the final decision is made by the public. Moreover, they need to choose believe or not and find out that is truth information or disinformation.
