It is 2017. Waves of positive change are happening. Out of necessity ...
For those Everyday People who wish to do more than the Basic Communication of the 'Positive Culture' message.
You Can 'Grow Your Own Positive Culture' Your Own Way ...
Positive + (ur) City / Town + dot net etc
You can do this with No Association with Us and you can network with whoever by mutual choice.
That is correct. Do a little research - Go to our Homepage and check out our Twitter accounts.
Investigate 'The Fourth Industrial Revolution' - search #IoT #IIoT #AI #M2M etc
Investigate WEForum Davos 2017, things are changing for the positive. Out of necessity.
Whatever your positive cause - #SDGs #Diversity #Inclusion #NoHate #NoRacism #LGBT #Equality #B2C #STEM #Makers etc
The list of positive causes is limitless. #NoCorruption #NoFakeNews #PressFreedom #NoPoverty #SustainableCities #Sustainability etc
Business-Society models are changing out of necessity. Check our Twitter accounts.
Get a Positive Domain - Do whatever you want.
Developing a #startup or startup culture? That in itself is a positive cause for economic growth.
Developing a positive #companyculture for your business and/or community? - Likewise.
Any community group, at a local level is in itself a positive cause. Network regionally or larger if you wish.
All these things are positive for economic growth and building stronger Local, National and Global Economies and Markets.
Get a Positive Domain as an investment for your positive cause or even the reseller market.

This is an Important Notice (Updated 26 February 2014)
Do Not Freak Out - We Are On The Same Planet.
Right now you are probably saying "What the Hell is This 'No Austerity' Site?"
or even perhaps "Why Should I Care?"
Relax. "No Austerity" just highlights the need for more solutions to help lessen economic hardship, stimulate economic growth and build stronger economies in and beyond difficult times.
It is NOT about 'Creating Hostile Actions or Overthrowing Governments' - Who really wants to send the Progress of Societies backwards 20 years or more? - We Certainly Don't.
We Want To CONSTRUCTIVELY Help People to Create 'Better Worlds' for People.
We simply believe that building Local, National and Global Communities of Positive Culture is a foundational necessity for building stronger economies.
'Positive Culture' is simply 'Helping People to Help Themselves and Others' - 'People Helping People'
Millions of People all over the World already 'Help People to Help Themselves and Others'. This is 'Positive Culture'.
'Positive Culture' is within many cultures.
'Positive Culture' is Multicultural.
'Positive Culture' is 'The Bigger Picture'.
We must CONTINUOUSLY grow more Local, National and Global 'Positive Cultures' and share more 'Positive Thinking and Actions' to CONSTRUCTIVELY influence our Current and Future Generations.
We believe the growth of more 'Positives Cultures' will influence Positive Factors which benefit Progress for People, and their Local, National and Global Communities, Economies and Markets.
The Global Music Campaign, Global Camera Campaign, Global Media Campaign and Global Translation Campaign are CONTINUOUS Campaigns for creating awareness and recognition for 'Positive Culture' and the Importance of 'People Helping People to Help Themselves and Others' in and beyond difficult times.
Our goal is for many Generations of Men, Women and Children to know the meaning of 'Positive Culture' even though they may choose not to interact.
HOWEVER THE WORLD HAS BEEN CHANGING VERY QUICKLY SINCE WE STARTED THIS GLOBAL CAMERA CAMPAIGN ...
Now there are more increased levels of Economic Hardship, Unemployment and Social Unrest in many countries.
WE NEED TO ACT NOW...
These campaigns are designed to Support People - To Inform and Influence People ...
To Be #Positive - People can Build Stronger Economies.
To #Believe - People Can Help Create 'Better Worlds' for Themselves and Others. People Can Help Create 'A Better World'.
To Keep The #Peace - People Can Influence People to keep Social Unrest at Safe Levels in their country and in other countries.
Hostilities, violence and crime will only increase hardship, make economic repair more difficult and increase recovery time.
We Must Not Let Our Economies Deteriorate. It is Important that People Help People to Build Stronger Economies and to Keep The Peace.
WE ARE CHANGING OUR CAMPAIGN TO INCREASE AWARENESS FOR PEOPLE
1. Previously we wanted 'Camerapositive' images and/or videos to feature the word 'Positive' for the purpose of influencing People to Grow More 'Positive Cultures'.
However we believe more emphasis should be put on featuring the word 'Peace' for the purpose of influencing People to KEEP THE PEACE. Hopefully this may also influence People in countries where Social Unrest has moved into Unsafe Levels.
2. We are increasing the promotion of Notices to highlight the reasons for these Campaign changes as from March 2014.
OUR OFFICIAL NOTICES WILL BE FEATURED ON THE FOLLOWING TWITTER ACCOUNTS:
@ThinkPlusAction
@Empowermental
We apologize to followers of these accounts for changes to services.
We apologize to People for not acting quickly enough in our efforts to help People.
I am Positive. I do need People to Help Me.
We do need People to Help Us to Help People.
We must be more Proactive to be less Reactive.
Please help to share campaign notices, to make 'Peace' or 'Positive' images and/or videos and to share those images and/or videos with your audiences.
Keep the #Peace. Mantener la #Paz. Maintient la #Paix. Mantenere la #Pace. Der #Frieden beibehalten.
Thank You - Positive
The above was an Important Notice (Updated 26 February 2014) ...

We can only assure people our focus is on the Well-Being of People.
Please read on ... We hope people are inspired by what follows:
Welcome to our first camera and video campaign - Camera Positive
This campaign simply gives photographers and videomakers a great opportunity to promote themselves and their work, and to also promote the importance of Positive Thinking in difficult times and beyond.
Many strategies (not just our ones) which are designed to help people to respond to impacts of the Global Economic Crisis, need support from Positive Thinking.
This campaign is designed to support Positive Thinking and Positive Actions necessary for the success of all such strategies, and for helping people in general.
Please understand that if you decide to take advantage of this opportunity you will be helping in a General Continuous Campaign for creating Awareness for Positive Thinking and Positive Actions.
We believe this to be important in inspiring people to help themselves, their families and others.
We believe this to be important in inspiring people to achieve their objectives.
Participation in this general campaign does NOT necessarily mean you endorse the Positive Thinking or Positive Actions associated with any of our specific strategies and campaigns, or those from other sources.
This Global Camera Campaign is a General Continuous Campaign to help create 'A Better World'.
This campaign is designed to achieve positive exposure for Image Makers all over the World while delivering a simple message - Be Positive - 'Help People to Help Themselves and Others'
Images are important to millions of people all over the World.
Images can appeal to our emotions and our thinking for the better.
Images can uplift our spirits in difficult times and inspire us to think and act more positively, more constructively.
As Image Makers already know - 'Images Can Inspire People To Achieve'.
Images have the power to create passion and drive and motivate us to better places.
We believe, as you read through the following image requirements and promotion guidelines, you will see how this simple campaign can grow more powerful and more effective as the number of participants increase.
This campaign becomes sustainable over time with growth in the number of participating photographers, videomakers, filmmakers, and various media industry people and audiences.
We believe this is a great self-promotion opportunity to increase your exposure and audience.
We believe this is a great opportunity to help create 'A Better World'.
The basic image requirements for this campaign are:
We encourage Image Makers to take and publish images of 'People Helping People to Help Themselves and Others'.
The image can promote any type of 'Assistance Organization'. It is important to keep a broad view of the following definition of an Assistance Organization.
Assistance Organization - Local, National and Global Community of People helping People to help Themselves and Others.
Assistance Organizations - Industry-based and Interest-based Communities which help People through education or by other actions.
We also encourage images of Individuals helping People to help Themselves and Others.
Images can promote your style of photography, videomaking or filmmaking, a style associated with your country or another country, or a combination of styles.
Images should capture the feelings of positivity, spirit and/or triumph. Images should be uplifting, inspirational, and have the power to create passion, drive and motivate viewers.
Any images eligible for this campaign can either feature or not feature one or more of the following words:
'Positive' or 'Believe' or 'Peace', or any combination of one or more of these words.
You can use a translation of any of the words 'Positive', 'Believe' and/or 'Peace' into a language of your choice, for example:
'Positiv', 'Positivo', 'Positif', 'Positief', 'Pozitiv' etc ...
This is recommended if you want to direct your exposure towards a specific target audience.
When publishing or promoting your 'Positive' images we recommend using any of the following hashtags:
#positive or #believe or #peace, or any combination of these hashtags.
or you could include the following hashtags:
#camerapositive or #biggerpicture or use your own hashtag to 'Grow Your Own' Positive Culture.
NOTE: @ThinkPlusAction, at their discretion, will only retweet Tweets and Mentions which contain #camerapositive and #biggerpicture hashtags.
This method focuses the search efforts of participating photographers, videomakers, filmmakers, and various media industry people and audiences who wish to investigate images from participants.
These methods focus the delivery of the simple message - 'Be Positive - 'Help People to Help Themselves and Others'
Consider this cycle for growth in the number of participants:
The more 'Positive' images increase in number ...
The more positive exposure for Image Makers, Assistance Organizations and their audiences ...
The more focus by photographers, videomakers, filmmakers, and various media industry people and other audiences who wish to investigate compositions from participants ...
The more new participants will be encouraged to create new 'Positive' images ...
The more 'Positive' images increase in number ... etc
All throughout this cycle, we will use our 'Positive Culture' Twitter account @ThinkPlusAction to encourage Media industry people to check out the Twitter accounts and profiles of participants, and through those profiles, links to their other works.
So having a Twitter account is important to this campaign and for the promotion of participants.
Twitter is a great way to help deliver messages of Positive Thinking and Positive Actions, and a great way to help create 'A Better World'.
Using our Twitter account we will encourage Photographers, Videomakers, Filmmakers, and other Industry people to get behind each other in this Camera Positive Campaign.
We will encourage Image Makers, Image Lovers, Assistance Organizations and their audiences to get behind one another.
We recommend using your own Twitter accounts to promote your 'Positive' images from time to time while promoting your other work.
Through self-promotion and promotion from others this campaign becomes sustainable as more and more established Image Makers and new emerging Image Makers decide to participate over time.
This Continuous Campaign has the potential to provide participants with the benefits of long-term market exposure.
This campaign has the long-term potential to deliver the simple message - Be Positive - 'Help People to Help Themselves and Others'.
