1. Introduction
1.1 Topicality
In this age our culture or environment is highly formed of an constant flow of influences from a marketing system. As from the industrial revolution untill now this culture is submitted by a florescence commercialism. A continue supply of external information which has to be processed and converted to an own identity.
Because of this overwhelming stream of information, humans are constantly triggered to make certain choices to define an own identity. As so subculturals were born. In all marketinglevels we deal with fast following trends. This is possible because of the large number of communicationsources whe are exposed to. The Western society has become a sort of slave of his own succes. We are dealing with an higly material influenced system of standards and values. Science and technology became the wheel of fortune.
Proportions between human and nature are fading out. A great part of this society forgets the importance of nature to survive. A reaction is that more and more humans get aware of the necessary for an greater conscience. More people are getting aware of the dangers which are involved when we don’t care about our environment.But there is a problem, nature is constantly reproducing herself, so that causes more and more people, we need more materials, products, food and space for this growing number of human beings.
1.1.2 Cradle to Cradle
It is possible to break the spiral of exhaustion of natural stocks, interesting is the philosophy of Braungart and McDonough, their Cradle to Cradle concept is based on the development of products which are made by full recycable raw materials. So detritus can be food in an everlasting circle. They even designed and build complete cities in China, which are producing more energy than they consume. This concept is based on downcylcing instead of upcycling. In their book Cradle to Cradle, Braungart and McDonough use an positive image of humanity, otherwise it is not possible to change this world. Their Cradle to Cradle concept is based on the creation of natural climate dat brings us ‘eternity’. Just like antz, people have to learn to that the consumed materials are traded to foodcircles, only than it is possible to erase the problems of overpopulations and exhausted stocks. Design for reincarnations, seems to be born.

1.1.3 Social environment
When we look at our social construction, we can notice that we are controlling with our left part of the brain, this is also our male half of the brain.The right part of the brain is recognized as the female part. So that is why this statement is not meant as an feministic ideal but it is a biological and scientifically proved statement, so both of the genders, are possesed with male and female parts. This is also cultural determination. In this male system, also females must be analytic polarising and rational to get a place in this monetary scheme. Female part of the brain is characterised of intuition, softness, and feelings. Also men have this character, but at this time, we do not always accept for humans to show this part of nature. I suggest that certainty is inextricable coupled to this monetary system we are living in. I also think that this need of control and be part of this society is a cause of fear. Fear is an product of our humanity but I guess that it is also coupled of this whole male reaction. Our society is divided in male and female behaviour, but I think that we need to see the importance of the coalescence of these two parts so that there are less bounderies. Male and female parts are not equal but they are equivalent. That’s why I suggest that we need both of the parts to survive.
Interesting is the research of gender. Scientists don’t know the real number of people which are born whith both genders but they think it it plausible that 4% of all humans are born as hermaphroditic also kwnown as transsexuals.
Intersexuality is not a new term, some old religions believed that Adam started his live as an hermafrodite, and later as in way of punishment, was splitted in two persons, male and female. Plato thought that there used to be three kinds of genders: male, female and hermaphrodites.
The third gender was lost in time. As from the middle ages until, in a certain way now, hermafrodites were forced to place thereselves in a certain genderrol, so they had to function as male or female. When such a person decided to switch to the other gender, they were punished by death. At 1600 in Scotland lived an hermaphrodite which was burried alive after he lived as an woman, and he was expecting an child with another woman.
Now most of this transgenders are immediatly after they are born, operated so they can be male or female. In our culture there is no place for us to be be both genders, you have to be male or female, otherwise people get confused, because it will not fit in our role patterns.

Balance between the both parts is needed. Female thinking is not always respected, it is underestimated, and is not taken seriously. Also the male thinking is under pressure. Even today it is not accepted for a man to cry, to wear dresses, and there are more examples of less respect. The love of life is far away, woods are chopped, animals and humans are killed, peoples starve because of hunger, and we all know. These problems are for a great part the cause of our western lifestyle, we dominate the whole world. Luckely more people are aware of these problems and slowly we are seemed to wake up from this ‘American dream’. Autonomous humans are looking for soul, inner thruth, rest, spirituality, meditation, biological and ecological ways of living. In this new awareness more and more children are born which are more intuitive, they have more faith in their own feelings, and more love for live. I believe people are slowly transmitted to an new age. An age of higher consciouness, an age of positivity and more based on the senses of humanity.
