The Institute for Commercial Literacy is dedicated to introducing and perfecting the art of commercial literacy delivery to children and young adults in a way that is fun and beneficial to them, their communities, and our global community for life. 

Every person living in the United States since the 1980s knows Accounting and Financial Literacy have been "oddly absent" from childhood education.  However,  few know how easy it could have been to teach, learn, and do with pencil and paper, followed up with basic technology too. 

Less people realize "General Business" was and is something that was also missing that would have been easy to include.  Most realize drafting,  mechanical drawing,  shop class,  and  home economics  disappeared, but they failed to ask why. They also failed to ask why general business courses needed to enliven those were never actually there either. 

Since the 2000's there have been more problems related to Technology Literacy and Organizational Literacy.  Too many commercial options from for profit companies without an honest baseline education as might be found in a people centric communist or socialist community has really made a mess of young and supple minds.  

Most can not truly comprehend the level to which multi-century corporate systems rooted in International Trading Companies and Insurance Companies have, in fact, shaped far more of their belief system about capitalism, commerce, and life than they would ever surmise today.

Most do not realize that there are in fact Global Insurance Companies operating today that have been in continuous operation for 300 to 400 years.  That is a fact that can change perceptions quickly about where we are today and why we are where we are. 

As of July 2024, we really are three decades beyond commercially safe and healthy  communities. We are entering our fourth decade with foundational educational curriculum problems that have been around for centuries, but have been compounded dramatically with the onset of "the Digitization of Society". At this point, it's gotten so bad, it seems long standing Insurance Companies may no longer be happy either. 

In order to change the way the world learns and does Commercial Literacy,  it must be done sooner rather than later, but in a fun way, because learning is best done when it's fun. 

That presents a small challenge given we aren't teaching comedy, acting, music, or Chocolateering,  but surely we can try to bring those in along with some additional old school creativity too?

From the get go, there are two areas of emphasis that we feel should be highlighted, to understand just what we are up against.  

1. Those two areas are both part of the "General Business" Category.  

2.  Those are "Business Strategy" and "Marketing".  

The chaotic world we are living in right now is in fact a result of 1) Business Strategy and 2) Marketing.  

1. At their core, Commercial Conspiracies are just "business strategies",  and it's powerful business strategies of others that are the source of all economic and physical pain right now. 

2. Without having the word "Commerce" on the tip of your tongue, those that spoke of "conspiracies" were blown off as "conspiracy theorists".  Put "Commercial" in front of Conspiracy and then convert that to foundational business strategy understanding, and you have mafias in your sites, because that is what mafias are.  All mafias are merely Commercial Conspiracists, yet nobody calls them that yet?  It's been too long. 

If we want a better world, we will need to do 1 of 2 things

1. Beat them at Business Strategy and Marketing OR 

2. Destroy this place and look forward to living the wonder of indigenous life again

Obviously, this paragraph may sound and feel like hyperbole, and maybe it should  find it's way further back in this website as it grows, but didn't want to sugar coat anything for the diehards of the Pride.  If we want to save the game of Commerce, we all need to come together quickly as there are those seeking to run away with the game on one side, and those opposing them on the other who seem to lack a larger understanding of the organization required to sustain their commercial worlds. Neither seem to appreciate nature, cats, or life in ways many of us do.
