The heart of the community is its ranking system. The index is the cumulative result of the community's rating / ranking of nations, as well as of individual posts on the website. You can rank a country by clicking on the map of the world or on the country page.
Most community sites allow members to post, comment, like or dislike comments to give the viewer an understanding of where they stand on issues. We wanted to take it a step further and allow users to also rate a post between a -100 (Disagree) and +100 (Agree) sentiment scale. Individual ratings are available as well as consolidated rating for a post.
If these ratings or voices can be consolidated for important issues both domestic and international, we will have a better picture of what and how people think of and view these issues from their perspective.
The great challenge of the 21st century will not simply be to alleviate human suffering, tackle social, economic and environmental challenges through arbitrary decisions, but with a shared belief for a common good for this shared earth. This Ark.
