<\/i><\/i><\/span>Origin<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

What is the origin of the Red value system?<\/h2>\n

Period:
\n<\/span>10,000 years ago (copper processing)
\nGeographical location:
\n<\/span>Near East
\nFounders:
\n<\/span>Mesopotamians
\nIn reaction to:
\n<\/span>When the group\u2019s security, certainty and safety are satisfied (the Purple themes), energies will be released. The individual discovers his own free will, his need for autonomy, liberates himself from the save (family) clan and bravely exercises his will on his environment. Purple coherence, safety and superstition do not offer enough space for personal contribution and autonomy. If you want to change things, you either have to do it outside of the clan or by dethroning the chieftain. Credibility of the Purple leaders is being undermined. And while you are dethroning one leader, why not also dethrone the leader of another nearby clan? Rivalry about habitats and possessions will be rewarded to the strongest. Anger emerges and power and gratification are now for the first time in history used for individual development, personal enrichment and liberation from a save environment are born.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
