Yes, humanity as we know it on this globe is rapidly approaching (before the next century) a major tipping point. And the notion of community building is right on target with what's needed for humanity to not only survive the transition, but to also prevail beyond that event. In this regard, you might find the following books to be highly complimentary to and supportive of your own thinking: 1) Limits to Growth, 2) The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality, and 3) The Great Disruption: Why the Climate Crisis Will Bring On The End Of Shopping And The Birth Of A New World.
Very much in line with your concept for Community 3.), Chapter 7 of The End Of Growth addresses possible mechanisms for enabling a smooth(er) transition. One in particular, called "Transition Initiatives (or Towns), provides what might be a good elaboration on your ideas of what a 21st century community needs to be. Here's and excerpt from that chapter:
Transition Towns
Given the looming energy and environmental threats outlined in this book, it’s evident that something like the following is called for. We need a grassroots movement that educates people about these challenges and helps them develop strategies to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. It should aim to build community resilience, taking account of local vulnerabilities and opportunities. Ideally, this movement should frame its vision of the future in positive, inviting terms. It should aim to build a cooperative spirit among people with differing backgrounds and interests. While this movement should be rooted in local communities, its effectiveness would increase if it were loosely coordinated through national hubs and a global information center. The work of local groups should include the sharing of practical skills such as food production and storage, home insulation, and the development and use of energy conserving technologies. The movement should be non-authoritarian but should hold efficient meetings, training participants in effective, inclusive decision-making methods.
That may sound like a tall order. But here’s some good news: that movement already exists. It’s called Transition Initiatives, and communities that have one of these initiatives often call themselves Transition Towns.4 The “transition” that’s being referred to is away from our current growth-based, fossil-fueled economy and toward a future economy that is not only sustainable but also fulfilling and interesting for all concerned. Transition Initiatives got their start in 2005 in Britain through the work of a Permaculture teacher named Rob Hopkins. In his Transition Handbook, Hopkins tells how he came up with the strategy, and sets forth a range of useful guidelines for groups.5 Nearly all of Rob’s prose is saturated with irrepressible optimism:
Transition Initiatives are not the only response to peak oil and climate change; any coherent national response will also need government and business responses at all levels. However, unless we can create this sense of anticipation, elation and a collective call to adventure on a wider scale, any government responses will be doomed to failure, or will need to battle proactively against the will of the people.... Rebuilding local agriculture and food production, localizing energy production, rethinking healthcare, rediscovering local building materials in the context of zero energy building, rethinking how we manage waste, all build resilience and offer the potential of an extraordinary renaissance — economic, cultural and spiritual.6 Hopkins is careful to call Transition a “research project”; in a “cheerful disclaimer” on the Transition website he points out that there is no guarantee of success, because what is being attempted is unprecedented. We truly don’t know if this will work. Transition is a social experiment on a massive scale. What we are convinced of is this: • if we wait for the governments, it’ll be too little, too late • if we act as individuals, it’ll be too little • but if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time.7

Let me also be COMPLETELY upfront about my political leanings/bias- I'm very much a progressive- but that said, if the Democrats had filibustered defense funding during a Republican president the GOP would be screaming about not supporting our troops.

Just read in the NYT this morning (http://nyti.ms/bBnLMZ) that 27 states have adopted the new national education standards policy. I'm worried because I feel like these new standards policies are too focused on fundamentals and ignoring the skills that are becoming more important for success like computer skills. I'm not involved enough in education to know whether I am right or wrong, but based on the things I have read I'm a little concerned. You guys are the experts, what are you thinking?

Is it by standardized testing to measure the results of accomplishing this? I feel that is something yet to be seen. My personal belief, the whole dang education system needs a rest & overhaul (and our culture vaule education more than it does)!! The question I ask, does the same fundamentals from 30 years ago that were great building blocks apply to today's world? My thoughts are probably not. Definately the teaching styles probably need to be changed as well.

"Don't want the job too much": I met with former Secretary of State George Schultz on Friday. Politics aside, he struck me as a remarkably thoughtful and capable statesman. Perhaps his most poignant advice was on knowing where your lines of ethics and principle are and being willing to walk away from extraordinarily attractive opportunities when they're crossed. Have you thought critically about where your lines are? Have you walked away from attractive opportunities on of a matter of principle?

I think the company has a right to ask you to not discuss personal beliefs while at work. While working at a given company you are expected to represent that company's beliefs and not your own. That said, I think there are probably companies whose mission aligns much more closely with your own and would welcome having such a strong believer as part of their team. I would strongly recommend you reach out to these types of organizations and see if they are hiring.
Unfortunately, we do give up certain rights when we agree to work for a company. That is why it's so important to find a company that aligns with our own beliefs. And, when we find that the company we are working for does not align with our beliefs, why it is important to move on.
I think this is true far beyond Jesse's very specific religious case study, and is true with any belief. If, for example, you found out the company was doing something illegal, would you leave? What if the company offered you some of the proceeds?
As someone who works freelance, I think it's important to choose your clients carefully; but I also think there are times where you need to think critically about where exactly your personal lines are and decide that sometimes perhaps your personal beliefs have to take a back burner (not necessarily ethical beliefs, but other personal beliefs).
An interesting recent example is Elana Kagan's nomination as supreme crt. judge and the controversy around the role she played in trying to ban the military from recruiting on Harvard's grounds since they do not allow gays in the military. Essentially all she did was sign a document supporting a law suit saying this should be allowed to happen based on the idea that Harvard would not allow any other un-equal opportunity employer to recruit there, but it was over turned.... they were allowed to recruit anyway.

I have always been conflicted over women's tendency to be humble just because I'm a confident, ambitious, and intelligent woman and yet I still find myself putting myself down when someone compliments as a way of showing humility. I'm currently trying to break that habit, but I think a lot of gender issues lies in the fact that societies tend to assign traits to specific genders. For instance, aggressiveness linked to men, humility and compassion to women. Problems come up when people don't "play" their respective and expected parts and others don't know how to react or react negatively.
