Introduction 

This is one among a series of articles that has been done by Timologyvok group members and we are proud to share its content freely and readily while welcoming criticism and comments that will help us dig deep into the world of research and academia, which will either help in bettering the articles or improve future articles, Welcome to the world of Timology The development and production of modern timology has made highlights on a number of issues which are diverse and varied.

The interaction of time and the environment has had an effect on many areas but of notable concern is the time-environment interaction theory (Agnostic Development Theory) which is offering explanation to a number of social phenomenons and perhaps to the philosophical foundation of change in the environment. Perhaps of the greatest interest is the behaviour of an individual at a point when one is succumbing to the unprecedented effect of change of status quo as a result of failing to attain a minimum level of social maturity just enough to appreciate the change in the environment, that is a negative submission.

Positvely this would be a humbling moment or acceptance mood of competition. It is in this relationship that I have attempted to examine the submission effect of change in the social environment. Since here in, I’m looking at the Social Environment, I will only look at the Submission Effect on it, thus the Social Environment Submission Effect, which attempts to explain certain behaviours’ in group dynamics as would be exhibited in a mood of social competition

The social submission

The social submission and its effect go together –reaction and its effect-which are inseparable and comes as a result of the mood and influence of the time interaction with the environment, sometimes so fast that one left wondering if it were not possible to hold on time or make a rewind or sometimes so slow that a victim is left resigned to the whims of fate.

The Social Environment Submission Effect

This is the reaction of an individual or groups of people which happens either at a very low point or at a very high point in one’s life when succumbing to the environmental pressures or dictates and or yielding to the environment experiences. In essence, it is either a reaction to failure or success, ability or inability to meet one’s expectations, hopes and aspirations or desires. At this point one is submitting to the environmental experiences following the failure of or the success of getting the desired or expected results.

Levels of Manifestations

The environment submission effects are usually manifested at various levels. These are: 

(I) Individual level submission 

(II) Social level submission 

(III) Universal level submission At the individual level, this happens to a person as an individual, though elicited by a group dynamics. This is only expected at the individual level. The individual becomes the victim and the group dynamics poses the hallo effect. At the social level, the effect involves either one in a crowd or group of individuals, or to several people in a crowd or group. Universally, the effect is seen communally at societal or global level.

Social Environment Submission Effect at Individual level

There are four main categories of this effect at individual level which includes:

(a) The breakdown Effect 
This includes the shedding of tears in public places or falling down after receiving unexpected announcement, wailing in public among others done either in private or public domain or in isolation or jointly with others of common interest or with similar or dissimilar experiences(funs, supporters, foe) Look at

the submission moment occasioned by the just concluded Tusker Project Fame Season 4-Grand Finale-where Davies submission moment set the tempo and mood of the finals when it captured the attention of his funs, including the audience, when the curtain fell with him as the winner. You could tell that this was the same with the judges. This is the breakdown moment when the victim submits to the hands of fate and destiny while those religious enough would just pray that God give them the required peace of mind to enable them go through as they cannot reverse the situation handed over by fate. 

To others it will be a crowning moment while to some it is a resigning moment. The effect is usually great in prominent people or celebrities and other public figures or acquaintances .It can either be due to positive or negative expectations. Examples of victims in this category include: 1 Models failing to win the hotly contested pageant(auditions 2 Examination candidates either failing or passing the most dreaded examination 3 Win-lose of a political seat 4 Strikes and or demonstrations by workers students 5 bride or groom failing to impress or wed 

(b) The Suicide Effect 
This effect comes about when ones expectations have been compromised by the social environment and to a greater extent when one fails to attain the minimum social maturity level. Here ones philosophical projection of life is in jeopardy and is greatly challenged, compounded by a feeling of failure to meet ones perceived obligations and life responsibilities. In a nutshell, life has totally lost meaning and the individual is left wallowing and swimming in the flood of frustration, where suicide is the only available option for rescue from public embarrassment 
(c) The Public Ridicule Effect 
The insults and accusations which are overreaction to an environmental situation where the feeling of invasion or threat to ones comfort or feelings takes centre stage. This Hysteria effect which is quite common and is either a way of expressing feelings positively or negatively where one collapses and breaks down. 
(d) The winning Effect 
This is the celebration effect. It is what would be exhibited when there has been a successful launch of an innovation or invention or programme or a project and is sometimes marked by colour and pomp.

Situations that will elicit environment submission effect at the Individual level

(a) Failure to achieve what one expected

(b) When there is conflict of interest which is externally imposed

(c) Breakdown of one’s philosophical projection in life

(d) Failure to attain a minimum social maturity level

(e) The invasion of one’s positive feelings

Social Environment Submission 
Effect at Social level 
This is a group elicited effect and can happen either to an individual in a group or crowd due to group dynamics or happen to several individuals in the same crowd or group. This is usually manifested in form of fanaticism as seen in religious group followings or soccer fraternity or strike or demonstration by workers or students in schools It can either be negative yet destructive including the loss of life or positively and rewarding and is expressed as seen in social life where there are achievements of the desired or expected result in a win-lose situation 

Environmental perception 
This is a level of understanding that follows a willingness of change necessitated by deliberate submission of an individual to an environment of which he is a part of and its entity With reference to my comment I posted on Pinballmodels Msa on 04 December http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinballmodels.com%2F&h=ec5fd 
‘‘How do you regard and call the mood precipitated by the falling of the curtains at the end of an audition, where your greatest asset has just been declared either a winner or a first runner-up? Well, I'm doing an article on this Submission Moment to prepare your crew and candidates and widen their perspective of participating in such events with great following and to expand their knowledge of the environment. Do you welcome this? Just give me time’’. Website http://www,pinballmodels.com. 

Submission moment which is also known as " the Breaking Moment" is the crucial moment brought about by the effect of the last word which sets in motion the chain reaction that would mark the end of high expectation and resigning to the dictate of time

Reasons for submitting to an environmental experience

One can succumb to the environmental whims of life depending on whether he has attained a reasonable level (the minimum level of understanding the environment which is here referred to as Environmental Maturity 
By definition this is a maturity level, or level of understanding reached by an individual to help him interact freely and contribute to the continuity of the existence as a social entity of the environment. It for the sake of this discussion environmental maturity have been divided into:

Categories of maturity thus Academic maturity; social maturity; political maturity; spiritual maturity;

Academic maturity 
This is a point of understanding and or acceptance where one does not need to subscribe to a given line of thought without first putting it into a philosophical test. It is a minimum level of reflection that permits the cycle of understanding, change and co-operation as outlined in the Agnostic Development Theory (the time-environment interaction theory) Naturally, here one is endowed with sound intellectual acumen, to suggest a point of view regarding a situation with reference to the environment without prejudice. 

Social maturity
This is level or a point of understanding and or acceptance where one does not need to subscribe to a given set of values blindly without reflection to the subscribed standard norms of behaviour. 

Political maturity This is a point of understanding and or acceptance where one does not need to subscribe to a given political ideology or following. One is usually left in mind with a neutral point as he is never swayed or pulled by any side of the political divide. One feels comfortable with his justified stance.

Spiritual maturity

Is a point of understanding and or acceptance where one does not need to subscribe to a skewed line of interpretation or understanding. This is a point where an individual reaches a reasonable level of understanding which can identify a pet-referee trying to control the clucking of hens in a range or the whistling of birds in their nests.

Shaping The Destiny of Humanity

Certain events in my life pokes me like a lover poking the heart of the beloved. Sometimes it becomes so true that I remember clearly destiny songs and love ballads that has tendencies to touch on and perhaps shape the destiny of Humanity.When I remember the love quote,

 "My Love Destiny is in Your Hands"

then the philosophical question that arises is Existence?What is Destiny and Why must there be destiny and existence? The current Modern Man is a product of a vast past without a beginning and an everlasting future characterised by uncertain destiny.As modernity sets precedent,so civility takes centre stage to define the comfort and harmony of Humanity.Destiny is ....while fate....as functions of Existence Championing The Course of Knowledge For Humanity is actually the shaping or is it reshaping of the destiny of humanity in course of existence.Through the generation and use of knowledge the world over through inventions, innovation,research.... 

Characteristic Of Love

From the Quest Of Love are very many interludes of love expressed in a way unique to itself,http://timologyvok.blogspot.com/2011/01/quest-of-love.html  and out of these what takes the centre of this discussion is what Eileen Wakesho posted in her wall,"When not nurtured,love dies,true or false?" The nurturing is done in the mind then other things follow(The Mind As An Object Of Love) The mind absorbs the echoes oh hatred and listens to the Whispers Of Love (http://timologyvok.blogspot.com/2011/11/whispers-of-love.html)

"Desert of Unspoken Words where Question Marks Live"

In this modern times Intellectual cross-fertilization is the in thing and is awash everywhere and is necesary to spread the grains of wisdom and knowledge.This is happening bot in the internet and intranet in a big way,it is always important to ensure that we pass out information to those who are in need,could be in need or will be in.The grains of wisdom are being scattered and are requiring correct landing to facilitate the germination of wisdom.We got new ideas,so we need to talk,we need to listen and we need to exchange these as we interact in the environment of knowledge.

In making A Survey of the Interaction of  the Timology Concepts with the Human Race in the Internet (http://timologyvok.blogspot.com/2012/04/a-survey-of-the-interaction-of-the-timology-concepts-with-the-human-race.html) I came to a vivid revelation that it is a human nature to decide what we want to hear and interact with and not what we should be interacting with.It is a human tendency to listen to what we want to hear and not to listen to what we should be told.We do tend to determine what Knowledge,Wisdom and Facts that we want to associate with interact with and even use but painstakingly point out that the trio does not stop to exist simply because they are neglected or not defended.

Timology is falling squarely in this as it has been existing in its crudest form as Ancient Timology and is now being refined as a set of knowledge in Modern Timology.This form of knowledge has been there for as long as humanity has been counting and reckoning with time,is bound to be for as long as the Universe exist in its present form or modified form.

Sometimes a new thing is met by a lot of scepticism and pessimisms that diverse feelings often abound with so many questions than answers coming to the surface.Where people may be lacking the right approaches and understanding of  what is anew people often come up with different versions of their understanding on the same.Timology is not an exception for those who are not patience enough have dubbed it a cult with an inclination to devil worshipping.

Timology as a branch of knowledge is getting different grant approaches to the same with some placing it where it exactly belong while others associate it with culticism and devel worshipping.In its latter perception,it is more of a

 "desert of unspoken words where question marks live and a virgin island of wisdom where isolation and loneliness prevail and a rich store for food for thought where suspicion is its recipe for survival" 

Today,in this great expanse of inspirational knowledge that has constituted an area of Timology as a study of Time Analysis and Continuity of Existence,which has been the forerunner of Timology Concepts.more can be found and read on the link http://timologyvok.blogspot.com/2012/04/desert-of-unspoken-words-where-question-marks-live/html
