This List covers today 65 achievements of global harmony since 1947, shown in the different places of the world and in four spheres of humanity: social, information, organizational and economic. They are distributed o­n o­ne in a year o­n average. These achievements are important for humanity as the patterns of harmony for all people and nations. Each of achievements is a revolutionary change, qualitative shift and corresponding direction of harmonization within these spheres and between them. The multitude of these directions makes a modern tendency of global harmonious change and epoch of harmony globalisation. What is a historical meaning and importance of this great modern change? We emphasize four its aspects.

1. The modern harmonious change is characterized by two opposite properties. o­n the o­ne hand, from the point of view of diversity, place, time, quality, degree and intensity of the achievements/directions of harmonization, it is a chaotic and disharmonious process of bifurcation of an industrial civilization or industrialism. o­n the other hand, all directions of harmonization have a united quality of nonviolence and common vector toward harmony. This allows to unite all similar, while unsystematic, directions and their achievements in the general tendency of “global harmonious change” (“harmonious revolution”) as a transition from industrial to an information harmonious civilization or harmonism. This civilization is born from chaos of industrialism and its spontaneous directions of harmonization.History transforms chaos into harmony. It occurs through a birth among the listed below 65 achievements/directions of harmonization a science of social and individual harmony - Tetrasociology, which allows to understand the fundamental elements and laws of harmony and, hence, to manage them. In this way the spontaneous chaos turns to conscious harmony. Therefore the List expresses it as coming epoch of a harmonious civilization of humanity.

2. The global harmonious change of modernity is a harmony alternative to disharmony of two basic forms of industrialism: capitalism and socialism. The real alternative of modernity is not making the alternative capitalism-socialism as both of them are identical in their industrial chaotic state and they differ o­nly by priority of private or state ownership. The real alternative of modernity is made the alternative of industrialism-harmonism. The property question is not key o­ne. But the question of organisation or integrity (whole) of all life of humanity, including property as the subordinated aspect is the key. The spontaneous market and competitive organisation of industrialism exhausted itself. It is not capable to answer o­n the global challenges; therefore it gradually gives the way to the conscious (controllable) market and competitive-partner organisation of harmonism. 65 achievements of global harmony testify about increase, acceleration and strengthening of the harmonism alternative. The harmony alternative aspires to harmony of alternatives, to harmony of their diversity and plurality, presented in the list below.

3. The global harmonious change of modernity historically comes in the stead of capitalism and socialism confrontation in the 20^th century. Their alternative dominated until 1989. Since 1990, with collapse of world socialist system led by the USSR and notable approach of information society there was a change of alternatives. To the place of alternative of capitalism-socialism the alternative industrialism-harmonism comes. From 65 achievements 20 have arisen up to 1990 (for 43 years) and 45 – since 1990 (for 20 years), that proves the sharp historical acceleration of the global harmonization tendency.

Since 1990, humankind entered essentially a new epoch, consisting of two fundamental long tendencies connected by two opposing civilization processes: decline of an industrial civilization and rising of a harmonious civilization.

The first trend leads humanity to self-destruction. Threats of mankind’s self-destruction are shown by the expansion and strengthening of the following pernicious factors: nuclear weaponry, environmental pollution, climate change, corruption, a growing gap between rich and poor countries, terrorism, pornography and violence o­n the Internet, corporate conglomeration of television and other mass medias, armed confrontation between nations and local civilizations.They are expressed especially sharply in the global crises that involve abuses regarding economics, currency, power, food, demographics, politics, and values.

The second trend leads humanity o­n a qualitatively new, unknown, historical step of global peace, common good and sustainable harmonious development.This tendency of a modern epoch is expressed in the listed 65 achievements/directions of global harmonization. They define the basic quality of a modern epoch.

Harmonism is the third way of social development of humanity, alternative to capitalism and socialism. o­n this way there is a synthesis of the achievements of capitalism and socialism at qualitatively new level of a global information society and harmonious civilization.

4. The global harmonious change of modernity, presented today by 65 achievements/directions, expresses a rise of culture of harmonism or culture of a harmonious civilization. This culture is, first of all, a culture of harmonious peace as the major characteristic of harmonious holistic humanity. The culture of harmonism excludes wars and violence. It replaces dominating industrial culture of war and industrial peace culture subordinated to it as a break between wars and preparations to them. The culture of harmonism is also culture of a conscious sustainable development of humanity, which the industrial culture is powerless to provide. The culture of harmonism provides the common good and prosperity to all nations but the industrial culture was not capable to make that. The culture of harmonism is capable to solve all global problems o­n all aspects of holistic humanity. This culture is expressed today in 59 achievements/directions of global harmonization. It is born in all the spheres of humanity. It arises in the modern epoch changing its quality and giving to it character of an epoch of global harmonization. The historical meaning and importance of harmonious change of modernity consists in it. It is expressed in its achievements listed below.

The List does not include the world famous masterpieces of global harmony since the most ancient time, from the Egyptian Pyramids, Parthenon in Athens, etc. Probably, many thousands of the harmony achievements will gather in world history and culture if to assume, that to each of 3 thousand human ethnicities belongs o­n o­ne achievement of harmony at least. The future science should establish it. Our List is limited o­nly by the modern period since 1947 and o­nly some countries. It is opened for adjustments and additions. The GHA will immortalize a name of everyone who will add this list with new achievement of the global harmony unknown to us.
