  Understanding the 'Isms'
Active 'isms' are the 'isms' that are used by the proponents of the 'isms' to describe themselves.
And it is the belief of the adherents of the active 'isms', that adherence to whatever 'ism' they happen to choose gives them a right to interfere with the lives, freedom and property of those who are not the proponents of their 'ism'.
The commonality of all passive 'isms' is the belief of the inventors of the 'ism' that they have a right to interfere with the life, freedom and property of those whom they choose to label as 'ists'.

The objective of an ISMS is to incorporate safety into management and work practices at all levels, addressing all types of work and all types of hazards to ensure safety for the workers, the public, and the environment.
An ISMS provides the structure by which specific activities can be carried out by different organizations while adopting a uniform approach to protecting the workers, the public, and the environment.
Management commitment is demonstrated by the documented ISMS and policy statements that are communicated throughout the organization, managers' accountability for safety performance, and the visible presence of managers addressing safety issues.

 STSC CrossTalk - Securing Your Organization's Information Assets - May 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
ISMS is the life-cycle approach to implementing, maintaining, and improving the interrelated set of policies, controls, and procedures that ensure the security of an organization's information assets in a manner appropriate for its strategic objectives.
Like other management systems, the ISMS must be designed to meet certain functional requirements, have clearly defined stakeholders with roles and responsibilities clearly defined, and include appropriate mechanisms for collecting feedback and using it to improve the system.
An effective ISMS can go a long way toward reducing risk by identifying the most important assets, building appropriate risk-management solutions, and changing the culture of the organization so that information security management is intrinsic to everyone's job.

The guidelines require that the certification body proceed to an on site ISMS audit in no less than two stages, unless an alternate approach can be justified (for example, adapting the certification process to the needs of a very small organization).
One of the goals of the documentation audit is to allow the certification body to gain an understanding of the ISMS in the context of the organization’s security policy, objectives and approach to risk management.
b) Confirmation of the ISMS' compliance with all BS 7799 2 requirements and of its attainment of the organization’s policy objectives (includes checking that the organization has a system of processes in place to cover the requirements given in Clauses 4 to 7 inclusively of the BS 7799-2 standard).

 The isms of Legalism
Legalism is a philosophy that has given birth to a number of other isms that help to perpetuate and reinforce the concept.
They are isms that have negative connotations, and we like to accuse other parties in the Christian religion of being guilty of practicing the isms, but we have defined them and apply them so as to support our own prejudices and to exclude our traditional practices.
An objective and sincere examination of these isms and a comparison of them to our practices in the Churches of Christ will show that we have been throwing rocks while living in glass houses, so to speak.

 What is an ISMS

Because our physician members of the Illinois State Medical Society (ISMS) have expressed concern about the epidemic of obesity in this country, ISMS has compiled a list of resources that address proper nutrition and obesity prevention.
ISMS advocates a "back to basics approach" -- eating healthy and making exercise a part of any daily routine is a sound, time-tested approach to maintaining a healthy weight and decreasing one’s risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
In the current social atmosphere that seems to provide us with a different “miracle diet” every month, it is especially important to emphasize the physiological process of calorie consumption and calorie usage.

Adults and children alike, who are recipients of "isms", can be traumatized and thereby can find themselves developing ongoing trauma stress skills, as well as responding to physiological responses--both which could be transmitted via generations if the climate of societal traumas and their "triggers" persist throughout time.
Regardless if the abuse is actual or perceived, the fact that it is held as true and acted accordingly by the perceived abused group should be sufficient basis for a perceived neutral third party or intermediary to approach the conflicts from a power and non-power perspective, not as parties equal in power.
Furthermore, if societal trauma, resulting from the society's "isms", is indeed addressed as one of the major foundations for ongoing conflict and reactions to societal "triggers", then avenues for healing must also be included in any conflict resolution.

Here are 220 different isms, each representing a philosophical, political or moral doctrine or a belief system.
