Everything depends on our attitude and adaptation to the globally integrated and interdependent world
Question from the Internet:
“What makes social media a form of globalization?”
“Globalization” — existence in a globally integrated and fully interdependent world — is a state.
Moreover, it is a state that is “out of our hands”. Nature’s strict laws and evolution’s relentless drive towards a most optimal mutual integration of the whole Natural system obligated us to develop into this global and integral state.
Social media and everything else we observe in human society today are our own attempts to make sense of and use “globalization”. The problem is that we try to use even this fully integrated and interdependent state as we use everything: selfishly, subjectively, only for our own sake at the expense of others.
Thus all the problems we find and try to fight in relation to “globalization” have nothing to do with the state itself; everything depends on our own instinctive behaviour and attitude towards each other and towards the global, Natural system.
If we want to solve our mounting global problems that started to threaten our collective human survival, we will have to change ourselves and how we relate to each other and to Nature.
