How do human rights change in a globally integrated world?

Question from the Internet:

“What are the negative impacts of globalization on human rights?”

“Globalization” — existence in a globally integrated and interdependent world is obligated by Nature’s laws and evolution. Humanity — as an integral part of Nature, has to become like the Natural system, finely balanced and mutually integrated.

In our case — in contrast to the rest of the instinctively integrated system — this process has to unfold with our conscious and purposeful participation.

We ourselves need to come to understand and “viscerally” feel that we are inevitably interdependent as single cells in a living body. As a result, we will need to rebuild human interconnection and the fabric of human society to match Nature’s mutually integrated arrangement. We will have to learn how to keep and contribute to the general balance, and homeostasis life depends on.

As a result, our idea about “human rights” will also change.

Instead of the illusory individual rights — thinking that an individual is independent of others and can do and dream of whatever one wants — we will have to recognize our only right and obligation: to selflessly and unconditionally and mutually serve and support each other like cells and organs of our own biological body do.
