The global community has become irreversibly interdependent, with the constant movement of people, ideas, goods and resources.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have, it is a world that moves away from unequal, unstable, unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally, nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.
However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.
This is not bad, but the pace of globalisation has surpassed the capacity of the system to adjust to new realities of a more interdependent and integrated world.
Global interdependence today means that economic disasters in developing countries could create a backlash on developed countries.
In the globalized world that is ours, maybe we are moving towards a global village, but that global village brings in a lot of different people, a lot of different ideas, lots of different backgrounds, lots of different aspirations.
The further human society drifts away from nature, the less we understand interdependence.
The current global landscape is quite different from the not-too-distant past. The process of globalization has intensified, and the world is moving towards new forms of governance.
In a typically contradictory move, globalisation, while promoting economic integration among elites, has exacerbated sectarianism everywhere else.
Globalisation feels like a runaway train, out of control.
Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving set of consequences - some good, some bad and some unintended. It is the new reality.
