LIKE IT OR NOT.

Globalization to most of us means buying more and more of our daily goods from somewhere else.

The term human globalization however, brings with it a different thrust, a different significance based on our humanity and not merely on our economic, political or military prowess.

As we view the humanizing process of the world, we see that it is bringing with it the underlying concepts of liberty, fraternity and equality that have seeped into all the cultures of the earth for many decades.

America was the leader and is still the symbol that carries all these characteristics although grown somewhat tarnished over the yeas.

Human globalizations has the meaning that the whole earth as an entity is now occupied by an organized species,  the human race and where it reigns superior.

Our technology puts us in constant and immediate contact with each other, making us alert to everything and anything that happens on the earth and to any of us.

Given this overall view of our planet under the occupancy of human beings we are yet to be able control our economic, political and military prowess and guide our younger urges of liberty, fraternity and equality.

Humanity still needs to deal with tyranny at all levels. We cannot merely view it and analyze it. We must now learn to act against and to prevent it.

The whole world, if not all governments wants to turn to the manner in which we can give answers to these newer concepts and provide the power and organization to overcome our naked economic drives, political urges and military prowess.

Like it or not, other peoples still turn to us for our gentle leadership and not for our military exercise of power. We've been given that worldly responsibility and mainly by the example we set within our own nation.  We are expected to accept this responsibility and must therefore learn how to carefully express and exercise this newly required leadership role in the world of today.
