Nothing is more tragic than to be limited by visions, desires and justifications presented to us as inevitable. The dominant form of globalization appears as the only way out that nothing could oppose. We are told that anyone who does not adjust to this fate will perish. At least, this is how the concept of globalization has been disseminated by governments, businesspeople, financiers - or their ideologues. We must rebel against this way of thinking.
Planetary citizenship requires nonconformist thought and action.
The first response to globalization is to acknowledge that it was produced by us, by human beings. It is not a monster to rule over us, but a human invention, with its limitations and possibilities like our own life condition. We must use a different approach to think about globalization, taking alternative globalizations into consideration. It is necessary that we, as citizens of the planet earth committed to democracy, build our own agenda, our own way of viewing issues and tasks, our own priorities. We can't ignore other approaches and their proposals, but let's not limit ourselves to them.
