Document Summary
All other systems ( autocracy and communism) have failed. No one is in charge of globalization, follows a natural course. Against how globalization is in today worlds. Eco justice, carbon tax, indigenous rights etc. Key criticisms: mainly driven by westerners (white saviour complex), unorganized, hypocritical, ignores positives and exaggerates negatives. Combines 3 core elements: economic populism (anti free trade, strong (ethnic) nationalism ( anti immigrant, conservative beliefs ( anti lgbtq rights) We are part of a larger global community. Duties and responsibilities shaped by global ethic . Why has global citizenship emerged: global problems, ie global warming, globalization makes it feasible in practice. Ultimate elegance should be to the global community as all other identities are arbitrary. There can not be a global ethic as these are all socially constructed values and norms. Using a global ethic can be used to impose views on others.
