Globalization and an individual

Abstract

Globalization is a process of all-embracing transformations and much more tight integration of natural and social ecosystems of various levels. At the same time, the globalization is a risky socially-constructed process which violates evolutionally shaped sustainability of the biosphere processes. Actually, the world as a set of sociobiotechincal systems has emerged. The article is focused on the impact of the above processes on micro-level, i.e. on an individual and its ecosystem which I’ve called the primary eco-structure. The explication of this notion, the critical changes in its structure and functions, means and forms of its adaptation to global challenges, and the substantial shifts in behavioral ‘dynamic stereotypes’ including metabolic processes between man and his/her environment are the main topics of the article.
