Globalization - Chimera, Trand or Necessity?
Abstract
The paper discusses the phenomenon of globalization from the perspective: * the need and quality of the process, as it is currently implemented, * the benefits and secondary aspects that accompany it and * the structural changes generated by the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The argumentation is based on observations, studies and statistics provided by researchers, analysts, international profile bodies. From the author's perspective, the activation of the latent valences available to globalization and which can relocate the phenomenon to much higher levels than currently revealed, becomes possible only if at least three elements are met: * interconnection of resources (people, information, technology), * common consciousness generated by a holistic understanding of the purpose and the optimal mode of action and * synergistic action. This work is defined by the author's descriptions, multidisciplinarity of information, opinions and conclusions and has the role of examining aspects of globalization that, through a slight new approach, can reach lives in a different way, closer to human potential.
