About this ebook
This volume makes the case for global visioning: the collective process of looking at a larger picture and building common ground for the future. The contributors agree that only by such a process will people be able to address mounting problems like global warming, war, terrorism, and poverty, which threaten the Earthâs population. This latest volume in the Peace & Policy series addresses three main themes. “On Spirituality and Ethicsâ advocates an international culture of nonviolence. âInternational and Transnational Relationsâ makes a case for global fellowship. âOn Education and Cultureâ argues that educating children is the first step in reforming the world. The contributors seek solutions to the question of how people can start seeing issues from a global point of view, rather than from narrow national perspectives. In keeping with the global nature and scope of the worldâs problems, the contributions come from very diverse countries, including Japan, Morocco, South Africa, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and the United States. This work will inspire participation in this much-needed exercise of collective global problem solving.
