About negative globalisation – Zygmunt Bauman

Abstract

The value theoretical relation to globalisation is diametrically opposite
- positive or negative. Neoliberal globalisation apologists seek to
highlight its positive characteristics, while its critics point to a whole
series of negative characteristics. This other theoretical orientation
belongs to Zygmunt Bauman. His attitude towards globalisation is
highly negative: in itself, globalisation carries a number of negative
risks, of which the most difficult is the one that leads to the possible
self-destruction of humanity. Therefore, he decisively stated that if we
do not develop the perception of planetary responsibility and the ability
to foresee the future, cataclysm is quite certain and real.
