GLOBALIZATION OR COLONIZATION
Jarosław Sempryk
Abstract
Unchanged increase in unemployment, destruction of the environment, diseases of civilization, the widening gap between the poor and the rich, addictions and social unrest are becoming more and more common. The state or international actions taken are insufficient to remedy these emerging disproportions. Also, global actions focused on corporate financial and commercial institutions, which in fact are not subject to any social control, cannot cope with global problems, especially with the hunger. The idolatry of profit generates exploitation, and outright injustice fuels social conflict. The article shows that replacing the negative concept of «colonization» with the positive term «globalization» does not tame people’s lusts – greed, meaning and use –
that feed selfishness and arrogance. The necessity of ethical formation focused on the common good, that is God and the inalienable human dignity of every human being, continues to be and will be a historical imperative.
