Społeczno-moralne oraz ideologiczne źródła kryzysu gospodarczego cywilizacji naukowo-technicznej w dobie globalizacji a działania prewencyjne

Abstract

The era of civilization of science and technology has had a great deal of unique achievements in education and technological development. Yet, in many fields of our life it has brought about a very serious threat of a total self-destruction. This era of science and technology civilization is characterized by profound antinomies evident in unequal access to distribution of goods, educational achievements, education and culture. This discrepancy can clearly be seen in the realm of lofty humanitarian ideas and their implementation in the field of politics, economics, and social practice. The above mentioned antinomies have lead to a triple danger crisis in the hub of the science and technology civilization: axiological, ethical, and social-moral, as well as to such related crises as ecological, and the one without the precedence in the history of education - pedagogical. To rescue mankind, thus to escape from the utter annihilation is to raise to the upper level social and moral awareness through modern, holistic, and humanistic pedagogy. Such an educational process should lead the society of the era of science and technology civilization to realization of responsibilities for the future fate of the globe. One of the ways leading to this aim is a proper, anticipating idea of globalization carried out by the countries of the world. In the same time, the idea should take into account the view of the future. First of all hunger and poverty in various parts of the world should be alleviated and then totally reduced. Human rights should be respected. The aim of the international policy based on humanitarian values should be defined and implemented. We all should firmly act against the threat of nuclear war and expansion of terrorism.
