In the era of Globalization processes the education of people’s consciousness has to be | In the era of Globalization processes the education of people’s consciousness has to be highlighted, in individual and social spheres as well. Only through learning facts about the system’s setting the people get able to clearly make their own decisions in which way or depths they want to take part in negative or positive sides of the process’ global impacts. | ||

The question everyone should more or less able to answer, or at least should be | The question everyone should more or less be able to answer, or at least should be willing to, is how can the individual take part on the process without increasing too much negative results.

If the decision not to consume any meat might seem to hard to take, the individuum could make a better choice by buying meat from regional farms without mass production but with biological and ecological production. | ||
As this small example shows, there is always a choice to take. And being embedded in a society which has the gift to live in the highest sphere of MASLOWs pyramide which is called “Self-actualization” it is a shame to simply regret to get aware of it. | As this small example shows, there is always a choice to take.

And and first watch the individual choice of consume or even lifestyle seems to have very little impact to the disproportionated circumstances the nations are embedded in the global system. | |||
Of course, the "lonely man" can't change or underline very little. But by networking and the use of modern communication these people can grow easily and fast up to a group.
