Where are we heading?Nationalism vs. globalism: the new political divide(Ted dialogue)
How do we make sense of today’s political divisions? In a wide-ranging conversation full of insight, historian Yuval Harari places our current turmoil in a broader context, against the ongoing disruption of our technology, climate, media — even our notion of what humanity is for. This is the first of a series of TED Dialogues, seeking a thoughtful response to escalating political divisiveness. Make time (just over an hour) for this fascinating discussion between Yuval Noah Harari and TED curator Chris Anderson.
Must watch for anyone who is concerned about the way things are happening around.One o f the best dialogues watched in recent times.
Interesting conversation with Yuval. I liked his idea of Globalization. I agree with his views about increasing nationalism across the world, actually it is because of the failure of the current political system. This political system could not connect to the common man anymore and people cannot see any futuristic vision of theirs in this system, so they want to go back to the past may be for just a restart. The concept of nationalism is not a total failure; actually it had its benefits in connecting large group of people to fight for a common cause. But in contemporary world this idea is not going to work effectively because there are many parameters which an individual nation cannot control by itself, like: cyber security, terrorism, climate change etc.. This limitation of nationalism causes the rise of “Globalization”. More globalized is the world, more effectively we can contribute for the elimination of hunger, poverty, crime against children and atrocities on women.
