Summary
Humanity began with clans, tribes, then villages, then small towns and so on. The historical movement is the unification of the world: the great modern megalopolises are multicultural, like New York, London or Hong Kong. This movement goes hand in hand with the generalization of human, women's and children's rights. The problems facing the world are ecological problems on a global scale, requiring a global response. It's an illusion to want to maintain closed countries and national policies.
