Mi'kmaq Culture and Globalization

So much has been hoped that the revolution communications technologies can bring an end to rivalries between peoples (mainly due to ignorance of each other), bridging cultures and revive those who were endangered ... This was technically possible, but several factors have prevented this process: The Southern can not keep pace with this development (and therefore they can not enjoy it) because their social, economic and political are far from solved ...

In these circumstances, the globalization tends to standardize cultures or rather to Americanize the world. Thus, people in countries south were left with a stream of information that challenges their cultures and promotes a lifestyle that often does not suit the level of development of their societies, their histories and their faith ... Given that several reactions may occur.

The most natural is the erasure of identity and the blind imitation of the other which is quite understandable because, according to Ibn Khaldun:
"The reason is that the soul always sees perfection in the individual who occupies the top row and to which it is subject. It is considered as perfect, either because it falsely assumes that its own subordination is not a natural consequence of defeat, but results from the perfection of the victor. "
The second reaction is more" defensive "would be a withdrawal to avoid any external influence.

Both reactions quoted reflect a lack of confidence and will lead both to disasters because they would create continuity of rivalries that led to the most destructive wars of mankind.

The solution by Roger Garaudy in:
"Making a profound cultural revolution that gives the culture its true mission: either send us the atheistic positivism and individualism to despair, but to raise awareness for and meaning of life and history. "

For this, we had everything before making a personal effort to become familiar with its own culture and its contribution to human civilization, know the culture others away from simplistic view, and finally assert their culture in light of the specific and commonalities it has with that of others.

I quote the words of Goethe: "Who knows himself and knows the others will also recognize this: The East and West are inextricably linked."

is highlighting the richness and complementarity of their cultures that humans could build a civilization in the context of respect for the planet, the environment and human dignity. This would bring the soul of a new life together full of hope and progress.
