Who is leading the world: Is it the hypotheses or the imperatives?!
Al-Riyadh Editorial
Published in Alriyadh on 26 - 05 - 2014

Global changes are being led by the advanced states or the states seeking advancement for achieving its interest while the underdeveloped nations keep being mere consumers of the accelerating tools of the civilization. Meanwhile, Shall the aesthetics of literature, arts and emotions vanish in favor of the material world together with spiritualities when we recognize that those who visit the churches in Europe are the little minorities of the elders?
What about the image and value of the author or writer who produces the novel and the creative artists who originate the paintings or sculptures where the short thought is addressed to the essayist or article author, the novel is used in favor of the movie, the play is used in favor of the TV series, the painting is used in favor of the quick snapshot camera and the short story is used in favor of the current event?
In regard to the national units; will their components vanish from the unified history, language and heritage in favor of the new identities represented by the familial and tribal identities together with the ethnicities divided into sects? Will the central state demise in favor of such gatherings? How did it happen that there had been national units which had not been formed by the original languages when India had been united and adopted English as its language? How had brazil adopted the Portuguese as its official language and how South Africa had adopted English as its official language where the other languages had kept being local ones which culture may vanish in favor of the settling languages in most global continents?
Can't the challenge be seen from a farther point when we recognize that our planet is eroding through the factors of pollution, scarcity of energy and raw materials, disappearance of jungles and fighting for water & the consequences of the human multiplicity of people whose local environments are becoming incapable of being enough for them in a way that is pushing then towards immigration towards the states of abundance?
How do we look at the human in his new image with the globalization? Is it possible that the local conflicts and social splits shall disappear in favor of the civil system, democracy, development of parties, multilateralism and liberalism for establishing new systems or regimes built on the base of justice? Or is it that the track shall put us before new cartels of traders, technicians, trade or labor unions, teachers and pupils who are gathered in their special clubs where the social isolation shall be in favor of the accelerating movement of these new gatherings brought through social networking centers for establishing a new isolation of class and cultural components that abandon the past in favor of sole factionalism?
What about the new elites of capitalists, politicians, intellectuals, engineers and others? Can they be secreted as a class which leads the communities towards an alternative world where work mechanism shall be the sole criterion for selecting the creative and highly competent people for becoming the shadow of the elite category and its field of polarization where the other categories shall be mere assistant factors which competencies do not qualify them for reaching the stage of senior leadership in the coming life cycle?
Moreover, on what basis will the leap be between the communal categories? Will it be on the basis of the material capacity, competency or the available chance? Will the race be inevitable between communities, states or continents which are fighting each other for achieving absolute sovereignty on the others? Who shall occupy the front and who shall remain in the bottom? Will the internationalism return to form ideologies which care for the quality rather than the hypothesis of racialism, nationalism and religion?
Such questions confuse the individual who deals with the totalitarian culture and overlooks the communities through their broad horizon. Within the limits of what we understand; the future is not determined by states or cartels anymore as long as the economies and cultures are heading towards becoming transcontinental for forming another world which milestones are not clear enough yet.
