Padrão de Resposta

The problems of globalization and the consequences and challenges it presents concerning subjects such as biodiversity, cultural diversity and education are based on the historical perspectives of the world’s occidentalization, which began with European colonial dominance since the XVth century and was ratified by the American might in every sphere , with its power to “disseminate culture”. This dominance of Western ethnocentrism, supported by a neoliberal ideology, encompasses not only the economic and financial field, but also the control of information and communication related to big multinational corporations, thereby imposing a cultural “standardization”. Globalization has its main limitation because it does not have a feasible model of society. Education, conceived as the transmission of world visions, of knowledge and of systems of values, has an enormous historical challenge in defending and preserving cultural diversity, which has been discussed in several spheres by many countries around the world.
