. The consequences of globalization are contradictory. Even if we now live in multicultural countries, still we have problems of racism. This happens because some of us who like to call their selves “locals” in “their” country, they believe that they are superior from a foreigner who came to his country in order to find a better future or may be this foreigner came to his country in order to fulfil his dreams and to develop the country that he lives now.
Some may say when they speak for the working class, that foreigners are taking the jobs of domestic people because they don’t have problem if they get low salaries but they don’t say why someone who is local asks for more money. Why he claims more money? Furthermore, we live in a free market world. There is a strong competition between people for about anything.
Moreover, why some believe that they deserve more from someone which is not from the same country as they? If we observe everyone comes to life with the same way as everyone else and everyone passes to the “other side” with the same way. There is nothing that makes us different from the others.
Racialism is also one of the key elements in political thinking. Lot of political thinkers based their social-economic systems on racial difference. May be this is one of the main reasons why some nations are still more “racial” than others.
Hitler, for example, he based his theory upon the racial difference. In his work, “Mein Kampf” Hitler believed in inequality between races and individuals as part of an unchangeable natural order and was in favour of one race the Aryan race. The natural unit of mankind was the people, of which the German was the greatest.
Hitler’s believes are in represent in way the capitalist way of thinking. This happening because he believes in class division between people, something that it exists in capitalist economic system. These ideas are reflecting the way of thinking of many people in developed countries like Germany, United Kingdom and others. Countries which are industrial developed (like Germany) or countries which have “rich” history (like Greece) many habitats of countries like these they think their selves as superior. This happens only to capitalist states because only in this economic system there is the belief of superior and inferior beings.
On the other hand, we see that there is the opposite idea which is in favour of the total abolition of all borders. The total absence of law. In a more general term anarchy believes that all the people know what the best is for them and there is not class struggle. Moreover, through the abolition of borders all the people will leave in a universal world and everyone will be the same.
Someone could say that this theory can be the basis of globalization, but globalization is more an economic coalition rather a social-economic system.
In modern times the truth is about in the middle. The modern nations are very strong believers to their own powers and their trying to develop. We see small countries trying to upgrade their industrial units and how they encourage young men to get involved with business by giving them important benefits. But, also, the same states, even if they believe so much to their potentials, their giving up their national identity in different ways and join into coalitions were national economic politics is shaping under the commands of European Union.
By joining in this kind of alliances nations give up everything in order to serve the “General Good”. Borders do no longer exist in favour of free market, working hands, education, and economic development and for other reasons.
In conclusion, it can be very difficult to specify what we mean with the word racialised. Because in modern nations where everything is international and even the politics that is being exercised inside in a country is still under an international agenda then is really hard to show which the differences between the countries are.
Furthermore, by opening the borders to everyone, a new kind of immigration has started. The immigrants now are not just workers who came in order to work to the mines and to the factories. Now, the new kind of immigrants is people with dreams and ambitions. They can think as their country wherever they live. They don’t have any strong relations with the country that they born and even if they do, they don’t have problems with other foreigners which are in their “mother land”. This is the impact of living abroad. By living abroad they associate with people from different countries, which have different culture and ideas, so their perspectives are wider than anyone else who lives to his country where he born without being to a different country under a new lifestyle.
There is the opinion that by living abroad so can do afterwards the best for your country by applying the ideas that you learned in a different country, in order to see your country to be the best of all the others countries. For that reason someone can be called racialist without this word to have a bad meaning.
Everything is being judged under how you want to see it. If someone loves his country where he borne and was the best for her we call him “racist”. But, if this man had lived abroad and then had come back to the country that was born in order to help her to develop, then we call him “man with ambitions and dreams”.
We all have one identity. The identity of that we are human beings. As long as we born and die with the same way, then all of us are equal and similar.
New nations are not racialised. All the countries now are multicultural. This is good because through this we can have wider minds and we have the chance to do something for this world who has been tortured from the facial and religious, sometimes, differences that we have.
The new generation, is ready to prepare a new, better future for our children by trying to open their minds and hearts to the others. We just have to listen carefully.
