Globalise Values, Not Vices

It was being cautiously observed that particularly during the last two decades, knowingly or unknowingly, both the poor and developing countries of the world enthusiastically (in some cases indirectly forcibly) supported globalisation slogan.

The prevailing globalisation concept violates the fundamental human rights as it (globalisation) is not based on the principle of equity regarding resources, geographical situation and many other natural and local conditions of different countries. It has become a case of unilateral easy flow of products from developed to poor countries without considering the easy uninterrupted flow of labourers from poor to developed countries. To do justice to humanity, it should obey the reciprocity between the free flow of products and labourers. Now it is a case like flowing fluid from lower to higher level against gravity which is contrarary to all natural laws.

Now it is being realised that because of the globalisation process economy of the poor countries is seriously affected. Their industries, business and even the cultures are being destroyed; their exports are tremendously decreasing with a proportional increment in the volumes of imports. Innumerable social ills and vices are destroying their own cultures, human, moral and social values which, in fact, are directly responsible for generating most of the human crises today such as terrorism, poverty, corruption, bribery, killings, injustice, human rights violation, oppression on women and children, environment pollution, drug abuses, etc. Thus there is no doubt that through the present globalisation process cruel materialistic business has been flourishing but the human values are lost jeopardising the peace and justice on our planet.

Hence in a view to ensuring peace and justice on the globe through the revival of human values, an international organisation. Foundation for Moral Development Approach (FMDA) from Bangladesh has launched a global moral development mission with an appeal to all the international institutions and world people (irrespective of religion, colour and nationality) to launch a vigorous political and social movement everywhere in the world to raise the slogan of globalising the human values not the vices to eradicate all the social ills and injustice paving the way to real durable world peace.
