Summary
Is there a way out of the fear and insecurity created by globalization? If we view the issue in terms of collective psychology, then confidence and cultural openness would seem to go hand in hand, and only a country that lacks self-confidence will shield itself against diversity, multiculturalism, and foreign influences. This program presents the opinions of authors and philosophers who suggest ways for societies to deal with the emotionality and subjectivity of globalization pressures. Commentary comes from Charles Taylor, author of Sources of the Self: The Making of Modern Identity; Ian Buruma, author of Taming the Gods: Religion and Democracy on Three Continents; Dominique Moisi, a French thinker whose experiences as the son of a Holocaust survivor informed much of his view of post-Cold War Europe; and others.
