The last chapters of the book bring us to current times. One of the main aspects of civilization represented in these chapters is the globalization of ideas. We are now moving on from global commerce and building a global economy towards building a global society. This may be our only road to salvation. If people can unite and bond over globalized ideas, hopes, and proactive goals civilization as we know it might stand a chance of surviving our self destructive actions.
History repeatedly tells us that no act stands alone, and all of our actions have consequences. It seems like it might be time to really reflect on the values of our global civilizations and determine if they have our best interest at heart. It may be time to slow down our pace of life and to re-evaluate what is necessary to live a happy purposeful life.
The globalization of ideas pertaining to equality, social values, conservation and rehabilitation of the planet, and the consequences of our actions is going to be the defining factor of our current era. We are at a tipping point and we have important choices to make which will bring major consequences to future generations. Globalization of ideas, solutions, accountability, and a sense of unity will provide the right kind of positive consequences we hope will be the legacy of our current historical era.
