Global IssuesThe current global political situation is serious and desperately calls for public awareness and concern. Global problems cannot be solved locally; they must be studied locally from the perspective of a mass movement which would raise awareness of the seriousness of the problems as well as the absence of viable solutions. An overall vision should evolve through critical discussions regarding both problems and possible solutions. The movement must seek to create a minimal scientific culture (i.e. attention to and critical attitude towards factual reports). The movement must be educational and democratic; it must encourage individual autonomy. He must freely admit his ignorance and slowly develop his ideas through a combination of broad propaganda and appropriate research. Philosophy can contribute to this by developing a global vision of the situation. Academic research must focus on practical problems. Ideally, the movement will provide a basic education that will enable graduates to force appropriate institutions to pass laws aimed at alleviating global problems. We are currently living in a major and ongoing global political crisis. The problems in global politics are serious and in dire need of sensible solutions. So far, no reasonable solution has been proposed for them. No one has any idea of a solution. It is better to discuss the problem situation in general rather than waiting for someone to offer a possible solution. How, then, can we help alleviate the current major global political crisis? This article makes two fairly obvious presuppositions. First, survival is always at the top of any political agenda. Second, the survival of humanity is now seriously threatened. This danger middle of paper ...... could be the source of some future solutions to serious current problems. These problems represent an enormous intellectual and practical challenge for all of us. The challenge is not new. After all, to meet this challenge, a number of new departments have already been created in many universities in many countries. These departments are devoted mainly to ecology and new global political affairs. It is the bringing together of all this without exaggerating its strength and emphasizing the great need which can give the movement its push towards a basic democratic and scientific movement.BibliographyAgassi, J., 1985.
