Abstract

A strong, enlightening, and ethical educational system is particularly crucial today because global warming, plus the coming struggles over crumbs as the world’s resources become used up and/or not very retrievable, may lead to war unless a very strong ethics/education helps us to settle disputes peacefully and open our hearts to otherness, and to global needs. Already we are seeing very mean and warlike attitudes develop towards immigrants most of whom face lives of extreme poverty and/or violence. Unfortunately, what we are currently seeing is anger being aroused and focused on immigrants.
