The world we live in has been deeply transformed by globalisation, there is no question about it. What’s more, the way we live will continue to be shaped by global processes. Globalisation has a myriad of benefits, but it also comes with economic and cultural consequences. We need to understand and learn to navigate both gains and challenges.

Świat, w którym żyjemy, został dogłębnie zmieniony przez globalizację – nie ma co do tego żadnych wątpliwości. Co więcej, sposób naszego życia nadal będzie kształtowany przez globalne procesy. Globalizacja ma mnóstwo zalet, ale również swoje gospodarcze i kulturalne konsekwencje. Musimy zrozumieć wyzwania, jakie przed nami stawia, i nauczyć się manewrować pomiędzy nimi.
