Looking for controversial topics, I found that I agreed with many of the claims made by the author. It is very difficult to find something that I do not agree with. In my search, I decided to see Robert D. Kaplan 's book "Future Chaos" again. The problem we face is that we are biased, no matter how critical and analytically it is read. I am biased particularly by the fact that I can not separate the world view from my theology. According to my theology, I tried to find a place I did not agree on Kaplan's writing.
Twenty four years ago, in this magazine, Robert Kaplan announced an article entitled "Future Disorders" on "Bifurcating World". It will be surrounded by an increasingly poor majority. Kaplan cites a visionary pessimist and Canadian political scientist Thomas Homer - Dickson compares this future with a limo that goes through the streets suffered by New York crime. The poor surrounded the rich and they saw the outside from the back of the roller shutter. Kaplan wrote that global turmoil threatens the perfection of the border and that the fate of limousine residents is intertwined with the confusion of surrounding slums.
Robert D. Kaplan's "The Coming Anarchy" has two themes. The first one is all that is civilized and not civilized. The second is Africa, an example of a group of countries abandoned by civilization. This article describes these two topics. The movie "Girls in Cafes" is a perfect example of what is happening in Africa. The movie was held when most countries reached the high level of civilization. They have technology, culture development, and contemporary value and interest. Globalization is at a high level and happens when leaders from all the countries gather to determine the destiny of the world. Among all these problems, one issue is not considered a priority in all countries - the situation in Africa and the destiny of people in the poverty and difficulties of the country. Unfortunately, when globalization began, not every country was able to follow it.
