Global Issues The current global political situation is serious and desperately calls for public awareness and concern. Global problems cannot be solved locally; they must be studied at a local level with an eye towards a mass movement that raises awareness of the severity of the problems and the absence of workable solutions. A global vision should evolve through critical discussions regarding both problems and possible solutions. The movement must seek to create minimal scientific literacy (i.e., attention to factual reports plus a critical attitude towards them). The movement must be educational and democratic; it must encourage individual autonomy. He must freely confess his ignorance and slowly develop ideas in a combination of extensive propaganda and adequate research. Philosophy can contribute by developing an overall vision of the situation. Academic research should deal with practical problems. Ideally, the movement will offer a basic education that will enable graduates to force appropriate institutions to enact laws aimed at alleviating global problems. We now live in a major permanent global political crisis. The problems of global politics are serious and urgently need sound solutions. So far no reasonable solution has been offered for them. Nobody has any idea of ​​a solution. It is better to discuss the problem situation in general rather than wait for someone to find a possible solution. How, then, can we help alleviate the current serious global political crisis? This article makes two rather obvious assumptions. First and foremost, survival is always at the top of any political agenda. Secondly, today there is a grave danger to human survival. This danger... middle of paper... could be the basis 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, numerous new departments have already been established in many universities in many countries. These departments are mainly dedicated to ecology and new global political affairs. It is putting all this together without exaggerating its strength and underlining the great need that can give the movement the push towards a grassroots scientific-democratic movement.
