IMPLICATION OF DENIAL OF GLOBAL HUMANISM IN THE MODERN WORLD: A CRITICAL INVESTIGATION

Abstract

Global humanness primarily showcases in the human interconnectedness, inter-relationship and togetherness irrespective of geographical location, gender, race, religious affiliation, and culture. The disruption of this humanness over the ages has culminated in COVID-19 era. This is as there have been strong evidences of human discrimination, marginalization, exclusion, domination, racism and discrepancies in the world and especially in COVID-19 period. This has led to greater tension, unrest, terrorism and conflict in various parts of the world. Based on these, global development has been direly affected economically, politically and otherwise. This paper therefore investigates the foundation of the denial of global humanness in the modern world. It analytically investigates the implication of this denial in COVID-19 and post COVID-19 epoch. The study however finds that denial of global humanness has disrupted global stability, unity, peace and development. This is based on the causal chain of existence visible in the fact that what affects one affects all irrespective of place or geographical location. The paper therefore concludes that until the issues affecting global humanness are addressed, global effort to salvage the world from COVID-19 may end in futility.
