Wars are no longer confined to their battlegrounds. Social media has granted them the opportunity to infiltrate far-off places. It is enough for a person to look at their phone to learn about a massacre taking place thousands of kilometers away. The world can no longer claim ignorance over developments taking place around the world.
With images and sounds, the residents of the “global village” can learn about the discovery of a mass grave left behind by a dictatorial regime. In the past, such a discovery would have only been a headline in a local newspaper. Such a story would never have been able to affect people living thousands of kilometers away.
We have already said enough about how the world has witnessed technological and scientific changes in recent decades that have strengthened human capabilities. But at the same time, the world has not made any progress in terms of reining in hatred, the thirst for killing and the elimination of the other.
Extremism is a pandemic more dangerous than any other, claiming more lives than any other. Extremism is not limited to race, color or beliefs. Extremism can reach its own extreme when it turns into an overwhelming need to eliminate others because they are different.
