Social Bonding, Globalization, and Humanity

Showing a limited preview of this publication:

What bonds hold human society together? How have these bonds evolved over time, and where do they extend in an era of globalization? This article shows how certain types of social bonds continue to dominate human civilization, explores some of the strains they are under at the present time, and suggests a few ways they may adapt to the global future by acquiring a more precise connection to the concept of Humanity.
