"Which is worse, ignorance or apathy?"
As the nations of the world trade systems participate in continually evolving forms of economic globalization, the level of ignorance and apathy among the general populace may rise relative to the degree of personal socioeconomic success.
In short, it is predicted that the capitalistic exchange model may promote economic stability among nations while further socializing global populations into the mindset of commercial manipulability.
Other sociopolitical effects of global capitalistic exchange may include the empowerment of women, changing family and social structures, profitable exploitation of the working classes by the capitalist classes, cultural domination, the development of English as an universal business language, as well as new alliances and stratification among the nations.
The concept of an integrated one-nation world system of government may function if there exists full and equal representation wherein class, ethnic, and religious identities should not be used for political mobilization and stratification. This may require a possible blend of the elements of democracy, republicanism, communism, and socialism. It would also likely require several informed citizens' committees to address issues of corruption and repression.
If peaceful and cooperative technological development projects were to take place under such a system, concerns such as health, poverty, education, and environmental degradation may be greatly reduced.
If something of the sort ever happens in this lifetime, I would be content living life as a traveling writer, artist, policy consultant, and educator.
