Purpose

– The purpose of this paper is to encourage a discourse aiming to better understand the “psycho-social situation” of many people – from a global perspective. The following “first hypotheses” are formulated; pointing to crucial “hidden agendas” which shall be “named” in order to focus attention towards these phenomena (“taming”).

Design/methodology/approach

– Following the news and the “official” comments in Europe and America allow – almost demand – the formulation of “suspicions” with regard to “silent” (unconscious) shifts in the “loud” societies.

Findings

– The present economic regime is broadening the division between rich and poor worldwide, as is known. However, there are also other, more hidden divisions emerging, especially between “official” (e.g. administration-announced) and “common” opinions and attitudes, despite a growing globalisation of information (access-wise and content-wise, not necessarily reaching out to all milieus).

Research limitations/implications

– Formulating hypotheses can bring important issues to the forefront of attention within social science (e.g. starting a precautionary process also with regard to information).

Practical implications

– This paper aims to deepen the understanding of the social structure of the (now almost) worldwide interconnected social communication network (including “scars”).

Social implications

– Multicultural connectivity (understanding and exchange) is needed in order to solve (first perceive) the worldwide problems ahead of us.

Originality/value

– Naming agendas of global dimensions that are perhaps largely hidden and not yet perceived (“named”).
