ABSTRACT

The World Trade Center attack on 11 September 2001 was an epoch-making event because it clearly showed us the worst form of hostility caused by 'globalisation'. Of course, the current globalisation process has exploited and suppressed a number of developing countries in an unfair manner; hence, it is natural that people in these countries feel frustrated and express their hostility against, for example, the USA. However, it is wrong to kill innocent citizens in the USA, and it is even worse to kill the same number of innocent citizens in Afghanistan with air raids. As Mahatma Gandhi said, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. What is needed is some different forms of action.
