Trialogue on peace: consumption, responsibility, globalization

Abstract

This article makes a theoretical approach to peace based on three concepts: consumption, responsibility and globalization. The first attempts to highlight how supply can influence the social construction of reality, and how mass consumption seems to give life to a process of homologation but in reality it produces
new forms of differentiation and hierarchy. With the second, we intend to distinguish that individuals are increasingly aware of the lack of neutrality of their consumption acts with respect to production and distribution processes, and therefore, of the link with world political and economic imbalances, as well as
with the ecological and social deterioration. With the third, we try to point out that with the neoliberal globalization process, social justice and democratic values have been renounced in favor of the laws of the market.
