In his lecture Alen emphasized that today people live in apathy, they lack imagination to imagine better world, they do not have will to get engaged as citizens, but Global ethic can help us to confront populist on power. People fear from complex identities and differences and they do not know how to embrace it and how to face these challenges. Differences are resources for growth of civilizations while rejecting differences leads to  isolation and poverty.
