Georacism

Georacism: I hereby suggest a third generation racism term "Georacism", defined as something like: "Significant differences in living conditions based on where on earth you live". This is the only racism that is visible from space (night light distribution). This is the racism that is believed to affect the most and has the most negative consequences for people's lives. This is a term that so far has shortcomings in our language. Absence can help to obscure reality, allow excessive complacency, inhibit agents and perpetuate much suffering. The first generation term of racism came as late as the 1930s and referred to suspected races. Second generation term of racism came towards the end of the last century. It became a radical expansion and goes on prejudices and generalizations around ethnicity, culture and religion. Third generation, includes all of humanity as a whole and again extends it radically to apply regardless of physical proximity / interaction between people and goes on global injustice based on habitat, hence geography in the word. It is most visible economically, on living standards, and living conditions, but also includes more structural power relations including defining power globally. In practice, the term overlaps a great deal with skin color, religion and ethnicity and thus also the previous terms of racism. The 2 and 3 terms of racism can live side by side and refer to local and international conditions, respectively, but with an individual co-responsibility. Equating rights and human dignity in practice, regardless of place of residence, challenges such as the low level of global redistribution, international structural power relations, a sharp imbalance of aid and rights based on the displaced person's own displacement and the low level of rights of the world poor. By defining global injustice as racism, the motivation for change can increase. It challenges our self-satisfaction and reveals how little difference it makes for those affected whether you belong to the supposedly good or bad in for instance rich Norway. The difference between the good and the bad in the privileged countries, or between countries themselves, is shrinking sharply and therefore such an angle will easily create resistance, because it affects the identity of the good where it hurts the most. For those affected by this georasism, however, it has a major upside. From expressions such as, "we can not help everyone" or "we can not change the way the world is" to "we can actually do so to a much greater extent" if we get a stronger whip (georasism) and carrot (be a good person globally ). From "the world is unfair" to "we contribute to the unjust", a paradigm shift in looking at humanity as a whole and personal responsibility. To acknowledge, to see oneself from the outside in a global perspective, a deep humanism that would pass even a doomsday.
