The purpose of this article is twofold: first, to stimulate critical thinking about current social developments, and second, to present some ideas and practices that enable humanness to grow. After exploring three dominant trends: the impact on human beings of virtual worlds, the obliteration of relationships, and the ideology of performance, the article brings forward some actionable knowledge and practices enabling wholeness, respect, and integrity to become established. In the article the author places himself in the realities of our society, studied by various disciplines that unfortunately remain too often “foreign” to one another.
