Chaos Theory in Social Context of Brazi

"Hence, although ‘prosocial’ is for behavioural scientists a term of art


denoting certain traits which may promote small-group harmony, in the context

of global humanity, so called “prosocial” behaviour may in fact be

anti-social as well as unethical; it does not always promote either individual

good or good society as we now understand it in the philosophical and

political sense. Indeed, one of the greatest moral challenges facing us this

century is the problem of global sustainability and development, and it is

becoming increasingly clear that ethical solutions to this problem may require

us to inflict harm (or withhold benefit, which can amount to the same thing

morally but also apparently emotionally, according to the results from the

Ultimatum Game) at a local level in order to benefit more others, or avoid

greater harms, at the level of the wider community."
 
Harris and Chan, Journal of Medical Ethics/2011
 
 
Ethical consequences of globalization, seems to me so close to the chaos teory.
"The fact that you buy this Zara's cashmere made in Bangladesh, is actually inflict in local consequences in Bangladesh."
 
I do like to considere the brazilian expertise in this:
"The marijuna they smoke in the fancy universities, it is actually increase the criminality between kids at the favelas"
