"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."

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:
