This paper outlines the paradoxes in the rather fragmented process of globalization and the contradiction
between the inclusiveness of the concept and its exclusive processes and practices aligned with the global
power structure. One major assertion related to education is that we put more effort into screening vast
majorities out of education and we intentionally limit the participation of certain individuals and groups
from benefiting from the present state of epistemology and axiology. The paper concludes that for universal
inclusion, we need a totally new frame that merits the name „global‟and allows the contribution of cherishing
the contribution of each and every human being.
