Finl<strong>and</strong><br />
Globalization has its positive <strong>and</strong> negative phenomena;<br />
it is mankind’s advancement peak<br />
<strong>and</strong> negative influence of human activity on<br />
nature, fauna <strong>and</strong> man. Recently we can<br />
feel more <strong>and</strong> more negative outcomes of<br />
globalization <strong>and</strong> their penetration into our<br />
lives. On my piece I want, sort of with<br />
humor, irony, <strong>and</strong> at the same time painfully,<br />
to look at this what is going on, what will<br />
happen when the human will think that he<br />
or she is the almighty universe lord, who can<br />
do everything - even influence <strong>and</strong> change<br />
steady laws - modify plants, animals. Maybe<br />
only mutants will be left on the Earth?...<br />
