Federico Mayor Zaragoza, in this article of supreme importance, in a reasoned manner, indicates the factors or conditions that, for the first time represent a turning point for the path of humankind, from a culture of imposition and domination to a culture of encounter and peace. It provides information of dismissed opportunities after the first and second world wars and the end of the Cold War. In the digital era a very recent era but already a well established one, we are not only able to approach “life on Earth” in real time, but also convey our thoughts and emotions. We can now participate in the affairs of the state, nation and the world. It is essential today, when we can finally express ourselves, when women are gradually and actively participating in decision-making, when all human beings and not only a few can demonstrate and act according to their own reflections, that the public outcry, the voice of the people, “We, the peoples...” become the driving force for the advent of a “new beginning,” as clearly advocated by the “Earth Charter”.
