the divided world Facing the difficulty imposed by the spreading of 2019-nCoV, the picture of globalization appears an illusion. The world is poised close to a transition towards division rather than a community. Many countries treat other countries in trouble as the source of their trouble. The world fails to unite together to fight against the crisis. The countries have to face their difficulties own by own or, at most, by their own little group. A surprising number of governments try to shirk their responsibility while adhering to target scapegoats with a global vision to shift their blame. It is not a friendly world. Many should feel lonely.
