Summary/Abstract: Globalisation is a historical envoy of evolution process. An envoy of liberalization and integration process of trade, capital and labour force markets that until now have been secluded, into one integrated world market. Globalisation period is characterised by accelerated variability. The acceleration of development is not only a cause for satisfaction but also a phenomenon which brings us doubts and threats. Accelerated variability brings up the question of adaptation capabilities of humans. It has put the system: human-earth in a new, previously unknown situation. Destabilisation of this system may threaten unimaginable consequences. Human perception being unable to keep up with the variability brings frustration. The deepening frustration leads up to civilization paresis and economic collapse. In order to understand the beginnings of globalisation and the accompanying variability, one has to have the holistic approach in research. An approach taking into consideration methods of intuitive cognition.
