Summary/Abstract: Based on Tadeusz Tomaszewski’s classification of difficult situations, the author notes that we face multiple and diverse such situations. After a general description of globalization she looks specifically at its information-based aspect, seeing information accumulation (previously treated as a form of pressure and a source of stress) as tension between material and spiritual culture. One of the most difficult human situations in the 21st century, it requires thinking about the environment and one’s own attitude.
