	abstract = {The primary objective of this analysis refers to the question of the value of information, which is an important issue in ethnographic research. The relevance of the study is articulated if one considers that the analysis of ethnographic data from a different cultural context touches the sensitive issue of the creation of truth and the transfer of (scientific) information, facts, and knowledge. This understanding leads to the question who has done the viewing of the facts presented, and to the necessity of an adequate and creative methodological approach, which allows a sensitization, respectfulness, and openness by approaching an {\textquoteleft}other{\textquoteright} culture and its people. This article is built around theoretical and conceptual frameworks in the field of social science {\textendash} particularly in the disciplines of adult education, globalization, and development studies as well as colonial studies and postcolonial theory. The research design includes an interdisciplinary literature analysis as well as micro-ethnographic investigations. One focus of this research is that in a time of globalization and postmodernity the model of the {\textquoteleft}only truth{\textquoteright} increasingly loses its importance and final solutions and clarifications do not provide reliance. As a consequence, one has to acknowledge the plurality in knowledge-production and -transfer. },

	abstract = {The scientific problem of this research points to the fact that a paradigm change in the meaning of educational conceptions and philosophies can be noticed because of intense globalization processes. The analysis demonstrates that education systems which mainly concentrate on the needs of economic globalization can be seen as amplifiers of the globalization phenomenon. The relevance of the study is evident: The influence of the nation-state concerning educational issues gets increasingly lost in a time of globalization, being constantly handed over to private providers and international actors in the field of education. This research in the field of social science is based on an interdisciplinary conceptual framework concerning the fields of adult education; intercultural studies; peace, globalization, and development studies. The intention of the investigation is to describe alternative educational concepts which (are able to) react to the global challenges, as for example global and peace education. The main conclusion of this investigation shows that a reorientation concerning educational topics, which focuses on social cooperation, global solidarity, and a world-wide culture of peace, has to take place.},
