Abstract
In this section some critical reflections and discussions will be dealt with about some serious problems inherent in the globalization of children’s perspectives emanated in a specific (Scandinavian) culture. We are moving into deep water here and do not think we can solve this matter once and for all. But in highlighting and dealing with some important issues, we hope that others will carry on, sharpening our sensitivity to what children’s beliefs that may be inferred from possibly shared panhuman universals and what beliefs that may be constructed from culturally produced differences (and similarities).
