The Future of our World
We live in a world filled with fear. We all have our fears, and some of
the fears are universal. Almost all of us fear death. One of the more common
deaths is from other humans. Occasionally an area has widespread deaths
from other humans. To end this fear we must end these deaths. These deaths
as you probably have guessed occur in war. We can end these deaths forever
by uniting the world into one nation.
We must make one nation for ourselves and our children and their children
to live in peace with a government containing governments. The global nation
will allow for one currency that keeps its value. Science will excell with
the greatest collections of scientists ever. The future generations can
all be taught one language that will help with global understanding. Global
protection of our environment. A preservation of all cultures and beliefs.
Free trade can be established to bolster all economies. We can do this
if we all make an effort. If we all form our opinions. This can be an accomplishment
remembered forever.
Ending Warfare
In forming a government for the world we will end global warfare forever.
Today more than ever this change needs to be done. Even countries that
are not in a war have to worry. The nuclear weapons we have created could
completely end our species if not just individual nations. With one nation
nuclear weapons will no longer be usefull. Through time all could nuclear
weopons could be dismantled. The only weopons that would be needed would
be for civil disturbances. So the first reason for one nation is world
peace.
Nation-States
Now we move onto another reason. Many of the world nations disappear due
to war conquest or unification. Each country has unique laws for their
unique wants beliefs and needs. We can model the global nation after past
governments. We should allow each nation-state to determine laws for itself.
The only universal laws would need a majority vote. The universal laws
would be the laws made for the public interest. These nation-states will
also have their old laws preserved. The global nation should have the old
countries left in tact, but labeled as sections instead of countries. This
will keep the sectional governments in tact. That completes the second
reason.
A Stable, and Universal Currency
The third reason is to make a stable currency. This will be an end of our
traditional currencys, marking the beginning of a new era. This new currency
will be universally traded. No longer will we have to worry about exchange
rates. Although people have made money through exchanging currencies usually
the end amount is inflated. Inflation and deflation can be kept to a bare
minimum. People on a fixed income would no longer have to worry about higher
costs. The currency issue is therefore the third reason to think about
in this purposal.
Science
Science is the next issue we must look at. Science conferences and projects
will be simpler than ever after ending the need for permission to exit
a nation and enter another nation. Also the global nation's government
could sponser such events pulling the greatest minds together from all
parts of the planet. The scientific discoveries will be quickly spread
to every region in record breaking times. Ideas and resources can be shared,
as an example let us look at the space program. If the Russians built thier
ships in our manufacturing facilities, it would save them the cost of having
one. The Russians would also whatch the US build their own ships while
they stayed to have their ships built. While watching each others work
they would share ideas. These ideas would lead to improvements in the space-crafts
thet would have other wise been overlooked. That concludes the fourth reason.
A Common Language
This next reason is extremely beneficial to the world. We will teach all
of the members of all the future generations to speak a universal language.
This will help bring understanding between cultures. The language will
help businesses in trade, leaders in globally instituted policies that
will serve all people. Books will no longer need to be translated. Language
barriers will no longer exist to stop people from obtaining their goals.
This finishes the fifth reason.
Environmental Protection
The next reason to look at will solve one of our newly seen problems, which
is pollution. Many countries are working to protect the environment. Each
country makes it's own unique contribution. The environment is effected
by all members of our species, for example if one country keeps our air
clean by filtering smokestacks than that nations neighbors who concentrate
on other environmental efforts will have their unfiltered smoke drift in
to the first countries air. This now concludes the sixth reason.
Preservation of Cultures
Next we must look at a more personal reason, that of culture. We all have
important cultures that we want to keep alive forever. We also don't want
to be taunted for our beliefs. The global nation will not force a culture
changes, but if a culture hurts another persons or peoples rights than
the actions that the culture demands must be suppressed for the greater
need of all. Also these cultures will be discussed and recorded globally
to enrich peoples theological learning. So protection of cultures is the
seventh reason.
Free Trade
Our next reason for a global nation is free trade. All sections will be
able to trade without restrictive tariffs interfering. This will help spread
new technology. Patent, and Copyright laws will be observed globally to
protect the maker from abuse of the creators works. This will also help
make products for another sections products. Free trade will also help
poorer countries to buy ans sell products. This makes free trade the eigth
reason to unite the world.
Eight reasons have been presented to you today. These are not the only
reasons to form a global nation. After reading this, you may have thought
of a reason that we have not thought of. We are looking for as much help
as possible to spread these ideas. If in any way you could help please
contact us. We need translators for our pages. Also we are always in need
of more writers, and lastly money. We need money to get our own domain.
We also need money for future publications, as well as a commercial server.
