World Leadership ....for Dummies

[armchairphilosopher wrote:] I believe that you are correct in saying that there is a need for leadership because it may be true that the world is in a crisis state although ,any of us may not be willing to accept it. Deciding that any particular nation-state is the correct leader is futhering the problems that we face. Humans associate with groups, and what comes with that is identitification of differences between groups, from geeks and jocks, to french and german.

That is true to some extent, especially when it comes to peer groups. But it is possible to get a wide variety of groups to get behind an idea - especially if there is an emergency. The trick right now is to get a few groups to see an emergency before it hits us all square on. If you are in Dafar right now, you are in an emergency. So too if you have AIDS, or live in Iraq. Korea and Iran are rising emergencies. So is global warming and a host of other major enviromental and economic issues on a global scale. So the question is; can the human group get together and get the home planet back on track so that we can all go our individual ways again? I believe we can and I can only hope that a few others thinks so too. Once you get more than one determined person behind an idea, others tend to follow. Thats how groups get formed.

People need to start to accept what it is we have in common, almost everything as modern humans. How else can we be expected to work towards common goals if we continue to espouse the minor differences between tribes?

All our differences are mainly artificial. Underneath we all share the same fundamental family values - IE. Sharing and caring, a sound work ethic, courage, affection, generosity and ambitions for our children. If we start from that shared base of mutual understanding, no matter what language or creed, or political spin, and work together to build a better future for them on the home planet, everything else will follow.
