Why the world people could not be united into one nation?

Dear Friend,\n\nThat's a very interesting question.  \n\nPart of the problem is that the peoples of different nations believe many different things.  The religions of one nation condemn the religions of their neighbors.  The way of life in Nation A can be repugnant to everyone in Nation B.  As long as ideas are at war, people will be at war.\n\nIn addition to the culture clash, there's the general sense of people everywhere that political control should be local.  The feeling is that decisions concerning our lives shouldn't be made by people "over there" who don't have the sense of how our day to day life progresses.  \n\nLastly, there's a philosophical shift that we'd have to make between being a citizen of our nation and a citizen of the world.  It's in the works -- witness the EU -- but slowly, and with much resistance.  And that's normal.  Big changes take time.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

Probably not. Certainly today they all have distict national identities and would likely not want to be merged like that.

Ever heard the phrase "Power of One"?  If each one of us voices are opinion strong enough to be heard either voicing it in public, on-line etc... if each of us would come together and work as a single unit a team and all of us stands together we would have a chance to turn the tables.  \nRemember if United We Stand, the reverse is also true, United we can Fall too.

You need more than one family to establish a nation.  In the US it was families from England that colonized the east coast and when they felt  that together they could survive on their own, or could trade with other countries besides the Mother country then they wrote a Declaration of Independence to establish a new nation. It took awhile for other countries to recognize the US but since we had all sorts of resources they wanted (and they didn't like England) it didn't take too long.

Because that's the way it should be. Learn from history and look around you! Religion and state don't go well together. Too many conflicts, and it won't work unless the people all have the same religion. Try that, build a country based on religion and you'll go back to the dark age.

They are already united but not in the sense your are talking about. They are too far away from each other to make this possible.

Maybe because we're the only country that has the advantages to lead the world. If a one-party country like China would control the world's economy I think we wouldn't enjoy the freedom we have. We're open minded and multi cultural and these are good advantages.

its quite simple, as long there is humans. They will be wars. The world must balance itself in hate and love. If we do not have hate, we do not have love. If we do not have love, we do not have hate. The world and mankind must balance itself. If one side of the balances is tipped too much, it will be chaos.

Well...it is not a question of living for who we are...or maybe it is - what I am trying to say is we, as humans, define ourselves through others, through belonging to a group (whatever this maybe - your family, your country, your friends) - you need to be around people who share the same interests, who have something in common with you. I mean...this is why people get into wars (because most times they are not personally attacked, or to be more exact -not they as individuals) but people do take it personal and they do risk their lives because it is a part of them which is threatened. \n\nAnd whatever people say, we all try to integrate in some kind of a group as we all crave for social acceptance and recognition.\n\nThis is a quote from the website below (btw -check it out - it's really interesting): "Indeed, it is probably not incorrect to say that the human group is the very foundation of human existence—without our interactions with each other, we would simply not be people, and there would be no human culture."

My USA citizen countrymen/women. The USA is a melting pot of many colors and nationalities. I hope all of us would defend each other against outside forces or entities. We should not allow other people to divide us by bringing up issues in the past that they use to stir up past ills. The past is and should remain there, in the past. Issues of today are issues of today. We all had our good and bad pasts, they are over with. Today we should look at each other as AMERICAN compatriots.

unity is impossible in iraq. The religious factions are too seperate. Unless a dictator is reintroduced there can't be peace because the people there hate each other and us. Divide them up, give them militaries to defend themselves and create a weak federal government with a strong military as a deterrent

There are two things that can never happen because of the nature of mankind, one of them is true peace. Even if we all did find some way to get along, there would always be some jerk to mess it up at a personal level.

Hi,\n\nAll religions in this world unites people. But its we people got seperated between each other in the name of religion. Each and every religion tell us to spread love not religion. But we twisted that to our own wish and we try to crush other religion. WE can help religion to unite people by taking good thoughts from every religion and following it. Be it any religion follow that and respect other religion also. This will make the people to rethink about religion and there will be a new hope between us\n\nAnd further more Today is new year so I wish HAPPY NEW YEAR

I don't think so, there is too much war and suffering for us all to be united under one anthem, Auld Lang Syne is a Hymn and which is not used by Arabian countries, so I say no

While it is not impossible it does certainly seem to be improbable.  Thoughout recorded history there have only been 7 years of total world peace and that has been a day here and a day there to add up to the 7 years.  Religous differences, racial differences, as well as disagreements on type of government will always stand in our way.  John Lennon tried to lay out his plan for World Peace in his song "Imagine", it would take all of that and then some to bring it to a reality.

Maybe they don't accept peace, they don't want there to be a mixed society like most of the world wants

Absolutely!!! With more love amongst the world communities would come tolerance & respect for one another & one another's culture, belief, religion ect. Such an atmosphere would break down the many walls of colour, creed,religion, narrow mindedness we have built over many a centuries amongst ourselves distancing ourselves in the process & make the world a better place to inhabit.
