Opinion: A Global Identity

Think of how often national and corporate leaders have used issues of nationality, race and religion to divide or, in rare cases, unite a population. Think of how an entire people have been used as tools to serve the ideas and needs of a selected few. Think of how many wars we as a collective unit of human beings have fought globally based on the perception and judgment of a small group in national office.

Think of how the whole world suffers economically when 1% of the world’s population commits errors in structuring global finance.

Now think of how effective our social and political systems from democratic, socialist to communist have been in categorizing our wants and needs, and propelling us forward as a civilization.

What do they resolve? Whom do they serve? Who benefits and who sacrifices?

If we begin to think of the world as a place where all of its human inhabitants simply want to structure their lives around the five basic principles of family, friends,home, food and a profitable job, then we can begin to break down the barriers that encage us from these essential objectives.

Human beings need to begin to think of themselves as global entities and do away with the manmade concepts of nationality, race and perpetual cultures. Once we restructure our frame of minds and take more responsibility of our own communities and actions, as a whole we start to mobilize civilization onto higher grounds. Instead of seeing each other Americans, French, or Iranians, we respect each other as an individual independent of these preexisting concepts, whose main purpose is the obtainment of these five principles.

People must see each other as a separate and unique entity whose goal in life is to find his or her place on Earth, no matter in what region, continent or space, to grow and develop as a human being.

This global identity needs to start with us, you and me. Too often, our world leaders have served the interest of the few and mighty. We need to begin the movement of restructuring centuries of faulty ideas and promises from its grassroots, the people. There are few on Earth that can argue with the concept that the essence of being a human being and the goal of every individual is the achievement of the five principles.

No matter where you are born, to which God you pray or your “social class” our efforts have always been concentrated in improving our family, friends, home, food and our resourcefulness as a human being.

Let the movement of a global identity begin with us, so that we can take control of our own destiny.
