What are some common things the USA and all the countries or states of the world could unite on the basis of?

Question

What common interests, concerns, values, ideals could the USA and all the countries or states of the world could unite on the basis of?

The nations, countries and states of the world could unite on the basis of common ideals.

We could put together a list of common social problems. Once the social problems are agreed upon the next thing is how to mitigate and possible solve these social problems.

Ideally solving any and all social problems of the world begins with Godly virtues.

Answer 2

The Seti Institute is looking for signals from another world. If found, they will probably reveal a society of beings that are as similar to us as we are to cabbage. Such a revelation would probably point out the differences between peoples is so trivial that we would feel much more alike.
Unfortunately it usually takes a threat to unite unrealted peoples, so a disaster such as global warming, a meteor strike, a mega erruption, or maybe hostile overtures from extra-terrestials would have that effect. It would be nice if it could come from the goodness of our hearts.

Answer 3

Sadly,I cant see them uniting on anything....at least, not very soon:

.Global warming...the U.S officially doesn't think it's a threat.
.Iran and North Korea...the rest of the world doesn't think they are threats.
.Fighting global poverty....when you mention Mozambique people in the U.S say " Mozam....what?!"
.Fighting global disease...some people would ratherbomb U.S citizens,while the U.S would do all it can to prevent the disease from coming in.
. The war on terror...okay, the U.S has convinced the rest of the world that there is a threat, but they disagree on causes and modalities.

.Okay football...the U.S doesn't think "soccer"' is that big of a deal....The Indonesians are (sadly)grappling with a wave of natural disasters...The Chinese prefer ping pong,...and the Indians...they'd rather play cricket! That's more than half the population of humanity we're talking about....while the rest get united on the pitches in most of Germany!

So you see....it's hard to agree...!

Answer 4

1. Total Nuclear disarmament
2. UN should undertake production of enriched uranium for peaceful purposes.
3. Make use of barren lands in poor countries for cultivation.
4. Eliminate religious powers from government machinery.
5. Avoid pleasing of any religion from ruling level.
Like that there can be many....

Answer 5

I'd say a massive natural or extraterrestrial event that would halt the infighting and instill a massive co-op. Global warming would be a good start. But if you want immediate results. Yellowstone Caldera eruption, Intergalactic Invasion would do the trick.

Answer 6

Impeaching George Bush.

Then sentance him to work for minimum wage for the rest of his life to see how the other half lives!

Answer 7

Idiosyncrasies.

Answer 8

to end hunger.
feed the world,
every nation has its problems...ours included..

combine resources, share ideas and crop techniques, internationalize research...

feed the world..

stop fighting over what we believe is different..one thing is the same....for all of us...
by tomorrow night,
we will be hungry.

Answer 9

Common=the other gender-openly & welcomed...acceptance of interracial relationships from us all would be the biggest step.....

It would be a giant step if most/all of us(the whole world)would welcome & accept other cultures...and want to learn more of others without prejudice & racism...

Every other topic(religion,politics,
special interests,etc)takes a backseat to the above...believe it or not.

Answer 10

That we're all human beings and there's only one world available for everyone.

But BEING "human" dictates that that would never happen.
