What do you think of this statement? Does it seem logical?

Adversarial principles govern many of our social institutions: politics, the courts, business, and even many professional and social activities. To an even greater extent do adversarial principles govern the running of international affairs. When statesmen come together in international bodies such as the United Nations, it is almost axiomatic that their only concern will be what is best for their own country regardless of what effect this may have on the rest of the world. This combative approach is undesirable. Society should be regarded as an organism, such as the human body. The organs of the body are different from each other, and yet, for the body to function effectively, the various parts need to work in unity and harmony.

Most of the problems that the world faces (including environmental pollution, desertification, global warming, the gap between the rich and poor nations, and INSECURITY) are only soluble if they are dealt with at a global level. These problems will therefore continue to get worse until the world wakes up to this fact.

Indeed quite logical.... I would like to add just one thought here.

It all really begins with the individual....... how much is one willing to compromise self interest for the sake of the welfare of the others..... with individual freedom being hoisted as the greatest value to be pursued by powerful nations, the collective security, peace and well being are undergoing major erosion.... the individual values have to change if any unity and direction has to be achieved at family, social, national or global levels. The erosion of values at the individual level is at the root of the problems.
