Why can't we all live as one human race instead of being seperated by countries?

Question

Wouldn't many of the barrier that seperate different people of the world and create discrimination be broken down if we just forgot about being "American" or "French" or "Mexican" or "Chinese" and realized that we are all just human beings? Sure we are all different and come from different cultures and upbringings but that is the one thing that connects everyone together. We are seperated by coutries though. I mean people judge other human beings from what country they live in and are so ignorant about other cultures and ideas. Wouldn't this world be a better place if we could all live as one race of human beings?

Answer 1

Because there unfortunately there is evil and greed in the world.

Answer 2

We have a snake in our Garden of Eden, Earth. There are enough Sociopaths and Psychopaths on this planet that we can never have the paradise that good people want.

If we can't get along in families, how can we get along in countries, or a one world government?

Sociopaths and Psychopaths are extremely cunning, but criminally insane. There is no known mechanism in government or medicine to give them a conscience or to control them. They are among us everywhere and can't be detected, sort of like monsters that kill but can't be killed.

In those situations where everyone is muddy and bloody, so to speak, they always come out squeaky clean. They arrange things so that they always look good and win; and they have no conscience about how they do it.

Answer 3

All people are a similar species. Genetically speaking, you and that i, even idea we've by no skill even met, are more desirable similar than, say, a 2 sibling dogs. So, like each and every animals are categorized by using call (imagine about what percentage differing varieties of birds) we've races. notwithstanding, most of those birds are more desirable genetically multiple than a Caucasian is with an African). i wager you may inspect it as being a similar component, only a special time period. :P

Answer 4

I agree with you to an extent. The only problem is there can be no 1 ruler.

I'll tell you a little story: My husband and I went back to visit our old neighborhood in Brooklyn (it was originally Italian, Jewish, and Irish 10 years ago). Well when we drove through, school was letting out (always mass confusion). There retrieving their children were, Muslims, Jewish, Italians, Asians, and Russians. All laughing and helping eachother. Isn't it amazing how everyone can share a neighborhood, but not a planet?
Maybe the world leaders should take a ride out to Bensonhurst, Brooklyn

Answer 5

It would be nice but the difficulty is that human beings are tribal/group bonded above all else. The US military understands this and thats why troops are organized as they are. Platoons are at the optimal number for this kind of thinking. The world in general operates on this premise. Thats why Balkanization is such a successful method of global domination. Divide the people into the subgroups that they desire and then getting their resources is simple.

Answer 6

Well, yes, but that will never happen.
All the people of all the different races and countries that are alive today are descended from those who were fittest to survive in the first place. Namely by killing off weaker less aggressive neighbors.
What we are left with still exists - an aggressive, basically killer or be killed humanity. Throw in greed, power, fear and WMD's and it's more likely we will just kill each other off eventually.

Answer 7

What a nice thought?
I too think so.
But i remember in 1962 Cinese attacked India by saying Hindi - Chini all brothers! They won lot of area and yet don't release it.

In this world the majority of people are cheaters, greedy, deceitful, proudful, lewed , bruttle, cruel, proudful and envious or malicious. Therefore our desire can't come true.
But we can form a club and enjoy our freedom, help each other and love all. There will not be any obstruction or barrier.

Answer 8

Yes. But by doing that, we'd forget about our cultures and history basically. Also information like race aids in helping catch criminals. ie if a murderer described as being tan, brown eyes and brown hair was on the loose, we wouldn't know if that could be his natural features and he could change his look easily and get away. But if they know someone's Mexican for example, it gives them a basic idea of how he's going to look no matter what and how he might speak. But yes, it would be nice to live as one race without countries but it's just not in the cards right now.

Answer 9

The reason there are races is largely because people evoled in different areas according to the conditions and did not have air travel, etc. This has been around for 50 or so years vs the hundreds of thousands of years it took for modern man to get here. In a relatively short time if we are not extinct, we will become closer to a real melting pot. It will not be in our lifetime though.

Answer 10

Because there are some who benefit from the racism and indifference's that exist between men.

Holy Qu'ran
The Koran tells us that: "O mankind! We created you from a single pair of a male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other and not that you may despise each other." (49:13)

"And among His Signs
Is the creation of the heavens
And the earth, and the variations
In your languages
And your colours; verily
In that are Signs
For those who know."
Holy Quran 30:22

"The Europeans in South Africa dread the advent of Islam, as they( Muslims)
claim equality with the white races. They may well dread it. If brotherhood
is a sin, if it is equality of the coloured races that they dread, then
their dread is well-founded."
Mohandas K. Ghandi


"The extinction of race consciousness as between Muslims is one of the
outstanding achievements of Islam, and in the contemporary world there is,
as it happens, a crying need for the propagation of this Islamic virtue."
Professor A.J. Toynbee in New York 1948

Islam is not a racist religion, nor does it preach racism. The peoples of
other faiths have always enjoyed religious toleration under Islam; when the
Jews were being persecuted in the rest of Europe, they found freedom and
sanctity in Muslim Spain. Their historians regard that as one of their
Golden Eras. In the Muslim countries today, Christians are permitted to
practise their faith as freely as any country; the Churches in my home town
of Abu Dhabi are large in number, and one of my closest family friends, an
Anglican priest. Inter-cultural marriages are common in Islam; I am the
composite of five different cultures.

Answer 11

It's a nice idea, but have you ever seen Star Trek: The Next Generation? The BORG were all one big world.
