7) OTHER ISSUES
Certain global issues have to be revisited in the manners in which there are approached. These issues include;
TERRORISM; The issue of terrorism is the called of concern to the citizens of the world. It is a global fight by many governments. It is very common, to hear Heads of States, International diplomats and citizens denounce terrorism. No one really ask what terrorism is all about. For sure no one was born a terrorist. Asked Bin Laden, what he wanted to be in future when he was a child, perhaps he will say a doctor. These are people like us with greed in them. They have a rude way of making their voice heard. The act of terrorism is not a fight between Islam and Christianity as some politician try to make it to be. It is a fight for freedom, respect, acknowledgement and acceptance. I am by no way supporting terrorism, their acts are devious, that crystal clear. But we have to accept the fact that someone’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.
The solution of this aspect of terrorism is to look at the foundation of the matter, rather than spending billions of dollars embarking on the so-called ‘’wars against terrorism’’. That is, the greed of these people carrying this devious arts. We should abolish the idiotic political principle that Government does not negotiate with terrorist. The government is for the people and has to negotiate with the people. If government do not negotiate with terrorism, then is enough reason to say that terrorism will never end,. This is because in this highly diverse world, some group of people will always feel disrespected, abandon etc.
Hence, terrorists are not out casts, there are people that need immediate attendance; there have much to offer for the world to be better. Moreover, the first terrorist of time was Nelson Mandela. Today he is seen as a symbol of unity, peace and love.
RECONCILATION; Humankind has a gift that many have abandon. That is, the gift of reconciliation. It is a very good quality needed for the world’s unity, but often taken for granted. The act of simple reconciliation has prevented some highly foreseeable catastrophes in the world. Come to think about what would have happened between the United State and Japan, if not of the fact that the United State accepted her fault and strived to reconcile with Japan. Or more still between Germany and Israel. Reconciliation is a major political tool that is very much less emphasized. It is no bad policy for the Governments to accept haven made mistakes and look forward to correct them. It solves a lot of problems.
Conclusively, a global stress on the above mentioned issues would create room for Unity to be established. Unity will solve many other world issues such as racism, corruption, discrimination, poverty etc. the respect of human rights will not need much emphasis, since every one will be seen as being 1/whole of the success of what/where ever he/she finds his/her selves.
Nevertheleast, it must be remembered that a united humanity is not an end in itself for the Society, it is a means to its Aim. It is not enough for the Society to preserve and unite the human species indefinitely. It must discover how to take advantage of human unity to find a means for human kind to free itself from the oblivion of death.

omg! i totally agree! Marino Harker-Smith | Sep 5th, 2006
heya! brilliant piece!
i totally agree with the whole unity in diversity thing. i strongly believe in embracing our differences to accept each other and form a united global community.
The meaning of the word COMMUNITY needs reinformed if we want to have a global society that respects each other and less conflict.
I also agree with what u said about the supreme being and islam vs christianity stuff... why can we not all agree that we are all worshiping the same supreme being/creator??
