When everyone drops the barriers that separate us: politics, religion, class, money, race, creed, patriotism, etc., then we will all understand that we need the same simple things to survive---food, water, shelter, --- resources. Take away the divisionary aspects that divide people, and realize we are all connected. Think about it!!
I don't know why people identify themselves as Democrat or Republican, Christian or Muslim, Black or White, etc., we are human beings needing the same things to survive on a finite planet.

In the idea of future, do you think that the regional differences will still have the greatest influence as they do today? Or will these differences disappear?
Our problems today are enormous and global in their scope and impact. They cannot be solved by any one nation. The concept of common good is global in nature, but local in implementation.
We must start with what we have in common. All social systems, regardless of political philosophy, religious beliefs, or social customs, ultimately depend upon natural resources like clean air and water, arable land, and the technology and personnel to maintain a high standard of living. This can be accomplished through the intelligent and humane application of science and technology using a global systems approach. When money and self interests are outgrown, interaction between nations won't be based on self interest, but on mutual interest. This approach will help eliminate artificial boundaries that separate people.
