Counter-Balance
This page addresses the concerns of the views, observations, within this site in relation to a international perspective.
Precautions on International Perspective:
A person should not be ethnocentric when addressing, viewing, critizing issues of international relevance.
A person should be aware that our independent thoughts are only a piece of the bigger whole.
I Claim That:
Majority of the ideas posted here are opinions.
The best resource is a book, the views posted here are from one individual perspective.
There may be incorrect information posted within this blog, to which the author assumes responsability and encourages corrections from a reader(s).
The majority of my early research is obtained from WIKIPEDIA.COM, and my knowledge is limited to that obtained.

Blog Under Re-organization
I apologize if it causes confusion, but I will be re-organizing this blog. You may see repeated posts. Some of the Links are not functional, and the links will be updated constantly to produce sharp and clear ideas.
The Idea
An idea is larger than the universe.
I felt that it was necessary to clarify and summarize some of the ideas (in developement) so as not to confuse whomever reads this blog.
Since high school, I've been interested in the idea of unity. Everywhere we go, we encounter some sort of issue that relates to unity. Whether it be some local disagreement to a greater problem that is more complex and harder to deal with. My interest and my 'hobby' will be to try to find a way to bring greater unity within people. I sometimes think that its ridiculous to imagine such a thing. But I'm pretty sure that to many of you may agree that reaching Mars can be as ridiculous as any idea out there, or do you? If an idea exists, then everything is possible.
I am not trying to pretend to be something I am not. I do not want to get something out of anything except to think and to grow, to expand the way I think, and to hopefully do something that will help people out. I do not know the answers, I do not know the questions. I think. I think dumb things and not so dumb things. If you prove something wrong, then you have done a greater good than you have ever imagined.
My name is Marco. I will always be glad to hear from your thoughts, your ideas. However, my goal is to bring unity, and I will take into account the ideas that will push what I believe in into that direction.
There is always a reason of why things don't go in a harmonious way. Problems of a global scale are harder to solve as long as there exists doubt, interests, distrust, and unfair competition.
Famine, disease, inequality, human rights, environment, destruction of culture and all of those invisible problems of which I am not aware of, are some of the issues that will never be solved unless we all are in the same page.
Accountability is one of the biggest reasons of why things are or may not be solved. Who is accountable for the responsability of 100's people dying? Who is accountable for the spread of disease on a global scale? Who is responsible for human rights violations? Who is the owner of all the world? Who or what is responsible for hate among countries? Who is responsible to make things better? If there is no established system, then the individual organizations that fight for justice by themselves is unfair.
Accountability by international standards is politically existant. However, the reason why we continue to have the 'problems' on a global scale is because I believe that there is no true accountability.
I believe that the world is truly what we make it to be. We are a product of this earth, along with all nature. Earth is ours, and we belong to Earth. This world is not ABOUT countries and boundaries. This world is not about territories and money. We were born into all of that. All of that exists to maintain order and structure, but we can choose to teach a different mentality.
The way we relate to everything else that happens in the world from our standing point of view is Nationalism.
Everything that is done in the modern era is for a "nation." This type of mentality is extremely outdated. The most wealthiest nation and its leaders sponsors that type of mentality. We should be proud of our culture and our roots, but nations are imaginary boundaries created to separate people (and improve organization, for that matter).
In today's standards a nation grows powerful to serve the people and nature. Why should there be a limit on the aid of people within one nation? How could we continue to get wealthier and richer while hearing what is going on in other places? Obviously, someone somewhere in the other place of the earth is getting damaged and getting poorer.
What I am aiming for is an Idea.
Nations should continue to serve the people and nature. However, im my opinion, our vision on who we should have allegiance to should be greater than that of a nation.
The majority of the leaders of the world are located here, within these borders, (I believe). However, they are limited to help only one nation (ironically, we all came from other nations in a previous generation).
There should always be respect for an organizational/governmental system that guarantees my ability to live freely.
However, I have more alligeance in the unity & future of all people.

Objectives/Goals
The overall purpose of United Countries of the World is to prove wrong the possibility of a united world. A possible scenario that could address many of the common issues that affect humanity, is a "global" system of governmental organization.
In order to accomplish this, UCotW will:
Objectives/Goals:
Continually update a blog (the purpose) that addresses:
-Issues that countries struggle to accomplish on a global context, for the improvement of humanity.
-Summarize "global manifestos" that have sprouted among various organizations (and cite them).
-Visualize what the purpose should be for a global system of government.
Critize work found through research that encompasses Globalization, and those pieces (of work) that already exist... which address the possibility of a planetary form of organization. Also, it will explore and teach of organizations, events that exist for a global-humanity improvement at all levels.
Globalization will be explored under the following categories:
-Political
-Economical
-Social
Links will be updated for those that share a vision embracing/preaching unity among the people.
Cautions & balance of ideas will be established.
Organize a team of thinkers that can pave a way for unity.
UCotW will attempt to prove global unity through law, as a wrong path for humanity.

Fact, Fiction & Globalization
Hello, welcome back to UCotW. I will try to update this blog at least once a week.
Today, I wanted to write about the dangers of good, fact & fiction, and continue to define my evolving purpose as I dig into my belief on Unity.
You should always question.
Now Ignorance, Insensibility, & Intolerance. I believe that these are dangerous tools that people possess as they try to do good. Yes, people in power that try to "do good" have the power to do greater and bigger damage if they carry the adjectives mentioned above: Ignorance, Insensibility & Intolerance (to mention a few).
For example, take this blog into consideration. This blog, even though its intentions are good, can do a lot of damage if it continues to evolve unchecked, unmodified in its ideals, and deaf from the slightest critics. I could wave a flag with a symbol of peace & unity, and that still does not mean that "what is declared or stated here" is right. Waving a flag "of good" does not give anyone the power to step on what other people believe and attempt to destroy it.
In fact, it is possible that leaders in power believe that they are right and everyone else is wrong under an emblem of peace & unity. They believe that a simple speech, some symbolical donations or contributions to the poor, and the fact that they are in power give them a divine right to speak for everyone else.
Now, I wanted to give myself as an example. I write. I believe in unity. I am ignorant, I may be unsensible to certain topics that I may not know profoundly or understand, and even I may be intolerant to some accusations that are done against me. I believe that everyone with a mind possesses these traits that are derived from human nature. However, I am aware that I possess these traits, same as anyone else. I am ignorant. When I write, I am responsible for causing an effect in another person and it can be a totally irresponsible consequence without the proper balance/cautions.
Passion, opinion, beliefs... that is in reality what a person communicates when they are the head of a group, a speaker. FACTS are the best way to demonstrate a result, an effect, a wish, an idea, a desire.
I am ignorant, but I will continue to educate myself in order to prove or disprove my ideals. I am a person with faults and only by proving me wrong, you will do a greater good.
Examples of statemets that carry fact & fiction through my writtings & my beliefs:
Fiction: I believe that the world will be better through a world wide form of government
Fact: I will try to prove whether Unity will better serve the people in a world-wide context.
Fiction: I believe that the rich are taking over the world.
Fact: I will try to prove whether the global trade benefits a few while endangering the majority.
Fiction: What I write today is what I believe in the future.
Fact: What I write today will evolve as knowledge of what I am searching for progresses.
My first stage of research will be primarily composed of webpages, organization webpages, and encyclopedic online webpages. I will be citing strongly WIKIPEDIA.COM.
Today, I would like to modify my Purpose and my Objectives:
First, I want to continue in developing a Blog (The Purpose) that addresses the issues that encompasses my beliefs in greater unity among people. I have begun to see a tendency for many other writers, where they have created a "Global Manifesto" of their own. I would like to cite and gather all those ideas and summarize it into my own.
Second, I would like to critize whatever work I find through my research that revolves around Globalization, and those that already exist... that address the possibility of a planetary form of organization. I would like to define globalization for those of us that do not know what it is and what encompasses.
Third, I would like to create a page that links those that share a vision that encompasses unity among the people.
Fourth, I would like to develop a blog that cautions "what I say" (meaning, I will try to balance what I say and caution my beliefs).
Fifth, I will attempt strongly to address and become informed of the three main branches that encompass globalization:
-Political
-Economical
-Social
Sixth, I will attempt to interest you, the reader, to participate and share your mind... and therefore create a team that works collaboratively to address these objectives and steps.
Seventh, I will try to update and reorganize constantly this blog.
Eight, I will try to prove what I believe in, as wrong.
Through these, I hope to get one step closer into uncovering whether or not, this world will be further improved by reshaping nationalism into that of a global lawful cause.
