The idea of creating global dialogues was first brought forward in a report on global changes published in 1990 by Germain Dufour. The report contained 450 policies (workable sound solutions) on sustainable development, and was presented to the United Nations, the Government of Canada, the provincial government of Alberta and several non-profit organizations and scientists.

There was a need at the time for helping humanity back onto the path of survival this millennium. There is still a need for such help and most likely will continue to be so forever.

Global dialogues are the source of new ideas and finding new ways for our survival and taking along with us other lifeforms on the planet. 

The people of Global Community, are using global dialogues to resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human rights abuses.

In order to bring about the event of peace, Global Community is offering other good organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. We can accomplish this task by concrete actions such as:

a) Tracking armed conflicts within and between nations around the world and offering assistance in dispute resolution;

b) Promoting human rights and democracy;

c) Monitoring democratic elections;and 

d) Educating the public about the advantages of a peaceful solution to any conflict. Global Community also proposes that all nations of the world promote the Scale of Human and Earth Rights and the criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship.

Every global community citizen lives a life with the higher values described in the Scale and the criteria. Global community citizens are good members of the human family. Most global problems, including global warming and world overpopulation, can be managed through acceptance of the Scale and the criteria. 

Global Community can contribute in evaluating options and strategies for adapting to climate change as it occurs, and in identifying human activities that are even now maladapted to climate. There are two fundamental types of response to the risks of climate change:

1. reducing the rate and magnitudes of change through mitigating the causes, and

2. reducing the harmful consequences through anticipatory adaptation.

Mitigating the causes of global warming implies limiting the rates and magnitudes of increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, either by reducing emissions or by increasing sinks for atmospheric CO2. Reducing the harmful consequences can be achieved by co-operating together with the global ministries on climate change and emergencies.

Global Community has created the https://globalcommunitywebnet.com/globalcommunity/globalministries.htm global ministries to help humanity be prepared to fight the harmful consequences of a global warming through anticipatory adaptation. The global ministries on climate change and emergencies are now operating. The ministries have developed:

1. policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and

2. strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change.

Global Community has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within Global Community. We will work together in working out sound solutions to local and global problems. It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it).

There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better. Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future.

Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. Global Community can help people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.

The responsibility of a peacemaker is to settle differences through compromise and negotiation before they erupt into violence. Conflicting views do not have to bring about fighting. War is an irreversible solution to a problem. War is never an appropriate solution to resolve a conflict.  Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations through the process of the  Earth Court of Justice.

Proceedings from 1985 to 2024.

From 1985 to today in 2024, we have published meetings, reports, participant lists and monthly Newsletters concerning Global Community vision to save the world, all Life on our planet, and at the same time keep up improving our global democracy, global constitution, and Global Parliament.

One of the most important factors in our lives is the inter-connection we now have to others, to other countries. Through these connections we are able to create changes for good on a global scale. We are all  linked to others in faraway places on a much deeper level, and we are working together to keep our planet healthy, productive and hospi table for all people and living things.

Indeed, we have become Global Community, the multicivilizational Community, the human family. Every human being now lives within "a Global Community." This is his (her) global private community. One imagines he is inside a glass bubble ~ everything he can see from this glass bubble is his own "global community." Wherever we go, we are inside "a Global Community." Everything, every living creature there, interacts one upon the other. Influences inter-weave and are responsible for causes and effects. We are worlds within worlds orbiting in and out of one another's space.

Glass Bubble concepts of a Global Community.

glass bubbles

( see enlargement  Enlargement)



Every single human being must deal responsibly with the affairs going on in his/her own "glass bubble" ~ when a person takes personal responsibility for his own affairs ~ he becomes empowered as a person. Over the past centuries, the human species has given control to leaders to govern their affairs anyway they wish. War, conflicts and human miseries, and destruction of the environment resulted. Now control has been given back to the individual. Survival has forced the issue. The individual can deal with his own affairs, reach beyond his own property and family, and help to work with others living in and around, even a part of the local community he lives in ~ the villages, the town community, the surrounding territory, and so on. When the 'individual' is a  local community, it becomes possible for its people to influence the political chain of power of the national level and to Global Community. Politicians have now to deal with communities and their needs to sustain themselves. People have become conscious of the power and control they have and are no longer subject to the wishes of an unfit governing body. Socio-political-economic reconstruction was achieved, and it is successful in sustaining the Earth.

The key is personal responsibility. Therefore the individual is the important element, one who takes responsibility for his community. An 'individual' here may be a person, a corporation, a NGO, a local community, a group of people, an organization, a business, a nation, or a government.

Theme this month.

Archangel Uriel has declared that God rejected the eternal covenant of Israel and Jewish people.

Email Reviews by Archangel Uriel

  • Reform Judaism and the eternal covenant

    The idea of chosenness is morally prohibited, morally impermissible, and acts one ought not to do, and Global Community does not allow that because anyone who has such beliefs implies the superiority of the elect community and the rejection of others.

    I am that I am the Archangel Uriel and declare that the idea of chosenness in Judaism is morally wrong and that the eternal covenant is no longer existing and God has now rejected the covenant.



  • Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, slams International Criminal Court(I.C.C.) for seeking warrants against him and Israel’s defense minister, and said that was an attempt to deny Israel its right of self-defense.

    I am that I am the Archangel Uriel and declare that Netanyahu and the warriors from the USA military base in Israel are the invaders of Palestine. On the other end, Hamas stresses the necessity of maintaining the independence of Palestinian national decision-making. Outside forces should not be allowed to intervene. At the same time, Hamas affirms the responsibility of the Arabs and the Muslims and their duty and role in the liberation of Palestine from Zionist occupation. There is no doubt that an occupying Power does not have the right to self-defence against the people it is occupying, as those people, according to international humanitarian law, have the right to self-defence. The West’s complicity, especially the USA for supplying armaments to Israel and creating the world most dangerous USA military base in Israel with the only goal of seeking the invasion of the world, has made Gaza not only a graveyard of children but a graveyard of international law. Nobody is above the law, and grave breaches of international law and norms must have consequences. We call on the Global Community Member States, Global Parliament, global citizens, and civil society alike, to redouble efforts to end the occupation, end this ongoing Nakba, and bring to reality the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including to self-determination and independence and a just resolution to the plight of Palestine refugees. Global Community citizens continue to work towards the day that the Palestinian people will enjoy all their inalienable rights and live in a State of their own, in peace and prosperity.

    Israel's war in Gaza has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, around two-thirds of them children and women. Israeli authorities have deepened the apartheid system oppressing Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, by implementing laws and policies of segregation, deprivation and forced displacement. Today, we again remember the events of 1948 and subsequent years, which led to the dispossession and displacement of approximately 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral lands.

    Between 1948 and 2024, Israel continued this illegal actions. The Nakba has been an ongoing process affecting the Palestinian people over generations. In the 1967 war, Israel occupied these territories (Gaza Strip and the West Bank) including East Jerusalem, which was subsequently annexed by Israel. The Gaza Strip and the West Bank are two Palestinian territories that were part of Mandate Palestine and were captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967. There are over 5 million Palestinians combined living in the two territories. Palestinian people across the world observe what is known as Nakba Day, the solemn anniversary of the day in 1948 when the Arab-Israeli War began, precipitating a wave of displacement and expulsion among the Palestinian population. There is no doubt that an occupying Power does not have the right to self-defence against the people it is occupying, as those people, according to international humanitarian law, have the right to self-defence. The West’s complicity, especially the USA for supplying armaments to Israel and creating the world most dangerous USA military base in Israel with the only goal of seeking the invasion of the world, has made Gaza not only a graveyard of children but a graveyard of international law. Israel's war in Gaza has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, around two-thirds of them children and women. Israeli authorities have deepened the apartheid system oppressing Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, by implementing laws and policies of segregation, deprivation and forced displacement. Today, we again remember the events of 1948 and subsequent years, which led to the dispossession and displacement of approximately 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral lands.

    Global Community Member States and civil society alike must redouble efforts to end the occupation and this ongoing Nakba, and realize the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including to self-determination and independence as well as a just resolution to the plight of Palestine refugees and any of five acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, religious, or Palestinian group. The Nakba encompasses both a personal tragedy for every Palestinian family and a collective or group deed in which most of an entire nation was uprooted overnight from its ancestral land while the rest were treated like strangers in their own country. The Nakba is an enterprise of displacement and replacement of people that continues to this very day, and it took 75 years for the UN to recognize and commemorate it. Today, the people in Gaza are besieged, bombed and starved with the aim of their destruction or removal. The Israeli no longer hides its true intentions of a second Nakba, leaving the Palestinians with three options: displacement, subjugation, or deaths, in other words, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or genocide. The declared goal of the West should be to rectify Europe’s centuries-old Jewish question in the wake of the Holocaust and to do so at the expense of the innocent third-party Palestinians adding that little to nothing is being done to stop the Nakba by those in a position to do so. Also admit, confess, and be conscious of that both Apartheid in South Africa and the Nakba in Palestine were enabled by Western colonial interests, pointing out that the United States is currently the main enabler of the current version of the Nakba that is under way in Gaza. Since the creation of the “special relationship” between the Governments of the United States and Israel in 1967, the former has guaranteed the latter absolute impunity, including at the UN, where Washington, D.C., has used its veto to undermine efforts towards a ceasefire in 2006, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2021 and “now again today”. Spotlighting the UN’s role in the struggle against Apartheid, Global Community urges the USA and the UN to advocate that Justice should be on the right side of history. Global Community citizens are against genocide, and involves addressing deep systematic injustices, stressing that prevention is far superior to treatment. Now trapped in Rafah, Global Community doctors are treating patients while sleeping on the floor. Their commitment is only strengthened by the suffering of the children in Gaza. The Nakba of 1948 and today’s Nakba in Gaza are not two separate, distinct events. Israel’s ongoing actions all that time in between, including occupation and dispossession of Palestinian property, denial of rights, arbitrary arrests including of children, brutal and disproportionate use of force, Judaization of East Jerusalem and its cultural symbols, eviction and displacement of its inhabitants. The Nakba is an ongoing process affecting the Palestinian people over generations. Conflict is spreading in the Middle East, the Security Council appears paralyzed, and Member States are divided. Global Parliament is telling what can be done, we urge global citizens, civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations, Governments and international organizations to play their part, working together. Within Global Community global citizens play a key role in advocacy.

    The Nakba encompasses both a personal tragedy for every Palestinian family and a collective deed. It is a historic injustice endured by an entire nation, a majority of which was uprooted overnight from its ancestral land while the rest were treated like strangers in their own country. The Nakba is an enterprise of displacement and replacement of people that continues to this very day, and it took 75 years for the UN to recognize and commemorate this terrible reality still endured by the Palestinian people.

    An armed conflict between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups has been taking place chiefly in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023. Clashes have also occurred in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and with Hezbollah along the Israel–Lebanon–Golan Heights border.

    I am that I am the Archangel Uriel and declare that the people in Gaza are besieged, bombed and starved with the aim of their destruction or removal. The Israeli Government no longer hides its true intentions of “a second Nakba”, leaving the Palestinians with three options: displacement, subjugation, or deaths — in other words, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or genocide. Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and all his ministers, must be held responsible and stopped. Israel and all Jewish people all over the world must be asked to pay for the rebuilding of Palestine (and that certainly includes the Gaza Strip).



  • The Land of Israel in the Bible (Hebrew: אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, Modern: ʾEreṣ Yīsraʾel, Tiberian: ʾEreṣ Yīsrāʾēl)

    The Land of Israel is the traditional Jewish name for an area of the Southern Levant. The name Levant States was used to refer to the French mandate over Syria and Lebanon after World War I. This is probably the reason why the term Levant has come to be used more specifically to refer to modern Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, and Cyprus. Related biblical, religious, and historical English terms include the Land of Canaan, the Promised Land, the Holy Land, and Palestine. Jewish people whoever they may be are calling it the Promised Land and the Holy Land, meaning that today, the actual Land of Israel (and defined simply as "Israel" today: Israel, a Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea) is the actual land as promised by God.

    I am that I am the Archangel Uriel and declare that the Land of Israel (and defined simply as "Israel" today: Israel, a Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea) is no longer existing and God has rejected the idea of Judaism as being associated or has been referred with the "Land".The Land of Israel is no longer existing and all Jews are required to find another land to live. They are required to pay completely for the rebuilding of Palestine. They are also required to leave behind all armaments, weapons and military equipment belonging to the army or country, including nuclear armaments, ships and planes. Global Protection Agency(GPA) will train and lead a global force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO. The Global Protection Agency (GPA) (https://globalcommunitywebnet.com/gceg/gpa.htm) is leading a group of people in the world who participate in: a) peacekeeping or peacemaking mission; b) creating global ministries for: 1. the policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and 2. the development of strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change. c) enforcing global law; d) saving the Earth's genetic heritage; e) keeping the world healthy and at peace; f) protecting the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet; g) dealing with the impacts of: global poverty, lack of drinking water and food, global warming and the global climate change, threat to security, conflicts and wars, lack of good quality soil for agriculture, polluted air, water and land, overcrownded cities, more new and old diseases out of control, widespread drugs, human and Earth rights abuses, world overpopulation, and lack of resources; h) broadening the traditional focus of the security of states to include both the security of people as well as that of the planet. Global security policies include: * every person on Earth has a right to a secure existence, and all states have an obligation to protect those rights * prevention of conflicts and wars; identification, anticipation, and resolving conflicts before they become armed confrontations. The Earth Court of Justice will help here. * military force is not a legitimate political instrument * weapons of mass destruction are not legitimate instruments of national defence * eliminate all weapons of mass destruction from all nations and have inspectors verifying progress to that effect * all nations should sign and ratify the conventions to eliminate nuclear, chemical and biological weapons * the production and trade in arms should be listed as a criminal act against humanity; this global ministry will introduce a Convention on the curtailment of the arms trade, a provision for a mandatory Arms Register and the prohibition of the financing or subsidy of arms exports by governments * the development of military capabilities is a potential threat to the security of people and all life on Earth; the ministry will make the demilitarization of global politics a high priority. * anticipating and managing crises before they escalate into armed conflicts and wars * maintaining the integrity of the environment and global life-support systems * managing the environmental, economic, social, political and military conditions that threatened the security of people and all life on the planet * over the past decades and even now today, all Five Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council (mostly the United States, Russia and Britain) were responsible for selling weapons and war equipment. These three nations are required to give back to the Global Community an amount of 8 trillion dollars (American) as a payment for the immense damage they have caused in the world. They have created a culture of violence throughout the world. They are nation bullies, nation predators. They are responsible for economic mismanagement, ethnic tensions, crimes, drug abuse, high unemployment, urban stress, worldwide poverty, and pressures on natural resources. Most conflicts in the world are direct legacies of cold war power politics, senseless politics. Other conflicts were caused by the end of the cold war and the collapse of old regimes. Other factors have combined to increase tension: religious, economical, political, and ethnic aspects. The dollar fine is to be administered by Global Parliament.



  • Political situation of Palestine. The ongoing process of Nakba affecting the Palestinian people over generations leaving the Palestinians with three options: displacement, subjugation, or deaths, in other words, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or genocide.

    I am that I am the Archangel Uriel and declare that the Land of Israel in the Bible (and defined simply as "Israel" today: Israel, a Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea) is no longer existing and God has rejected the idea of Judaism as being associated or has been referred with the "Land". The Land of Israel is no longer existing and all Jews are required to find another land to live. However, there is now universal recognition of the Palestinian people, and soon, it will be matched by universal recognition of the Palestinian State. There is a global consensus to end the Israeli occupation, fulfil Palestinian rights and Global Community. It is time for oriented toward, destined for, directed at, designed for, orientated towards, and focused on accountability and justice for the Palestinian people cause, and Global Community. It is time for a Global Constitution and Direct Democracy.

    In early times, Palestine was inhabited by Semitic peoples, the earliest being the Canaanites. According to tradition, Abraham, the common ancestor of the Jews and the Arabs, came from Ur to Canaan. Palestine in Jesus' day was part of the Roman Empire, which controlled its various territories in a number of ways.

    The root cause of the Israel Palestine conflict has its origins in the rise of Zionism in Europe and the arrival of Jewish settlers to Ottoman Palestine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The local Arab population opposed Zionism, primarily out of fear of territorial displacement and dispossession.

    In 1917, in order to win Jewish support for Britain's First World War effort, the British Balfour Declaration promised the establishment of a Jewish national home in Ottoman-controlled Palestine. But when the Balfour Declaration was signed, the British had already promised Palestine to Arabs as an independent state and promised the French government that it would be an internationally administered zone.

    The 1948 War came as the culmination of 30 years of friction between Jews and Arabs during the period of British rule of Palestine when, under the terms of the League of Nations mandate held by the British, conditions intended to lead to the creation of a Jewish National Home in the area were created. In 1948, Israel reformed Palestine. Zionist military forces expelled at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands and captured 78 percent of historic Palestine. The remaining 22 percent was divided into what are now the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.

    Between 1948 and 2024, Israel continued this illegal actions. The Nakba, thus, is an ongoing process affecting the Palestinian people over generations. In the 1967 war, Israel occupied these territories (Gaza Strip and the West Bank) including East Jerusalem, which was subsequently annexed by Israel. The Gaza Strip and the West Bank are two Palestinian territories that were part of Mandate Palestine and were captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967. There are over 5 million Palestinians combined living in the two territories.

    During the period 1920-1948, Israel has killed:

    Palestinian casualties of war:
    Total casualties for this period 20,631, including 6,092 fatalities.

    During the period 1948-2021, Israel has killed: Total casualties for this period 63,543, including 31,227 fatalities.

    Every year on May 15, 2024, Palestinian people across the world observe what is known as Nakba Day, the solemn anniversary of the day in 1948 when the Arab-Israeli War began, precipitating a wave of displacement and expulsion among the Palestinian population. There is no doubt that an occupying Power does not have the right to self-defence against the people it is occupying, as those people, according to international humanitarian law, have the right to self-defence. The West’s complicity has made Gaza “not only a graveyard of children but a graveyard of international law”.

    The war brought about a second exodus of Palestinians, estimated at half a million. Although the concept of the Palestine region and its geographical extent has varied throughout history, it is now considered to be composed by the modern State of Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

    Israel, a Middle Eastern country on the Mediterranean Sea, is regarded by Jews as the biblical Holy Land. Its most sacred sites are in Jerusalem. Within its Old City, the Temple Mount complex includes the Dome of the Rock shrine, the historic Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Israel's financial hub, Tel Aviv, is known for its Bauhaus architecture and beaches. Israeli authorities have deepened the apartheid system oppressing Palestinians in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, by implementing laws and policies of segregation, deprivation and forced displacement.

    The US support of Israel became greatly needed. Bilateral relations have evolved from an initial American policy of sympathy and support for the creation of a Jewish homeland in 1948, to a partnership that links a small but powerful state with a superpower attempting to balance influence against competing interests in the region, namely Russia and its allies.

    Israel's war in Gaza has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, around two-thirds of them children and women.

    Today, we again remember the events of 1948 and subsequent years, which led to the dispossession and displacement of approximately 750,000 Palestinians from their ancestral lands.

    Israel says its goals are to destroy Hamas. With six months of war having devasted their health, road, power, communication, water, sanitation, food and education systems, the people of Gaza are reduced to a hardscrabble existence in camps, under the constant threat of Israeli bombs. The Israeli response was and continues to be disproportionate and indiscriminate. Between 1948 and 2024, Israel continued its illegal actions. The Nakba is an ongoing process affecting the Palestinian people over generations.

    Global Community Member States and civil society alike must redouble efforts to end the occupation and this ongoing Nakba, and realize the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including to self-determination and independence as well as a just resolution to the plight of Palestine refugees and any of five acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, religious, or Palestinian group. The Nakba encompasses both a personal tragedy for every Palestinian family and a collective or group deed in which most of an entire nation was uprooted overnight from its ancestral land while the rest were treated like strangers in their own country. The Nakba is an enterprise of displacement and replacement of people that continues to this very day, and it took 75 years for the UN to recognize and commemorate it.

    Today, the people in Gaza are besieged, bombed and starved with the aim of their destruction or removal. The Israeli no longer hides its true intentions of a second Nakba, leaving the Palestinians with three options: displacement, subjugation, or deaths, in other words, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or genocide.

    However, there is now universal recognition of the Palestinian people, and soon, it will be matched by universal recognition of the Palestinian State. There is a global consensus to end the Israeli occupation, fulfil Palestinian rights and Global Community. It is time for oriented toward, destined for, directed at, designed for, orientated towards, and focused on accountability and justice for the Palestinian people cause, and Global Community. It is time for a Global Constitution and Direct Democracy.

    The declared goal of the West should be to rectify Europe’s centuries-old Jewish question in the wake of the Holocaust and to do so at the expense of the innocent third-party Palestinians adding that little to nothing is being done to stop the Nakba by those in a position to do so. Also admit, confess, and be conscious of that both Apartheid in South Africa and the Nakba in Palestine were enabled by Western colonial interests, pointing out that the United States is currently the main enabler of the current version of the Nakba that is under way in Gaza. Since the creation of the “special relationship” between the Governments of the United States and Israel in 1967, the former has guaranteed the latter absolute impunity, including at the UN, where Washington, D.C., has used its veto to undermine efforts towards a ceasefire in 2006, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2018, 2021 and “now again today”. Spotlighting the UN’s role in the struggle against Apartheid, Global Community urges the USA and the UN to advocate that Justice should be on the right side of history. Global Community citizens are against genocide, and involves addressing deep systematic injustices, stressing that prevention is far superior to treatment. Now trapped in Rafah, Global Community doctors are treating patients while sleeping on the floor. Their commitment is only strengthened by the suffering of the children in Gaza. The Nakba of 1948 and today’s Nakba in Gaza are not two separate, distinct events. Israel’s ongoing actions all that time in between, including occupation and dispossession of Palestinian property, denial of rights, arbitrary arrests including of children, brutal and disproportionate use of force, Judaization of East Jerusalem and its cultural symbols, eviction and displacement of its inhabitants. The Nakba is an ongoing process affecting the Palestinian people over generations. Conflict is spreading in the Middle East, the Security Council appears paralyzed, and Member States are divided. Global Parliament is telling what can be done, we urge global citizens, civil society organizations and non-governmental organizations, Governments and international organizations to play their part, working together. Within Global Community global citizens play a key role in advocacy.

    Nobody is above the law, and grave breaches of international law and norms must have consequences. We call on the Global Community Member States, Global Parliament, and civil society alike, to redouble efforts to end the occupation, end this ongoing Nakba, and bring to reality the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including to self-determination and independence and a just resolution to the plight of Palestine refugees. Global Community citizens continue to work towards the day that the Palestinian people will enjoy all their inalienable rights and live in a State of their own, in peace and prosperity.

    The Nakba encompasses both a personal tragedy for every Palestinian family and a collective deed. It is a historic injustice endured by an entire nation, a majority of which was uprooted overnight from its ancestral land while the rest were treated like strangers in their own country. The Nakba is an enterprise of displacement and replacement of people that continues to this very day, and it took 75 years for the UN to recognize and commemorate this terrible reality still endured by the Palestinian people. The people in Gaza are besieged, bombed and starved with the aim of their destruction or removal. The Israeli Government no longer hides its true intentions of “a second Nakba”, leaving the Palestinians with three options: displacement, subjugation, or deaths — in other words, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or genocide.


In this paper it is shown that saving humanity, all life on Earth, requires that Global Civilization be a civilizational state.

Civilizations are the most oldest and resilient social units ever existed because they are adapting and evolving with time through generations.

Human history stretches through generations and is the history of civilizations from ancient Sumerian and Egyptian to Classical and Mesoamerican to Christian and Islamic civilizations, and also through successive appearances of Sinic and Hindu civilizations. Civilization and culture both refer to the overall way of life of a people. They both involve the values, beliefs, norms, institutions, social structures, and modes of thinking to which successive generations in a given society have attaches primary importance. A civilization is the most extensive cultural entity. As such, villages, regions, ethnic groups, nationalities, religious groups, all have distinct cultures. For example, Chinese, Hindus, and Westerners constitute civilizations. A civilization is the highest cultural grouping of people defined by language, history, religion, customs, and institutions. The composition and shapes of civilizations change over time. The cultures of peoples interact and overlap. Empires rise and fall; governments come and go; but civilizations remain and survive political, social, economic, even ideological upheavals.

Because civilizations are cultural not political entities, they do not maintain order, establish justice, collect taxes, fight wars, negotiate treaties, or any other things which governments do. A civilization may contain one or many political parts such as city states, empires, federations, confederations, nation states, and multinational states.

In order to understand the rise of a civilizational state and of Global Civilization as a civilizational state, it is useful to understand the concept of a nation-state. A nation-state generally refers to a state made up of people who share some common traits such as language, religion and way of life. Europe is the birthplace of nation-states, and nationalism pushed much of Europe's nationhood and modernization, and also proved to be a major cause of conflicts and wars. During the 18th and 19th centuries, nation-states emerged one after another in Europe, the earliest nation-state being France. Our first description of a civilization with nation-states will be that of the Western civilization which emerged about A.D. 700 or 800. It has three major components: Europe, North America, and Latin America. A civilization is generally defined as an advanced state of human society with important characteristics. Historians, anthropologists, and other scholars have researched several core characteristics of civilization. Some of the most important characteristics of past and present major civilizations were included here.

Characteristics of past and present major civilizations and Western civilization modernization of the world.

Past and present major civilizations are: Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Persian, South Asian, East Asian, Mesoamerican, Andean, Sinic (Chinese), Japanese, Indian, Islamic, Western, Orthodox, Latin American, Sub-Saharan Africa, Oceanian, Ukraine-Mongolian, Ancient India, and Russian.

So in addition to disagreements as to whether given civilizations are still alive or defunct, there is also discord as to which are parts and which wholes.

Some civilizations are defined on a religious criterion, some on a geographic-regional criterion, some on an ethnic-national criterion, some civilizations are seen as independent, and others are seen as to be dependent upon other civilizations. While some civilizations covered relatively little territory, the extent of their influence nonetheless merits the term " civilization". The following list show most well known civilizations in the world.

Past and modern civilizations.


(see enlargement Modern day nations.)

A Global Civilization in which core states play a leading or dominating role is a global government type world. It is a world in which the exercise of influence by the core state is tempered and moderated by the common culture it shares with member states of its civilization. Cultural commonality legitimates the leadership and order-imposing role of the core state for both member states and for the external powers and institutions. In any given region where there is a dominant state peace can be achieved and maintained only through the leadership of that state. Regional power becomes responsible and legitimate when exercised by core states in relation to other members of their civilization. A core state can perform its ordering function because member states perceive it as cultural kinship, a system establishing their relationship to others and to Global Civilization, prescribing their responsibilities towards other people, the land and natural resources. Traditional kinship structures remain important in many communities today. While culture is the full range of learned human behavior patterns, that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society, and, as member of Global Civilization. When civilizations lack core states the problems of creating order within civilizations or negotiating order between civilizations become more difficult. Where core states exist, they are the central elements of the new international order based on civilizations.

Western civilization emerged about A.D. 700 or 800. It has three major components: Europe, North America, and Latin America. Non-Western societies, such as those in East Asia, are expanding their economic wealth, political strength, military power, claiming their own cultural values and letting go those constrained on them by the West. Cultural conflicts are more frequent and dangerous today than ever before. Nations with cultural similarities cooperate economically and politically. On the other hand, international organizations based on states with cultural commonality, such as the European Union, are far more successful than those that attempt to overshadow cultures. The reviving of religion worldwide is energizing these cultural differences. For instance, East Asian economic success has its primary source in East Asian culture. Power has shifted from the predominant West to non-Western civilizations, and global politics has become multipolar and multicivilizational.

When defining the culture of a civilization with respect to its behavior, a socially acceptable behavior would be a behavior that is accepted as normal or appropriate within a social culture or subculture. But today in world affairs, nation-states behaviors are shaped by the pursuit of power and wealth and also by cultural preferences, commonalities, and differences. The most significant and consequential groupings of states are now the world's major civilizations where local politics is the politics of ethnicity, and global politics is the politics of civilizations. Conflicts and wars will occur between peoples in association with different cultural groups.

Global Civilization consisting of a more meaningful world union in the form of nine or more Global Governments.

It is impossible within the scope of this paper to describe, compare, and evaluate all past and present civilizations, and conclude that "A successful Global Civilization for all Life" would have the following distinguishing characteristics of Global Civilization. Nevertheless, let us see what can be found within the context of today civilizations, what are possible surviving solutions for Life on Earth, and even attempt to promote a system of global governance consisting of a more meaningful world union in the form of nine or more Global Governments.

civilization is generally defined as an advanced state of human society with important characteristics. Historians, anthropologists, and other scholars have researched several core characteristics of civilization. Some of the most important characteristics include:

Characteristics of Global Civilization.

1. Urban settlements.
2. Social culture and normes.
3. Spoken language.
4. Agricultural manipulation and storage.
5. Irrigation.
6. Business and trade practices.
7. Standards of measurements.
8. Craftsmanship technology.
9. Full-time specialists not involved in agricultural activities.
10. Concentration of surplus production.
11. Class structure.
12. State-level organization (government).
13. Monumental public buildings.
14. Extensive trading networks.
15. Standardized monumental artwork.
16. Writing language and writing type.
17. Development of exact sciences and accomplishments.
18. Nationality.
19. Religion and sect.
20. Ethnicity.
21. Moral code and ethics.
22. Art work and accomplishment.
23. Artistic traditions.
24. Technologies and engineering accomplishments.

These terms contribute to identify Global Civilization. 

The Federation of Global Governments would be the place of meeting between those Global Governments. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade, but also with the environment, health, agriculture, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects of society. The very first step of the Federation, and maybe the only one for several decades ahead of us, would be the approval of essential services amongst the participating member nations. We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region, and to all life on Earth. The power of the Federation was de-centralized to give each Global Government a better chance to find the right solutions to global issues in its specific area. A Global Government can act faster and be more effective and efficient in the context of the Global Civilization, this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities within each nation-state. Global Civilization becomes thus more fluid and dynamic. A global symbiotical relationship is created between nation-states and the Federation for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development. This is the basic concept that is allowing us to group willing member nation-states from different parts of the world. A typical example is the Global Government of North America (GGNA). So the scope of this paper will include Western civilizations as opposed to Non-Western civilizations, and how can a Global Civilization may be allowed to flourish in North America and be successful now and in future generations.

Global Civilization has no intention of changing the status and privileges of state governments. In fact, state governments become primary members of Global Civilization. Global Civilization can only be effective within the framework of Global Community. There is no such thing as global governance through the work of a few international organizations such as the WTO, the EU, or the United Nations dictating to the rest of the world. These organizations are heading in the wrong direction and are causing conflicts between nations, doing away with democracy, increasing the gap between rich and poor, and creating a culture of violence worldwide, terrorism being a small example of what they can do. That is global leadership gone bad, based on greed, and is immoral.

However, the deployment of U.N. peace-keeping forces is important in conflict resolution and peace building. Obviously, the U.N. peacekeeping operations in preventing and stopping violence are not as effective as can be. Are there alternatives to the ways that U.N. and regional organizations currently carry out peacekeeping operations? Yes, the alternative is the formation of nine (9) or more Global Governments. How effective are peacekeeping operations in addressing the root causes of conflicts? Yes, Global Civilization is here to stay and manage.

What is really happening is that there is no permanent U.N. trained and motivated troops. There are only national units loaned by some national governments but paid for by all U.N. Member States. Each government trains its army in its own spirit and values, though there is still an original English ethos as many U.N. troops come from India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Nigeria. Although China is starting to provide troops with a non-English tradition. Moreover, there is no such thing as consistency and predictability in U.N. actions o preserve order. The world is too complex, and the UN Security Council resolutions are voted on the basis of national interest and political power considerations. U.N. “blue helmet” operations have grown both in numbers and complexity.  Even with the best planning, the situation in which one deploys troops will always be fluid, and the assumption on which the planning was based may change.

U.N. Forces are one important element in a peacemakers management organization, but there needs to be a wide range of peace building techniques available. There must be concerted efforts by both diplomatic representatives and non-governmental organizations to resolve the conflicts where U.N. troops serve. Global Protection Agency (GPA) officers, civilian political officers, human rights monitors, refugee and humanitarian aid workers and specialists in anthropology all play important roles along with the military. More often than ever, non-military personnel are difficult to recruit. Futhermore, it is difficult to control the impact of humanitarian aid and action and unintended consequences. Again, the need to create Global Governments is more urgent now than ever.

Global Civilization has put forward a different kind of global leadership, governance and management. As Global Civilization begins to take on a much deeper kind of global leadership, one that earns more respect than envy and more gratitude than hatred, one that can catapult the whole planet forward into a future where war is no longer thinkable between nation-states and a legitimate and beneficial Earth governance is able to cope with global problems.

Global Civilization does not imply a lost of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. A nation government exists within the framework of an effective Global Civilization protecting common global values and humanity heritage. Global Civilization gives a new meaning to the notions of territoriality, and non-intervention in a state way of life, and it is about protecting the cultural heritage of a state. Diversity of cultural and ethnic groups is an important aspect of Earth governance. Global Civilization is a balance between the rights of states with rights of people, and the interests of nations with the interests of Global Civilization, the human family, the global civil society. Earth governance is also about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of Global Civilization rather than the traditional context of a world of separate states.

Effective Global Civilization requires a greater understanding of what it means to live in a more crowded, interdependent humanity with finite resources and more pollution threatening the global life-support systems. Global Civilization has no other choice but to work together at all levels. The collective power is needed to create a better world. Let us all work together to build a greater and most trusty Global Civilization. Earth needs urgently a world system of governance. The United Nations failed to satisfy the needs of the people of the 21st Century. It has never improved upon the old 20th Century ways and thinking. Its voting system no longer satisfy the 7 billion people on Earth. The challenges are different and require a world organization up for dealing with the needs of all Peoples.

Distinguishing characteristics of Western civilization.


a) Western Christianity, namely Catholicism and Protestantism, is the most important characteristic of Western civilization. There exists a well-developed sense of community among Western Christian peoples.

b) Language is second only to religion as a factor distinguishing people of one culture from those of another.The West differs from most other civilizations in its multiplicity of languages such as Japanese, Hindi, Manderin, Russian, and Arabic. The West inherited Latin from its past.

c) God and Caesar, church and state, spiritual authority and temporal authority, have been a prevailing dualism in Western culture. The separation between church and state that typify Western civilization have existed in no other civilization. This division of authority contributed immeasurably to the development of freedom in the West.

d) The concept of the centrality of law to civilized existence was inherited from the Romans. The tradition of the rule of law laid the basis for constitutionalism and the protection of human rights, including property rights, against the exercise of arbitrary power. In most other civilizations law was a much less important factor in shaping thought and behavior.

e) Historically Western society has been highly pluralistic and that was a distinguishing characteristic, the rise of diverse autonomous groups not based on blood relationship or marriage. These groups included monasteries, monastic orders, guilds, and a variety of other associations and societies. Most Western European societies included a strong and autonomous aristocracy, a peasantry, and a class of merchants and traders.

f) Social pluralism gave rise to estates, parliaments, and other institutions to represent the interests of the aristocracy, clergy, merchants, and other groups. These bodies provided forms of representation which in the course of modernization evolved into the institutions of modern democracy. They provided a vehicle for expanded political participation. Then movements for self-government developed in cities and spread forcing bishops, local barons, and other nobles to share power with the people. Representation at the national level was thus supplemented by a measure of autonomy at the local level.
g) Over time emerged a sense of individualism and a tradition of individual rights and liberties unique among civilized societies, even claims for equal rights for all individuals. Again and again both Westerners and non-Westerners point to individualism as the central distinguishing mark of the West.

Building Global Civilization requires understanding of global problems this generation is facing. There are several major problems: conflicts and wars, no tolerance and compassion for one another, world overpopulation, human activities accelerating dangerously the amount of greenhouse gases in the air, as population increases the respect and value of a human life is in decline, insufficient protection and prevention for global health, scarcity of resources and drinking water, poverty, Fauna and Flora species disappearing at a fast rate, global warming and global climate change, global pollution reaching unhealthy peaks in the air, water and soils, deforestation, permanent lost of the Earth's genetic heritage, and the destruction of the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet. We need to build global communities for all life on the planet. We need to build global communities that will manage themselves with the understanding of the above problems. We need Global Civilization for all Peoples on the planet.

These concepts, practices, and institutions have been more prevalent in the West than in other civilizations. They are in large part the factors which enabled the West to take the lead in modernizing itself and the world. The expansion of the West has promoted both the modernization and the Westernization of non-Western societies. Today, the total rejection of modernization as well as Westernization is hardly possible in a world becoming overwhelmingly modern and highly interconnected. Only the very most extreme fundamentalists reject modernization as well as Westernization. The religious values, moral assumptions, and social structures of the non-Western societies are at best alien, and sometime hostile, to the values and practices of individualism. Even extreme proponents of anti-Westernism and the revitalization of indigenous cultures do not hesitate to use modern techniques of e-mail, computers, compact discs, USB devices, the Internet, and television to promote their cause. So modernization does not necessarily mean Westernization. Non-Western societies can modernize and have modernized without abandoning their own cultures and adopting wholesale Western values, institutions, and practices. Whatever obstacles non-Western cultures pose to modernization pale before those they pose to Westernization. In short, modernization means a great victory and achievement of Global Civilization on Earth. Modernization strengthens those cultures and reduces the relative power of the West. In fundamental ways, the world is becoming more modern and less Western.

Modernizing secularists applauded and cheered the extent to which science, ralionalism, and pragmatism were eliminating the supertitions, myths, irrationalities, and rituals that formed the core of existing religions. The emerging society would be tolerant, rational, pragmatic, progressive, humanistic, and secular. The second half of the twentieth century proved that economic and social modernization became global in scope, and at the same time a global revival of religion occurred which has spread out every continent, every civilization, and virtually every country. A new religious approach took shape aimed no longer at adapting to secular values but at recovering a sacred foundation for the organization of society. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, all experienced new surges in their respective religion. The reason of the global religious resurgence was caused by the processes of social, economic, and cultural modernization that swept across the world in the second half of the twentieth century. People moved from the countryside into the city, became separated from their roots, and took new jobs or no job. They interact with large numbers of strangers and were exposed to new sets of relationships. They needed new sources of identity, new forms of stable community, and new sets of moral precepts to provide them with a sense of meaning and purpose. Religion, both mainstream and fundamentalist, met those needs.

Comprehensively, the religious resurgence throughout the world is a reaction against secularism, moral relativism, and self-indulgence, and a reaffirmation of the values of order, discipline, work, mutual help, and human solidarity. Religious groups meet social needs left neglected by states bureaucracies. These include the provision of medical, and hospital services, kindergardens, and schools, care for the elderly, prompt relief after natural and other catastrophes, and welfare and social support during periods of economic deprivation. The movements for religious revival are antisecular and antiglobal, but they accept modernization.

Because of modernization, global politics today is being reconfigured along cultural lines and civilizations. And of course, Global Civilization is finally giving its historical place as the global solution to saving humanity from complete extinction. Peoples and countries with similar cultures are coming together. Alignments defined by ideology and superpower relations are giving way to alignments defined by culture and civilization. A civilization may also include people who share in and identify with its culture, but who live in states dominated by members of another civilization. Civilizations usually have one or more places viewed by their members as the principal source or sources of the civilization's culture. These sources are often located within the core state or states of the civilization, that is, its most powerful and culturally central state or states. For instance, Japanese civilization is virtually identical with the single Japanese core state. Sinic, Orthodox, and Hindu civilizations each have one overwhelmingly dominant core state, other member states, and people affiliated with their civilization in states dominated by people of a different civilization (overseas Chinese, near abroad Russians, Sri Lankan Tamils).

The emerging world consists of countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East that have seen steady economic growth, but have the potential of holistic transformation through innovating, cultivating and creating new stewardship businesses. In this emerging world, global power is obsolete, and Global Civilization is a distant dream. The components of order in today's more complex and heterogenous world are found within and between civilizations. The world will be ordered on the basis of civilizations or not at all. In this world the core states of civilizations are sources of order within civilizations and, through negotiations with other core states, between civilizations.

In a new way, ever since the beginning of the post-Cold War, global politics has become multipolar and multicivilizational. For hundreds of years, the nation-states of the West, namely Spain, France, Great Britain, Austria, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, formed a multipolar world within Western civilization. Afresh, Americans have defined themselves, their society, in opposition to Europe. America is the land of freedom, equality, opportunity, the future, and is a distinct civilization. Those nation-states of the West interacted, competed, and fought wars with each other. Concurrently, Western nations also expanded, conquered, colonized and influenced every other civilization worldwide. Democratic societies led by the United States were engaged in a pervasive ideological, economic, political, and, sometimes, military invasion of the communist societies of the Soviet Union and in the Third World. Only Russian, Japanese, and Ethiopian civilizations, all governed by highly centralized imperial authorities, were able to resist the onslaught of the West and maintain meaningful independent existence. During those years, not so much ideologies, but economics and politics were differentiating peoples of different civilizations. Nevertheless, their cultures, their ways of life, ways doing things have been their most distinguishing characteristics. Those characteristics have been defined by religion, language, ancestry, history, communities, ethnic groups, customs, nations, and also by major levels of classification being civilizations. In modern era, Western civilization, the West, is referred to the European-American civilization.

Inevitability, the fates of the United States and of the West depend upon Americans asserting strongly once more their commitment to Western civilization. At home, this means rejecting the divisive urgent need of multiculturalism. Internationally it means letting go the elusive and illusory calls to identify the United States with Asia. Whatever economic connections may exist between them, the fundamental cultural gap between Asian and American societies precludes their joining together in a common home. Americans are culturally part of the Western family; multiculturalists may damage and even destroy that relationship but they cannot replace it. When Americans look for their cultural roots, they find them in Europe. As Western countries increasingly interact with increasingly powerful non-Western societies they become more and more aware of their common Western cultural core that binds them together. If North America and Europe renew their moral life, build on their cultural commonality, and develop close forms of economic and political integration to supplement their security collaboration in NATO, they could generate a third Euroamerican phase of Western economic affluence and political influence.

A referendum about the UK leaving the EU, an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries, a vote, called the Brexit, in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part, was held on Thursday 23 June, 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting. Over time, the EU has grown to become a "single market" allowing goods and people to move around, basically as if the member states were one country. It has its own currency, the euro, which is used by 19 of the member countries, its own parliament and it now sets rules in a wide range of areas - including on the environment, transport, consumer rights and even things such as mobile phone charges. But the withdrawal agreement reached between the EU and UK has been rejected three times by UK MPs. The EU leaders have now backed a six-month extension until 31 October 2019. However, the UK will leave before this date if the withdrawal agreement is ratified by the UK and the EU before then.

Now if North America was already united as a Global Government described here, and the UK decided to be a part of the GGNA instead of staying with the EU, then that could be another alternative for the people of the UK. Renewing their moral life, building on their cultural commonality, and developing close forms of economic and political integration to supplement their security collaboration in NATO, they could also generate a third UK-American phase of Western economic affluence and political influence.

Meaningful political integration would in some measure counter the relative decline in the West's share of the world's people, economic product, and military capabilities and revive the power of the West in the eyes of the leaders of other civilizations. Whether the West comes together politically and economically depends overwhelmingly on whether the United States reaffirms its identity as a Western nation and defines its global role as the leader of Western civilization.

Over time, the West has had a major and at times devastating impact on every other civilization. The relation between the power and culture of the West and the power and cultures of other civilizations is, as a result, the most pervasive characteristic of the world of civilizations. As the relative power of other civilization increases, the appeal of Western culture fades and non-Western peoples have increasing confidence in and commitment to their indigenous cultures. The central problem in the relations between the West and the rest of the world is, consequently, the discordance between the West's, particularly America, efforts to promote a global Western culture and its declining ability to do so. The collapse of communism exacerbated this discordance by reinforcing in the West the view that its ideology of democratic liberalism had triumphed globally and hence was globally valid. The West, especially the United States, believe that the non-Westen peoples should commit themselves to the Western values of democracy, free markets, limited government, human rights, individualism, the rule of law, and should embody these values in their institutions. What is Global Civilization to the West is imperialism to the rest of the world. The West will continue to attempt to sustain its preeminent position and defend its interests by defining interests of the Global Community. The West is, for instance, attempting to integrate the economies of non-Western societies into a global economic system which it dominates. Through the World Bank and the IMF, and other international economic institutions, the West promotes its economic interests and imposes on other nations the economic policies it thinks appropriate. Having achieved political independence, non-Western societies wish to free themselves from Western economic, military, and cultural domination. East Asian societies are well on their way to equaling the West economically. Asian and Islamic countries are looking for shortcuts to balance the West militarily. The global aspirations of Western civilization, the declining relative power of the West, and the increasing cultural assertiveness of other civilizations ensure generally difficult relations between the West and the rest of the world.

Global Civilization global commons.

If it became prominent at home, the impact of multiculturalism in the United States would threaten the United States and the West. A Global Civilization abroad would threaten the West and the world. A multicultural America is impossible because a non-Western America is not American. A multicultural world is unavoidable because global empire is impossible. The preservation of the United States and the West requires the renewal of Western identity. The security of the world requires acceptance of global multiculturality. Cultures prescribe insitutions and behavior patterns to guide humans in the paths which are right in a particular society. Instead of promoting the supposedly global features of one global civilization, the requisites for cultural coexistence demand a search for what is common to most civilizations. In a multicivilizational world, the constructive course is to renounce global culture, accept diversity, and seek commonalities. There are core values which different ethnic and religious societies have in common.

Global Civilization believes all citizens have the right to share the wealth in the world. The free trade agreement between nations must protect and improve social and environmental rights, not just the economy. Everyone on Earth has the right to food and water, to safe and clean habitat, to security of ecological space. These rights are natural rights, they are birthrights given by the fact of existence on Earth and are best protected through community rights and global commons.

Common values:
Nation before (ethnic) community and placing society above self;
Upholding the family as the basic building block of society;
Regard and community support for the individual;
Resolving major issues through consensus instead of contention; and

Stressing racial and religious tolerance and harmony.

Certainly a statement of Western and particularly American values would give far more weight to the rights of the individual as against those of the community, to freedom of expression and truth emerging out of the contest of ideas, to political participation and competition, and to the rule of law as against the rule of expert. At a basic "thin" morality level, some commonalities exist between Asia and the West. In addition, whatever the degree to which humankind is divided, the world's major religions, Western Christianity, Orthodoxy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, also share key values in common. A Global Civilization can emerge gradually through the exploration and expansion of these commonalities. Peace in a multicivilizational world is the finding of commonalities: peoples in all civilizations should search for and attempt to expand the values, institutions, and practices they have in common with peoples of other civilizations. This effort would contribute to strengthening Global Civilization which is a complex mix of higher levels of morality, religion, learning, art, philosophy, technology, material wellbeing, and other things.

In our contemporary era, is a higher level of modernity a prerequisite to a higher level of Global Civilization? Is there a general, secular trend, transcending individual civilizations, toward higher levels of civilization? Conceivably modernization and human moral development produced by greater education, awareness, and understanding of human society and its natural environment produce sustained movement toward higher and higher levels of a Global Civilization. Alernatively, levels of a Global Civilization may simply reflect phases in the evolution of civilizations. When civilizations first emerge, their people are usually vigorous, dynamic, brutal, mobile, and expansionist. They are relatively un-civilized. As the civilization evolves it becomes more settled and develops the techniques and skills that make it more civilized. As the competition among its constituent elements tapers off and a global state emerges, the civilization reaches its highest level of civilization, the Global Civilization, with a flowering of morality, art, literature, philosophy, technology, and martial, economic, and political competence.

Modernization has generally enhanced the material level of Global Civilization throughout the world. But has it also enhanced the moral and cultural dimensions of Global Civilization? Law and order is the first prerequisite of Global Civilization and in much of the world. The futures of both peace and Global Civilization depend upon understanding and cooperation among the political, spiritual, and intellectual leaders of the world's major civilizations. A world order based on civilizations is the surest safeguard against world war. Peoples from different civilizations have to learn to live side by side in peaceful interchange, learning from each other, studying each other's history and ideals and art and culture, mutually enriching each others'lives.

Over ancient time to this day, morality in society made its way into our ways of doing business. So the set of behaviors that constitute Global Community ethic for a business evolved largely because they provided possible survival benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, Peoples evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans developed truly moral, altruistic instincts. When looking across cultures of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures, the major ones include wisdom, knowledge, courage, justice, love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence. These virtues were not always incorporated into the ways of doing business because the 1% business world became corrupted, greedy, no longer in line with humanity's survival on the planet, and more interested in keeping most of the wealth, resources and power for themselves keeping the remaining 99% of the world population in poverty. But today we are going to incorporate these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics. Moral values can be identified across cultures, even if we do not accept a global understanding of principles: values including integrity, trustworthiness, benevolence, justice, and fairness. These values can be resources for finding common ground between believers and nonbelievers, and for conflicts needing of ethics to resolve their problems.

The oldest known evidence of social units that have ever existed show that humans were adapting and evolving with time through generations. Human history stretches through generations, and is the history of civilizations. Civilization and culture both refer to the overall way of life of a people, and involve the values, beliefs, norms, institutions, social structures, and modes of thinking to which successive generations in a given society. As such, a civilization is the most extensive cultural entity and, therefore, villages, regions, ethnic groups, nationalities, religious groups, all have distinct cultures. A civilization being the highest cultural grouping of people, and it is defined by language, history, religion, customs, and institutions. The composition and shapes of civilizations change over time. The cultures of peoples interact and overlap. Empires rise and fall; governments come and go; but civilizations remain and survive political, social, economic, even difficult ideological changes. Civilizations being cultural and not political entities, they do not maintain order, establish justice, collect taxes, fight wars, negotiate treaties, or any other things which governments do. A civilization may contain one or many political organizations such as city states, empires, federations, confederations, nation-states, and multinational states.

Global Civilization Ethics.

(see enlargement Global Civilization Ethics.)

Ethics and morality 
Global Community is proposing ethics to live by for life's survival on our planet. Humanity urgently wants social and ecological reforms, as well as a spiritual renewal to add trust, meaning, standards and practical guidelines to this new quest for survival. Global citizens want a spiritual home to do good and avoid evil in all its forms. Global ethics are intended to clarify what this means. 

Global Community ethics have established that the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people is a measure of right and wrong. What matters is the combined positive effect of everyone and not only of any one person (or the wealthy 1% in our society). Global Community ethics are meant to save humanity, all lifeforms on Earth, from extinction, and includes a process based on the Scale of Global Rights which describes social values in order of importance to help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. Global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. 

Not sure ethics are the answer to all humanity's problems! But ehtics will certainly show the way to the survival of life in all its forms on our planet.  

The ethics proposed here provide no direct solution for all the extensive problems of humanity. The ethics are giving humanity the moral foundation for a better individual and community. Global Community offers a new global order with a vision of Hope and Love away from despair and social chaos. Global Community ethics offer fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards. We need not be religious to make this vision ours. This vision is for all human beings regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color or religion. Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Scale of Global Rights. To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance. The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. So now Global Community ethics includes a process based on the Scale of Global Rights. Global Community ethical grounds are practical, real, and applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious. 

Global Community ethics offer the possibility of a better individual and community, a global order with fairness and Justice, and a world with Hope and Love. A world where everything make sense in all areas of life, for families and communities, for races, nations and all religions. 

In the developed countries, a distinction must be made between necessary and limitless consumption, between socially beneficial and non-beneficial uses of property, between justified and unjustified uses of natural resources, and between a profit-only and a socially beneficial and ecologically oriented market economy. 

Economic and political power must be used as a service to humanity instead of misusing it in ruthless battles for domination. Global Community faith can help to develop a spirit of compassion with those who suffer, with special care for the children, the aged, the poor, the disabled, and the refugees. 

In society, the proper course of action is one that maximizes a positive effect, such as "happiness", "welfare", "humanity survival", or the ability to live according to personal preferences. Today, it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong. What matters is the combined positive effect of everyone and not only of any one person. Developing ethics that would save humanity from extinction will encounter numerous criticisms from individuals whose basic human rights were violated. But that is to be expected! And there is no other way! Global Community has researched and developed the Scale of Global Rights to continue this process.. On the Scale of Global Rights, primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems and ecological rights are on top of the Scale. They are the most important aspects on the Scale. 

Scale of Global Rights.
(see enlargement Modern day nations.)

Now Global Community claims that all lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of other lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western world (and in contrast with certain Eastern traditions) other lifeforms have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created other lifeforms for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil. 

In modern days, morality is fundamentally a matter of promoting happiness (pleasure) and preventing suffering (pain). This implies that moral concern is not limited to creatures with reason but has application to all lifeforms. The day may come when the rest of the other lifeform creation may acquire the rights which never should have been withholden from them by the hand of tyranny or religion. For example, the blackness of the skin is no reason why a human being should be abandoned without redress to the caprice of a tormentor. It may one day come to be recognized that the number of the legs, the villosity of the skin, or the termination of the os sacrum are reasons equally insufficient for abandoning a sensitive being to the same fate. The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they ‘’suffer’’? And even further, are they lifeforms? Global Community ethics include all lifeforms. 

It is Global Community challenge to develop ethics, moral directives, that can be acceptable to all Peoples for the survival of all life on our planet, and that will require sacrifices from us all. Let us remember over and over again that our primary goal and the most important principle on the Scale of Global Rights is the survival of all Life on Earth. The Scale shows social values in order of importance for humanity's survival, all Life's survival, while the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is about rights, all of them being just as important as an other. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights needs to be replaced now by the Scale of Global Rights.

Global Civilization implies the cultural coming together of humanity and the acceptance of common values, beliefs, orientations, practices, and institutions by people throughout the world. Human beings in almost all societies share basic values (see section 10 in this paper). People in most societies have a strong moral sense, a morality of basic concepts of what is right and wrong. If people have shared a few fundamental values and institutions throughout history, this may explain some constants in human behavior but it cannot explain history, which consists of changes in human behavior. If a Global Civilization common to all humanity exists, what term do we then use to identify the major cultural groupings of humanity? Humanity is divided into subgroups such as tribes, nations, and broader cultural entities usually called civilizations. If the term civilization is elevated to what is common to humanity as a whole then the largest cultural groupings of people would be a single Global Civilization, that is a variety of cultures, of peoples, of religious worlds, of historical traditions, and historically formed attitudes. Confusion occurs by restricting 'civilization' to the global level and designing as 'cultures' or 'subcivilizations' those largest cultural entities which have historically always been called civilizations.

We could define a 'Global Civilization' to refer to what civilized societies have in common, such as cities and literacy, which distinguish them from primitive societies and barbarians. Civilization in this sense has been gradually expanding throughout human history, and so the spread of a Global Civilization has been quite compatible with the existence of many civilizations in the world. A Global Civilization may refer to the assumptions, values, and doctrines currently held by many people in Western civilization and by people in other civilizations.

Over the past decades, many have said that the spread of Western consumption patterns and popular culture around the world is creating Global Civilization. Westerners should not assume that non-Westerns will become 'Westernized' by acquiring Western goods. Equally true, little or no evidence exists to support the assumption that the appearance of pervasive global communications (movies, television, video industries, etc many other media) is producing significant convergence in attitudes and beliefs. "Entertainment' does not equate to cultual conversion. People interpret communications in terms of their own preexisting values and perspectives. Global communications are one of the most important contemporary manisfestations of Western power. The extent to which global communications are dominated by the West is a major source of resentment and hostility of non-Western peoples against the West.

The most important parts of any culture or civilization are language and religion. Then a Global Civilization emerging would require a global language and a global religion. But this is not happening. Diplomats, businessmen, scientists, tourists, and the services catering to them, airline pilots and air traffic controllers, need some means of efficient communication with each other, and now do it largely in English. English is the world's way of communicating interculturally. The use of English is the intercultural communication, a tool for communication not a source of identity and community. Precisely because people want to preserve their own culture they use English to communicate with peoples of other cultures. The most widely spoken languages are English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian. As the power of the West gradually declines relative to that of other civilizations, the use of English and other Western languages in other societies and for communications between societies will also slowly erode. For instance, China has displaced the West as the dominant civilization in the world, English will give way to Manderin as the world's language. Social and political pressures increasingly lead to the more general use of indigenous languages, Arabic displacing French in North Africa, Urdu, the official language of Pakistan, and is also widely used in India and elsewhere, is supplanting English as the language of government and education in Pakistan, and indegenous language media replacing English media in India.

Over time, the late twentieth century has seen a global renewal of religions around the world. That renewal has involved the reinforcement of religious consciousness and the rise of fundamentalist movements. Data show increases in the proportions of the world population adhering to the two major religions, Islam and Christianity. In the long run Mohammed wins out. Christianity spreads primarily by conversion. Islam by conversion and reproduction. As a result of their extremely high rates of population growth, the proportion of Muslims in the world will continue to increase dramatically, amounting to 30% of the world's population by 2025.

The increased interaction among peoples which includes trade, investment, tourism, media, electronic communication, is generating a common world culture. Improvements in transportation and communications technology have indeed made it easier and cheaper to move money, goods, people, knowledge, ideas, and images around the world. By increasing trade globally is unlikely to ease international tensions or promote greater international stability. Economic interdependence fosters peace only when states expect that high trade levels will continue into the foreseeable future, otherwise war is likely to result. People define their identity by what they are not. As increased communications, trade, and travel multiply the interactions among civilizations, people increasingly accord greater relevance to their civilizational identity. The global religious revival, the return of the sacred, is a response to people's perception of the world as a single place, Earth.

Today the evidence-based argument for the appearance of a Global Civilization is really the result of the broad processes of modernization that have been going on since the eighteenth century. Modernization involves industrialization, urbanization, increasing levels of literacy, education, wealth, social mobilization, and more complex and diversified occupational structures. It is a product of the tremendous expansion of scientific and engineering knowledge beginning in the eighteenth century that made it possible for humans to control and shape their environment in totally unprecedented ways. Modernization is a revolutionary process comparable only to the shift from primitive to civilized societies that is, the appearance of Global Civilization. The attitudes, values, knowledge, and culture of people in a modern society differ greatly from those in a traditional society. As the first civilization to modernize, the West leads in the acquisition of the culture of modernity. As other societies acquire similar patterns of education, work, wealth, and class structure, the argument runs, this modern Western culture will become the new culture for Global Civilization. Modern societies could resemble each other more than do traditional societies because the increased interaction among modern societies may not generate a common culture but it does facilitate the transfer of techniques, inventions, and practices from one society to another with a speed and to a degree that were impossible in the traditional world. A traditional society was based on agriculture; modern society is based on industry, which may evolve from the handicrafts to classic heavy industry to knowledge-based industry. Patterns of agriculture and the social structure which goes with them are much more dependent on the natural environment than are patterns of industry. They vary with soil and climate and thus may give rise to different forms of land ownership, social sturcture, and government. Agriculture depends on the construction and operation of massive irrigation systems and so does foster the appearance of centralized and bureaucratic authorities. Rich soil and good climate are likely to encourage development of large-scale plantation agriculture and a consequent social structure involving a small class of wealthy landowners and a large class of peasants, slaves, or serfs who work the plantations. Conditions inhospitable to large-scale agriculture may encourage the appearance of a society of independent farmers. In agricultural societies, in short, social structure is shaped by geography.

By definition, civilization, like that of many historical terms, varies from source to source and means urban culture; in other words, a culture with at least one city is considered a civilization. The term city means a settlement with a population of at least ten thousand. The term culture is defined as the distinctive features of a group which has language, artistic traditions, and religious beliefs. Language is often the primary identifying feature of a culture.

Within a given territory, a civilization can exert significant cultural influence upon the included nations. The meaning of the term civilization has changed several times during its history, and even today it is used in several ways. It is commonly used to describe human societies showing a high level of cultural and technological development, as opposed to what many consider to be less advanced societies. This definition, however, is unclear, subjective, and it carries with it assumptions no longer accepted by modern scholarship on how human societies have changed during their long past. Over time, civilizations developed as an end product of social or political evolution. Many of the social forces that in the past were believed to inevitably lead to the development of cities and nations do not always lead to that result. The diversity of human experience seems too complex and vast for our concepts to fit reality perfectly. Each human society is shaped by its own unique set of circumstances.

Urban centers include cities and villages throughout the territory occupied by a specific civilization. Agricultural management and storage is important because it allows people to ensure their future livelihood, rather than just scrounge for food on a day-by-day basis. Irrigation management allows for the growth of crops, and in some cases, clean drinking water and even plumbing. Keeping global food production in alignment of human population growth involves balancing the costs of inadequate diets against those associated with exceeding the limits of sustainable agriculture. Those limits are set by: losses of farmland to other uses; diminishing opportunities for irrigation; erosion and degradation of soils; biological limits to yield increases; diminishing returns from fertilizer use; chemical pest-control problems; declining genetic diversity of crops and their wild relatives; depressed yields from increased ultraviolet-B radiation and pollutants; possible rapid climate change and sea-level rise; and a general deterioration of the free services supplied to agriculture by natural ecosystems. Dramatic declines in human fertility, ecologically sustainable agriculture, preservation of biodiversity, and revised socioeconomic policies are essential to preventing further reductions of Earth's long-term carrying capacity.

The need for defense soon led to the growth of governments. Governments organize and regulate human activity. They also provide for smooth interaction between individuals and groups. In the first civilizations, governments usually were led by monarchs, kings or queens, who rule a kingdom, or who organized armies to protect their populations and made laws to regulate their citizens lives. Today, Global Community is proposing a solution to saving humanity from extinction: the formation of nine or more Global Governments.

Nine (9) or more Global Governments.


Nine (9) or more Global Governments.
(see enlargement Nine (9) or more Global Governments.)

We, citizens of the Global Community, hereby resolve to establish a federation of all nations, and to govern in accordance with Global Parliament Constitution. Reflecting the will of the Global Community citizens and all Nations to build a common future, this Constitution establishes Global Parliament, on which Member Nations confer competences to attain objectives they have in common. Global Parliament shall coordinate the policies by which Member Nations aim to achieve these objectives.

Global Community offers a more meaningful union in the form of nine (9) or more Global Governments. For instance the South American Community of Nations can be a Global Government by simply accepting Global Parliament's Constitution as a way of dealing between member nations. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade, but also with the environment, health, agriculture, education, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects. 

The Federation of Global Governments is the place of meeting between Global Governments. 

The very first step of Global Parliament, and maybe the only one for several decades ahead of us, would be the approval of essential services amongst the participating member nations. Global Community has researched and developed such services and listed them here. All of them are already in operation on a small scale. We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region. And we want a Global Government to be made of wealthy nations as well as nations in need of help. Be compassionate. Each Global Government is obliged to offer Essential Services to the people of its member nations. 

The demand of the upper class for luxury, fancy and expensive items, such as jewelry and pottery, encouraged artisans and crafts people to create new products. As urban populations exported finished goods to neighboring populations in exchange for raw materials, organized trade began to grow. Because trade brought new civilizations into contact with one another, it often led to the transfer of new technology, such as metals for tools and new farming techniques, from one region to another.

A written language unites a people, and allows them to communicate ideas with one another. Writing was an important feature in the life of these new civilizations. Above all, rulers, religious leaders, merchants, businessmen and businesswomen, and artisans used writing to keep accurate records. Of course, not all civilizations depended on writing to keep records. The Inca in Peru, for example, relied on well-trained memory experts to keep track of their important matters. Eventually, the earliest civilizations used writing for creative expression as well as for record keeping. This produced the world's first works of literature.

In order to understand the rise of a civilizational state, it is useful to understand the concept of a nation-state. A nation-state generally refers to a state made up of people who share some common traits such as language, religion and way of life. Europe is the birthplace of nation-states, and nationalism pushed much of Europe's nationhood and modernization, and also proved to be a major cause of conflicts and wars in Europe and beyond. During the 18th and 19th centuries, nation-states emerged one after another in Europe, the earliest nation-state being France. During those years, China was still a traditional agricultural society with 95% of its population living off the land. By the mid-19th century, China's traditional state was no longer able to cope with the challenges posed by Western nation-states or modern states. China's nation-state was still in an earlier stage of formation, but China as a civilization-state had a history of several thousands of years, and Chinese people lived on its soil and evolved its own unique civilization. The concept of a "civilization-state" was applied to mean that China was still faced with many difficulties when it was trying to make the transition from a civilization-state to a nation-state, and the Western-states blamed China's thousands of years of civilization for being a burden on its effort to build a modern state. In other words, being a civilization-state, China found it hard to evolve modern laws, economics, defense, education and political governance. Today's China has established an unprecendented modern state system which includes a unified government, market, economy, education, law, defense, finance and taxation. Yet the Chinese people still retains their many traditions associated with a civilization-state, and these traditions are playing a vital role today in China's success. There are many civilizations, Western civilization being one of them, but China is the only civilization-state, which is defined by its extraordinarily long history and also its huge geographic scale and social diversity. For China, unity is its first priority, and plurality the condition of its existence, and that is why China could offer Hong Kong "one country two systems", a model alien to a nation-state. The Chinese state enjoys a very different kind of relationship with society compared with the Western state. It enjoys much greater natural authority, legitimacy and respect, even though not a single vote is cast for the government. The reason is that the state is seen by the Chinese people as the guardian, custodian and embodiment of their civilization. The duty of the state is to protect its unity. The legitimacy of the state therefore lies deep in Chinese history. This is utterly different from how the state is seen by Western societies.

In China's long history, all governments are expected to show special concern for improving people's livelihood, tackel natural and man-made disasters, and cope with all the challenges posed by China's huge population and vast territory. It is unimaginable that most Chinese would ever accept the so-called multi-party democratic system with a change of central government every four years. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not a party as the concept "party" is understood in the West. In essence, the CPC continues the long tradition of a unified Confucian ruling entity, which represents the interest of the whole society, rather than a Western-style political party which openly represents group interests. Some in the West only acknowledge the regime legitimacy prior to mid-1960s, as most black people were not able to exercise their right to vote until the Civil Rights movement. In China, political ideas and practices over the past millennia are the most important source of the Chinese perception of legitimacy. One could well apply the Chinese concept of "selection of talents based on meritocracy" to the Western society and question the Western concept of legitimacy. Without this legitimacy based on meritocracy, how could a regime be qualified to govern? How could a regime be accountable to its people and to the world? This is illustrated by the example of the presidency of George W. Bush, and his eight years of incompetence caused huge damage to the interests of the American and other peoples as shown in the financial crisis and the Iraq War.

As a modern state, China accepts the concept of the sovereign equality of states and prevailing conceptions of human rights. China is unique due to the many traditions and features originating from its civilization. This is also the key conceptual difference between a civilizational state and a civilization-state. The civilizational state represents an amalgamation of an old civilization and a modern nation-state. On the other hand, a civilization-state reflects the tension between the two. As a civilizational state, China is both old and young, both traditional and modern, both Chinese and global. At least eight features can be distilled from the civilizational state of China: 1) a very large population, 2) a vast territoty, 3) very long traditions, 4) a unique language, 5) richest cultural heritages, 6) a political system with Chinese characteristics, 7) a distinctive society, 8) a unique way of running an economy.

'Sinic' includes the culture of China and Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and outside of China as well as the related cultures of Vietnam and Korea. Confucianism is a major part of Chinese civilization. A vision of a new world has begun centuries ago, and is based largely on civilizational values. The world order is now one of diverse civilizations many of which have contributed to human progress toward a harmonious world. China is the first authentic world power with a genuine, real global vision because the Chinese government approach to global politics has been civilizational, not imperialist. What made the Chinese different from the Europeans was that the Chinese people command the interest of others by their power to give. China claims to be a uniquely ethical power because the Chinese people have no notion of the 'other' outside the system. So China has never wished to colonize anyone and has never had a civilizing mission. The leadership of China today is more about a mutual cooperation, a true harmony of interests between civilizations, one that is more ecologically friendly in reflecting the balance of Nature. But that is unlikely to appeal to the Democrat or Republican people of the United States. What appears to be emerging is a world of two different orders, a US-centric and a Sino-centric system. Peoples in the Western political and economic systems say that China will eventually fail if it is unwilling to follow the Western model. China model of development and overall success is unmatched by any developing economies that have copied the Western model.

Within China development model, the four features of the civilizational state (population, territory, tradition and culture) all constitute China's greatest strengths. China has the richest human resources and potentially the largest consumer market; China has an unparalleled geopolitical and geoeconomic status; China has its tradition of independent thinking, and has the richest cultural resources in the world. China is a civilizational state generating its own standards and values and making unique contributions to the world civilizations. China's rise is that of a civilizational state with a strong historical and cultural traditions. The original, continuous and endogenous nature of these traditions is indeed rare and unique in the world. It does not imitate or follow other models and has its own intrinsic logic of evolution and development. The civilizational state has a strong capability to draw on the strengths of other nations while maintaining its own identity. The Chinese people have a deep respect of Nature and have applied the secular application of ethics and political philosophy to social, economic, and political governance. Chinese culture is more inclusive than exclusive, within the broad conceptual framework of the Confucian idea of 'unity in diversity". The greatest wisdom of a civilizational state is its long tradition of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and this wisdom is first reflected in the Chinese language. Chinese characters are commonly made up of various components, and the components often give a hint of the pronunciation and the meaning of the word, and they are structured in such a way that they often follow the principle of "seeking common ground while reserving differences". The Chinese language seems to underline the fact that seeking commonality from diversity is a trait of Chinese culture. The governance of a civilizational state follows the same logic, and if one can focus on seeking the commonalities of different interest groups, one stands a better chance of solving the tensions among them, whether it is a tension between regions, between enterprises, between social groups or between rich and poor.

China unique development model has eight characteristics, namely,
1) pratice-based reasoning (a practice based on doing, practicing, and experimenting),
2) a strong state (infrastructural demands, disaster relief and border defense all contributed to the evolution of a tradition in favor of a strong state),
3) prioritizing stability,
4) primacy of people's livelihood (ensuring enough food and other daily necessities for the vast population),
5) gradual reform,
6) correct priorities and sequence,
7) a mixed economy (China's present economic system is called a socialist market economy, which is a mixed economy, an amalgamation of market forces and state power, and a fusion of the principles of market economics and humanistic economics.), and
8) opening up to the outside world.

These characteristics have been an intrinsic part of the Chinese civilizational state, especially the four factors of population, territory, tradition and culture, which have largely determined the trajectory of China's development model.

China historically conceived itself as encompassing: a "Sinic Zone" including Korea, Vietnam, the Liu Chiu Islands, and at times Japan; an "Inner Asian Zone" of non-Chinese Manchus, Mongols, Uighurs, Turks, and Tibetans; and then an "Outer Zone" of barbarians. Contemporary Sinic civilization is being structured in a similar fashion: the central core of Han China, outlying provinces that are part of China, provinces legally part of China but heavily populated by non-Chinese people from other civilizations (Tibet, Xinjiang), Chinese societies which will or are likely to become part of Beijing-centered China on defined conditions (Hong Kong, Taiwan), one predominantly Chinese state increasingly oriented toward Beijing (Singapore), highly influential Chinese populations in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, and non-Chinese societies (North and South Korea, Vietnam) which nonetheless share much of China's Confucian culture. To the Chinese government, people of Chinese descent, even if citizens of another country, are members of the Chinese community and hence in some measure subject to the authority of the Chinese government. Chinese identity can now to be defined in racial terms. Chinese are those of the same race, blood, and culture. 'Greater China' is thus not simply an abstract concept. It is a rapibly growing cultural and economic reality and has begun to become a political one. In China, trust and commitment depend on personal contacts, not contacts or laws and other legal documents. Despite the current Japanese dominance of the region, the Chinese-based economy of Asia is rapidly emerging as a new epicenter for industry, commerce, and finance.

The rise and evolution of China is not the rise and evolution of another ordinary country but the rise and evolution of one fifth of the world's population, 1.3 billion people. It is the rise and evolution of a civilizational state with a long history and a vast territory. China today has to solve on its own soil all the issues brought about by industrialization, modernization and their associated social shifts. China is carrying out large-scale industrial and social revolutions under very unfavorable conditions and resolve all its problems internally without resorting to wars and plunder other countries as have done and still doing the West. China's success and the model underpinning its success are significant and invaluable. With their diligence, sacrifice and wisdom, the Chinese people have created a miracle and pioneered their own model of development which includes education, healthcare, housing, global environment, and the quality of life in any given place in China. Thus China is a large, populous and hugely complex country, and it is not easy to understand China in average or per capita terms. This is comparable to a weather forecast for Singapore or China. If it is said that today's average temperature for Singapore is 32 C, people believe it, because Singapore is a small country with a total area 1/25 of Beijing, but if it is announced that today's average temperature is 32 C for the People's Republic of China, it is simply meaningless to most people living in China, as the country is too vast and too complex in topography and climate conditions. China's rise is the rise of a civilizational state which has amalgamated the world's longest continuous civilization with a huge modern state. If a civilizational state like China was to follow the Western model of development rather than to its own path, the country would experience chaos and break up. The nature of China as a civilizational state determines that given its cultural traditions, China is not likely to be a country bent on confrontation. Rather, it is likely to seek peaceful co-existence, mutual learning and win-win outcomes with other countries and other political systems.

China's civilizational state is a product of hundreds of states amalgamated into one over China's long and continuous history. In China 92% of the Chinese identify themselves as Han Chinese. China's rapid progress in such areas as tourism, automobile industry, the Internet, high-speed trains and urbanization has demonstrated China's capacity for learning, adaptation and innovation. Investors in China tend to share one belief: if they can achieve the No.1 status in China, they may well be No.1 in the world. China now is engaged in the world's largest urbanization programs, and the world's best architectural firms are competing with each other for the chinese market. This trend is likely to continue in ever more areas such as tourism, air transport, the movie industry, medicine, economics, sports, education, alternative energies, and even models of development and political governance.

China's economic reform greatly improved living standards of most Chinese, brought a greater prosperity for the country, and also improved China's social and political life and created unprecedented opportunities for the Chinese to pursue their own interests and shape their own destinies. The average Chinese today has far more freedom of personal choice regarding jobs, housing, education, marriage and leisure, study or work. The success of China shows that whatever the political system, it must emphasize good governance which should be an objective of all governments in the world including Global Governments, Global Parliament, and should also be the base of Global Civilization for saving the world. If there is any chance to resolve or at least mitigate the impact of global challenges, one may have to draw on the Chinese ideas of harmony and moderation. Indeed, as global crises of all sorts further intensify, the Global Community may have no alternative but to show solidarity and help each other out of crises, and such solidarity can only be built on the basis of harmony and moderation, and on respecting the political and cultural diversity of this troubled world. In the world today, cultural identities (ethnic, national, religious, civilational) are central, and cultural affinities and differences shape the alliances. The traditional society of China was based on family and kinships, and Chinese ancestors were mainly settled farmers engaged in agricultural activities, in which family and kinships played a uniquely important role. Over the past millennia, there also emerged such prevalent ideas as "family and nation in one". This linkage of an individual's pursuit with a broader and higher special commitment is a core idea of Confucianism, and Confucius famously wrote, "cultivating one's moral character, putting one's house in order, running the country well and letting peace prevail under the heaven". In the process of building a modern state, this old Confucian value has gradually evolved into people's strong sense of identity with the Chinese nation and with its overall cohesiveness.

Chinese society has always been more secular than religious in its long history. Chinese culture was influenced by Confucianism, which is moralistic and humanistic, and this morality and humanism are embeded in the Chinese language. China's Confucian heritage, with its emphasis on authority, order, hierarchy, and the supremacy of the collectivity over the individual, creates obstacles to democratization. Yet economic growth in south China is creating high levels of wealth, a dynamic bourgeoisie, accumulations of economic power outside governmental control, and a rapidly expanding middle class. In addition, Chinese people are deeply involved in the outside world in terms of trade, investment, and education. All this creates a social basis for movement toward political pluralism.

The impacts of globalization. New way of doing business.

Human impacts on the environment are intensifying, raising vexing questions of how best to allocate the limited resources available for biodiversity conservation. Which creatures and places most deserve attention? Which should we ignore, potentially accepting their extinction? The answer to this dilemma depends on one's objectives. To motivate action, conservationists often mix diverse ethical and practical objectives, hoping they will reinforce each other. But attention given to one goal may instead diminish the prospects for achieving others.

Energy, food, and water crises; climate disruption; declining fisheries; increasing ocean acidification; emerging diseases; and increasing antibiotic resistance are examples of serious, intertwined global-scale challenges spawned by the accelerating scale of human activity. They are outpacing the development of institutions to deal with them and their many interactive effects. The core of the problem is inducing cooperation in situations where individuals and nations will collectively gain if all cooperate, but each faces the temptation to take a free ride on the cooperation of others. The nation-state achieves cooperation by the exercise of sovereign power within its boundaries. The difficulty to date is that transnational institutions provide, at best, only partial solutions, and implementation of even these solutions can be undermined by international competition and recalcitrance.

One tends to be alarmed at the popular concept of globalization because  it is based on greed. Globalization is here to stay and is a fact of life. The world has become global. Societies throughout the world are struggling to be in step with the most powerful nations. National economies and financial markets are connected through computer link-up and are interlocked. Commercial banking and business ownership has no economic or political borders. Because of the dynamic of trade in goods and services and because of the movement in capital and technology, production in different countries has become increasingly dependent on one another.

In consequence of globalization, the new economic and political distribution of power around the world has become very different then we were used to. It has become very fluid, in perpetual motion and affected by global markets. Giant new markets are forming all over the world. Competition is hardening. National economies can no longer insure or guarantee rights of possession on any property. National borders no longer mean protection, security, cultural boundaries, resources ownership, political and economic control.

International market regulations try to control or ease the effects of globalization. The effects are often devastating. With globalization comes global problems such as:

    *    unemployment in industrial nations
    *    poverty increases world-wide ~ entire countries in a state of starvation
    *    environmental degradation
    *    national interests of a country changing and becoming more trade oriented and trying to go with the wave of global trade
    *    international interests of a country take prime importance
    *    in developing countries, national debts constrict the institutions of the national state and contribute to the destruction of the economic activity which, in turn, as the effect of creating unemployment
    *    national currencies of many countries are affected by national debts and contribute in destroying social life, creating ethnic conflicts and civil wars
    *   the large corporation is becoming larger and getting more power and control falls into the hands of a few people
    *   globalization is another way of keeping control on our lives in the hands of a few people
    *   with globalization, we have no control and no say in our future and the world becomes a game played by a few people just as it has alway been through history, leading to revolutions and wars
    *   with globalization there is no sense of direction and meaning, no security for the individual, just a few people getting richer and controlling us all.

The need to survive can put checks and balances  on the rampant globalization effects already raging like a virus in our world. To survive what must be re-thought? Old ideas and values, traditions, laws, ways of doing things must be re-evaluated and some left behind.

The choice is simple survival:

*    every man has the right to be able to provide for his family
*    people have the right to food
*    children have the right to be educated
*    the world has a right to clean healthy fields, streams, meadows and mountains, water and breathable air
*    resources can be helped to last indefinitely


Human impacts on the environment and the extinction crisis.

The extinction crisis was caused by an economic system based on capitalism which promotes accumulation by dispossession, and ceaseless growth designed and calculated to encourage a higher yearly GDP that is destroying ecosystems the world over. The global socioeconomic system of capitalism is thus forcing us to work harder to surpass previous GDP consumption and population numbers until we have devoured everything that maintains life, ending up with a polluted, lifeless, and scorched planet. This system made it possible for 1% of people in the world, namely Transnational Corporations CEOs, and mostly global corporate America, to have as much wealth as half the world's population, with always the overriding goal for which maximal profits, and not the needs and welfare of future generations. Capitalism has institutionalized a global ignorance, in which producers and consumers cannot know or care about one another, so that the pollution and human exploitation caused in the production and transportation of goods in the world has remained invisible and opaque to consumers. The combined effects of aggressive marketing, advertising, and planned product obsolescence has meant that the consumer’s oversized footprint is largely a consequence of the global power of this 1% so, in that sense, it is perhaps more accurate to speak of corporate global ecological footprints rather than the footprints of nations or individuals. In a nutshell, capitalism is responsible for the extinction crisis and, therefore, its defenders and endorsers, mainly the CEOs of corporate America at home and overseas, including their Chief Operating Officers, Board of directors, and Chief Financial Officers, should be brought to justice.

Developed economies have been emitting most of the greenhouse gases that had caused the global warming of our planet, climate change, rising sea levels, and today's environmental and life extinction crisis. Unlimited fossil fuel exploitation and production by the developed economies mean a commitment to greenhouse gases pollution. The United States of America has been by far the worst polluter and largely responsible for the crisis in the world today.

What is going on today, the extinction crisis, is largely due to the failure of growth-based capitalism. We need to address the structural deficiencies in the existing system. To maintain a general satisfaction in a social system that’s driven and motivated with competition, endless growth is needed, but in a finite system it must end when natural resources are exhausted. However, greenhouse gases pollution produced in this economic system not only impairs life, but is causing the global warming of the planet, acidifying the oceans, and will be ending life if the system is maintained to its exhaustion. So we have now recognized that both the global environmental problem and the social justice issue associated with the crisis are linked to long histories of capitalist domination over people, other life forms, and plants. The crisis, in other words, ought to be a key issue in the fight for climate justice.

This 21st century is very crucial for humanity as it will determine our survival or not as a species and, consequently, the survival of the next generations. The Biosphere is our world, our home. The lives of all lifeforms and plants on our planet deserve protection, preservation, and care. The genomic information of plants, other lifeforms, and human beings is the common wealth of the planet, and all efforts to make use of this environmental commons must be framed around principles of equality, solidarity, environmental and climate justice. 

Global Civilization disapproves of the limitless exploitation of the natural foundations of life, the relentless destruction of the biosphere, and the militarization of the space within and above the Earth's atmosphere. Several important causes of Global Warming, Climate Change, and the extinction crisis, have given rise of an existential threat to humanity and much of Nature.  

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, developed economies have been emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) which created global warming and today's environmental crisis, and that makes the capitalism system responsible, and we must first change it. By far, the nation that started, and still is pursuing the largest production of GHGs ever since WWII is America. And America is largely responsible for the global warming of the planet and, therefore the increase in the Earth’s surface temperature, the rising of sea level, climate change, and many other worldwide disasters. Unlimited fossil fuel exploitation means a commitment to GHG pollution over 16 times greater than the world’s present remaining Terminal Carbon Pollution Budget that must not be exceeded if we are to have a 75% chance of avoiding a catastrophic 2C temperature rise. America is to be blamed for the extinction crisis, and should pay. 

The extinction crisis is an environmental issue and also a social justice issue, one that is linked to long histories of capitalist domination over people, other lifeforms, and plants. The extinction crisis needs to be seen as a key element in contemporary struggles against accumulation by dispossession. This crisis, in other words, ought to be a key issue in the fight for climate justice. 

Capitalism vs a democratic socialism plus model of global governance.

Democratic socialism advocates that the control and management of natural resources be under the control of the people. The 1 % super rich people worldwide who thrive within capitalism, must be overthrown. This new way of governing can be achieve through legitimate democratic means by voting in a party that represents this way of governing. Democratic socialism plus implies public owership, not private ownership of natural resources.

Democratic socialism means equality in a democratic state, and is attainable only through the ballot box, by voting, Free and fair election determine changes in government and society.

Democratic socialism accommodates dissent and opposing points of view. It ensures a society free from oppression and midnight knocks. It fights dictatorships and control of the super rich 1% of the world population over the natural resources on the planet which caused the planetary state of emergency crisis worlwide, an environmental crisis, a global warming out of control, a climate change crisis, a life extinction crisis, and a widespread life extinctions.

Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts, and ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Civilization proposes that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the pathway to global peace. Over ancient time to this day, morality in society made its way into our ways of doing business. So the set of behaviors that constitute Global Civilization ethic for a business evolved largely because they provided possible survival benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, Peoples evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans developed truly moral, altruistic instincts. When looking across cultures of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures, the major ones include wisdom, knowledge, courage, justice, love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence. These virtues were not always incorporated into the ways of doing business because the 1% business world became corrupted, greedy, no longer in line with humanity's survival on the planet, and more interested in keeping most of the wealth, resources and power for themselves keeping the remaining 99% of the world population in poverty. But today we are going to incorporate these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics. Because today is time to participate and conduct meaningful action to save the world. Let us show the world a truly sustainable governance by promoting what we want and how we have already started to include people in Global Community ways.

The 1% people have as much wealth as half the world's population, and are controlling all economies on the planet. They stand behind an economic system based on a capitalist model. 

Capitalism has institutionalized a global ignorance, in which producers and consumers cannot know or care about one another, and in which the histories of all products will be lost. It is now increasingly evident that only by sharing the world's natural resources more equitably and sustainably will we be able to address both the ecological and social crisis we face as Global Civilization. 

The combined effects of aggressive marketing, advertising, and planned product obsolescence mean that the American consumer’s oversized footprint is largely a consequence and reflection of the global power of Transnational Corporations(TNCs), corporate America. Global warming and climate change denialism requires shutting one’s eyes to obvious realities when the truth is that the Earth is warmer than it has been in 120,000 years. In that sense, it is perhaps more accurate to speak of corporate ecological footprints rather than the footprints of nations or individuals. Globalization has meant the distancing of cause and effect, source and sink, so that the pollution and human exploitation caused in the production and transport of goods has remained invisible and opaque to consumers. 

How can further troubles not come into being when a vicious globalized capitalist system is in existence for which maximal profits, not people and their needs, is always the overriding goal? The global socioeconomic system of capitalism is forcing us to work harder to surpass previous consumption and population numbers until we have devoured everything that maintains life, ending up with a polluted, lifeless, and a scorched planet. 

What is going on today is largely attributable to the failure of growth-based capitalism. We need to address the structural deficiencies in the existing system. To maintain a general satisfaction in a social system that’s driven and motivated with competition, endless growth is needed, but in a finite system it must end when resources are exhausted. However, the pollution which impairs life and the carbon that’s heating the biosphere and acidifying the oceans, would end life if the system is maintained to its exhaustion. 

Economic growth (measured as Gross Domestic Product) and value are seen as the same. Meanwhile, the actual value generated outside of market capitalism – the “care economy,” social labor, eco-stewardship, digital communities and commons – are mostly ignored or considered merely personal (“values”). Today, we have a dictatorship of one kind of value as delivered by the market system, which determines for everyone how they can live and what they should believe in. 

The word “value” is useful to merchants and economists in talking about  money and markets. But it has little relevance when talking about ethical living or the human condition. 

Hence, with the dollar as world money the US gains an automatic borrowing mechanism giving it global policy autonomy denied other states. Given a current account deficit financed by savings of others in the world, US government spending on global militarization and other priorities can expand without “crowding out” private sector borrowing.

The main source of economic reliability in America was transferred over time from gold to dollars, specifically to US treasury bills. This major shift allowed the Federal Reserve to print dollars practically without limit (as seen in recent years with interests rates for borrowing money from the FED at around 0%), well aware that the demand for dollars would never cease, this also keeping alive huge sectors of private and public enterprises (such as the coal industry, fracking industry, car manufacturing, food and farming industries, and most importantly the military industry which has always giving jobs to more than half of America's population). This set a course for a global economic system based on financial instruments like derivatives and other securities instead of real, tangible goods like gold. In doing this for its own benefit, the US has created the conditions for a new financial bubble that could even bring down the entire world economy when it bursts. 

To become great again, the US parlayed the world’s largest national debt, its trade deficit, budget deficit, capital account deficit and savings rate deficit, into a position in the global driver seat through the dollar remaining global hub currency. 

Naturally, the more the dollar was used in the world, the more America had the power to spend on the military. For the US, paying a bill of 6 trillion dollars (this is the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) has been effortless, and this constitutes an unparalleled advantage over countries like China and Russia whose military spending in comparison is a fifth and a tenth respectively. 

The United States found itself in the enviable position of being able to print pieces of paper (simply IOU’s) without any gold backing and then exchange them for real goods from other nations. 

This economic arrangement has allowed America to achieve an unparalleled strategic advantage over its geopolitical opponents (initially the USSR, now Russia and China), namely, a practically unlimited dollar spending capacity even as it accumulates an astronomical public debt (over 21 trillion dollars). The destabilizing factor for the global economy has been America's ability to accumulate enormous amounts of public debt without having to worry about the consequences or even of any possible mistrust international markets may have for the dollar. Countries simply needed dollars for trade and bought US treasures to diversify their financial assets. 

What would be the shape and fundamental goals of an expansive anti-capitalist movement against extinction and for environmental justice? It would have to commence with open recognition by the developed nations of the long history of ecocide. Such an admission would lead to a consequent recognition of the biodiversity debt owed by the wealthy nations of the global North to the South. Building on the demands articulated by the climate justice movement, the anti-capitalist conservation movement must demand the repayment of this biodiversity debt. 

This proposal is based on moving towards a situation in which all nations have the same level of emissions per person (convergence) while contracting them to a level that is sustainable (contraction). A country such as the United States, which has only 5% of the global population, would be allowed no more than 5% of globally sustainable emissions. Such a move would represent a dramatic anti-imperialist shift since the US is at present responsible for 25% of carbon emissions. The powerful individuals and corporations that control nations like the US are not likely to accept such revolutionary curtailments of the wasteful system that supports them without a struggle. Already there is abundant evidence that they would sooner destroy the planet than let even a modicum of their power slip. 

Massive fossil fuel corporations such as Exxon, for example, have funded climate change denialism for the past quarter century despite abundant evidence from their own scientists that burning fossil fuels was creating unsustainable environmental conditions. Such behavior should be seen frankly for what it is: a crime against humanity. We should not expect to negotiate with such destructive entities. Their assets should be seized. Most of these assets, in the form of fossil fuel reserves, cannot be used anyway if we are to avert environmental catastrophe. What remains of these assets should be used to fund a rapid, managed reduction in carbon emissions and a transition to renewable energy generation. These steps should be part of a broader program to transform the current, unsustainable capitalist system that dominates the world into steady state societies founded on principles of equality and environmental justice. 

A legally imposed contraction of the fossil energy supply and a rapid global conversion to renewable energy, is a necessary step toward saving our world, Earth. So what should Global Civilization do to avoid the worst impacts of climate change? Capitalism is based on ceaseless compound growth that is destroying ecosystems the world over, the goal in the rich nations of the global North must be to overturn our present expansionary system by fostering de-growth . Most importantly, nations that have benefited from burning fossil fuels must radically cut their carbon emissions in order to stem the lurch towards runaway climate chaos that endangers the vast majority of current terrestrial forms of life.

Global Community is asking all states and international organizations to participate in the building of just economic institutions within the context of the Global Government of North America (GGNA). So this way, Western civilizations together with Non-Western civilizations would allow Global Civilization to flourish and be successful now and for future generations.

Morality and ethic directives for Global Civilization.

Over ancient time to this day, morality in society made its way into our ways of doing business. So the set of behaviors that constitute Global Civilization ethic for a business evolved largely because they provided possible survival benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, peoples evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans developed truly moral, altruistic instincts. When looking across cultures of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures, the major ones include:

wisdom, knowledge, courage, justice, love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence.

These virtues were not always incorporated into the ways of doing business because the 1% business world became corrupted, greedy, no longer in line with humanity's survival on the planet, and more interested in keeping most of the wealth, resources and power for themselves keeping the remaining 99% of the world population in poverty. But today, Global Civilization incorporates these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics.

Global Civilization ethic for a business offers fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards that every corporate citizen and, to some extent if applicable, the public at large may adapt as their own vision for life's survival on our planet. You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all corporate citizens, regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color, religious and non-religious. Global Civilization vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for corporate citizens to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Corporate citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. Global Civilization ethical grounds for a business are practical, real, and applicable for all corporate women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.

Global Civilization ethics for a business are about how we treat others and a commitment to respect every person humanely and with dignity. For this process to work, global citizens learn to forgive, be patient and compassionate, promote acceptance, open theirs hearts to one another, and practice a culture of solidarity and cooperation. Let go narrow differences between us all for the greater good of humanity and future generations.

Global Civilization ethic for a business aims to identify principles of right action that may be used to guide people in their lives. These principles can be used to decide whether particular courses of action, or particular types of action, are right or wrong. Ethics emphasizes respect for persons, and holds that there are certain actions that should never be done.

Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts, and ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Civilization proposes that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the pathway to global peace.

Global Community is proposing ethics to live by for life's survival on our planet. The illusion (Hope) being the belief that humanity can be repaired by some ethic principle. Humanity urgently wants social and ecological reforms, as well as a spiritual renewal to add trust, meaning, standards and practical guidelines to this new quest for survival. Global citizens want a spiritual home to do good and avoid evil in all its forms.

This of course assumes humanity needs repairs. If so how and why? Dont we have human rights to live by? Yes, we do! Dont we have something to protect the global life-support systems without which life on Earth would be extinct? Yes, we do! Dont we have ethics in all professions? Yes, we do! Dont we have religions to teach us about good moral values to live by? Yes, we do! Are we not mostly good Peoples doing the best they can? Yes, we are! So why do we need repairs for? How can we be better Peoples than we are already?

On the understanding that moralities are sets of self-perpetuating and biologically-driven behaviors which encourage human cooperation, then we all can see why Global Community concepts and approaches to humanity's survival become so urgently needed today. All social other lifeforms, from insects to mammals, have modified their behaviors, by restraining immediate selfishness in order to improve their evolutionary fitness. Human morality, though sophisticated and complex relative to other lifeforms, is essentially a natural phenomenon that evolved to restrict excessive individualism, like with Western civilization including human rights, that could undermine a group's cohesion and thereby reducing the individuals' fitness. On this view, moral codes are ultimately based on emotional instincts and intuitions that were selected for in the past because they aided survival and reproduction.

Now Global Community claims that all lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of all other lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western civilization (and in contrast with certain non-Western civilization traditions) other lifeforms have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created other lifeforms for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.

The ethic proposed here provides no direct solution for all the extensive problems of humanity. The ethic is giving humanity the moral foundation for a better individual and community. Global Community offers a new global order with a vision of Hope and Love away from despair and social chaos. Global Community ethics offer fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards. You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all human beings regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color or religion. Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Scale of Global Rights. To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance. The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. So now Global Community ethics includes a process based on the Scale of Global Rights. Global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. Global Community ethical grounds are practical, real, and applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.

In this paper we are offering the world, once more, guidelines, politics and ethics for human behaviors so needed for Life's survival on our planet.

Morality is the study of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular profession, religion, culture, business, etc., or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal such as Global Community ethics which include all lifeforms over the entire Universe.

Ethics is the branch of philosophy which addresses questions of morality. The word 'ethics' is commonly used interchangeably with 'morality' and sometimes it is used more narrowly to mean the moral principles of a particular tradition, group, or individual. Although the morality of people and their ethics amounts to the same thing, there is a usage that restricts morality to systems that are based on notions such as duty, obligation, and principles of conduct, reserving ethics for practical reasoning, based on the notion of a virtue, and generally avoiding the separation of 'moral' considerations from other practical considerations.

Ethics aims to identify principles of right action that may be used to guide human beings in their lives and within the context of Global Civilization. These principles can be used to decide whether particular courses of action, or particular types of action, are right or wrong. Ethics emphasizes respect for persons, and holds that there are certain actions that should never be done. Ethics seeks to resolve questions dealing with human morality concerning concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. In short, ethics involves systematizing, defending and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct, often addressing disputes of moral diversity.

Wherever there are people there will be conflicts, and ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Community proposes that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the path to global peace.

Modern morality is closely tied to the sociocultural evolution of different Peoples of humanity. Morality is therefore a product of evolutionary forces acting at an individual level and also at the group level through group selection. The set of behaviors that constitute morality evolved largely because they provided possible survival and/or reproductive benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, Peoples evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans developed truly moral, altruistic instincts. When looking across cultures and civilizations of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures and civilizations, the major ones include wisdom; knowledge; courage; humanity; justice; temperance; and transcendence. Each of these includes several divisions. For instance humanity includes love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence.

Moral values can be identified across cultures and civilizations, even if we do not accept a supernatural or universalist understanding of principles: values including integrity, trustworthiness, benevolence, justice, and fairness. These values can be resources for finding common ground between believers and nonbelievers, and for conflicts needing of ethics to resolve their problems.

Morality can thus be defined as an accumulation of interrelated other-regarding behaviors that cultivate and regulate complex interactions within social groups and civilizations. These behaviors includes empathy, reciprocity, altruism, cooperation, and a sense of fairness. For example, it has been convincingly demonstrated that chimpanzees show empathy for each other in a wide variety of contexts. They also possess the ability to engage in deception, and a level of social 'politics' prototypical of our own tendencies for gossip and reputation management.

Global Community ethics are concerned about the leaders of countries, politicians, and political parties, because when they lie in the faces of their people, when they manipulate the truth, or when they are guilty of venality or ruthlessness in domestic or foreign affairs, they forsake their credibility and deserve to lose their offices and their voters; conversely, public opinion should support those politicians who dare to speak the truth to the people at all times.

For example, in the question of global justice, the conflict is between the claims of the nation-state and citizens on one side and the claims of all citizens of the world. Traditionally, priority has been given to the claims of nations, but in recent years thinkers known as global citizens have pressed the claims of all citizens of the world. Global Community represents all global citizens, all lifeforms, and stands for global justice. Political ethics deals not mainly with ideal justice, however, but with realizing moral values in democratic societies where citizens disagree about what ideal justice is. In a pluralist society, how if at all can governments justify a policy of progressive taxation, affirmative action, the right to abortion, universal healthcare, and the like? Political ethics is also concerned with moral problems raised by the need for political compromise, whistleblowing, civil disobedience, and criminal punishment.

Symbiotical relationships.

Symbiotical relationships may be based on common concerns and issues such as: the environment, peace, justice, women's rights, global rights, and many more. There is a whole spectrum of possible symbiotical relationships. Let just make sure they all satisfy the fundamental criteria of a symbiotical relationship.

Most of the principal international institutions were formed from shortly after World War II and are shaped according to Western interests, values, and practices. As Western power declines relative to that of other civilizations, pressures will develop to reshape these institutions to accommodate the interests of those civilizations. The most obvious, most important, and probably most controversial issue concerns permanent membership in the U.N. Security Council. That membership has consisted of the victorious major power of World War II and bears a decreasing relationship to the reality of powers in the world. Over the longer haul either changes are made in its membership or other less formal procedures are likely to develop to deal with security issues, even as the G-20 meetings have dealt with global economic issues. In a multicivilizational world ideally each major civilization should have at least one permanent seat on the Security Council. At present only three do. The United States has endorsed Japanese and German membership but it is clear that they will become permanent members only if other countries do also. Brazil has suggested five new permanent members, albeit without veto power, Germany, Japan, India, Nigeria, and itself. That, however, would leave the world's 1 billion Muslims unrepresented, except in so far as Nigeria might undertake that responsibility. From a civilizational viewpoint, clearly Japan and India should be permanent members, and Africa, Latin America, and the Muslim world should have permanent seats, which should be occupied on a rotating basis by the leading states of those civilizations, selections being made by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Organization of African Unity, and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Organization of African Unity, and the Organization of American States (the United States abstaining). It would also be appropriate to consolidate the British and French seats into a single European Union seat, the rotating occupant of which would be selected by the Union. Seven civilizations would thus each have one permanent seat and the West would have two, an allocation broadly representative of the distribution of people, wealth, and power in the world.

Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of Life on Earth.

Global citizens are civilized people and so the expression "global symbiotical relationship" needs to be defined to include ethics.

A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nation-states, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed by the people or nation-states involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all Life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.

In the context of the global civilization of the 3rd Millennium we have defined that any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour. The question is how can we improve the political symbiotical relationship to fulfill the fundamental criteria? Global Community promotes values and principles to achieve the fundamental criteria and that requires the promoting and establishment of: global community ethics, mutual respect, respect for Life , basic liberties, justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility and accountability.

A global symbiotical relationship between nation-states is more than just a partnership, or an economical agreement such as the WTO. The WTO is about a trade partnership between nation-states. Of course it is a bad idea to be a member of the World Trade Organization ( WTO). There are no advantages! The fundamental criteria is not being fulfilled. It just does not work for anyone except when you have an army like the USA military to knock down any member who does not do your five wishes and plus. A membership in the WTO is not needed and nation-states should instead seek relationships with fewer other nation-states only if needed. Certainly it is better to seek an economic relationship with another nation we can trust than with hundred nation-states we have no control on and everyone of those nation-states has a say in the governing of our nation, its environment and social structure. The WTO only offers illusions to profit the few wealthiest people on Earth. They say "become an industrialized nation as we are". But that is the biggest illusion of all.

The WTO is an illusion hiding endless hunger, deficiency, and need. Not only individuals, but especially unjust institutions and structures are responsible for these tragedies. Millions of people are without work; millions are exploited by poor wages, forced to the edges of society, with their possibilities for the future destroyed. In many nation-states the gap between the poor and the rich, between the powerful and the powerless is immense. Unbridled capitalism have hollowed out and destroyed many ethical and spiritual values. A materialistic mentality breeds greed for unlimited profit and a grasping for endless plunder. These demands claim more and more of the community's resources without obliging the individual to contribute more. The cancerous social evil of corruption thrives in the developing countries and in the developed countries alike.

In the developed countries, a distinction must be made between necessary and limitless consumption, between socially beneficial and non-beneficial uses of property, between justified and unjustified uses of natural resources, and between a profit-only and a socially beneficial and ecologically oriented market economy.

Economic and political power must be used as a service to humanity instead of misusing it in ruthless battles for domination. A system of global governance consisting of a more meaningful union in the form of nine or more Global Governments. The Federation of Global Governments would be the place of meeting between Global Governments. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade, but also with the environment, health, agriculture, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects. Global Community faith can help to develop a spirit of compassion with those who suffer, with special care for the children, the aged, the poor, the disabled, and the refugees. In the developed countries, a distinction must be made between necessary and limitless consumption, between socially beneficial and non-beneficial uses of property, between justified and unjustified uses of natural resources, and between a profit-only and a socially beneficial and ecologically oriented market economy.

Scale of Global Rights.

In society, the proper course of action is one that maximizes a positive effect, such as "happiness", "welfare", "humanity survival", or the ability to live according to personal preferences. Today, it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong. What matters is the combined positive effect of everyone and not only of any one person. Developing ethics that would save humanity from extinction will encounter numerous criticisms from individuals whose basic human rights were violated. But that is to be expected! And there is no other way! Global Community has researched and developed the Scale of Global Rights to continue this process. On the Scale of Global Rights, primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems and ecological rights are on top of the Scale. They are the most important aspects on the Scale.

Ethics holds that moral correctness evolves similarly to scientific knowledge: socially over the course of many generations. Thus, we should prioritize social reform over attempts to account for consequences, individual virtue or duty. And that is what Global Community ethics have been about over the past decades.

There are several obvious applications of Global Civilization ethics. For instance, for those who work in the mass media, they should report for the sake of truth. They do not stand above morality but have the obligation to respect human dignity, global rights, and fundamental values; they are duty-bound to objectivity, fairness, and the preservation of human dignity; they have no right to intrude into individuals' private spheres, to manipulate public opinion, or to distort reality.

The Golden Rule principle applied within Global Civilization.

"Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you". This is a moral axiom which reappears in the writings of almost every culture and religion throughout history, the one we know as the Golden Rule. Moral directives do not need to be complex or obscure to be worthwhile, and in fact, it is precisely this rule's simplicity which makes it great. It is easy to come up with, easy to understand, and easy to apply, and these three things are the hallmarks of a strong and healthy moral system. The idea behind it is readily graspable: before performing an action which might harm another person, try to imagine yourself in their position, and consider whether you would want to be the recipient of that action. If you would not want to be in such a position, the other person probably would not either, and so you should not do it. It is the basic and fundamental human trait of empathy, the ability to vicariously experience how another is feeling, that makes this possible, and it is the principle of empathy by which we should live our lives. One other version of the Golden Rule makes a political and economic point: "Whoever have the resources (oil and gas, water, food, etc.), make the rules."

Trying to live according to the Golden Rule means trying to empathise with other people, including those who may be very different from us. Empathy is at the root of kindness, compassion, understanding and respect. Those are qualities that we all appreciate being shown, whoever we are, whatever we think and wherever we come from. And although it is not possible to know what it really feels like to be a different person or live in different circumstances and have different life experiences, it is not difficult for most of us to imagine what would cause us suffering and to try to avoid causing suffering to others.

Teaching the young generation about Global Civilization.

Global Community ethics are about how we treat others and a commitment to respect every person humanely and with dignity. For this process to work, global citizens learn to forgive, be patient and compassionate, promote acceptance, open theirs hearts to one another, and practice a culture of solidarity and cooperation. Let go narrow differences for the greater good of humanity and future generations.

It is Global Community challenge to develop ethics, moral directives, that can be acceptable to all Peoples for the survival of all life on our planet, and that will require sacrifices from us all. Let us remember over and over again that our primary goal and the most important principle on the Scale of Global Rights is the survival of all Life on Earth.

Young people have a right to information and education to be able to make the decisions that will form their lives. Without an ethical formation they will hardly be able to distinguish the important from the unimportant. They will not understand living now requires sacrifices and the primary goal of society today is the survival of all Life on our planet. They must be shown at home and in school that violence is not a means of settling differences with others.

In the daily flood of information, ethical standards will help them discern when opinions are portrayed as facts, interests veiled, tendencies exaggerated, and facts twisted.

They must learn at home and in school that sexuality is not a negative, destructive, or exploitative force, but creative and affirmative. Sexuality as a life-affirming shaper of community can only be effective when partners accept the responsibilities of caring for one another's happiness.

Young people have human rights but they have to learn what their rights really means and the responsibilities attached to them. They should not be allowed to abuse those rights for personal power gain as we so often seen in the world today.

Our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global life-support systems. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for leadership.

Those who fight to protect life on Earth for this generation and the next ones are the defenders of the environment and the global life-support systems. They know who the beasts are, the planarchists, and how they destroy the living on our planet. They have rallied together all over the world to protect our home, Earth. We know it all! We know how everything works. And we will do whatever it takes to protect life on Earth. "We the Peoples", the Global Community, the Federation of Global Governments, are the Earth revolutionaries, and we will protect life on Earth at all costs.

We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and to grow strong caring communities in which we get more of our human satisfaction from caring relationships and less from material goods. We need to reclaim the ideal of being a democratic middle-class people without extremes of wealth and poverty. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. This means letting go a sense of ourselves as consumption machines.




Conclusion


Back to Main Paper for this Newsletter of "A successful Global Civilization for all Life". gg

In this paper it is shown that saving humanity, all life on Earth, requires that Global Civilization be a civilizational state.

It is impossible within the scope of this paper to describe, compare, and evaluate all past and present civilizations, and conclude that "A successful Global Civilization for all Life" would have the following distinguishing characteristics of Global Civilization. Nevertheless, let us see what can be found within the context of today civilizations, what are possible surviving solutions for Life on Earth, and even attempt to promote a system of global governance consisting of a more meaningful world union in the form of nine or more Global Governments and Global Parliament.

In order to understand the rise of a civilizational state and of Global Civilization as a civilizational state, it is useful to understand the concept of a nation-state. A nation-state generally refers to a state made up of people who share some common traits such as language, religion and way of life. Europe is the birthplace of nation-states, and nationalism pushed much of Europe's nationhood and modernization, and also proved to be a major cause of conflicts and wars. During the 18th and 19th centuries, nation-states emerged one after another in Europe, the earliest nation-state being France. Our first description of a civilization with nation-states will be that of the Western civilization which emerged about A.D. 700 or 800. It has three major components: Europe, North America, and Latin America. A civilization is generally defined as an advanced state of human society with important characteristics. Historians, anthropologists, and other scholars have researched several core characteristics of civilization. Some of the most important characteristics of the Western civilization include:

a) Western Christianity, namely Catholicism and Protestantism, is the most important characteristic of Western civilization. There exists a well-developed sense of community among Western Christian peoples.

b) Language is second only to religion as a factor distinguishing people of one culture from those of another.The West differs from most other civilizations in its multiplicity of languages such as Japanese, Hindi, Manderin, Russian, and Arabic. The West inherited Latin from its past.

c) God and Caesar, church and state, spiritual authority and temporal authority, have been a prevailing dualism in Western culture. The separation between church and state that typify Western civilization have existed in no other civilization. This division of authority contributed immeasurably to the development of freedom in the West.

d) The concept of the centrality of law to civilized existence was inherited from the Romans. The tradition of the rule of law laid the basis for constitutionalism and the protection of human rights, including property rights, against the exercise of arbitrary power. In most other civilizations law was a much less important factor in shaping thought and behavior.

e) Historically Western society has been highly pluralistic and that was a distinguishing characteristic, the rise of diverse autonomous groups not based on blood relationship or marriage. These groups included monasteries, monastic orders, guilds, and a variety of other associations and societies. Most Western European societies included a strong and autonomous aristocracy, a peasantry, and a class of merchants and traders.

f) Social pluralism gave rise to estates, parliaments, and other institutions to represent the interests of the aristocracy, clergy, merchants, and other groups. These bodies provided forms of representation which in the course of modernization evolved into the institutions of modern democracy. They provided a vehicle for expanded political participation. Then movements for self-government developed in cities and spread forcing bishops, local barons, and other nobles to share power with the people. Representation at the national level was thus supplemented by a measure of autonomy at the local level.
g) Over time emerged a sense of individualism and a tradition of individual rights and liberties unique among civilized societies, even claims for equal rights for all individuals. Again and again both Westerners and non-Westerners point to individualism as the central distinguishing mark of the West.

These concepts, practices, and institutions have been more prevalent in the West than in non-Western civilizations. They are in large part the factors which enabled the West to take the lead in modernizing itself and the world. The expansion of the West has promoted both the modernization and the Westernization of non-Western societies. Today, the total rejection of modernization is hardly possible in a world becoming overwhelmingly modern and highly interconnected. Only the very most extreme fundamentalists reject modernization. The religious values, moral assumptions, and social structures of the non-Western societies are at best alien, and sometime hostile, to the values and practices of individualism. Even extreme proponents of anti-Westernism and the revitalization of indigenous cultures do not hesitate to use modern techniques of e-mail, computers, compact discs, USB devices, the Internet, and television to promote their cause. So modernization does not necessarily mean Westernization. Non-Western societies can modernize and have modernized without abandoning their own cultures and adopting wholesale Western values, institutions, and practices. Whatever obstacles non-Western cultures pose to modernization pale before those they pose to Westernization. In short, modernization means a great victory and achievement of Global Civilization on Earth.

Ever since the beginning of the post-Cold War, global politics worldwide has become multipolar and multicivilizational. For hundreds of years, the nation-states of the West, namely Spain, France, Great Britain, Austria, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, formed a multipolar world within Western civilization. Afresh, Americans have defined themselves, their society, in opposition to Europe. America is the land of freedom, equality, opportunity, the future, and is a distinct core-state civilization. Democratic societies led by the United States were engaged in a pervasive ideological, economic, political, and, sometimes, military invasion of the communist societies of the Soviet Union and in the Third World. Only Russian, Japanese, and Ethiopian civilizations, all governed by highly centralized imperial authorities, were able to resist the onslaught of the West and maintain meaningful independent existence. During those years, not so much ideologies, but economics and politics were differentiating peoples of different civilizations. Nevertheless, their cultures, their ways of life, ways doing things have been their most distinguishing characteristics. Those characteristics have been defined by religion, language, ancestry, history, communities, ethnic groups, customs, nations, and also by major levels of classification being civilizations. In modern era, Western civilization, the West, is referred to the European-American civilization.

Inevitability, the fates of the United States and of the West depend upon Americans asserting strongly once more their commitment to Western civilization. At home, this means rejecting the divisive urgent need of multiculturalism. Internationally it means letting go the elusive and illusory calls to identify the United States with Asia. Whatever economic connections may exist between them, the fundamental cultural gap between Asian and American societies prevents their joining together in a common home such as a Global Civilizational state or a global empire lead by the United States. Americans are culturally part of the Western family; multiculturalists may damage and even destroy that relationship but they cannot replace it. When Americans look for their cultural roots, they find them in Europe. As Western countries increasingly interact with increasingly powerful non-Western societies they become more and more aware of their common Western cultural core that binds them together. If North America and Europe renew their moral life, build on their cultural commonality, and develop close forms of economic and political integration to supplement their security collaboration in NATO, they could generate a third Euroamerican phase of Western economic affluence and political influence.

Furthermore and equally possible, a referendum about the UK leaving the EU, an economic and political partnership involving 28 European countries, a vote, called the Brexit, in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part, was held on Thursday 23 June, 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting. Over time, the EU has grown to become a "single market" allowing goods and people to move around, basically as if the member states were one country. It has its own currency, the euro, which is used by 19 of the member countries, its own parliament and it now sets rules in a wide range of areas - including the environment, transport, consumer rights and even things such as mobile phone charges. But the withdrawal agreement reached between the EU and UK has been rejected three times by UK MPs. The EU leaders have now backed a six-month extension until 31 October 2019. However, the UK will leave before this date if the withdrawal agreement is ratified by the UK and the EU.

Now, if North America was already united as a Global Government described here in this Paper, and the UK decided to be a part of the Global Government of North America (GGNA) instead of staying with the EU, then that could be another alternative for the people of the UK. Renewing their moral life, building on their cultural commonality with the GGNA, and developing close forms of economic and political integration to supplement their security collaboration in NATO, they could also generate a third UK-American phase of Western economic affluence and political influence.

Meaningful political integration with the UK bounded by a Global Civilizational state, the GGNA, would in some measure counter the relative decline in the West's share of the world's people, economic product, and military capabilities and revive the power of the West in the eyes of the leaders of other civilizations. Whether the West comes together politically and economically depends overwhelmingly on whether the United States reaffirms its identity as a Western nation and defines its global role as the leader of Western civilization.

The West, especially the United States, believe that peoples from the non-Western civilizations should commit themselves to the Western values of democracy, free markets, limited government, human rights, individualism, the rule of law, and should embody these values in their institutions. What is Global Civilization to the West is imperialism to the rest of the world. The West will continue to attempt to sustain its preeminent position and defend its interests by defining interests of Global Civilization. The West is attempting to integrate the economies of non-Western societies into a global economic system which it dominates. Through the World Bank and the IMF, and other international economic institutions, the West promotes its economic interests and imposes on other nations the economic policies it thinks appropriate.

Having achieved political independence, non-Western societies wish to free themselves from Western economic, military, and cultural domination. East Asian societies are well on their way to equaling the West economically. Asian and Islamic countries are looking for shortcuts to balance the West militarily. The global aspirations of Western civilization, the declining relative power of the West, and the increasing cultural assertiveness of other civilizations ensure generally difficult relations between the West and the rest of the world.

If it became prominent at home, the impact of multiculturalism in the United States would threaten the United States and the West. A Global Civilization abroad would threaten the West and the world. A multicultural America is impossible because a non-Western America is not American. And a multicultural world is unavoidable because global empire is impossible. The preservation of the United States and the West requires the renewal of Western identity. The security of the world requires acceptance of global multiculturality. Cultures prescribe institutions and behavior patterns to guide humans in the paths which are right in a particular society. Instead of promoting the supposedly global features of one global civilization, the requisites for cultural coexistence demand a search for what is common to most civilizations. It is a search for a Global Civilizational state. In a multicivilizational world, the constructive course is to renounce global culture, accept diversity, and seek commonalities. There are core values which different ethnic and religious societies have in common.

Certainly a statement of Western civilization and particularly of American values would give far more weight to the rights of the individual as against those of the community, to freedom of expression and truth emerging out of the contest of ideas, to political participation and competition, and to the rule of law as against the rule of expert. Commonalities exist between Asia and the West. Whatever the degree to which humankind is divided, the world's major religions, Western Christianity, Orthodoxy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, also share key values in common. A Global Civilization can emerge gradually through the exploration and expansion of these commonalities. Peace in a multicivilizational world is the finding of commonalities: peoples in all civilizations should search for and attempt to expand the values, institutions, and practices they have in common with peoples of other civilizations. This effort would contribute to strengthening Global Civilization which is a complex mix of higher levels of morality, religion, learning, art, philosophy, technology, and material wellbeing.

Because of modernization, global politics today is being reconfigured along cultural lines and civilizations. And of course, Global Civilization is finally giving its historical place as the global solution to saving humanity from complete extinction. Peoples and countries with similar cultures are coming together. Alignments defined by ideology and superpower relations are giving way to alignments defined by culture and civilization. A civilization may also include people who share in and identify with its culture, but who live in states dominated by members of another civilization. Civilizations usually have one or more places viewed by their members as the principal source or sources of the civilization's culture. These sources are often located within the core state or states of the civilization, that is, its most powerful and culturally central state or states. For instance, Japanese civilization is virtually identical with the single Japanese core state. Sinic, Orthodox, and Hindu civilizations each have one overwhelmingly dominant core state, other member states, and people affiliated with their civilization in states dominated by people of a different civilization (overseas Chinese, near abroad Russians, Sri Lankan Tamils).

The components of order in today's more complex and heterogenous world are found within and between civilizations. The world will be ordered on the basis of civilizations or not at all. In this world the core states of civilizations are sources of order within civilizations and, through negotiations with other core states, between civilizations.

Now, let us have a more specific definition and understanding of non-Western civilizations.

Non-Western societies, such as those in East Asia, are expanding their economic wealth, political strength, military power, claiming their own cultural values and letting go those constrained on them by the West. Nations with cultural similarities cooperate economically and politically. On the other hand, international organizations based on states with cultural commonality, such as the European Union, are far more successful than those that attempt to overshadow cultures. The reviving of religion worldwide is energizing these cultural differences. For instance, East Asian economic success has its primary source in East Asian culture. Power has shifted from the predominant West to non-Western civilizations, and global politics has become multipolar and multicivilizational.

When defining the culture of a civilization with respect to its behavior, a socially acceptable behavior would be a behavior that is accepted as normal or appropriate within a social culture or subculture. But today in world affairs, nation-states behaviors are shaped by the pursuit of power and wealth and also by cultural preferences, commonalities, and differences. The most significant and consequential groupings of states are now the world's major civilizations where local politics is the politics of ethnicity, and global politics is the politics of civilizations. Conflicts and wars will occur between peoples in association with different cultural groups.

Having defined what was meant by a nation-state, and a core-state within civilizations, and to a great extent within Western civilization, a much different attitude toward life in society can be found in non-Western civilizations, especially in China.

China as a civilization-state had a history of several thousands of years, and Chinese people lived on its soil and evolved its own unique civilization. The concept of a "civilization-state" was applied to mean that China was still faced with many difficulties when it was trying to make the transition from a civilization-state to a nation-state, and the Western-states blamed China's thousands of years of civilization for being a burden on its effort to build a modern state. In other words, being a civilization-state, China found it hard to evolve modern laws, economics, defense, education and political governance. Today's China has established an unprecendented modern state system which includes a unified government, market, economy, education, law, defense, finance and taxation. Yet the Chinese people still retains their many traditions associated with a civilization-state, and these traditions are playing a vital role today in China's success. There are many civilizations, Western civilization being one of them, but China is the only civilization-state, which is defined by its extraordinarily long history and also its huge geographic scale and social diversity. For China, unity is its first priority, and plurality the condition of its existence, and that is why China could offer Hong Kong "one country two systems", a model alien to a nation-state. The Chinese state enjoys a very different kind of relationship with society compared with the Western state. It enjoys much greater natural authority, legitimacy and respect, even though not a single vote is cast for the government. The reason is that the state is seen by the Chinese people as the guardian, custodian and embodiment of their civilization. The duty of the state is to protect its unity. The legitimacy of the state therefore lies deep in Chinese history. This is utterly different from how the state is seen by Western societies.

In China's long history, all governments are expected to show special concern for improving people's livelihood, tackel natural and man-made disasters, and cope with all the challenges posed by China's huge population and vast territory. It is unimaginable that most Chinese would ever accept the so-called multi-party democratic system with a change of central government every four years. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not a party as the concept "party" is understood in the West. In essence, the CPC continues the long tradition of a unified Confucian ruling entity, which represents the interest of the whole society, rather than a Western-style political party which openly represents group interests. In China, political ideas and practices over the past millennia are the most important source of the Chinese perception of legitimacy. One could well apply the Chinese concept of "selection of talents based on meritocracy" to the Western society and question the Western concept of legitimacy. Without this legitimacy based on meritocracy, how could a regime be qualified to govern? How could a regime be accountable to its people and to the world?

As a modern state, China accepts the concept of the sovereign equality of states and prevailing conceptions of human rights. China is unique due to the many traditions and features originating from its civilization. This is also the key conceptual difference between a civilizational state and a civilization-state. The civilizational state represents an amalgamation of an old civilization and a modern nation-state. On the other hand, a civilization-state reflects the tension between the two. As a civilizational state, China is both old and young, both traditional and modern, both Chinese and global. At least eight features can be distilled from the civilizational state of China: 1) a very large population, 2) a vast territoty, 3) very long traditions, 4) a unique language, 5) richest cultural heritages, 6) a political system with Chinese characteristics, 7) a distinctive society, 8) a unique way of running an economy.

'Sinic' includes the culture of China and Chinese communities in Southeast Asia and outside of China as well as the related cultures of Vietnam and Korea. Confucianism is a major part of Chinese civilization. A vision of a new world has begun centuries ago, and is based largely on civilizational values. The world order is now one of diverse civilizations many of which have contributed to human progress toward a harmonious world. China is the first authentic world power with a genuine, real global vision because the Chinese government approach to global politics has been civilizational, not imperialist. What made the Chinese different from the Europeans was that the Chinese people command the interest of others by their power to give. China claims to be a uniquely ethical power because the Chinese people have no notion of the 'other' outside the system. So China has never wished to colonize anyone and has never had a civilizing mission. The leadership of China today is more about a mutual cooperation, a true harmony of interests between civilizations, one that is more ecologically friendly in reflecting the balance of Nature. But that is unlikely to appeal to the Democrat or Republican people of the United States. What appears to be emerging is a world of two different orders, a US-centric and a Sino-centric system.

Within China development model, the four features of the civilizational state (population, territory, tradition and culture) all constitute China's greatest strengths. China has the richest human resources and potentially the largest consumer market; China has an unparalleled geopolitical and geoeconomic status; China has its tradition of independent thinking, and has the richest cultural resources in the world. China is a civilizational state generating its own standards and values and making unique contributions to the world civilizations. China's rise is that of a civilizational state with a strong historical and cultural traditions. The original, continuous and endogenous nature of these traditions is indeed rare and unique in the world. It does not imitate or follow other models and has its own intrinsic logic of evolution and development. The civilizational state has a strong capability to draw on the strengths of other nations while maintaining its own identity. The Chinese people have a deep respect of Nature and have applied the secular application of ethics and political philosophy to social, economic, and political governance. Chinese culture is more inclusive than exclusive, within the broad conceptual framework of the Confucian idea of 'unity in diversity". The greatest wisdom of a civilizational state is its long tradition of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and this wisdom is first reflected in the Chinese language. Chinese characters are commonly made up of various components, and the components often give a hint of the pronunciation and the meaning of the word, and they are structured in such a way that they often follow the principle of "seeking common ground while reserving differences". The Chinese language seems to underline the fact that seeking commonality from diversity is a trait of Chinese culture. The governance of a civilizational state follows the same logic, and if one can focus on seeking the commonalities of different interest groups, one stands a better chance of solving the tensions among them, whether it is a tension between regions, between enterprises, between social groups or between rich and poor.

The rise and evolution of China is not the rise and evolution of another ordinary country but the rise and evolution of one fifth of the world's population, 1.3 billion people. It is the rise and evolution of a civilizational state with a long history and a vast territory. With their diligence, sacrifice and wisdom, the Chinese people have created a miracle and pioneered their own model of development which includes education, healthcare, housing, global environment, and the quality of life in any given place in China. China's rise is the rise of a civilizational state which has amalgamated the world's longest continuous civilization with a huge modern state. If a civilizational state like China was to follow the Western model of development rather than to its own path, the country would experience chaos and break up. The nature of China as a civilizational state determines that given its cultural traditions, China is not likely to be a country bent on confrontation. Rather, it is likely to seek peaceful co-existence, mutual learning and win-win outcomes with other countries and other political systems.

China's civilizational state is a product of hundreds of states amalgamated into one over China's long and continuous history. In China 92% of the Chinese identify themselves as Han Chinese. China's rapid progress in such areas as tourism, automobile industry, the Internet, high-speed trains and urbanization has demonstrated China's capacity for learning, adaptation and innovation.

The average Chinese today has far more freedom of personal choice regarding jobs, housing, education, marriage and leisure, study or work. The success of China shows that whatever the political system, it must emphasize good governance which should be an objective of all governments in the world including Global Governments, Global Parliament, and should also be the base of Global Civilization. If there is any chance to resolve or at least mitigate the impact of global challenges, one may have to draw on the Chinese ideas of harmony and moderation. Indeed, as global crises of all sorts further intensify, the Global Community may have no alternative but to show solidarity and help each other out of crises, and such solidarity can only be built on the basis of harmony and moderation, and on respecting the political and cultural diversity of this troubled world. In the world today, cultural identities (ethnic, national, religious, civilitional) are central, and cultural affinities and differences shape the alliances. The traditional society of China was based on family and kinships, and Chinese ancestors were mainly settled farmers engaged in agricultural activities, in which family and kinships played a uniquely important role.

Chinese society has always been more secular than religious in its long history. Chinese culture was influenced by Confucianism, which is moralistic and humanistic, and this morality and humanism are embeded in the Chinese language. China's Confucian heritage, with its emphasis on authority, order, hierarchy, and the supremacy of the collectivity over the individual, creates obstacles to democratization. Yet economic growth in south China is creating high levels of wealth, a dynamic bourgeoisie, accumulations of economic power outside governmental control, and a rapidly expanding middle class. In addition, Chinese people are deeply involved in the outside world in terms of trade, investment, and education. All this creates a social basis for movement toward political pluralism.

This 21st century is very crucial for humanity as it will determine our survival or not as a species and, consequently, the survival of the next generations. The Biosphere is our world, our home. The lives of all lifeforms and plants on our planet deserve protection, preservation, and care. The genomic information of plants, animals, and human beings is the common wealth of the planet, and all efforts to make use of this environmental commons must be framed around principles of equality, solidarity, environmental and climate justice. 

Democratic socialism advocates that the control and management of natural resources be under the control of the people. The 1 % super rich people worldwide who thrive within capitalism, must be overthrown. This new way of governing can be achieve through legitimate democratic means by voting in a party that represents this way of governing. Democratic socialism plus implies public owership, not private ownership of natural resources.

Democratic socialism means equality in a democratic state, and is attainable only through the ballot box, by voting, Free and fair election determine changes in government and society.

Democratic socialism accommodates dissent and opposing points of view. It ensures a society free from oppression and midnight knocks. It fights dictatorships and control of the super rich 1% of the world population over the natural resources on the planet which caused the planetary state of emergency crisis worlwide, an environmental crisis, a global warming out of control, a climate change crisis, a life extinction crisis, and a widespread life extinctions.

What would be the shape and fundamental goals of an expansive anti-capitalist movement against extinction and for environmental justice? It would have to commence with open recognition by the developed nations of the long history of ecocide. Such an admission would lead to a consequent recognition of the biodiversity debt owed by the wealthy nations of the global North to the South. Building on the demands articulated by the climate justice movement, the anti-capitalist conservation movement must demand the repayment of this biodiversity debt. 

This proposal is based on moving towards a situation in which all nations have the same level of emissions per person (convergence) while contracting them to a level that is sustainable (contraction). A country such as the United States, which has only 5% of the global population, would be allowed no more than 5% of globally sustainable emissions. Such a move would represent a dramatic anti-imperialist shift since the US is at present responsible for 25% of carbon emissions. The powerful individuals and corporations that control nations like the US are not likely to accept such revolutionary curtailments of the wasteful system that supports them without a struggle. Already there is abundant evidence that they would sooner destroy the planet than let even a modicum of their power slip. 

A legally imposed contraction of the fossil energy supply and a rapid global conversion to renewable energy, is a necessary step toward saving our world, Earth. So what should Global Civilization do to avoid the worst impacts of climate change? Capitalism is based on ceaseless compound growth that is destroying ecosystems the world over, the goal in the rich nations of the global North must be to overturn our present expansionary system by fostering de-growth . Most importantly, nations that have benefited from burning fossil fuels must radically cut their carbon emissions in order to stem the lurch towards runaway climate chaos that endangers the vast majority of current terrestrial forms of life.

Global Community is asking all states and international organizations to participate in the building of just economic institutions within the context of the Global Government of North America (GGNA). So this way, Western civilizations together with Non-Western civilizations would allow Global Civilization to flourish and be successful now and for future generations.

Over ancient time to this day, morality in society made its way into our ways of doing business. So the set of behaviors that constitute Global Civilization ethic for a business evolved largely because they provided possible survival benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, peoples evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans developed truly moral, altruistic instincts. When looking across cultures of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures, the major ones include:

wisdom, knowledge, courage, justice, love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence.
These virtues were not always incorporated into the ways of doing business because the 1% super rich businesses became corrupted, greedy, no longer in line with humanity's survival on the planet, and more interested in keeping most of the wealth, resources and power for themselves keeping the remaining 99% of the world population in poverty. But today, Global Civilization incorporates these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics.

Global Civilization ethic for a business offers fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards that every corporate citizen and, to some extent if applicable, the public at large may adapt as their own vision for life's survival on our planet. You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all corporate citizens, regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color, religious and non-religious. Global Civilization vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for corporate citizens to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Corporate citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. Global Civilization ethical grounds for a business are practical, real, and applicable for all corporate women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.

Global Civilization ethics for a business are about how we treat others and a commitment to respect every person humanely and with dignity. For this process to work, global citizens learn to forgive, be patient and compassionate, promote acceptance, open theirs hearts to one another, and practice a culture of solidarity and cooperation. Let go narrow differences between us all for the greater good of humanity and future generations.

Global Civilization ethic for a business aims to identify principles of right action that may be used to guide people in their lives. These principles can be used to decide whether particular courses of action, or particular types of action, are right or wrong. Ethics emphasizes respect for persons, and holds that there are certain actions that should never be done.

In this paper we are offering the world, once more, guidelines, politics and ethics for human behaviors so needed for Life's survival on our planet.

Morality is the study of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular profession, religion, culture, business, etc., or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal such as Global Community ethics which include all lifeforms over the entire Universe.

Morality can thus be defined as an accumulation of interrelated other-regarding behaviors that cultivate and regulate complex interactions within social groups and civilizations. These behaviors includes empathy, reciprocity, altruism, cooperation, and a sense of fairness. For example, in the question of global justice, the conflict is between the claims of the nation-state and citizens on one side and the claims of all citizens of the world. Traditionally, priority has been given to the claims of nations, but in recent years thinkers known as global citizens have pressed the claims of all citizens of the world. Global Civilization represents all global citizens, all lifeforms, and stands for global justice. Political ethics deals not mainly with ideal justice, however, but with realizing moral values in democratic societies where citizens disagree about what ideal justice is. In a pluralist society, how if at all can governments justify a policy of progressive taxation, affirmative action, the right to abortion, universal healthcare, and the like? Political ethics is also concerned with moral problems raised by the need for political compromise, whistleblowing, civil disobedience, and criminal punishment.

Economic and political power must be used as a service to humanity instead of misusing it in ruthless battles for domination. A system of global governance is needed consisting of a more meaningful union in the form of nine or more Global Governments. The Federation of Global Governments would be the place of meeting between Global Governments. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade, but also with the environment, health, agriculture, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects. Global Civilization can help to develop a spirit of compassion with those who suffer, with special care for the children, the aged, the poor, the disabled, and the refugees. In the developed countries, a distinction must be made between necessary and limitless consumption, between socially beneficial and non-beneficial uses of property, between justified and unjustified uses of natural resources, and between a profit-only and a socially beneficial and ecologically oriented market economy.

We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and to grow strong caring communities in which we get more of our human satisfaction from caring relationships and less from material goods. We need to reclaim the ideal of being a democratic middle-class people without extremes of wealth and poverty. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. This means letting go a sense of ourselves as consumption machines.

A successful Global Civilizational state for all Life on Earth is on the horizon. Let us lead the world toward a Global Civilizational state.

What makes Life on planet Earth habitable for all species?



Earth is located in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way (called the Orion Arm) which lies about two-thirds of the way out from the center of the Galaxy. Here we are part of the Solar System - a group of eight planets, as well as numerous comets and asteroids and dwarf planets which orbit the Sun.



What makes Life on planet Earth habitable? It is the right distance from the Sun, it is protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field, it is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere, and it has the right chemical ingredients for life, including water and carbon.



zzz



Scientists say we should look for three key ingredients that make life possible: liquid water, chemistry, and energy. Also, because life takes time to develop.

Water is the most important element for Earth to support life. But friendships, relationships, time, memories, and experiences are what truly matters in life. It's those people and things that can never be replaced, even if we try. Purpose is another important aspect of life because, without purpose, we would feel empty and void of everything.

Almost all the processes that make up life on Earth can be broken down into chemical reactions - and most of those reactions require a liquid to break down substances so they can move and interact freely.

Love the world, save the world! Rise up global citizens. You are needed! Life needs you, now. Take significant and meaningful actions to save Earth, all Life, from complete extinction. Let us lead the world toward Global Civilizational State for education, Justice, protection of life species on Earth, and for new ways of doing business and trade, in global development, and in the management of global resources.

At the origin of this quest, a source no one remembers, was a long, arduous search for something to save the world, to take all our dreams, fears, and goals, and wrap them up into an attainable journey. More was written during Global Dialogue 2024 and, of course, during all Global Dialogues since 1985. Let me remind you of the first addendum to the paper published for the month of August, 2023, and also is an addition to today's document.

( see enlargement What Global Community stands for.   Global Community  35th year   achievements and celebration from its beginning in 1985 to 2024. What we stand for.

The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. The signals consisted of a type of carbon molecule that is produced by living things. But Earth is considered as the home of humankind.

Planet Earth is the home of human beings as it provides favourable living conditions which constitute our environment. It provides us with the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat and land where we live.

Among the stunning variety of worlds in our solar system, only Earth is known to host life. But other moons and planets show signs of potential habitability.

What makes Earth suitable for all life? It should, however, be stated that democracy-building in our place in history is far easier to achieve in an authoritarian setting compared to a totalitarian one.

  • Distance of the Earth from the Sun.
  • Importance of light on the Earth.
  • Importance of Earth's Atmosphere.
  • Importance of Ozone Layer.
  • Favourable Climatic Condition.
  • Water.
  • Force of attraction (Earth's gravitational pull)

Global Community stands for a democracy based on the fact that land, air, water, oil & gas, all minerals, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum are natural resources, and rightly belong to Global Community as a birthright, and they are for sharing as per the Scale of Global Rights.

We can all have Peace on Earth, our Global Community. And so, let us all celebrate our 39th Anniversary since 1985 to 2024.

Let us continue to buildup the Multicivilizational Community, and our Global Civilizational State to keep Peace in the world with sustainability.

The idea of creating global dialogues was first brought forward in a report on global changes published in 1990 by Germain Dufour. The report contained 450 policies (workable sound solutions) on sustainable development, and was presented to the United Nations, the Government of Canada, the provincial government of Alberta and several non-profit organizations and scientists.

There was a need at the time for helping humanity back onto the path of survival this millennium. There is still a need for such help and most likely will continue to be so forever.

Global dialogues are the source of new ideas and finding new ways for our survival and taking along with us other lifeforms on the planet. 

The people of Global Community, are using global dialogues to resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human rights abuses.

In order to bring about the event of peace, Global Community is offering other good organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. We can accomplish this task by concrete actions such as:

a) Tracking armed conflicts within and between nations around the world and offering assistance in dispute resolution;

b) Promoting human rights and democracy;

c) Monitoring democratic elections;and 

d) Educating the public about the advantages of a peaceful solution to any conflict. Global Community also proposes that all nations of the world promote the Scale of Human and Earth Rights and the criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship.

Every global community citizen lives a life with the higher values described in the Scale and the criteria. Global community citizens are good members of the human family. Most global problems, including global warming and world overpopulation, can be managed through acceptance of the Scale and the criteria. 

Global Community can contribute in evaluating options and strategies for adapting to climate change as it occurs, and in identifying human activities that are even now maladapted to climate. There are two fundamental types of response to the risks of climate change:

1. reducing the rate and magnitudes of change through mitigating the causes, and

2. reducing the harmful consequences through anticipatory adaptation.

Mitigating the causes of global warming implies limiting the rates and magnitudes of increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, either by reducing emissions or by increasing sinks for atmospheric CO2. Reducing the harmful consequences can be achieved by co-operating together with the global ministries on climate change and emergencies.

Global Community has created the https://globalcommunitywebnet.com/globalcommunity /globalministries.htm global ministries to help humanity be prepared to fight the harmful consequences of a global warming through anticipatory adaptation. The global ministries on climate change and emergencies are now operating. The ministries have developed:

1. policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and

2. strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change.

Global Community has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within Global Community. We will work together in working out sound solutions to local and global problems. It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it).

There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better. Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future.

Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. Global Community can help people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.

The responsibility of a peacemaker is to settle differences through compromise and negotiation before they erupt into violence. Conflicting views do not have to bring about fighting. War is an irreversible solution to a problem. War is never an appropriate solution to resolve a conflict.  Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations through the process of the  Earth Court of Justice.

*The replacement of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Scale of Global Rights;

*The way Society view Nature and the capitalist system of governance;

*Fossil fuels being ussed only for essential services;

Because of modernization, global politics today is being reconfigured along cultural lines and civilizations. And of course, Global Civilizational State is finally giving its historical place as the global solution to saving humanity, and all other lifeforms on Earth, from complete extinction.

Peoples and countries with similar cultures are coming together. Alignments defined by ideology and superpower relations are giving way to alignments defined by culture and civilization. A civilization may also include people who share in and identify with its culture, but who live in states dominated by members of another civilization. Civilizations usually have one or more places viewed by their members as the principal source or sources of the civilization's culture. These sources are often located within the core state or states of the civilization, that is, its most powerful and culturally central state or states.

In a multicivilizational world, there are core values which different ethnic and religious societies have in common. The constructive course is to accept diversity, and seek commonalities. A more inclusive Global Civilizational State can emerge gradually through the exploration and expansion of these commonalities.

Commonalities exist between Asia and the West. Whatever the degree to which humankind is divided, the world's major religions, Western Christianity, Orthodoxy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, also share key values in common. Peace in a multicivilizational world is the finding of those commonalities and so peoples in all civilizations should search for and attempt to expand the values, institutions, and practices they have in common with peoples of other civilizations.

In modern era, Western civilization, the West, is referred to the European-American civilization and America has become the land of freedom, equality, opportunity, the future, and is a distinct core-state civilization. Not so much ideologies, simply economics and politics now differentiate peoples of different civilizations. Nevertheless, cultures, ways of life, ways of doing things have been the most distinguishing characteristics. Those characteristics have been defined by religion, language, ancestry, history, communities, ethnic groups, customs, nations, and also by major levels of classification being civilizations.

Earth governance and management to build a Global Civilization based on global sustainability.

Building Global Communities for all Life and plants.

One of the most important factors in our lives is the inter-connection we have to others, to other countries. Through these connections you will be able to create changes for good on a global scale. Right now you can use your skills, your knowledge, your abilities, to realize how your strengths can help bring about the best kind of changes in the world by connecting with us in our aim to promote a world sustainable development on four major levels: the land, the richness of our land, our economic endeavours and the welfare of all our peoples. And certainly we need a stable and secure world. Global Community proposes that politics and Justice be without borders. Proper Earth governance has now become a necessity for the survival of all life.

Governance of the Earth will make the rule of arbitrary power--economic (WTO, FTAA, EU), political, or military (NATO)-- subjected to the rule of law within Global Community . Justice is for everyone and is everywhere, a universal constant. Justice is without borders.

Global Community has no intention of changing the status and privileges of state governments. In fact, state governments become primary members of Global Community. Global governance can only be effective within the framework of the criteria of Global Community citizenship.

Global Community was built from a grassroots process with a vision for humanity that is challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments, and has a vision of the people working together building a new civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations. Global cooperation brings people together for a common future for the good of all.

Earth governance does not imply a lost of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. A nation government exists within the framework of an effective Global Community protecting common global values and humanity heritage. Earth governance gives a new meaning to the notions of territoriality, and non-intervention in a state way of life, and it is about protecting the cultural heritage of a state. Diversity of cultural and ethnic groups is an important aspect of Earth governance.

Earth governance is a balance between the rights of states with rights of people, and the interests of nations with the interests of the Global Community, the human family, the global civil society.

Earth governance is about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of Global Community rather than the traditional context of a world of separate states.

Although Global Community ensures state governments that it will obey the principle of non-intervention in domestic affairs, it will also stand for the rights and interests of the people within individual states in which the security of people is extensively endangered. A global consensus to that effect will be agreed upon by all nation states.

We believe the world is at a turning point. We can no longer perceive ourselves as a People who could survive alone and a People who does not need anyone else. We belong and depend to a much larger group, that of Global Community , the human family. The 21st Century will see limitless links and interrelationships within Global Community.

Ever since the early 1990s, Global Community has researched and developed the concept of 'a global community'. It has since been made a part of the foundation of Global Community and is thought as the way of life of the future. The concept is also in the Statement of rights, responsibilities, and accountabilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to 'Global Community ', the human family.

That is, the statement is about to take a stand:

a) I am not just a woman, I am a person, I am citizen of a global community,

b) I am not just a man, I am a person, I am citizen of a global community,

c) We are responsible, accountable and equal persons in every way, and we will manage wisely our population and Earth, and

d) We are citizens of Global Community, the human family.

(Read about a few examples of how to apply the Statement ) We need to take this stand for the survival of our species.

The Statement includes:

A) Rights and responsiblitities of a person in 'a global community'

B) Rights and responsiblitities of a person in 'Global Community'

C) Rights and responsiblitities of 'a global community'

D) Rights and responsiblitities of 'Global Community'

The Statement was further developed into the now approved Global Citizens Rights, Responsibility and Accountability Act.

This Century is a new challenge. New standards, goals and objectives have to be defined. Firm universal guidelines are essentials in keeping the world healthy. Already we notice new ways of thinking being embraced, new behaviors and attitudes adopted. Global ethics are required to do business and deal with one another to sustain Earth. Global Community proposes to corporations that they take responsibility on behalf of society and people, and that they should pay more attention to human and Earth rights, working conditions and getting ride of corruption in the world of business and trade. We have developed a criteria, and we ask you to turn it into practice.

vv

Effective Earth governance requires a greater understanding of what it means to live in a more crowded, interdependent humanity with finite resources and more pollution threatening the global life-support systems.

A civilization is a complex human society, usually made up of different cities, with certain characteristics of cultural and technological development. In many parts of the world, early civilizations formed when people began coming together in urban settlements.

A civilization can also be defined as a complex culture with five significant characteristics: advanced cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and advanced technology. Advanced cities are an important feature of civilized life. Cities were actually the birthplaces of the first civilizations.

All civilizations have certain characteristics. These include: large population centers; monumental architecture and unique art styles; shared communication strategies; systems for administering territories; a complex division of labor; and the division of people into social and economic classes.

All world civilizations have values, solutions to handle issues, and a vision for survival as a species.

The UN Security Council seeks to address threats to international security. Its five permanent members, chosen in the wake of World War II, have veto power. The Security Council fosters negotiations, imposes sanctions, and authorizes the use of force, including the deployment of peacekeeping missions. Global Community and its Global Protection Agency will be asked to replace the UN to help our overpopulated world managed our ways relating to the production, buying, and selling of goods or services.

The UN has no military forces of its own, and Member States provide, on a voluntary basis, the military and police personnel required for each peacekeeping operation.

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 and committed to maintaining international peace and security; developing friendly relations among nations; promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.

We the Peoples, all Life on Earth, are claiming ownership of the planet as a birthright.
"Global Community is defined as being all that exits or occurs at any location at any time between the Ozone layer above and the core of the planet below. It is defined around a given territory, that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population, which is all life forms on Earth." By extension, the expression Global Community also includes the entire Universe, space and time, all matter, galaxies, dark matter, all particles and all unknown parts of the Universe yet to be discovered. Global Community also includes all Souls, SoulLife God, and that makes it different than just saying Global Community is the Universe ss.

This definition includes all people, all life on Earth and over the entire Universe. That makes Global Civilizational State the 21st century framework for Earth governance, and the only legitimate body with the power to make the laws of the land and to make the rules for the territory of the Earth.

A civilization is a complex human society, usually made up of different cities, with certain characteristics of cultural and technological development. In many parts of the world, early civilizations formed when people began coming together in urban settlements.

Knowing about how ancient people and societies dealt with issues in the past helps us to recognize, and be prepared for, dealing with our own issues both currently and in the future.

The most important characteristic for the development of a civilization is the presence of advanced cities because they were centers of trade, which established economies and allowed for further development of the civilizations.

The most important characteristic for the development of a Global Civilizational Community, or Multicivilizational Community, is the presence of advanced cities because they were centers of international trade, which established world economies and allowed for further development of the global civilizations, and established Global Peace and the Protection of the Global Life Support-systems.

Business and the environment: Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts, and Global Community ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Civilizational State proposes that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the pathway to global peace.

Global Civilization issues today.

Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely and global warming, overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity. Let us all protect the global life-support systems.

Obtaining your Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship (CCGCC) will help you to show the world your ways of doing business are best for Global Community. Governments should encourage enterprises to use the criteria both by legal and moral means. At first, the criteria should be adopted in key areas such as procurement, facilities management, investment management, and human resources. Corporations want to be seen as good corporate leaders and have a stronger form of accountability. Business and trade will prosper after stronger common bonds and values have been established. Adopting the criteria will have a beneficial impact on future returns, and share price performance.

Obtaining the CCGCC will help businesses to be part of the solution to the challenges of globalisation. In this way, the private sector in partnership with the civil society can help realize a vision: allowing a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.

Our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global Life-support systems. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for a sound Global Civilizational State leadership.

Now Global Community claims that all Lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all Lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of all Lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western world (and in contrast with certain Eastern traditions) Lifeforms other than human beings have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created "animals" for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens must have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other Lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.

By 2100, the United Nations Population Division (UNPD) projects the human population will swell to as many as 11.3 billion people. The world human population reached one billion by 1804 and has increased seven-fold in the 200 years since. If humans take over all of Earth’s living surface, there will be no room to provide for itself, let alone room for any other living plant or animal populations.

Human population will never reach that point. If human populations continue to balloon unabated, it will essentially eradicate itself with disease, starvation, harmful and detrimental living conditions and psychological deterioration.

With so many people taking so much land that also is needed for biodiversity, agriculture and food production, transportation, healthy living and natural habitats, the question necessarily becomes, “What is going to give?”

In this way, the human species is its own enemy, perhaps innocently, but an enemy nonetheless. Zero Population Growth is attainable and is even projected as early as 2150, but we just don’t know.

Earth is finite. Earth’s resources are finite. So, populations cannot be infinite; however, the global population continues to grow, taking more and more land, using up more and more resources, demanding more and more energy and housing, and creating more and more humans.

Clearly the environmental challenges facing humanity in this century and beyond would be less difficult in a world with slower population growth or none at all.

Population is a critical variable influencing the availability of each of the natural resources considered here. And access to family planning services is a critical variable influencing population. Use of family planning contributes powerfully to lower fertility, later childbearing, and slower population growth. Yet policymakers, environmentalists and the general public remain largely unaware of the growing interest of young people throughout the world in delaying pregnancies and planning their families. In greater proportions than ever, girls want to go to school and to college, and women want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country to obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to end world population growth in the new century.

Reproductive health services can help. Voluntary family planning and other reproductive health services can help couples avert high-risk pregnancies, prevent unwanted childbearing and abortion, and avoid diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, that can lead to death, disability, and infertility.

Comprehensive reproductive health services, especially care in pregnancy and childbirth and for sexually transmitted infections, are key to preventing disability and death and improving women's health. Better access to emergency care during childbirth and safe abortion services would also contribute significantly to lower maternal death rates. Family planning diminishes risks associated with frequent childbearing and helps reduce reliance on abortion.

An important obstacle to couple negotiation of contraceptive use and protection from STDs including HIV is that most women have unequal access to resources and decision-making. Yet women are more vulnerable to the consequences of unplanned pregnancies and often HIV/STI's. For these reasons, countering the prevailing gender stereotypes that increase risky behaviors and decrease couple communication is a key strategy for promoting good reproductive health.

Individuals, too, can help bring about a world that is more secure and more supportive of life, health and happiness. They can educate themselves on population dynamics, consumption patterns and the impact of these forces on natural resources and the environment. They can be socially, politically and culturally active to elevate the issues they care about. They can become more environmentally responsible in their purchasing decisions and their use of energy and natural resources. And individuals and couples can consider the impacts of their reproductive decisions on their communities and the world as a whole.

Population dynamics are among the primary underlying causes of forest decline. Poverty, corruption, inequitable access to land and wasteful consumption practices also influence the decisions of governments, corporations and individuals to cut and clear forests. The interaction of these forces is most evident in areas such as South Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty, rapid population growth and weak institutions contribute to forest loss and severe environmental degradation.

The dominant force in forest loss is growth in the demand for farmland. Subsistence agriculture is the principal cause of forest loss in Africa, Asia and much of Latin America. Slash-and-burn farming and other traditional techniques were sustainable for centuries when population densities were lower. Today they are a major factor, along with the expansion of commercial farms and livestock grazing areas, in the permanent conversion of wooded land to agriculture. The need to increase food production is expected to accelerate the forest-to-farmland cycle, especially in countries where alternatives for meeting this demand are limited.

A typical American uses 15 times as much lumber and paper as a resident of a developing country. Reducing wood consumption in the industrialized world is unlikely to stop forest loss in developing countries however, since most of the wood consumed comes from trees in the industrialized countries themselves. Nevertheless, the consumption model offered to the rest of the world threatens accelerated forest loss as both populations and economies grow in developing countries.

Population policies based on human development and the Scale of Global Rights offer the greatest hope for the future of forests. This is not an argument for population "control" but for the social investments that allow couples to choose when to have children and how many to have. Programs linking conservation activities with family planning services show promise for achieving both the sustainable use of forests and greater acceptance of reproductive health services.

Sustainable wood consumption is essential for the future of forests. Individuals and institutions alike should promote the ecologically sound and socially responsible use of forest products. Eco-labeling, or the environmental certification of wood products, could speed the adoption of more sustainable forestry practices. Consumer demand for green-certified paper and other wood products is an important complement to recycling and other efforts to reduce wood consumption.

Global Civilizational State: our future generations may be contrasted with current and past generations, and evoked in order to encourage thinking about intergenerational equity. The recognition of rights of future generations is the right to achieve a sustainable level of development and the right to be able to utilise natural resources. The Scale of Global Rights does answer this thinking.

It is impossible within the scope of this paper to describe, compare, and evaluate all past and present civilizations, and conclude that "A successful Global Civilizational State for all Life" would have the following distinguishing characteristics. Nevertheless, let us see what can be found within the context of today civilizations, what are possible surviving solutions for life on Earth, and even attempt to promote a system of global governance consisting of a more meaningful world union in the form of nine or more Global Governments and Global Parliament.

Human history stretches through generations, and is the history of civilizations. Civilization and culture both refer to the overall way of life of a people, and involve the values, beliefs, norms, institutions, social structures, and modes of thinking to which successive generations in a given society. The composition and shapes of civilizations change over time, the cultures of peoples interact and overlap. A short list of values humans have developed over time to survive as a species are shown here.

ee

If the term civilization is elevated to what is common to humanity as a whole then the largest cultural groupings of people would be a single Global Civilizational State, that is a variety of cultures, of peoples, of religious worlds, of historical traditions, and of historically formed attitudes.

People have shared a few fundamental values and institutions throughout history, which may explain some constants in human behavior but it cannot explain history, which consists of changes in human behavior.

The development and evolution of the West are in large part the factors which enabled the West to take the lead in modernizing itself and non-Western societies. These factors were truly concepts, practices, and institutions have been more prevalent in the West than in non-Western civilizations. Over time, characteristics of Western civilization have been defined by religion and moral principles, human rights, language, ancestry, history, ethnic groups, customs and laws, and also by maintaining a meaningful independent existence, and ways of life.

America is the distinct core-state civilization of the West. Inevitably, the fate of the United States within the West grouping of states depends upon Americans asserting strongly once more their commitment to Western civilization and today, their commitment to the Global Civilizational State which is seen by global citizens as the guardian, custodian and embodiment of Western civilization.

The effect of the expansion of the West has promoted both the modernization and the Westernization of non-Western societies. However modernization does not necessarily mean Westernization. Non-Western societies can modernize and have modernized without abandoning their own cultures and adopting wholesale Western values, institutions, and practices. In short, modernization has meant a great victory and achievement of Global Civilizational State on Earth.

Now, let us have a more specific definition and understanding of non-Western civilizations. Non-Western societies, such as those in East Asia, are expanding their economic wealth, political strength, military power, claiming their own cultural values and letting go those constrained on them by the West. Nations with cultural similarities cooperate economically and politically. For instance, East Asian economic success has its primary source in East Asian culture. Power has shifted from the predominant West to non-Western civilizations, and global politics has become multipolar and multicivilizational.

For China, unity is its first priority. The Chinese state enjoys a very different kind of relationship with society compared with the Western state. It enjoys much greater natural authority, legitimacy and respect, even though not a single vote is cast for the government. The reason is that the state is seen by the Chinese people as the guardian, custodian and embodiment of their civilization. The duty of the state is to protect its unity. The legitimacy of the state therefore lies deep in Chinese history. This is utterly different from how the state is seen by Western societies.

As a modern state, China accepts the concept of the sovereign equality of states and prevailing conceptions of human rights. China is unique due to the many traditions and features originating from its civilization. This is also the key conceptual difference between a civilizational state and a civilization-state. The civilizational state represents an amalgamation of an old civilization and a modern nation-state. On the other hand, a civilization-state reflects the tension between the two. As a civilizational state, China is both old and young, both traditional and modern, both Chinese and global. At least eight features can be derived from the civilizational state of China: 1) a very large population, 2) a vast territoty, 3) very long traditions, 4) a unique language, 5) richest cultural heritages, 6) a political system with Chinese characteristics, 7) a distinctive society, 8) and a unique way of running an economy.

Within China development model, the main features of the civilizational state (population, territory, tradition and culture) all constitute China's greatest strengths. China has the richest human resources and potentially the largest consumer market; China has an unparalleled geopolitical and geoeconomic status; China has its tradition of independent thinking, and has the richest cultural resources in the world. China is a civilizational state generating its own standards and values and making unique contributions to the world civilizations. China's civilizational state has a strong capability to draw on the strengths of other nations while maintaining its own identity. The Chinese people have a deep respect of Nature and have applied the secular application of ethics and political philosophy to social, economic, and political governance. Chinese culture is more inclusive than exclusive, within the broad conceptual framework of the Confucian idea of 'unity in diversity". The greatest wisdom of a civilizational state is its long tradition of seeking common ground while differences are set apart, and this wisdom is first reflected in the Chinese language.

Over ancient time to this day, morality in society made its way into our ways of doing business. So the set of behaviors that constitute Global Civilizational State ethic for a business also evolved largely because they provided possible survival benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, peoples evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans developed truly moral, altruistic instincts.

When looking across cultures of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures, the major ones include:

wisdom, knowledge, courage, justice, love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence.

These virtues were not always incorporated into the ways of doing business because the 1% super rich businesses became corrupted, greedy, no longer in line with humanity's survival on the planet, and more interested in keeping most of the wealth, resources and power for themselves keeping the remaining 99% of the world population in poverty. But today, Global Civilizational State incorporates these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics.

Global Civilizational State ethics for a business are about how we treat others and a commitment to respect every person humanely and with dignity. For this process to work, global citizens learn to forgive, be patient and compassionate, promote acceptance, open theirs hearts to one another, and practice a culture of solidarity and cooperation. Let go narrow differences between us all for the greater good of humanity and future generations.

Economic and political power must be used as a service to humanity instead of misusing it in ruthless battles for domination. Global Community faith can help to develop a spirit of compassion with those who suffer, with special care for the children, the aged, the poor, the disabled, and the refugees.

We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and to grow strong caring communities in which we get more of our human satisfaction from caring relationships and less from material goods. We need to reclaim the ideal of being a democratic middle-class people without extremes of wealth and poverty. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. This means letting go a sense of ourselves as consumption machines. We need a Global Civilizational State leadership for all of humanity. We all could learn from the successful ways of China, the chinese leadership governing his or her people. The daily problems they have to overcome issues with a population higher than 1.5 billion people, all with different ways of doing things, cultural and religious included.

The increased interaction among peoples which includes trade, investment, tourism, media, electronic communication, is generating a common world culture. Improvements in transportation and communications technology have indeed made it easier and cheaper to move money, goods, people, knowledge, ideas, and images around the world. By increasing trade globally is unlikely to ease international tensions or promote greater international stability. Economic interdependence fosters peace only when states expect that high trade levels will continue into the foreseeable future, otherwise war is likely to result.

Often people define their identity by what they are not. As increased communications, trade, and travel multiply the interactions among civilizations, people increasingly accord greater relevance to their civilizational identity. In an increasingly globalized world characterized by historically exceptional degrees of civilizational, societal, and other modes of interdependence and widespread consciousness, there is an exacerbation of civilizational, societal, and ethnic self-consciousness. The global religious revival, the return of the sacred, is a response to people's perception of the world as a single place, Earth, and Global Community.

Today the evidence-based argument for the appearance of a Global Civilizational State is really the result of the broad processes of modernization that have been going on since the eighteenth century. Modernization involves industrialization, urbanization, increasing levels of literacy, education, wealth, social mobilization, and more complex and diversified occupational structures. It is a product of the tremendous expansion of scientific and engineering knowledge beginning in the eighteenth century that made it possible for humans to control and shape their environment in totally unprecedented ways. Modernization is a revolutionary process comparable only to the shift from primitive to civilized societies that is, the appearance and evolution of Global Civilizational State.

In consequence of globalization, the new economic and political distribution of power around the world has become very different then we were used to. It has become very fluid, in perpetual motion and affected by global markets. Giant new markets are forming all over the world. Competition is hardening. National economies can no longer insure or guarantee rights of possession on any property. National borders no longer mean protection, security, cultural boundaries, resources ownership, political and economic control.

Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely and global warming, overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity.

Today, for life survival on our planet, a distinction must be made in the developed countries between necessary and limitless consumption, between socially beneficial and non-beneficial uses of property, between justified and unjustified uses of natural resources, and between a profit-only and a socially beneficial and ecologically oriented market economy. The lives of all lifeforms and plants on our planet deserve protection, preservation, and care. Global Community disapproves of the limitless exploitation of the natural foundations of life, the relentless destruction of the biosphere, and the militarization of the space within and above the Earth's atmosphere. Global citizens must live in harmony with nature on and above the Earth's surface.

The life extinction crisis on Earth is an environmental issue and also a social justice issue, one that is linked to long histories of capitalist domination over people, other life forms, and plants. The extinction crisis needs to be seen as a key element in contemporary struggles against accumulation by dispossession. This crisis, in other words, ought to be a key issue in the fight for climate justice. The 1% people have as much wealth as half the world's population, and are controlling all economies on the planet. They stand behind an economic system based on capitalism that has institutionalized a global ignorance, in which producers and consumers cannot know or care about one another, and in which the histories of all products will be lost.

It is now increasingly evident that only by sharing the world's natural resources more equitably and sustainably will we be able to address both the ecological and social crisis we face as Global Civilizational State.

The combined effects of aggressive marketing, advertising, and planned product obsolescence mean that the American consumer’s oversized footprint is largely a consequence and reflection of the global power of Transnational Corporations(TNCs), and more specifically corporate America. Global warming and climate change denialism requires shutting one’s eyes to obvious realities when the truth is that the Earth is warmer than it has been in 120,000 years. In that sense, it is perhaps more accurate to speak of corporate ecological footprints rather than the footprints of nations or individuals. Globalization has meant the distancing of cause and effect, source and sink, so that the pollution and human exploitation caused in the production and transport of goods has remained invisible and opaque to consumers.

How can further troubles not come into being when a vicious globalized capitalism system is in existence for which maximal profits, not people and their needs, is always the overriding goal? The global socioeconomic system of capitalism is forcing us to work harder to surpass previous consumption and population numbers until we have devoured everything that maintains life, ending up with a polluted, lifeless, and scorched planet.

Although the yearning for peace is deep-seated, it has never been achieved during civilisation due to its competitive nature. If we keep capitalism, the ultimate in competitiveness, it will finish us. Peace can’t be attained with military force; one can’t fight for peace or for cooperation. Peace is now possible because we have to have it to survive. People have the intellectual and the emotional ability to work out the multitude of changes to enable us to be fully social and survive, if it’s our goal.

In a multicivilizational world, there are core values which different ethnic and religious societies have in common. The constructive course is to renounce global culture, accept diversity, and seek commonalities. Commonalities exist between Asia and the West. Whatever the degree to which humankind is divided, the world's major religions, Western Christianity, Orthodoxy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, also share key values in common. A more inclusive Global Civilizational State can emerge gradually through the exploration and expansion of these commonalities. Peace in a multicivilizational world is the finding of those commonalities and so peoples in all civilizations should search for and attempt to expand the values, institutions, and practices they have in common with peoples of other civilizations.

What would be the shape and fundamental goals of an expansive anti-capitalist movement against extinction and for Environmental Justice? It would have to commence with open recognition by the developed nations of the long history of ecocide.Such an admission would lead to a consequent recognition of the biodiversity debt owed by the wealthy nations of the global North to the South. Building on the demands articulated by the climate justice movement, the anti-capitalist conservation movement must demand the repayment of this biodiversity debt. When we study the human behaviour, specially the people of the European Union, and people living closely to the EU, three fundamental types of behaviour can be distinguished: the purely practical, the theoretical-practical, and the purely theoretical.

These three types of behaviour have three different reasons: the first a determining reason, the second a motivating reason, and the third a supporting reason. Over the past decades and centuries, they have behaved as if the world belongs to them, and were borned to lead the world. They fought one another and/or got together to show they were are not afraid to be the one who wins a country in a war, subdues or subjugates a people, or overcomes an adversary. They have been constantly at war. And even Adolf Hitler has showed the perfect behaviour and had no respect for diplomacy. He had no respect to keep good relations between the governments of different countries. He had no skill in dealing with others and governments without causing conflicts and wars.

One of the most important – but often forgotten – elements of customer experience is that it’s all about human beings. Customers are human beings, employees are human beings, and executives are human beings. So to improve customer experience, you need to first understand and embrace how people actually think and behave.

As Moscow's war in Ukraine rages on, with deadly shelling on cities along the front lines and more clashes in hot spots in southern Ukraine, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, showed no need to use diplomacy to save his country from being detroyed and his citizens from being killed. NATO and the USA, along with the EU, are expected to help as if wars was the way to solve problems. This is the kind of behaviour these people from the EU have been using between themselves over the past centuries. War is the answer to their problems.

When intelligent peoples study global problems, the best solutions to problems are not the destruction of the environment. Climate change has caused increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks. In turn, these changes have made wildfires more numerous and severe. The warming climate has also caused a decline in water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, and triggered heat-related health impacts in cities.

Intriguingly, piranhas bark or grunt when they feel defensive and are afraid of humans like other small fish. Although these sea creatures rarely attack humans, they become more aggressive and bite when food is scarce, and waters are low in dry seasons. They will attack humans. And that is what the people from the EU nations are doing.

By the conventional definition, there are 44 sovereign states or nations in Europe. Not included are several countries namely Turkey, which occupies only a small part of East Thrace on the European Balkan Peninsula. Over the past centuries, all of the European nations have been fighting each other or fighting with each other. Diplomacy was never a part of their DNA. They would rather behave like Piranhas. They get together to either fight one another or fight foreigners. Again like Piranhas do.

A legally imposed contraction of the fossil energy supply and a rapid global conversion to renewable energy is a necessary step toward saving our world, Earth. So what should society do to avoid the worst impacts of climate change? Capitalism is based on ceaseless compound growth that is destroying ecosystems the world over, the goal in the rich nations of the global North must be to overturn our present expansionary system by fostering de-growth. Most importantly, nations that have benefited from burning fossil fuels must radically cut their carbon emissions in order to stem the lurch towards runaway climate chaos that endangers the vast majority of current terrestrial forms of life.

To become great again, the US parlayed the world’s largest national debt, its trade deficit, budget deficit, capital account deficit and savings rate deficit, into a position in the global driver seat through the dollar remaining global hub currency.  Unemployment in the USA is very low and the economy seems great only because the USA Government is having a 21 trillion dollars debt to create jobs and subsidize its industrial complex, especially its corporate military industry which actually employs more than half of America's population. This 21 trillion dollars is mostly obtained from China and handed over to the USA Federal Reserve to help America create jobs in America. Naturally, the more the dollar was used in the world, the more America had the power to spend on the military. For the US, paying a bill of 6 trillion dollars (this is the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) has been effortless, and this constitutes an unparalleled advantage over countries like China and Russia whose military spending in comparison is a fifth and a tenth respectively. 

The main source of economic reliability in America was transferred over time from gold to dollars, specifically to US treasury bills. This major shift allowed the Federal Reserve to print dollars practically without limit (as seen in recent years with interests rates for borrowing money from the FED at around 0%), well aware that the demand for dollars would never cease, this also keeping alive huge sectors of private and public enterprises such as the coal industry, fracking industry, car manufacturing, food and farming industries, and most importantly the military industry which has always giving jobs to more than half of America's population. No wonder President Trump, and several USA Presidents before him, have been claiming the lowest unemployment rate because more than half of America population works for the war industry, the industry that has produced most of the greenhouse gases globally at the expenses of the global life-support systems. This set a course for a global economic system based on financial instruments like derivatives and other securities instead of real, tangible goods like gold. In doing this for its own benefit, the US has created the conditions for a new financial bubble that could bring down the entire world economy when it bursts.

The United States found itself in the enviable position of being able to print pieces of paper (simply IOU’s) without any gold backing and then exchange them for real goods from other nations.  This economic arrangement has allowed America to achieve an unparalleled strategic advantage over its geopolitical opponents (initially the USSR, now Russia and China), namely, a practically unlimited dollar spending capacity even as it accumulates an astronomical public debt (over 21 trillion dollars). The destabilizing factor for the global economy has been America's ability to accumulate enormous amounts of public debt without having to worry about the consequences or even of any possible mistrust international markets may have for the dollar. Countries simply needed dollars for trade and bought US treasures to diversify their financial assets. 

The primary goal of the developed nations must be to overturn the present expansionary economic system based on capitalism by fostering de-growth and creating steady state societies founded on principles of equality and environmental justice.

Most importantly, nations that have benefited from burning fossil fuels must radically cut their carbon emissions in order to stop the climate chaos that endangers the vast majority of current terrestrial forms of life.

Let us now define what economic system should be used to govern our planet. What would be best is a "democratic socialism plus". The "plus" means added essential elements for governing sustainably. For instance, people would have free health care, free education at all levels, and employment for everyone. People would control and manage natural resources at all stages: exploration, production, transportation, manufacturing and distribution. A Global Trade and Resource Ministry would be formed to look after the management of naturel resources worlwide.

"Democratic socialism plus" advocates that the control and management of natural resources be under the control of the people. The 1 % super rich people worldwide who thrive within capitalism, must be overthrown. This new way of governing can be achieve through legitimate democratic means by voting in a party that represents this way of governing. "Democratic socialism plus" implies public owership, not private ownership of natural resources.

Because of the limited quantities of Earth resources to be made available for this generation and the next ones, and because of environmental, climate change, and world population concerns, there is a need to manage the entire process of using Earth natural resources. And we all know that the amount of oil left in the ground in the world has already passed its peak quantity. So why waste the oil on doing things we know are nothing but a waste of energy and often used for destruction and certainly will shorten the life span of the next generations. A Global Trade and Resources Ministry is needed to look after the management of Earth resources and trade at all stages: exploration, production, transportation, manufacturing and distribution.

The quality of Earth governance is reflected in each local community worldwide. Global Community will show leadership by creating a global civil ethic within our ways of life. Global Constitution describes all values needed for good global governance: mutual respect, tolerance, respect for life, justice for all everywhere, integrity, and caring. The Scale of global Rights has become an inner truth and the benchmark of the millennium in how everyone sees all those values.

Earth environmental governance can only be achieved successfully within the larger context of sustainable developent and Earth management. All aspects are inter-related and affect one another. A healthy environment is essential to long term prosperity and well-being of Global Community citizens. That demands a high level of ecological protection. This is the 'raison d'etre' of the Scale of Global Rights.

Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as human beings: to live, eat, drink fresh water, breath clean air, and have shelter. These rights are separate categories than ecological rights, the right of the greatest number of people, economic rights, social rights, cultural rights and religious rights. Ecological and primordial human rights are the only rights that have existed unchanged throughout the evolutionary origin of our species. Any major change would have threatened our very existence. All other human rights listed here are rights created by human beings and can be changed depending of new circumstances; they are not stagnant but are rather flexible and adaptive, and they can evolve. Ecological and primordial human rights of this generation and of future generations are therefore much more important than any other human rights existing now and in the future.

In this way the Scale of Global Rights gives us a sense of direction for future planning and managing of the Earth. Earth management is now well defined and becomes a goal to achieve. We no longer waste energy and resources in things that are absolutely unimportant. It has also become a necessity of establishing the Global Trade and Resources Ministry that will be assessing, compiling, managing and protecting Earth resources, and the Earth Court of Justice prosecuting cases involving crimes related to the relentless misused of the Earth resources.

It's time for us to come to terms with reality. We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and fewer material goods. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. The world is in global crisis and a planetary state of emergency. We are exploiting our natural resources, minerals and fuels faster than we are gaining access to alternative sources. We are polluting the natural environment faster than the environment can regenerate itself to reach the level suitable for human needs. We are changing the global climate dangerously. Our attitude and way of life show a moral degradation toward the existing forms of life on the planet. It's time for us to protect what is left to protect: life itself on Earth. This was the reason for the creation of a planetary biodiversity zone.

Global Civilizational State has shown the benefits of biodiversity to humanity and hope this approach will motivate others to help create the zone.

The stewardship of the ecological base has to be given priority before the fulfilment of various economic and social wishes. All families need shelter, food, language, body of knowledge, certain skills, a source of income. Security of the home is an important aspect for any family and Global Civilizational State it belongs to. Primordial human needs raise the question of interacting universal responsibilities. In terms of parenthood, parents must raised their children mentally and physically healthy. It is a responsibility to do so. Which also means each local community must have an educational system to help parents raise the child. On the Scale of Global Rights primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems and of ecological rights are on top of the Scale. They are the most important aspects on the Scale.

As global crises of all sorts further intensify, the Global Community may have no alternative but to show solidarity and help each other out of crises, and such solidarity can only be built on the basis of harmony and moderation, and on respecting the political and cultural diversity of this troubled world. A successful Global Civilizational State for all life on Earth is on the horizon. Let us lead the world toward a Global Civilizational State.

Yet, the main reason that the whole mess will be curbed is a simple one: infinite growth, whether economic growth or population growth, cannot continue indefinitely. Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist. Accordingly, one can envision that a crash is coming. In large measure, it's because environmental tipping points are already on the way and, for those people in the worst locations for the collapse -- the desperation, conflicts and chaos will likely be horrific in scale and ferocity.

How could they not be when our governments worldwide and the status quo do not encourage our transitioning to a steady state economy, business based on regionalized commerce and a cooperative inclusive economic arrangement rather than out of control global competition, "democratic socialism plus" rather than capitalism? How can further troubles not come into being when a vicious globalized capitalism system is in existence for which maximal profits, not people and their needs, is always the overriding goal? Despite its desirably from many standpoints, how can an alternative scheme be put in place when it bumps up against the prevailing paradigm and the corporatists -- the powerful über-elites that control the gargantuan transnational companies and our fawning government toadies?

Earth has long been waiting for a truly global governing body based on universal values, global rights, global concepts and democracy. We might as well start this new way of doing things creating process now, there is no longer any reason to wait. But then Global Civilizational State is already here. As never before in history, common destiny beckons us to seek a new beginning. It requires a new sense of global interdependence and universal responsibility. We must develop and apply the vision of a sustainable way of life locally, nationally, regionally, globally, and within ourselves throughout life. Our cultural diversity is a precious heritage and different cultures will find their own distinctive ways to realize the vision.

Global Civilizational State has now a Vision of the Earth in Year 2024 and a sense of direction. Global Civilizational State embarks on a new path in history, the inevitability of global societies living, sharing, and creating symbiotical relationships interactively is, beyond doubt, that which we must confront. Our creativity today may influence tomorrow's socio-economic strategies and contribute to the evolution of human societies - an evolution directed towards a global partnership and cooperation with each other for survival.

In order to build a sustainable global community, each individual, each local community, and national governments of the world must initiate their commitment to Global Civilizational State. Global Civilizational State was defined as a social, and political movement in the sense of having a broad organizational structure and an ideology aimed at governing. The environmental movement, within Global Civilizational State, expresses the concerns of groups of people regarding depletion of water, clean air, climate change aspects, degradation of land and other changes in ecosystems affecting traditional patterns of natural resources exploitation . Global Civilizational State has taken the role of helping these groups in protecting and managing the environment by coordinating their efforts.

Global Civilizational State is aware that religious beliefs, traditional customs and standards could burden the sustainability of all life on Earth. They could burden Earth society or any society forever, and holds individuals in a straitjacket. We cannot accept that. No one can! There are choices to be made, and we must make them. Cultures can develop and can go on developing. Even religious beliefs may evolve. We are living now, and we are able to create these changes. We are at least as bright, most certainly brighter, than the people who were living thousand of years ago.

Global Civilizational State opposes environmental, economic, population and military warfares. Global Civilizational State was first to oppose any type of invasion of a people by another people. An invasion is either an environmental, economic, population or military offensive in which large numbers of combatants of one geopolitical entity aggressively enter territory owned by another such entity, generally with the objective of either conquering; liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory; forcing the partition of a country; altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government; or a combination thereof.

An invasion can be the cause of a war, be a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in itself. Due to the large scale of the operations associated with invasions, they are usually strategic in planning and execution. Global Civilizational State has been witnessing such different types of walfares for decades. And now is time to stop all types of invasion no matter what they maybe.

Overpopulation worlwide is a crisis. Everyone is responsible and are required now by Global Civilizational State to follow Global Law as defined and developed by Global Community.

Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth. Humanity needs to slow down significantly world population. This 21st century is very crucial for humanity as it will determine our survival or not as a species and, consequently, the survival of the next generations. It is now increasingly evident that only by sharing the world's natural resources more equitably and sustainably will we be able to address both the ecological and social crisis we face as Global Civilizational State. This does not imply that a section of the world population whose idea of survival is to have many children and Global Community would see that they are given all social services needed for survival.

No! There are global laws concerning procreation and everyone is required not to have more than 1.3 children per family in a given population. Global population warfare is not permitted, much like military and economic warfares in the world today. All other life species than human are also part of Global Community and their population will also be protected for their own survival. 

Population warfare definition makes use of a very high fertility rate to conquer a nation, and that could mean as many as or more than 2.11 children per family. It is a form of cultural and/or religious aggression and invasion by having a much too high number of new born babies. For instance, there has been a rapid increase in population among Muslims to the extent that in fifty years all of Europe and North America are expected to be mostly Islamic. The influx of Latino immigration into the western states of the USA will also have the effect of a population warfare.

Population warfare Population warfare: animation. Earth governance at its best vs at its worst.

Moratorium on world population and the fertility rate, and ending population warfare.  Moratorium on world population and the fertility rate and ending population warfare

Clearly the environmental challenges facing humanity in this century and beyond would be less difficult in a world with slower population growth or none at all.

Population is a critical variable influencing the availability of each of the natural resources considered here. And access to family planning services is a critical variable influencing population. Use of family planning contributes powerfully to lower fertility, later childbearing, and slower population growth. Yet policymakers, environmentalists and the general public remain largely unaware of the growing interest of young people throughout the world in delaying pregnancies and planning their families. In greater proportions than ever, girls want to go to school and to college, and women want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country to obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to end world population growth in the new century.

Ministry of Global Peace in government

Over the past decades we have shown that peace in the world and the survival and protection of all life on our planet go hand in hand. Asking for peace in the world means doing whatever is necessary to protect life on our planet. Protecting life implies bringing about the event of peace in the world. Let our time be a time remembered for a new respect for life, our determination to achieve sustainability, and our need for global justice and peace.

Our Global Peace Mouvement is about the courage to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and global sustainability being some of them.

Soul of all Life said in Global Peace Earth "Soul of all Life teaching about Peace: Introduction"

Peace is being who you are without fear. It is the "being who you are" who must be taught a value based on principles to live by. Only principles described in Global Law are necessary and required to attain Peace in the world.

Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Scale of Global Rights.

In the context of the global civilization of the 3rd Millennium, we have defined that any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour.The question is how can we improve the political symbiotical relationship to fulfill the fundamental criteria? Global Community promotes the values and principles to achieve the fundamental criteria and that requires the promoting and establishment of: global community ethics, mutual respect, respect for life, basic liberties, justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility and accountability.

Other symbiotical relationships may be based on common concerns and issues such as: the environment, peace, justice, women's rights, human and Earth rights, and many more. There is a whole spectrum of possible symbiotical relationships.

Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth.

Certainly it is better to seek an economic relationship with another nation we can trust than with a hundred nations we have no control on and everyone of those nations has a say in the governing of our nation, its environment and social structure.

The best way and solution for any nation is to follow the Scale of Global Rights. Right on top of the scale are the ecological rights, the global life-support systems, and the primordial human rights of this generation and of the next generations.

Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces,communities, nations, and businesses.

Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces,communities, nations, and businesses. We are alsoproposing the formation of a political symbiotical relationship between state and global civil society. A similar relationship alreadyexists between the people of Global Community, also known as the human family, the global civil society.

Global Community ethics offer fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards. You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all human beings regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color or religion. Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights.

To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance. The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. So now Global Community ethics includes a process based on Scale of Global Rights. Global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. Global Community ethical grounds are practical, real, and applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.

Global Civilizational State: the application of the Scale of Global Rights to the most important global issues threatening humanity's survival worldwide.

Let us lead the world toward Global Civilizational State for education, Justice, protection of life on Earth, and for new ways of doing business and trade, in global development, and in the management of global resources.

A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.

A global symbiotical relationship is created between Nations and Global Parliament for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development. This is the basic concept that is allowing us to group willing Member Nations from different parts of the world. A typical example is the Global Government of North America (GGNA) . Member Nations of these global governments have not yet been selected. Each Nation Government needs to go through the process of a referendum asking people if they wish to be a part of a Global Government, and which is it they wish to be part of. For instance, Canada may wish to be part of the Global Government of South America. A referendum in Canada would determine the Global Government the people of Canada wish to belong to. Global Parliament does not force anyone to belong in any specific Global Government.

The Global Government of North America (GCNA) Emergency, Rescue and Relief Centre is vigilant and quick in helping all life in need of help. For the protection of those global communities we will need to create a biodiversity zone in the North by way of Earth rights and taxation of natural resources. Global Community is defined around a given territory, that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population, which is Global Community .

There is a need to develop a voting system ff to elect representatives to form a democratically elected Earth Government. Every person in the world can claim the birth right of electing a democratic government to manage Earth: the rights to vote and elect representatives to form the Earth Government. They are our human rights! Each and everyone of us on Earth was born free and equal in dignity and rights. Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms is one of the characteristics of a democracy. The typical fundamental freedoms of a democracy (freedom of expression, thought, assembly, and association) are themselves part of human rights. These freedoms can exist everywhere. Democracy is a political system based on the participation of the people. It foresees the separation of powers among the judiciary, the legislative and the executive authorities, as well as free and regular elections.

(b)     universal health care, publicly supported,

(c)     education for all based upon individual capability,

(d)     creative/productive employment for every global community citizen, and

(e)     post-retirement security.

This effort will lead over time to an escalation of human values and symbiotical relationships transcending money centered economics.

Worldwide, infectious diseases are the leading cause of death in children and adolescents and one of the top three causes of death in adults, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). One estimate puts the number of identified infectious diseases at 100,000 worldwide. While there are cures and treatments for most diseases we know of, most deaths occur because such remedies are not available to populations with the greatest needs.

Most diseases are contained within the regions where they originate, but there have been numerous pandemics – infectious diseases that spread throughout multiple populations and across multiple regions – that have caused global human health concerns.

But it is the really super potent diseases that we have yet to discover – or strains of known diseases that can rapidly spread throughout all populations and can be transmitted by air, water and food – that would have a devastating impact on humans and all life as we know it. Covid-19 has its variants that could well over-power the vaccines made for its original strains. But there are more virulent threats that could make Covid-19 seem like a mere common cold.

Take superbugs, for instance, strains of bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics and known effective treatments. There is also the zika virus for which the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has declared no vaccine or preventative drug is available to treat it. All these diseases are easily transmitted throughout human populations and can easily mutate into massive strains and impact significantly large populations of humans.

Then there are the diseases which are in the evolutionary stage and can emerge at any time for which humans may have no answer. Humans are already in protect mode with regard to the world’s deadliest diseases, and we attempt to prepare for any eventuality, spending billions of dollars each year on cures, treatments and preventive research. But, as the saying goes, we are only human.

This issue is usually listed as the number one environmental issue of all. And for good, solid reasons. Our human population trends away from sustainability and continues to place strains on systems and resources that people depend on to live healthy lives and survive.

Global Community is calling for the immediate formation of the Earth Ministry of Health. The globalization of trade, the extensive movement of people all over the world, the increase of poverty and diseases in developing countries and all over the world, have caused pathogens and exotic diseases to migrate over enormous distances and now, are an increasing threat to local ecosystems and communities, economies and health of every human being and all life.

Global Community is calling this threat of the upmost importance and must be dealt with immediately by every nation. We must manage health in the world. We are calling for the immediate creation of the Earth Ministry of Health. The Earth Ministry of Health is needed to reduce the threat of new and reemerging diseases and immune micro-organisms. SAR is certainly a new emerging global threat and must be managed before it becomes widespread. There are several factors indicating the need for new global changes in the area of health:


* larger populations of mal-nourished and undereducated people living in substandard housing, unhealthy environmental conditions and inadequate health services, and poor water supply and sanitation
* rapid increase in international air travel
* globalization of trade
* lowering of standards in the production, handling, and processing of food have heightened the risk of food-borne diseases
* environmental factors and activities such as deforestation, conflict, tourism and migration into remote habitats have increased exposure to disease

Global Community is asking nation governments to give their support for the network of collaborating laboratories managed by the World Health Organization (WHO). We are proposing to expand WHO's mandate to include:

* a global surveillance system
* an emergency section capable of responding to outbreaks of infectious disease anywhere in the world
* a more efficient vaccines program
* research into advanced-generations of antibiotics * help governments put in place policies to improve the management of medical and public health resources, and to monitor these policies.

* AIDS awareness programs have to become far more aggressive. AIDS is the leading cause of death in the sub-Saharan Africa and is now spreading rapidly in Central/Southern Asia and Eastern Europe. Local delivery of anti-retrovirus medicine to developing countries is very difficult.

* bioterrorism is a threat just as important as a nuclear war and a section of this global ministry must be prepared to respond quickly and efficiently.

* more research is needed to understand and respond to infectious diseases. Immunization rates are declining in low-income and middle-income countries. There are more than 30 new and highly infectious diseases that have been identified, such as Ebola and AIDS, and there are no treatment, cure, or vaccine.

* more research is needed in 20 known strains of diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and malaria which have developed resistance to antibiotics due to the widespread use and misuse of these drugs.

* more research is needed in old diseases such as cholera, plague, meningitis, diphtheria, dengue fever, hemorrhagic fever, and yellow fever as they have reappeared as public health threats after years of decline.

Health problems are often directly related to consequences of climate change and global warming include health conditions caused by changes in humidity, temperature, and nutritional deficiencies originating from insufficient crops and irrigation. Additional health care problems as a result of possible demographic movements include waterborne-diseases, and health conditions such as skin cancer due to increased UV radiation caused by ozone depletion. Emissions from fossil fuel combustion such as CO and Pb (lead) may affect humans adversely, and gases SO2 and NOX and particulate matter can cause respiratory illnesses.

Global Community is calling for the immediate formation of the Earth Ministry of Health. The globalization of trade, the extensive mouvement of people all over the world, the increase of poverty and diseases in developing countries and all over the world, have caused pathogens and exotic diseases to migrate over enormous distances and now, are an increasing threat to local ecosystems and communities, economies and health of every human being and all life. Global Community, is calling this threat of the upmost importance and must be dealt with immediately by every nation. We must manage health in the world. We are calling for the immediate creation of the Earth Ministry of Health . Formation of a Global Ministry of Environmental Health.

Governance of the Earth by Global Parliament will make the rule of arbitrary power--economic (WTO, FTAA, TPPA, BRICS, EU, etc.), political, or military (NATO)-- subjected to the rule of law within the global civil society, the human family. Justice is for everyone and is everywhere, a universal constant. Justice is without borders.

The Federation of Global Government is the place of meeting between Global Governments. Global Civilizational State offers a more meaningful union than the United Nations in the form of nine or more Global Governments such as Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, Asia, Oceania, the Middle-East, and South-East Asia. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade, but also with the environment, health, agriculture, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects. The very first step of the Federation, and maybe the only one for several decades ahead of us, would be the approval of essential services amongst the participating member nations. We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region, and to all life on Earth.

We can do better united as a Global Government, a Global Parliament, the Global Civilizational State: a new world to build, and a future to share and protect together.

Let us all be united as a Federation of 9 or more Global Governmewnts.

As a replacement to the United Nations, we have formed Global Parliament with 9 or more Global Governments (GGs) and an enforceable, non-military democratic Global Constitution for all. Governing bodies consist of four chambers making the Global Parliament: 

1.  House of Elected Representatives
2.  House of Advisers
3.    House of Executive Council, and
4.    Federation of Global Governments



The power of Global Parliament was de-centralized to give each GG a better chance to find the right solutions to global issues. It can act faster and be more effective and efficient in the context of the Global Civilizational State, this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities within each Nation. Global Community becomes thus more fluid and dynamic.

Earth Environmental Governance can only be achieved successfully within the larger context of Sustainable Development and Earth Management. All aspects are inter-related and affect one another. A healthy environment is essential to long term prosperity and well-being of Global Community citizens. That demands a high level of ecological protection. This is the 'raison d'etre' of the Scale of Global Rights.

The very first step of the Federation, and maybe the only one for several decades ahead of us, would be the approval of essential services amongst the participating member nations. We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region,and to all life on Earth. Global Community has researched and developed such services and listed them here. All of them are already in operation on a small scale.

Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA); World Trade Organization (WTO); North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA; 1994); the USMCA which took effect on July 1, 2020, replacing NAFTA; Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA); Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement (1988, suspended by NFTAA); Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS); European Union (EU); and many more international trade agreements between nations. All international trade agreements must be administered by the Global Trade and Resources Ministry and the Global Ministry of Essential Services as institutionalized by Global Parliament.

Today's international trade agreements are obsolete and primitive. They are formed to make a few people on the planet rich and creating a world of overconsumption and wastfully degrading the planet's resources and environment. Let us walk into a sustainable future. Let us first define what we mean by "Global Protection Agency (GPA)", and of course what we mean by "essential services" in the global context of humanity.

We have the responsibility of managing Earth. The Earth ecosystem is so fragile that we have to manage it together wisely. Souls and SoulLife want to help us to manage Earth. They want to help us!

Why would the Soul of Humanity want to help us? A very simple answer! Throughout our human history we have left behind too many dead bodies, and too much destruction. Everytime a lifeform dies because of us, a Soul lost a physical form to serve SoulLife.

Earth was hurt! All Souls on Earth have unified, and they are now called the Soul of Humanity. Souls can evolve and can do a lot to heal humanity. They will resolve problems, concerns and issues peacefully. They will reinstate the respect for Earth and work together to keep Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things. They have joined forces to bring forth a sustainable global society embracing universal values related to human rights, economic and social justice, respect of nature, peace, responsibility to one another, and the protection and management of the Earth.

Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within Global Community . When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.

The worst environmental degradation happens in wars. Farm products in fields and livestock are abandoned, there is no more control on toxic wastes, and water, air,and land are polluted. People are displaced and feel no longer responsible for the quality of life in their communities. Historically, the industrialized nationshave caused the most damage to the environment, with their careless technology and policies. Emissions from factories and vehicles have causedozone depletion and acid rain.

Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights.

To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance.

The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. So now Global Community ethics includes a process based on Scale of Global Rights. Global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. Global Community ethical grounds are practical, real, and applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.

In 1985, Scale of Global Rights (.mp4 (20 MB) Scale of Global Rights) was first proposed as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. After several decades of research and development, many global dialogues, we still find the Scale as the best solution to global problems. Today, we are presenting once more the Scale as the best educating tool to bring about the change the people of the world need to achieve for their own survival.

Global Community offers both a short term solution and a long term solution to the people of all nations. Both solutions have been integrated into the Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights, itself a necessary first step which must be approved by all of us.

Scale of Global Rights contains six (6) sections. Section 1 has more importance than all other sections below, and so on. Concerning sections 1, 2, and 3, it shall be Global Civilization highest priority to guarantee these rights to their respective Member Nations and to have proper legislation andimplement and enforce global law as it applies and as shown in the Global Constitution.

The Scale is a balancing process to sustain all life on the planet now and future generations

Concerning sections 1, 2, and 3, it shall be Global Community highest priority to guarantee these rights to Member Nations and to have proper lesgislation and implement and enforce global law as it applies.

Section  1.    Ecological rights and the protection of the global life-support systems

Section  2.    Primordial human rights

  •     safety and security
  •     have shelter
  •     'clean' energy
  •     'clean' and healthy environment
  •     drink fresh water
  •     breath clean air
  •     eat a balance diet
  •     basic clothing
  •     universal health care and education
  •     employment for all

Section  3.    The ecological rights, the protection of the global life-support systems and the primordial human rights of future generations

Concerning Sections 4, 5 and 6, it shall be the aim of Global Community to secure these other rights for all global citizens within the federation of all nations, but without immediate guarantee of universal achievement and enforcement. These rights are defined as Directive Principles, obligating Global Community to pursue every reasonable means for universal realization and implementation.

Section  4.    Community rights, rights of direct democracy, the right that the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number (50% plus one) and after voting representatives democratically.

Section  5.    Economic rights (business and consumer rights, and their responsibilities and accountabilities) and social rights (civil and political rights)

Section  6.    Cultural rights and religious rights

Scale of Global Rights definition

Definition of the Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights Human and Earth rights Scale of Global Rights Chapter X   of the Global Parliament Constitution  is about the  Scale of Human and Earth Rights

On the Scale of Global Rights primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems (ecological rights) are on top of the Scale. They are the most important aspects on the Scale. For instance, the existing and future uses of water are constantly challenged; balancing supply and demand is made even harder by the amounts of pollution found in the air, land and waters. A large part of our body is made of water, and we cannot live without water; therefore water is a primordial human right by our very nature.

Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as human beings: to live, eat, drink fresh water, breath clean air, and have shelter. These rights are separate categories than ecological rights, the right of the greatest number of people, economic rights, social rights, cultural rights and religious rights.

Ecological and primordial human rights are the only rights that have existed unchanged throughout the evolutionary origin of our species. Any major change would have threatened our very existence. All other human rights are rights created by human beings and can be changed depending of new circumstances; they are not stagnant but are rather flexible and adaptive, and they can evolve. Ecological and primordial human rights of this generation and of future generations are therefore much more important than any other human rights existing now and in the future.

In this way the Scale of Global Rights gives us a sense of direction for future planning and managing of the Earth. Earth management is now well defined and becomes a goal to achieve. We no longer waste energy and resources in doing things that are absolutely unimportant. So it has become a necessity to establish the Ministry of Global Resources that will be assessing, compiling, managing, protecting and distributing Earth resources, and the Earth Court of Justice prosecuting cases involving crimes related to the relentless misused of the Earth resources.

In order to avoid conflicts and wars over drinking (fresh)water, fresh water has been categorized as a primordial human right. Industrial pollution plays a major role in the deterioration of nature but this time the level of pollution is above the carrying capacity of a healthy ecosystem. Pollution also affects significantly human health and all lifeforms on Earth. Every person needs Oxygen to live so clean air is certainly also a primordial human right by our very nature.

Control over the amounts of greengases produced by human activities and let go into our air must be paramount to governance and management of Earth.The production of greengases involves the destruction of the Oxygen in our air and its replacement by CO2, a deadly chemical. CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have been measured at an altitude of about 4,000 meters on the peak of Mauna Loa mountain in Hawaii since 1958. The measurements at this location, remote from local sources of pollution, have clearly shown that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are increasing. The mean concentration of approximately 316 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in 1958 rose to approximately 369 ppmv in 1998. The annual variation is due to CO2 uptake by growing plants. The uptake is highest in the northern hemisphere springtime.

Today in 2022, the concentration is more than 460 ppmv. And after all the dirty tars sands oil of Alberta has been consumed, the concentration will be over 600 ppmv, i.e. the end of civilization as we know it, and the end of most lifeforms on the planet.

Human beings have a moral obligation to protect and conserve the biodiversity of life on Earth. The Global Constitution shows us how it can be done with Global Law, the Earth Court of Justice, and how the Global Protection Agency (GPA) and the Agency of Global Police (AGP) can protect the territory. Global Community Arrest Warrants can be issued to anyone breaking Global Law.

Leaders of the wealthier nations must be willing to accept responsibility for past mistakes and to help pay the financial burden for environmental protection of the developing nations. This is the most damaging conflict of interests between the rich industrialized countries and those that are poor and struggling just for existence. Global Community must help wealthy and poorer nations reach a better understanding of each other's needs.

All aspects are interrelated: peace, human rights and the environment. The poor is more concerned with ending starvation, finding a proper shelter and employment, and helping their children to survive. Environmental issues become meaningless to the poor. In reality, all concerns are interrelated. As soon as the environment is destroyed beyond repair, human suffering is next. Ecology has no boundaries. All nations suffer the effects ofair pollution, global warming, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, acid rain, ozone depletion, silting of streams, and countless of other environmental problems. This was the reason for proposing the Scale of Global Rights to Global Community.

Global Community ethics offer fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards.You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all human beings regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color or religion.Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear.

There are a large body of work of articles, papers and reports concerning the need to protect our environment and Global life-support systems. We are showing here a few.



It is the same idea for any consumer product. You manufacture, produce, farm or createa product, you become responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible forthe proper disposable of the waste).

People in our society often argue that their manufacturing products and the trading principles or rules that regulate their actions are all legal! But what about ethical values and moral principles?!

Climate change is definitely at the top of the most global important issues facing our planet today. While this issue primarily focuses on global warming, changes in precipitation, air quality, biodiversity, “habitable” zones and many other areas are part of and affected by climate change. However, it is extreme global climate change that would result in epic disruption if not outright decimation of the human species and most life as we know it today. We have already seen the death and destruction wreaked by monster typhoons and hurricanes, unexpected volcanic activity, monsoons, extreme heat and extreme cold systems.

History has demonstrated for over three billion years that life can adapt and new species can and will evolve, including humans. Humans are highly adaptable, and they are roaming and nomadic. The same goes for many lifeforms – fauna and flora — which we have seen migrate as weather conditions and trends change. There are other earth-threatening phenomena that pose far greater challenges to humanity than global climate change.

With Earth’s hottest temperatures normally hovering at 115°F (46.1°C) and reaching as high as 136°F (57.8°C) in the middle east and western portions of the United States and the coldest temperatures averaging around -50°F in Asia where humans live, there is potential for that perfect storm to trigger multiple extreme weather conditions worldwide. Still humans may survive, but the species could be seriously emaciated and unable to sustain itself.

The global tipping points of greatest concerns and the emergence and spread of deadly pathogens.

Our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global Life-support systems. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for a sound Global Civilizational State leadership.

Now Global Community claims that all Lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all Lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of all Lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western world (and in contrast with certain Eastern traditions) Lifeforms other than human beings have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created "animals" for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens must have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other Lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.

Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts, and Global Community ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Civilizational State proposes that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the pathway to global peace.

Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely and global warming, overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity.

In consequence of globalization, the new economic and political distribution of power around the world has become very different then we were used to. It has become very fluid, in perpetual motion and affected by global markets. Giant new markets are forming all over the world. Competition is hardening. National economies can no longer insure or guarantee rights of possession on any property. National borders no longer mean protection, security, cultural boundaries, resources ownership, political and economic control.

International market regulations try to control or ease the effects of globalization. The effects are often devastating. With globalization comes global problems such as:

    *    unemployment in industrial nations     

*    poverty increases world-wide ~ entire countries in a state of starvation    

*    environmental degradation    

*    national interests of a country changing and becoming more trade oriented and trying to go with the wave of global trade    

*    international interests of a country take prime importance    

*    in developing countries, national debts constrict the institutions of the national state and contribute to the destruction of the economic activity which, in turn, as the effect of creating unemployment    

*    national currencies of many countries are affected by national debts and contribute in destroying social Life, creating ethnic conflicts and civil wars    

*   the large corporation is becoming larger and getting more power and control falls into the hands of a few people    

*   globalization is another way of keeping control on our lives in the hands of a few people    

*   with globalization, we have no control and no say in our future and the world becomes a game played by a few people just as it has alway been through history, leading to revolutions and war    

*   with globalization there is no sense of direction and meaning, no security for the individual, just a few people getting richer and controlling us all.

By 2100, the United Nations Population Division (UNPD) projects the human population will swell to as many as 11.3 billion people. The world human population reached one billion by 1804 and has increased seven-fold in the 200 years since. If humans take over all of Earth’s living surface, there will be no room to provide for itself, let alone room for any other living plant or animal populations.

But human population will never reach that point. If human populations continue to balloon unabated, it will essentially eradicate itself with disease, starvation, harmful and detrimental living conditions and psychological deterioration.

With so many people taking so much land that also is needed for biodiversity, agriculture and food production, transportation, healthy living and natural habitats, the question necessarily becomes, “What is going to give?”

Earth is finite. Earth’s resources are finite. So, populations cannot be infinite; however, the global population continues to grow, taking more and more land, using up more and more resources, demanding more and more energy and housing, and creating more and more humans. In this way, the human species is its own enemy, perhaps innocently, but an enemy nonetheless. Zero Population Growth is attainable and is even projected as early as 2150, but we just don’t know.

Clearly the environmental challenges facing humanity in this century and beyond would be less difficult in a world with slower population growth or none at all.

Population is a critical variable influencing the availability of each of the natural resources considered here. And access to family planning services is a critical variable influencing population. Use of family planning contributes powerfully to lower fertility, later childbearing, and slower population growth. Yet policymakers, environmentalists and the general public remain largely unaware of the growing interest of young people throughout the world in delaying pregnancies and planning their families. In greater proportions than ever, girls want to go to school and to college, and women want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country to obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to end world population growth in the new century.

Reproductive health services can help. Voluntary family planning and other reproductive health services can help couples avert high-risk pregnancies, prevent unwanted childbearing and abortion, and avoid diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, that can lead to death, disability, and infertility.

Comprehensive reproductive health services, especially care in pregnancy and childbirth and for sexually transmitted infections, are key to preventing disability and death and improving women's health. Better access to emergency care during childbirth and safe abortion services would also contribute significantly to lower maternal death rates. Family planning diminishes risks associated with frequent childbearing and helps reduce reliance on abortion.

An important obstacle to couple negotiation of contraceptive use and protection from STDs including HIV is that most women have unequal access to resources and decision-making. Yet women are more vulnerable to the consequences of unplanned pregnancies and often HIV/STI's. For these reasons, countering the prevailing gender stereotypes that increase risky behaviors and decrease couple communication is a key strategy for promoting good reproductive health.

Individuals, too, can help bring about a world that is more secure and more supportive of life, health and happiness. They can educate themselves on population dynamics, consumption patterns and the impact of these forces on natural resources and the environment. They can be socially, politically and culturally active to elevate the issues they care about. They can become more environmentally responsible in their purchasing decisions and their use of energy and natural resources. And individuals and couples can consider the impacts of their reproductive decisions on their communities and the world as a whole.

Population dynamics are among the primary underlying causes of forest decline. Poverty, corruption, inequitable access to land and wasteful consumption practices also influence the decisions of governments, corporations and individuals to cut and clear forests. The interaction of these forces is most evident in areas such as South Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty, rapid population growth and weak institutions contribute to forest loss and severe environmental degradation.

The dominant force in forest loss is growth in the demand for farmland. Subsistence agriculture is the principal cause of forest loss in Africa, Asia and much of Latin America. Slash-and-burn farming and other traditional techniques were sustainable for centuries when population densities were lower. Today they are a major factor, along with the expansion of commercial farms and livestock grazing areas, in the permanent conversion of wooded land to agriculture. The need to increase food production is expected to accelerate the forest-to-farmland cycle, especially in countries where alternatives for meeting this demand are limited.

A typical American uses 15 times as much lumber and paper as a resident of a developing country. Reducing wood consumption in the industrialized world is unlikely to stop forest loss in developing countries however, since most of the wood consumed comes from trees in the industrialized countries themselves. Nevertheless, the consumption model offered to the rest of the world threatens accelerated forest loss as both populations and economies grow in developing countries.

Population policies based on human development and the Scale of Global Rights offer the greatest hope for the future of forests. This is not an argument for population "control" but for the social investments that allow couples to choose when to have children and how many to have. Programs linking conservation activities with family planning services show promise for achieving both the sustainable use of forests and greater acceptance of reproductive health services.

Sustainable wood consumption is essential for the future of forests. Individuals and institutions alike should promote the ecologically sound and socially responsible use of forest products. Eco-labeling, or the environmental certification of wood products, could speed the adoption of more sustainable forestry practices. Consumer demand for green-certified paper and other wood products is an important complement to recycling and other efforts to reduce wood consumption.

The total number of people worldwide could still double or even triple from today’s 7.9 billion before stabilizing a century or more from now. Women in most countries are still having more than the two-child average consistent with a stable population size. Moreover, so many young people are now entering or moving through their childbearing years that even a two-child average would still boost population size for a few decades until the momentum of past growth subsides. Yet there is reason for optimism. The combination of access to family planning and other reproductive health services, education for girls and economic opportunity for women could lower birthrates enough to stabilize world population well before a doubling of today’s total.

Motivation, rather than differential access to modern contraception is a major determinant of fertility.  Individuals frequently respond to scarcity by having fewer children, and to perceived improved economic opportunity by having more children. Economic development does not cause family size to shrink; rather, at every point where serious economic opportunity beckons, family size preferences expand.

A)  Foreign aid conveys to the recipients the perception of improving economic wellbeing, which is followed by an increase in the fertility of the recipients of the aid.

B)  Migrations from regions of low economic opportunity to places of higher economic opportunity result in an increase in the fertility of the migrants that persists for a generation or two. The need is not to control population growth. Governments cannot control childbearing and attempts to do so have sometimes led to coercive approaches to reproduction that violate human rights. The need is rather to expand the power individuals have over their own lives, especially by enabling them to choose how many children to have and when to have them.

Investing in education for girls helps them to contribute to their national economies–and to postpone childbearing until they are ready for a family. Providing credit and other economic opportunities for women creates alternatives to early and frequent childbearing. Finally, better access to quality reproductive health services directly benefits women and their families. These approaches increase human capacity, providing the greatest long-term return to societies, individuals and the environment. Moreover, they are likely to lead to an early peak in world population in the coming century.

Comprehensive population policies are an essential element in a world development strategy that combines access to reproductive health services, to education and economic opportunities, to improved energy and natural resource technologies, and to healthyer models of consumption and the "good life." Policies to decrease world population:

  • delay reproduction until later in life Delaying reproduction is important in influencing population growth rates. Over a period of 60 years, if people delay reproduction until they are 30 years old, you would have only two generations, while if you do not delay reproduction you would have three generations (one generation every 20 years).

  • spread your children farther apart

  • to have fewer children overall

  • government commitment to decreasing population growth Create policies that help decreasing the number of children being born. Policies such as income tax deductions for dependent children and maternity and paternity leaves are essentially pronatalist and should be eliminated.

  • programs that are locally designed and that include information on family planning and access to contraceptives

  • educational programs that emphasize the connection between family planning and social good

The vast disparities in reproductive health worldwide and the greater vulnerability of the poor to reproductive risk point to several steps all governments can take, with the support of other sectors, to improve the health of women and their families:

  • Give women more life choices. The low social and economic status of women and girls sets the stage for poor reproductive health

  • Invest in reproductive health care

  • Encourage delays in the onset of sexual activity and first births

  • Help couples prevent and manage unwanted childbearing

  • Ensure universal access to maternal health care

  • Support new reproductive health technologies

  • Increase efforts to address the HIV pandemic

  • Involve communities in evaluating and implementing programs

  • Develop partnerships with the private sector, policymakers and aid donors to broaden support for reproductive health

  • Measure Progress

Global Community is declaring a moratorium on immigration all over the world, on all applications for immigration, until applicants from any religious or cultural background have satisfied completely Global Community standard for a population fertility rate of 1.3 children per family. The problem with world overpopulation is everybody’s problem. We are all responsible. Until tangible progress is made no immigrants should be accepted. That is Global Law. 

Population warfare  It is the use of a very high fertility rate to conquer a nation, and that could mean as many as or more than 2.1 children per family. It is a form of cultural and/or religious aggression and invasion by having a much too high number of new born babies. For instance, there has been a rapid increase in population among Muslims to the extent that in fifty years all of Europe and North America are expected to be mostly Islamic. The influx of Latino immigration into the western states of the USA will also have the effect of a population warfare.  Family is important.

Family with too many children is a problem. No one can feed, educate, and take care of a family with a large number of children. Think of the world population today and in the coming decades, as a family with already far too many members. We all know world population on our planet as overreach its safe and secure capacity. Our family is breaking down, suffering, crying, hungry, dying, tortured, and in great danger of extinction. Our family is out of control, abused, taken advantage of by the 1% of its members, and by promoting democracy and human rights destructively.

What makes Life on planet Earth habitable for all species?

Earth is located in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way (called the Orion Arm) which lies about two-thirds of the way out from the center of the Galaxy. Here we are part of the Solar System - a group of eight planets, as well as numerous comets and asteroids and dwarf planets which orbit the Sun.

What makes Life on planet Earth habitable? It is the right distance from the Sun, it is protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field, it is kept warm by an insulating atmosphere, and it has the right chemical ingredients for life, including water and carbon.

zzz

Scientists say we should look for three key ingredients that make life possible: liquid water, chemistry, and energy. Also, because life takes time to develop.

Water is the most important element for Earth to support life. But friendships, relationships, time, memories, and experiences are what truly matters in life. It's those people and things that can never be replaced, even if we try. Purpose is another important aspect of life because, without purpose, we would feel empty and void of everything.

Almost all the processes that make up life on Earth can be broken down into chemical reactions - and most of those reactions require a liquid to break down substances so they can move and interact freely.

Global Community stands for a democracy.

Love the world, save the world! Rise up global citizens. You are needed! Life needs you, now. Take significant and meaningful actions to save Earth, all Life, from complete extinction. Let us lead the world toward Global Civilizational State for education, Justice, protection of life species on Earth, and for new ways of doing business and trade, in global development, and in the management of global resources.

At the origin of this quest, a source no one remembers, was a long, arduous search for something to save the world, to take all our dreams, fears, and goals, and wrap them up into an attainable journey. More was written during Global Dialogue 2024 and, of course, during all Global Dialogues since 1985. Let me remind you of the first addendum to the paper published for the month of August, 2023, and also is an addition to today's document.

( see enlargement What Global Community stands for.   Global Community  35th year   achievements and celebration from its beginning in 1985 to 2024. What we stand for.

The earliest life forms we know of were microscopic organisms (microbes) that left signals of their presence in rocks about 3.7 billion years old. The signals consisted of a type of carbon molecule that is produced by living things. But Earth is considered as the home of humankind.

Planet Earth is the home of human beings as it provides favourable living conditions which constitute our environment. It provides us with the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat and land where we live.

Among the stunning variety of worlds in our solar system, only Earth is known to host life. But other moons and planets show signs of potential habitability.

What makes Earth suitable for all life? It should, however, be stated that democracy-building in our place in history is far easier to achieve in an authoritarian setting compared to a totalitarian one.

  • Distance of the Earth from the Sun.
  • Importance of light on the Earth.
  • Importance of Earth's Atmosphere.
  • Importance of Ozone Layer.
  • Favourable Climatic Condition.
  • Water.
  • Force of attraction (Earth's gravitational pull)

Global Community stands for a democracy based on the fact that land, air, water, oil & gas, all minerals, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum are natural resources, and rightly belong to Global Community as a birthright, and they are for sharing as per the Scale of Global Rights.

We can all have Peace on Earth, our Global Community. And so, let us all celebrate our 39th Anniversary since 1985 to 2024.

Let us continue to buildup the Multicivilizational Community, and our Global Civilizational State to keep Peace in the world with sustainability.

Welcome to your Global Community Activities. Learn about your Global Dialogue activities over the past decades of research work..



bbb

The idea of creating global dialogues was first brought forward in a report on global changes published in 1990 by Germain Dufour. The report contained 450 policies (workable sound solutions) on sustainable development, and was presented to the United Nations, the Government of Canada, the provincial government of Alberta and several non-profit organizations and scientists.

There was a need at the time for helping humanity back onto the path of survival this millennium. There is still a need for such help and most likely will continue to be so forever.

Global dialogues are the source of new ideas and finding new ways for our survival and taking along with us other lifeforms on the planet. 

The people of Global Community, are using global dialogues to resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human rights abuses.

In order to bring about the event of peace, Global Community is offering other good organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. We can accomplish this task by concrete actions such as:

a) Tracking armed conflicts within and between nations around the world and offering assistance in dispute resolution;

b) Promoting human rights and democracy;

c) Monitoring democratic elections;and 

d) Educating the public about the advantages of a peaceful solution to any conflict. Global Community also proposes that all nations of the world promote the Scale of Human and Earth Rights and the criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship.

Every global community citizen lives a life with the higher values described in the Scale and the criteria. Global community citizens are good members of the human family. Most global problems, including global warming and world overpopulation, can be managed through acceptance of the Scale and the criteria. 

Global Community can contribute in evaluating options and strategies for adapting to climate change as it occurs, and in identifying human activities that are even now maladapted to climate. There are two fundamental types of response to the risks of climate change:

1. reducing the rate and magnitudes of change through mitigating the causes, and

2. reducing the harmful consequences through anticipatory adaptation.

Mitigating the causes of global warming implies limiting the rates and magnitudes of increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, either by reducing emissions or by increasing sinks for atmospheric CO2. Reducing the harmful consequences can be achieved by co-operating together with the global ministries on climate change and emergencies.

Global Community has created the https://globalcommunitywebnet.com/globalcommunity/globalministries.htm global ministries to help humanity be prepared to fight the harmful consequences of a global warming through anticipatory adaptation. The global ministries on climate change and emergencies are now operating. The ministries have developed:

1. policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and

2. strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change.

Global Community has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within Global Community. We will work together in working out sound solutions to local and global problems. It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it).

There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better. Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future.

Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. Global Community can help people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.

The responsibility of a peacemaker is to settle differences through compromise and negotiation before they erupt into violence. Conflicting views do not have to bring about fighting. War is an irreversible solution to a problem. War is never an appropriate solution to resolve a conflict.  Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations through the process of the  Earth Court of Justice.

Global Civilizational State, the Multicivilizational Community.

A cause and effect relationship was applied to each global issue:

*The replacement of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Scale of Global Rights;

*The way Society view Nature and the capitalist system of governance;

*Fossil fuels being ussed only for essential services;

*The global tipping points;

*Children and future generations;

*Global Peace.

Because of modernization, global politics today is being reconfigured along cultural lines and civilizations. And of course, Global Civilizational State is finally giving its historical place as the global solution to saving humanity, and all other lifeforms on Earth, from complete extinction.

Peoples and countries with similar cultures are coming together. Alignments defined by ideology and superpower relations are giving way to alignments defined by culture and civilization. A civilization may also include people who share in and identify with its culture, but who live in states dominated by members of another civilization. Civilizations usually have one or more places viewed by their members as the principal source or sources of the civilization's culture. These sources are often located within the core state or states of the civilization, that is, its most powerful and culturally central state or states.

In a multicivilizational world, there are core values which different ethnic and religious societies have in common. The constructive course is to accept diversity, and seek commonalities. A more inclusive Global Civilizational State can emerge gradually through the exploration and expansion of these commonalities.

Commonalities exist between Asia and the West. Whatever the degree to which humankind is divided, the world's major religions, Western Christianity, Orthodoxy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, also share key values in common. Peace in a multicivilizational world is the finding of those commonalities and so peoples in all civilizations should search for and attempt to expand the values, institutions, and practices they have in common with peoples of other civilizations.

In modern era, Western civilization, the West, is referred to the European-American civilization and America has become the land of freedom, equality, opportunity, the future, and is a distinct core-state civilization. Not so much ideologies, simply economics and politics now differentiate peoples of different civilizations. Nevertheless, cultures, ways of life, ways of doing things have been the most distinguishing characteristics. Those characteristics have been defined by religion, language, ancestry, history, communities, ethnic groups, customs, nations, and also by major levels of classification being civilizations.

Earth governance and management to build a Global Civilization based on global sustainability.

https://globalcommunitywebnet.com/globalcommunity/earthgovernmgmt.htm

1. belonging to all peoples of the world; not limited to the politics, interests, or prejudices of one part of the world.

2. built by a democratically elected government.

3. for all Life and plants on our planet and widely applied over the globe.

4. peoples who are free from local, provincial, or national bias or attachment; global citizens of the world building it together.

Building Global Communities for all Life and plants.

One of the most important factors in our lives is the inter-connection we have to others, to other countries. Through these connections you will be able to create changes for good on a global scale. Right now you can use your skills, your knowledge, your abilities, to realize how your strengths can help bring about the best kind of changes in the world by connecting with us in our aim to promote a world sustainable development on four major levels: the land, the richness of our land, our economic endeavours and the welfare of all our peoples. And certainly we need a stable and secure world. Global Community proposes that politics and Justice be without borders. Proper Earth governance has now become a necessity for the survival of all life.

Governance of the Earth will make the rule of arbitrary power--economic (WTO, FTAA, EU), political, or military (NATO)-- subjected to the rule of law within Global Community . Justice is for everyone and is everywhere, a universal constant. Justice is without borders.

Global Community has no intention of changing the status and privileges of state governments. In fact, state governments become primary members of Global Community. Global governance can only be effective within the framework of the criteria of Global Community citizenship.

Global Community was built from a grassroots process with a vision for humanity that is challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments, and has a vision of the people working together building a new civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations. Global cooperation brings people together for a common future for the good of all.

Earth governance does not imply a lost of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. A nation government exists within the framework of an effective Global Community protecting common global values and humanity heritage. Earth governance gives a new meaning to the notions of territoriality, and non-intervention in a state way of life, and it is about protecting the cultural heritage of a state. Diversity of cultural and ethnic groups is an important aspect of Earth governance.

Earth governance is a balance between the rights of states with rights of people, and the interests of nations with the interests of the Global Community, the human family, the global civil society.

Earth governance is about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of Global Community rather than the traditional context of a world of separate states.

Although Global Community ensures state governments that it will obey the principle of non-intervention in domestic affairs, it will also stand for the rights and interests of the people within individual states in which the security of people is extensively endangered. A global consensus to that effect will be agreed upon by all nation states.

We believe the world is at a turning point. We can no longer perceive ourselves as a People who could survive alone and a People who does not need anyone else. We belong and depend to a much larger group, that of Global Community , the human family. The 21st Century will see limitless links and interrelationships within Global Community.

Ever since the early 1990s, Global Community has researched and developed the concept of 'a global community'. It has since been made a part of the foundation of Global Community and is thought as the way of life of the future. The concept is also in the Statement of rights, responsibilities, and accountabilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to 'Global Community ', the human family.

That is, the statement is about to take a stand:

a) I am not just a woman, I am a person, I am citizen of a global community,

b) I am not just a man, I am a person, I am citizen of a global community,

c) We are responsible, accountable and equal persons in every way, and we will manage wisely our population and Earth, and

d) We are citizens of Global Community, the human family.

(Read about a few examples of how to apply the Statement ) We need to take this stand for the survival of our species.

The Statement includes:

A) Rights and responsiblitities of a person in 'a global community'

B) Rights and responsiblitities of a person in 'Global Community'

C) Rights and responsiblitities of 'a global community'

D) Rights and responsiblitities of 'Global Community'

The Statement was further developed into the now approved Global Citizens Rights, Responsibility and Accountability Act.

This Century is a new challenge. New standards, goals and objectives have to be defined. Firm universal guidelines are essentials in keeping the world healthy. Already we notice new ways of thinking being embraced, new behaviors and attitudes adopted. Global ethics are required to do business and deal with one another to sustain Earth. Global Community proposes to corporations that they take responsibility on behalf of society and people, and that they should pay more attention to human and Earth rights, working conditions and getting ride of corruption in the world of business and trade. We have developed a criteria, and we ask you to turn it into practice.

vv

Effective Earth governance requires a greater understanding of what it means to live in a more crowded, interdependent humanity with finite resources and more pollution threatening the global life-support systems.

Global Community has no other choice but to work together at all levels. The collective power is needed to create a better world .

Introductory theme: Vision of Earth in 2024.

A civilization is a complex human society, usually made up of different cities, with certain characteristics of cultural and technological development. In many parts of the world, early civilizations formed when people began coming together in urban settlements.

A civilization can also be defined as a complex culture with five significant characteristics: advanced cities, specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and advanced technology. Advanced cities are an important feature of civilized life. Cities were actually the birthplaces of the first civilizations.

All civilizations have certain characteristics. These include: large population centers; monumental architecture and unique art styles; shared communication strategies; systems for administering territories; a complex division of labor; and the division of people into social and economic classes.

ii

All world civilizations have values, solutions to handle issues, and a vision for survival as a species.

The UN Security Council seeks to address threats to international security. Its five permanent members, chosen in the wake of World War II, have veto power. The Security Council fosters negotiations, imposes sanctions, and authorizes the use of force, including the deployment of peacekeeping missions. Global Community and its Global Protection Agency will be asked to replace the UN to help our overpopulated world managed our ways relating to the production, buying, and selling of goods or services.

The UN has no military forces of its own, and Member States provide, on a voluntary basis, the military and police personnel required for each peacekeeping operation.

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 and committed to maintaining international peace and security; developing friendly relations among nations; promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights.

A civilization is a complex human society, usually made up of different cities, with certain characteristics of cultural and technological development. In many parts of the world, early civilizations formed when people began coming together in urban settlements.

Knowing about how ancient people and societies dealt with issues in the past helps us to recognize, and be prepared for, dealing with our own issues both currently and in the future.

The most important characteristic for the development of a civilization is the presence of advanced cities because they were centers of trade, which established economies and allowed for further development of the civilizations.

The most important characteristic for the development of a Global Civilizational Community, or Multicivilizational Community, is the presence of advanced cities because they were centers of international trade, which established world economies and allowed for further development of the global civilizations, and established Global Peace and the Protection of the Global Life Support-systems.

Obtaining your Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship (CCGCC) will help you to show the world your ways of doing business are best for Global Community. Governments should encourage enterprises to use the criteria both by legal and moral means. At first, the criteria should be adopted in key areas such as procurement, facilities management, investment management, and human resources. Corporations want to be seen as good corporate leaders and have a stronger form of accountability. Business and trade will prosper after stronger common bonds and values have been established. Adopting the criteria will have a beneficial impact on future returns, and share price performance.

Obtaining the CCGCC will help businesses to be part of the solution to the challenges of globalisation. In this way, the private sector in partnership with the civil society can help realize a vision: allowing a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.

Our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global Life-support systems. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for a sound Global Civilizational State leadership.

Now Global Community claims that all Lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all Lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of all Lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western world (and in contrast with certain Eastern traditions) Lifeforms other than human beings have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created "animals" for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens must have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other Lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.

By 2100, the United Nations Population Division (UNPD) projects the human population will swell to as many as 11.3 billion people. The world human population reached one billion by 1804 and has increased seven-fold in the 200 years since. If humans take over all of Earth’s living surface, there will be no room to provide for itself, let alone room for any other living plant or animal populations.

Human population will never reach that point. If human populations continue to balloon unabated, it will essentially eradicate itself with disease, starvation, harmful and detrimental living conditions and psychological deterioration.

With so many people taking so much land that also is needed for biodiversity, agriculture and food production, transportation, healthy living and natural habitats, the question necessarily becomes, “What is going to give?”

In this way, the human species is its own enemy, perhaps innocently, but an enemy nonetheless. Zero Population Growth is attainable and is even projected as early as 2150, but we just don’t know.

Earth is finite. Earth’s resources are finite. So, populations cannot be infinite; however, the global population continues to grow, taking more and more land, using up more and more resources, demanding more and more energy and housing, and creating more and more humans.

Clearly the environmental challenges facing humanity in this century and beyond would be less difficult in a world with slower population growth or none at all.

Population is a critical variable influencing the availability of each of the natural resources considered here. And access to family planning services is a critical variable influencing population. Use of family planning contributes powerfully to lower fertility, later childbearing, and slower population growth. Yet policymakers, environmentalists and the general public remain largely unaware of the growing interest of young people throughout the world in delaying pregnancies and planning their families. In greater proportions than ever, girls want to go to school and to college, and women want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country to obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to end world population growth in the new century.

Reproductive health services can help. Voluntary family planning and other reproductive health services can help couples avert high-risk pregnancies, prevent unwanted childbearing and abortion, and avoid diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, that can lead to death, disability, and infertility.

Comprehensive reproductive health services, especially care in pregnancy and childbirth and for sexually transmitted infections, are key to preventing disability and death and improving women's health. Better access to emergency care during childbirth and safe abortion services would also contribute significantly to lower maternal death rates. Family planning diminishes risks associated with frequent childbearing and helps reduce reliance on abortion.

An important obstacle to couple negotiation of contraceptive use and protection from STDs including HIV is that most women have unequal access to resources and decision-making. Yet women are more vulnerable to the consequences of unplanned pregnancies and often HIV/STI's. For these reasons, countering the prevailing gender stereotypes that increase risky behaviors and decrease couple communication is a key strategy for promoting good reproductive health.

Individuals, too, can help bring about a world that is more secure and more supportive of life, health and happiness. They can educate themselves on population dynamics, consumption patterns and the impact of these forces on natural resources and the environment. They can be socially, politically and culturally active to elevate the issues they care about. They can become more environmentally responsible in their purchasing decisions and their use of energy and natural resources. And individuals and couples can consider the impacts of their reproductive decisions on their communities and the world as a whole.

Population dynamics are among the primary underlying causes of forest decline. Poverty, corruption, inequitable access to land and wasteful consumption practices also influence the decisions of governments, corporations and individuals to cut and clear forests. The interaction of these forces is most evident in areas such as South Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty, rapid population growth and weak institutions contribute to forest loss and severe environmental degradation.

The dominant force in forest loss is growth in the demand for farmland. Subsistence agriculture is the principal cause of forest loss in Africa, Asia and much of Latin America. Slash-and-burn farming and other traditional techniques were sustainable for centuries when population densities were lower. Today they are a major factor, along with the expansion of commercial farms and livestock grazing areas, in the permanent conversion of wooded land to agriculture. The need to increase food production is expected to accelerate the forest-to-farmland cycle, especially in countries where alternatives for meeting this demand are limited.

A typical American uses 15 times as much lumber and paper as a resident of a developing country. Reducing wood consumption in the industrialized world is unlikely to stop forest loss in developing countries however, since most of the wood consumed comes from trees in the industrialized countries themselves. Nevertheless, the consumption model offered to the rest of the world threatens accelerated forest loss as both populations and economies grow in developing countries.

Population policies based on human development and the Scale of Global Rights offer the greatest hope for the future of forests. This is not an argument for population "control" but for the social investments that allow couples to choose when to have children and how many to have. Programs linking conservation activities with family planning services show promise for achieving both the sustainable use of forests and greater acceptance of reproductive health services.

Sustainable wood consumption is essential for the future of forests. Individuals and institutions alike should promote the ecologically sound and socially responsible use of forest products. Eco-labeling, or the environmental certification of wood products, could speed the adoption of more sustainable forestry practices. Consumer demand for green-certified paper and other wood products is an important complement to recycling and other efforts to reduce wood consumption.

Introductory theme: Vision of Earth in 2024.

Global Civilizational State: our future generations may be contrasted with current and past generations, and evoked in order to encourage thinking about intergenerational equity. The recognition of rights of future generations is the right to achieve a sustainable level of development and the right to be able to utilise natural resources. The Scale of Global Rights does answer this thinking.

It is impossible within the scope of this paper to describe, compare, and evaluate all past and present civilizations, and conclude that "A successful Global Civilizational State for all Life" would have the following distinguishing characteristics. Nevertheless, let us see what can be found within the context of today civilizations, what are possible surviving solutions for life on Earth, and even attempt to promote a system of global governance consisting of a more meaningful world union in the form of nine or more Global Governments and Global Parliament.

Human history stretches through generations, and is the history of civilizations. Civilization and culture both refer to the overall way of life of a people, and involve the values, beliefs, norms, institutions, social structures, and modes of thinking to which successive generations in a given society. The composition and shapes of civilizations change over time, the cultures of peoples interact and overlap. A short list of values humans have developed over time to survive as a species are shown here.

ee

If the term civilization is elevated to what is common to humanity as a whole then the largest cultural groupings of people would be a single Global Civilizational State, that is a variety of cultures, of peoples, of religious worlds, of historical traditions, and of historically formed attitudes.

People have shared a few fundamental values and institutions throughout history, which may explain some constants in human behavior but it cannot explain history, which consists of changes in human behavior.

The development and evolution of the West are in large part the factors which enabled the West to take the lead in modernizing itself and non-Western societies. These factors were truly concepts, practices, and institutions have been more prevalent in the West than in non-Western civilizations. Over time, characteristics of Western civilization have been defined by religion and moral principles, human rights, language, ancestry, history, ethnic groups, customs and laws, and also by maintaining a meaningful independent existence, and ways of life.

America is the distinct core-state civilization of the West. Inevitably, the fate of the United States within the West grouping of states depends upon Americans asserting strongly once more their commitment to Western civilization and today, their commitment to the Global Civilizational State which is seen by global citizens as the guardian, custodian and embodiment of Western civilization.

The effect of the expansion of the West has promoted both the modernization and the Westernization of non-Western societies. However modernization does not necessarily mean Westernization. Non-Western societies can modernize and have modernized without abandoning their own cultures and adopting wholesale Western values, institutions, and practices. In short, modernization has meant a great victory and achievement of Global Civilizational State on Earth.

Now, let us have a more specific definition and understanding of non-Western civilizations. Non-Western societies, such as those in East Asia, are expanding their economic wealth, political strength, military power, claiming their own cultural values and letting go those constrained on them by the West. Nations with cultural similarities cooperate economically and politically. For instance, East Asian economic success has its primary source in East Asian culture. Power has shifted from the predominant West to non-Western civilizations, and global politics has become multipolar and multicivilizational.

For China, unity is its first priority. The Chinese state enjoys a very different kind of relationship with society compared with the Western state. It enjoys much greater natural authority, legitimacy and respect, even though not a single vote is cast for the government. The reason is that the state is seen by the Chinese people as the guardian, custodian and embodiment of their civilization. The duty of the state is to protect its unity. The legitimacy of the state therefore lies deep in Chinese history. This is utterly different from how the state is seen by Western societies.

As a modern state, China accepts the concept of the sovereign equality of states and prevailing conceptions of human rights. China is unique due to the many traditions and features originating from its civilization. This is also the key conceptual difference between a civilizational state and a civilization-state. The civilizational state represents an amalgamation of an old civilization and a modern nation-state. On the other hand, a civilization-state reflects the tension between the two. As a civilizational state, China is both old and young, both traditional and modern, both Chinese and global. At least eight features can be derived from the civilizational state of China: 1) a very large population, 2) a vast territoty, 3) very long traditions, 4) a unique language, 5) richest cultural heritages, 6) a political system with Chinese characteristics, 7) a distinctive society, 8) and a unique way of running an economy.

Within China development model, the main features of the civilizational state (population, territory, tradition and culture) all constitute China's greatest strengths. China has the richest human resources and potentially the largest consumer market; China has an unparalleled geopolitical and geoeconomic status; China has its tradition of independent thinking, and has the richest cultural resources in the world. China is a civilizational state generating its own standards and values and making unique contributions to the world civilizations. China's civilizational state has a strong capability to draw on the strengths of other nations while maintaining its own identity. The Chinese people have a deep respect of Nature and have applied the secular application of ethics and political philosophy to social, economic, and political governance. Chinese culture is more inclusive than exclusive, within the broad conceptual framework of the Confucian idea of 'unity in diversity". The greatest wisdom of a civilizational state is its long tradition of seeking common ground while differences are set apart, and this wisdom is first reflected in the Chinese language.

Over ancient time to this day, morality in society made its way into our ways of doing business. So the set of behaviors that constitute Global Civilizational State ethic for a business also evolved largely because they provided possible survival benefits to increase evolutionary success. Consequently, peoples evolved socially to express emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. Humans developed truly moral, altruistic instincts.

When looking across cultures of geo-cultural areas and across millennia, certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures, the major ones include:

wisdom, knowledge, courage, justice, love, truth, empathy, kindness, and social intelligence.

These virtues were not always incorporated into the ways of doing business because the 1% super rich businesses became corrupted, greedy, no longer in line with humanity's survival on the planet, and more interested in keeping most of the wealth, resources and power for themselves keeping the remaining 99% of the world population in poverty. But today, Global Civilizational State incorporates these virtues and proper behaviors into corporate citizen global ethics.

Global Civilizational State ethics for a business are about how we treat others and a commitment to respect every person humanely and with dignity. For this process to work, global citizens learn to forgive, be patient and compassionate, promote acceptance, open theirs hearts to one another, and practice a culture of solidarity and cooperation. Let go narrow differences between us all for the greater good of humanity and future generations.

Economic and political power must be used as a service to humanity instead of misusing it in ruthless battles for domination. Global Community faith can help to develop a spirit of compassion with those who suffer, with special care for the children, the aged, the poor, the disabled, and the refugees.

We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and to grow strong caring communities in which we get more of our human satisfaction from caring relationships and less from material goods. We need to reclaim the ideal of being a democratic middle-class people without extremes of wealth and poverty. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. This means letting go a sense of ourselves as consumption machines. We need a Global Civilizational State leadership for all of humanity. We all could learn from the successful ways of China, the chinese leadership governing his or her people. The daily problems they have to overcome issues with a population higher than 1.5 billion people, all with different ways of doing things, cultural and religious included.

The increased interaction among peoples which includes trade, investment, tourism, media, electronic communication, is generating a common world culture. Improvements in transportation and communications technology have indeed made it easier and cheaper to move money, goods, people, knowledge, ideas, and images around the world. By increasing trade globally is unlikely to ease international tensions or promote greater international stability. Economic interdependence fosters peace only when states expect that high trade levels will continue into the foreseeable future, otherwise war is likely to result.

Often people define their identity by what they are not. As increased communications, trade, and travel multiply the interactions among civilizations, people increasingly accord greater relevance to their civilizational identity. In an increasingly globalized world characterized by historically exceptional degrees of civilizational, societal, and other modes of interdependence and widespread consciousness, there is an exacerbation of civilizational, societal, and ethnic self-consciousness. The global religious revival, the return of the sacred, is a response to people's perception of the world as a single place, Earth, and Global Community.

Today the evidence-based argument for the appearance of a Global Civilizational State is really the result of the broad processes of modernization that have been going on since the eighteenth century. Modernization involves industrialization, urbanization, increasing levels of literacy, education, wealth, social mobilization, and more complex and diversified occupational structures. It is a product of the tremendous expansion of scientific and engineering knowledge beginning in the eighteenth century that made it possible for humans to control and shape their environment in totally unprecedented ways. Modernization is a revolutionary process comparable only to the shift from primitive to civilized societies that is, the appearance and evolution of Global Civilizational State.

In consequence of globalization, the new economic and political distribution of power around the world has become very different then we were used to. It has become very fluid, in perpetual motion and affected by global markets. Giant new markets are forming all over the world. Competition is hardening. National economies can no longer insure or guarantee rights of possession on any property. National borders no longer mean protection, security, cultural boundaries, resources ownership, political and economic control.

Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely and global warming, overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity.

Today, for life survival on our planet, a distinction must be made in the developed countries between necessary and limitless consumption, between socially beneficial and non-beneficial uses of property, between justified and unjustified uses of natural resources, and between a profit-only and a socially beneficial and ecologically oriented market economy. The lives of all lifeforms and plants on our planet deserve protection, preservation, and care. Global Community disapproves of the limitless exploitation of the natural foundations of life, the relentless destruction of the biosphere, and the militarization of the space within and above the Earth's atmosphere. Global citizens must live in harmony with nature on and above the Earth's surface.

The life extinction crisis on Earth is an environmental issue and also a social justice issue, one that is linked to long histories of capitalist domination over people, other life forms, and plants. The extinction crisis needs to be seen as a key element in contemporary struggles against accumulation by dispossession. This crisis, in other words, ought to be a key issue in the fight for climate justice. The 1% people have as much wealth as half the world's population, and are controlling all economies on the planet. They stand behind an economic system based on capitalism that has institutionalized a global ignorance, in which producers and consumers cannot know or care about one another, and in which the histories of all products will be lost.

It is now increasingly evident that only by sharing the world's natural resources more equitably and sustainably will we be able to address both the ecological and social crisis we face as Global Civilizational State.

The combined effects of aggressive marketing, advertising, and planned product obsolescence mean that the American consumer’s oversized footprint is largely a consequence and reflection of the global power of Transnational Corporations(TNCs), and more specifically corporate America. Global warming and climate change denialism requires shutting one’s eyes to obvious realities when the truth is that the Earth is warmer than it has been in 120,000 years. In that sense, it is perhaps more accurate to speak of corporate ecological footprints rather than the footprints of nations or individuals. Globalization has meant the distancing of cause and effect, source and sink, so that the pollution and human exploitation caused in the production and transport of goods has remained invisible and opaque to consumers.

How can further troubles not come into being when a vicious globalized capitalism system is in existence for which maximal profits, not people and their needs, is always the overriding goal? The global socioeconomic system of capitalism is forcing us to work harder to surpass previous consumption and population numbers until we have devoured everything that maintains life, ending up with a polluted, lifeless, and scorched planet.

Although the yearning for peace is deep-seated, it has never been achieved during civilisation due to its competitive nature. If we keep capitalism, the ultimate in competitiveness, it will finish us. Peace can’t be attained with military force; one can’t fight for peace or for cooperation. Peace is now possible because we have to have it to survive. People have the intellectual and the emotional ability to work out the multitude of changes to enable us to be fully social and survive, if it’s our goal.

In a multicivilizational world, there are core values which different ethnic and religious societies have in common. The constructive course is to renounce global culture, accept diversity, and seek commonalities. Commonalities exist between Asia and the West. Whatever the degree to which humankind is divided, the world's major religions, Western Christianity, Orthodoxy, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, also share key values in common. A more inclusive Global Civilizational State can emerge gradually through the exploration and expansion of these commonalities. Peace in a multicivilizational world is the finding of those commonalities and so peoples in all civilizations should search for and attempt to expand the values, institutions, and practices they have in common with peoples of other civilizations.

What would be the shape and fundamental goals of an expansive anti-capitalist movement against extinction and for Environmental Justice? It would have to commence with open recognition by the developed nations of the long history of ecocide.Such an admission would lead to a consequent recognition of the biodiversity debt owed by the wealthy nations of the global North to the South. Building on the demands articulated by the climate justice movement, the anti-capitalist conservation movement must demand the repayment of this biodiversity debt. When we study the human behaviour, specially the people of the European Union, and people living closely to the EU, three fundamental types of behaviour can be distinguished: the purely practical, the theoretical-practical, and the purely theoretical.

These three types of behaviour have three different reasons: the first a determining reason, the second a motivating reason, and the third a supporting reason. Over the past decades and centuries, they have behaved as if the world belongs to them, and were borned to lead the world. They fought one another and/or got together to show they were are not afraid to be the one who wins a country in a war, subdues or subjugates a people, or overcomes an adversary. They have been constantly at war. And even Adolf Hitler has showed the perfect behaviour and had no respect for diplomacy. He had no respect to keep good relations between the governments of different countries. He had no skill in dealing with others and governments without causing conflicts and wars.

One of the most important – but often forgotten – elements of customer experience is that it’s all about human beings. Customers are human beings, employees are human beings, and executives are human beings. So to improve customer experience, you need to first understand and embrace how people actually think and behave.

As Moscow's war in Ukraine rages on, with deadly shelling on cities along the front lines and more clashes in hot spots in southern Ukraine, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, showed no need to use diplomacy to save his country from being detroyed and his citizens from being killed. NATO and the USA, along with the EU, are expected to help as if wars was the way to solve problems. This is the kind of behaviour these people from the EU have been using between themselves over the past centuries. War is the answer to their problems.

When intelligent peoples study global problems, the best solutions to problems are not the destruction of the environment. Climate change has caused increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks. In turn, these changes have made wildfires more numerous and severe. The warming climate has also caused a decline in water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, and triggered heat-related health impacts in cities.

Intriguingly, piranhas bark or grunt when they feel defensive and are afraid of humans like other small fish. Although these sea creatures rarely attack humans, they become more aggressive and bite when food is scarce, and waters are low in dry seasons. They will attack humans. And that is what the people from the EU nations are doing.

By the conventional definition, there are 44 sovereign states or nations in Europe. Not included are several countries namely Turkey, which occupies only a small part of East Thrace on the European Balkan Peninsula. Over the past centuries, all of the European nations have been fighting each other or fighting with each other. Diplomacy was never a part of their DNA. They would rather behave like Piranhas. They get together to either fight one another or fight foreigners. Again like Piranhas do.

A legally imposed contraction of the fossil energy supply and a rapid global conversion to renewable energy is a necessary step toward saving our world, Earth. So what should society do to avoid the worst impacts of climate change? Capitalism is based on ceaseless compound growth that is destroying ecosystems the world over, the goal in the rich nations of the global North must be to overturn our present expansionary system by fostering de-growth. Most importantly, nations that have benefited from burning fossil fuels must radically cut their carbon emissions in order to stem the lurch towards runaway climate chaos that endangers the vast majority of current terrestrial forms of life.

To become great again, the US parlayed the world’s largest national debt, its trade deficit, budget deficit, capital account deficit and savings rate deficit, into a position in the global driver seat through the dollar remaining global hub currency.  Unemployment in the USA is very low and the economy seems great only because the USA Government is having a 21 trillion dollars debt to create jobs and subsidize its industrial complex, especially its corporate military industry which actually employs more than half of America's population. This 21 trillion dollars is mostly obtained from China and handed over to the USA Federal Reserve to help America create jobs in America. Naturally, the more the dollar was used in the world, the more America had the power to spend on the military. For the US, paying a bill of 6 trillion dollars (this is the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) has been effortless, and this constitutes an unparalleled advantage over countries like China and Russia whose military spending in comparison is a fifth and a tenth respectively. 

The main source of economic reliability in America was transferred over time from gold to dollars, specifically to US treasury bills. This major shift allowed the Federal Reserve to print dollars practically without limit (as seen in recent years with interests rates for borrowing money from the FED at around 0%), well aware that the demand for dollars would never cease, this also keeping alive huge sectors of private and public enterprises such as the coal industry, fracking industry, car manufacturing, food and farming industries, and most importantly the military industry which has always giving jobs to more than half of America's population. No wonder President Trump, and several USA Presidents before him, have been claiming the lowest unemployment rate because more than half of America population works for the war industry, the industry that has produced most of the greenhouse gases globally at the expenses of the global life-support systems. This set a course for a global economic system based on financial instruments like derivatives and other securities instead of real, tangible goods like gold. In doing this for its own benefit, the US has created the conditions for a new financial bubble that could bring down the entire world economy when it bursts.

The United States found itself in the enviable position of being able to print pieces of paper (simply IOU’s) without any gold backing and then exchange them for real goods from other nations.  This economic arrangement has allowed America to achieve an unparalleled strategic advantage over its geopolitical opponents (initially the USSR, now Russia and China), namely, a practically unlimited dollar spending capacity even as it accumulates an astronomical public debt (over 21 trillion dollars). The destabilizing factor for the global economy has been America's ability to accumulate enormous amounts of public debt without having to worry about the consequences or even of any possible mistrust international markets may have for the dollar. Countries simply needed dollars for trade and bought US treasures to diversify their financial assets. 

The primary goal of the developed nations must be to overturn the present expansionary economic system based on capitalism by fostering de-growth and creating steady state societies founded on principles of equality and environmental justice.

Most importantly, nations that have benefited from burning fossil fuels must radically cut their carbon emissions in order to stop the climate chaos that endangers the vast majority of current terrestrial forms of life.

Let us now define what economic system should be used to govern our planet. What would be best is a "democratic socialism plus". The "plus" means added essential elements for governing sustainably. For instance, people would have free health care, free education at all levels, and employment for everyone. People would control and manage natural resources at all stages: exploration, production, transportation, manufacturing and distribution. A Global Trade and Resource Ministry would be formed to look after the management of naturel resources worlwide.

"Democratic socialism plus" advocates that the control and management of natural resources be under the control of the people. The 1 % super rich people worldwide who thrive within capitalism, must be overthrown. This new way of governing can be achieve through legitimate democratic means by voting in a party that represents this way of governing. "Democratic socialism plus" implies public owership, not private ownership of natural resources.

Because of the limited quantities of Earth resources to be made available for this generation and the next ones, and because of environmental, climate change, and world population concerns, there is a need to manage the entire process of using Earth natural resources. And we all know that the amount of oil left in the ground in the world has already passed its peak quantity. So why waste the oil on doing things we know are nothing but a waste of energy and often used for destruction and certainly will shorten the life span of the next generations. A Global Trade and Resources Ministry is needed to look after the management of Earth resources and trade at all stages: exploration, production, transportation, manufacturing and distribution.

The quality of Earth governance is reflected in each local community worldwide. Global Community will show leadership by creating a global civil ethic within our ways of life. Global Constitution describes all values needed for good global governance: mutual respect, tolerance, respect for life, justice for all everywhere, integrity, and caring. The Scale of global Rights has become an inner truth and the benchmark of the millennium in how everyone sees all those values.

Earth environmental governance can only be achieved successfully within the larger context of sustainable developent and Earth management. All aspects are inter-related and affect one another. A healthy environment is essential to long term prosperity and well-being of Global Community citizens. That demands a high level of ecological protection. This is the 'raison d'etre' of the Scale of Global Rights.

Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as human beings: to live, eat, drink fresh water, breath clean air, and have shelter. These rights are separate categories than ecological rights, the right of the greatest number of people, economic rights, social rights, cultural rights and religious rights. Ecological and primordial human rights are the only rights that have existed unchanged throughout the evolutionary origin of our species. Any major change would have threatened our very existence. All other human rights listed here are rights created by human beings and can be changed depending of new circumstances; they are not stagnant but are rather flexible and adaptive, and they can evolve. Ecological and primordial human rights of this generation and of future generations are therefore much more important than any other human rights existing now and in the future.

In this way the Scale of Global Rights gives us a sense of direction for future planning and managing of the Earth. Earth management is now well defined and becomes a goal to achieve. We no longer waste energy and resources in things that are absolutely unimportant. It has also become a necessity of establishing the Global Trade and Resources Ministry that will be assessing, compiling, managing and protecting Earth resources, and the Earth Court of Justice prosecuting cases involving crimes related to the relentless misused of the Earth resources.

It's time for us to come to terms with reality. We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and fewer material goods. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. The world is in global crisis and a planetary state of emergency. We are exploiting our natural resources, minerals and fuels faster than we are gaining access to alternative sources. We are polluting the natural environment faster than the environment can regenerate itself to reach the level suitable for human needs. We are changing the global climate dangerously. Our attitude and way of life show a moral degradation toward the existing forms of life on the planet. It's time for us to protect what is left to protect: life itself on Earth. This was the reason for the creation of a planetary biodiversity zone.

Global Civilizational State has shown the benefits of biodiversity to humanity and hope this approach will motivate others to help create the zone.

The stewardship of the ecological base has to be given priority before the fulfilment of various economic and social wishes. All families need shelter, food, language, body of knowledge, certain skills, a source of income. Security of the home is an important aspect for any family and Global Civilizational State it belongs to. Primordial human needs raise the question of interacting universal responsibilities. In terms of parenthood, parents must raised their children mentally and physically healthy. It is a responsibility to do so. Which also means each local community must have an educational system to help parents raise the child. On the Scale of Global Rights primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems and of ecological rights are on top of the Scale. They are the most important aspects on the Scale.

As global crises of all sorts further intensify, the Global Community may have no alternative but to show solidarity and help each other out of crises, and such solidarity can only be built on the basis of harmony and moderation, and on respecting the political and cultural diversity of this troubled world. A successful Global Civilizational State for all life on Earth is on the horizon. Let us lead the world toward a Global Civilizational State.

Yet, the main reason that the whole mess will be curbed is a simple one: infinite growth, whether economic growth or population growth, cannot continue indefinitely. Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist. Accordingly, one can envision that a crash is coming. In large measure, it's because environmental tipping points are already on the way and, for those people in the worst locations for the collapse -- the desperation, conflicts and chaos will likely be horrific in scale and ferocity.

How could they not be when our governments worldwide and the status quo do not encourage our transitioning to a steady state economy, business based on regionalized commerce and a cooperative inclusive economic arrangement rather than out of control global competition, "democratic socialism plus" rather than capitalism? How can further troubles not come into being when a vicious globalized capitalism system is in existence for which maximal profits, not people and their needs, is always the overriding goal? Despite its desirably from many standpoints, how can an alternative scheme be put in place when it bumps up against the prevailing paradigm and the corporatists -- the powerful über-elites that control the gargantuan transnational companies and our fawning government toadies?

Earth has long been waiting for a truly global governing body based on universal values, global rights, global concepts and democracy. We might as well start this new way of doing things creating process now, there is no longer any reason to wait. But then Global Civilizational State is already here. As never before in history, common destiny beckons us to seek a new beginning. It requires a new sense of global interdependence and universal responsibility. We must develop and apply the vision of a sustainable way of life locally, nationally, regionally, globally, and within ourselves throughout life. Our cultural diversity is a precious heritage and different cultures will find their own distinctive ways to realize the vision.

Global Civilizational State has now a Vision of the Earth in Year 2024 and a sense of direction. Global Civilizational State embarks on a new path in history, the inevitability of global societies living, sharing, and creating symbiotical relationships interactively is, beyond doubt, that which we must confront. Our creativity today may influence tomorrow's socio-economic strategies and contribute to the evolution of human societies - an evolution directed towards a global partnership and cooperation with each other for survival.

In order to build a sustainable global community, each individual, each local community, and national governments of the world must initiate their commitment to Global Civilizational State. Global Civilizational State was defined as a social, and political movement in the sense of having a broad organizational structure and an ideology aimed at governing. The environmental movement, within Global Civilizational State, expresses the concerns of groups of people regarding depletion of water, clean air, climate change aspects, degradation of land and other changes in ecosystems affecting traditional patterns of natural resources exploitation . Global Civilizational State has taken the role of helping these groups in protecting and managing the environment by coordinating their efforts.

Global Civilizational State is aware that religious beliefs, traditional customs and standards could burden the sustainability of all life on Earth. They could burden Earth society or any society forever, and holds individuals in a straitjacket. We cannot accept that. No one can! There are choices to be made, and we must make them. Cultures can develop and can go on developing. Even religious beliefs may evolve. We are living now, and we are able to create these changes. We are at least as bright, most certainly brighter, than the people who were living thousand of years ago.

Global Civilizational State opposes environmental, economic, population and military warfares. Global Civilizational State was first to oppose any type of invasion of a people by another people. An invasion is either an environmental, economic, population or military offensive in which large numbers of combatants of one geopolitical entity aggressively enter territory owned by another such entity, generally with the objective of either conquering; liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory; forcing the partition of a country; altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government; or a combination thereof.

An invasion can be the cause of a war, be a part of a larger strategy to end a war, or it can constitute an entire war in itself. Due to the large scale of the operations associated with invasions, they are usually strategic in planning and execution. Global Civilizational State has been witnessing such different types of walfares for decades. And now is time to stop all types of invasion no matter what they maybe.

Overpopulation worlwide is a crisis. Everyone is responsible and are required now by Global Civilizational State to follow Global Law as defined and developed by Global Community.

Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth. Humanity needs to slow down significantly world population. This 21st century is very crucial for humanity as it will determine our survival or not as a species and, consequently, the survival of the next generations. It is now increasingly evident that only by sharing the world's natural resources more equitably and sustainably will we be able to address both the ecological and social crisis we face as Global Civilizational State. This does not imply that a section of the world population whose idea of survival is to have many children and Global Community would see that they are given all social services needed for survival.

No! There are global laws concerning procreation and everyone is required not to have more than 1.3 children per family in a given population. Global population warfare is not permitted, much like military and economic warfares in the world today. All other life species than human are also part of Global Community and their population will also be protected for their own survival. 

Population warfare definition makes use of a very high fertility rate to conquer a nation, and that could mean as many as or more than 2.11 children per family. It is a form of cultural and/or religious aggression and invasion by having a much too high number of new born babies. For instance, there has been a rapid increase in population among Muslims to the extent that in fifty years all of Europe and North America are expected to be mostly Islamic. The influx of Latino immigration into the western states of the USA will also have the effect of a population warfare.

Moratorium on world population and the fertility rate, and ending population warfare.  Moratorium on world population and the fertility rate and ending population warfare

Clearly the environmental challenges facing humanity in this century and beyond would be less difficult in a world with slower population growth or none at all.

Population is a critical variable influencing the availability of each of the natural resources considered here. And access to family planning services is a critical variable influencing population. Use of family planning contributes powerfully to lower fertility, later childbearing, and slower population growth. Yet policymakers, environmentalists and the general public remain largely unaware of the growing interest of young people throughout the world in delaying pregnancies and planning their families. In greater proportions than ever, girls want to go to school and to college, and women want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country to obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to end world population growth in the new century.

Ministry of Global Peace in government

Over the past decades we have shown that peace in the world and the survival and protection of all life on our planet go hand in hand. Asking for peace in the world means doing whatever is necessary to protect life on our planet. Protecting life implies bringing about the event of peace in the world. Let our time be a time remembered for a new respect for life, our determination to achieve sustainability, and our need for global justice and peace.

Our Global Peace Mouvement is about the courage to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and global sustainability being some of them.

Soul of all Life said in Global Peace Earth "Soul of all Life teaching about Peace: Introduction"

Peace is being who you are without fear. It is the "being who you are" who must be taught a value based on principles to live by. Only principles described in Global Law are necessary and required to attain Peace in the world.

Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Scale of Global Rights.

In the context of the global civilization of the 3rd Millennium, we have defined that any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour.The question is how can we improve the political symbiotical relationship to fulfill the fundamental criteria? Global Community promotes the values and principles to achieve the fundamental criteria and that requires the promoting and establishment of: global community ethics, mutual respect, respect for life, basic liberties, justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility and accountability.

Other symbiotical relationships may be based on common concerns and issues such as: the environment, peace, justice, women's rights, human and Earth rights, and many more. There is a whole spectrum of possible symbiotical relationships.

Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth.

Certainly it is better to seek an economic relationship with another nation we can trust than with a hundred nations we have no control on and everyone of those nations has a say in the governing of our nation, its environment and social structure.

The best way and solution for any nation is to follow the Scale of Global Rights. Right on top of the scale are the ecological rights, the global life-support systems, and the primordial human rights of this generation and of the next generations.

Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces,communities, nations, and businesses.

Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces,communities, nations, and businesses. We are alsoproposing the formation of a political symbiotical relationship between state and global civil society. A similar relationship alreadyexists between the people of Global Community, also known as the human family, the global civil society.

Global Community ethics offer fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards. You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all human beings regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color or religion. Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear. Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights.

To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance. The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. So now Global Community ethics includes a process based on Scale of Global Rights. Global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. Global Community ethical grounds are practical, real, and applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.

Global Civilizational State: the application of the Scale of Global Rights to the most important global issues threatening humanity's survival worldwide.

Let us lead the world toward Global Civilizational State for education, Justice, protection of life on Earth, and for new ways of doing business and trade, in global development, and in the management of global resources.

A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.

A global symbiotical relationship is created between Nations and Global Parliament for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development. This is the basic concept that is allowing us to group willing Member Nations from different parts of the world. A typical example is the Global Government of North America (GGNA) . Member Nations of these global governments have not yet been selected. Each Nation Government needs to go through the process of a referendum asking people if they wish to be a part of a Global Government, and which is it they wish to be part of. For instance, Canada may wish to be part of the Global Government of South America. A referendum in Canada would determine the Global Government the people of Canada wish to belong to. Global Parliament does not force anyone to belong in any specific Global Government.

The Global Government of North America (GCNA) Emergency, Rescue and Relief Centre is vigilant and quick in helping all life in need of help. For the protection of those global communities we will need to create a biodiversity zone in the North by way of Earth rights and taxation of natural resources. Global Community is defined around a given territory, that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population, which is Global Community .

There is a need to develop a voting system ff to elect representatives to form a democratically elected Earth Government. Every person in the world can claim the birth right of electing a democratic government to manage Earth: the rights to vote and elect representatives to form the Earth Government. They are our human rights! Each and everyone of us on Earth was born free and equal in dignity and rights. Respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms is one of the characteristics of a democracy. The typical fundamental freedoms of a democracy (freedom of expression, thought, assembly, and association) are themselves part of human rights. These freedoms can exist everywhere. Democracy is a political system based on the participation of the people. It foresees the separation of powers among the judiciary, the legislative and the executive authorities, as well as free and regular elections.

Universal health care, education, retirement security and employment services to every Global Community citizen.

Implemented through Global Civilizational State with built-in mechanisms for optimum input and oversight guaranteed to all member-states, Global Community offers a practicable starting point for achieving:

(a)     a healthful, sustainable environment for every global community citizen,

(b)     universal health care, publicly supported,

(c)     education for all based upon individual capability,

(d)     creative/productive employment for every global community citizen, and

(e)     post-retirement security.

This effort will lead over time to an escalation of human values and symbiotical relationships transcending money centered economics.

Worldwide, infectious diseases are the leading cause of death in children and adolescents and one of the top three causes of death in adults, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). One estimate puts the number of identified infectious diseases at 100,000 worldwide. While there are cures and treatments for most diseases we know of, most deaths occur because such remedies are not available to populations with the greatest needs.

Most diseases are contained within the regions where they originate, but there have been numerous pandemics – infectious diseases that spread throughout multiple populations and across multiple regions – that have caused global human health concerns.

But it is the really super potent diseases that we have yet to discover – or strains of known diseases that can rapidly spread throughout all populations and can be transmitted by air, water and food – that would have a devastating impact on humans and all life as we know it. Covid-19 has its variants that could well over-power the vaccines made for its original strains. But there are more virulent threats that could make Covid-19 seem like a mere common cold.

Take superbugs, for instance, strains of bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics and known effective treatments. There is also the zika virus for which the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has declared no vaccine or preventative drug is available to treat it. All these diseases are easily transmitted throughout human populations and can easily mutate into massive strains and impact significantly large populations of humans.

Then there are the diseases which are in the evolutionary stage and can emerge at any time for which humans may have no answer. Humans are already in protect mode with regard to the world’s deadliest diseases, and we attempt to prepare for any eventuality, spending billions of dollars each year on cures, treatments and preventive research. But, as the saying goes, we are only human.

  • Global Environment Ministry  Ministry of Global Environment

This issue is usually listed as the number one environmental issue of all. And for good, solid reasons. Our human population trends away from sustainability and continues to place strains on systems and resources that people depend on to live healthy lives and survive.

Global Community is calling for the immediate formation of the Earth Ministry of Health. The globalization of trade, the extensive movement of people all over the world, the increase of poverty and diseases in developing countries and all over the world, have caused pathogens and exotic diseases to migrate over enormous distances and now, are an increasing threat to local ecosystems and communities, economies and health of every human being and all life.

Global Community is calling this threat of the upmost importance and must be dealt with immediately by every nation. We must manage health in the world. We are calling for the immediate creation of the Earth Ministry of Health. The Earth Ministry of Health is needed to reduce the threat of new and reemerging diseases and immune micro-organisms. SAR is certainly a new emerging global threat and must be managed before it becomes widespread. There are several factors indicating the need for new global changes in the area of health:


* larger populations of mal-nourished and undereducated people living in substandard housing, unhealthy environmental conditions and inadequate health services, and poor water supply and sanitation
* rapid increase in international air travel
* globalization of trade
* lowering of standards in the production, handling, and processing of food have heightened the risk of food-borne diseases
* environmental factors and activities such as deforestation, conflict, tourism and migration into remote habitats have increased exposure to disease

Global Community is asking nation governments to give their support for the network of collaborating laboratories managed by the World Health Organization (WHO). We are proposing to expand WHO's mandate to include:

* a global surveillance system
* an emergency section capable of responding to outbreaks of infectious disease anywhere in the world
* a more efficient vaccines program
* research into advanced-generations of antibiotics * help governments put in place policies to improve the management of medical and public health resources, and to monitor these policies.

* AIDS awareness programs have to become far more aggressive. AIDS is the leading cause of death in the sub-Saharan Africa and is now spreading rapidly in Central/Southern Asia and Eastern Europe. Local delivery of anti-retrovirus medicine to developing countries is very difficult.

* bioterrorism is a threat just as important as a nuclear war and a section of this global ministry must be prepared to respond quickly and efficiently.

* more research is needed to understand and respond to infectious diseases. Immunization rates are declining in low-income and middle-income countries. There are more than 30 new and highly infectious diseases that have been identified, such as Ebola and AIDS, and there are no treatment, cure, or vaccine.

* more research is needed in 20 known strains of diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and malaria which have developed resistance to antibiotics due to the widespread use and misuse of these drugs.

* more research is needed in old diseases such as cholera, plague, meningitis, diphtheria, dengue fever, hemorrhagic fever, and yellow fever as they have reappeared as public health threats after years of decline.

Health problems are often directly related to consequences of climate change and global warming include health conditions caused by changes in humidity, temperature, and nutritional deficiencies originating from insufficient crops and irrigation. Additional health care problems as a result of possible demographic movements include waterborne-diseases, and health conditions such as skin cancer due to increased UV radiation caused by ozone depletion. Emissions from fossil fuel combustion such as CO and Pb (lead) may affect humans adversely, and gases SO2 and NOX and particulate matter can cause respiratory illnesses.

Global Community is calling for the immediate formation of the Earth Ministry of Health. The globalization of trade, the extensive mouvement of people all over the world, the increase of poverty and diseases in developing countries and all over the world, have caused pathogens and exotic diseases to migrate over enormous distances and now, are an increasing threat to local ecosystems and communities, economies and health of every human being and all life. Global Community, is calling this threat of the upmost importance and must be dealt with immediately by every nation. We must manage health in the world. We are calling for the immediate creation of the Earth Ministry of Health . Formation of a Global Ministry of Environmental Health.

Governance of the Earth by Global Parliament will make the rule of arbitrary power--economic (WTO, FTAA, TPPA, BRICS, EU, etc.), political, or military (NATO)-- subjected to the rule of law within the global civil society, the human family. Justice is for everyone and is everywhere, a universal constant. Justice is without borders.

The Federation of Global Government is the place of meeting between Global Governments. Global Civilizational State offers a more meaningful union than the United Nations in the form of nine or more Global Governments such as Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean, Asia, Oceania, the Middle-East, and South-East Asia. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade, but also with the environment, health, agriculture, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects. The very first step of the Federation, and maybe the only one for several decades ahead of us, would be the approval of essential services amongst the participating member nations. We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region, and to all life on Earth.

We can do better united as a Global Government, a Global Parliament, the Global Civilizational State: a new world to build, and a future to share and protect together.

Let us all be united as a Federation of 9 or more Global Governmewnts.

As a replacement to the United Nations, we have formed Global Parliament with 9 or more Global Governments (GGs) and an enforceable, non-military democratic Global Constitution for all. Governing bodies consist of four chambers making the Global Parliament: 

1.  House of Elected Representatives
2.  House of Advisers
3.    House of Executive Council, and
4.    Federation of Global Governments



The power of Global Parliament was de-centralized to give each GG a better chance to find the right solutions to global issues. It can act faster and be more effective and efficient in the context of the Global Civilizational State, this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities within each Nation. Global Community becomes thus more fluid and dynamic.

Earth Environmental Governance can only be achieved successfully within the larger context of Sustainable Development and Earth Management. All aspects are inter-related and affect one another. A healthy environment is essential to long term prosperity and well-being of Global Community citizens. That demands a high level of ecological protection. This is the 'raison d'etre' of the Scale of Global Rights.

The very first step of the Federation, and maybe the only one for several decades ahead of us, would be the approval of essential services amongst the participating member nations. We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region,and to all life on Earth. Global Community has researched and developed such services and listed them here. All of them are already in operation on a small scale.

Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA); World Trade Organization (WTO); North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA; 1994); the USMCA which took effect on July 1, 2020, replacing NAFTA; Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA); Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement (1988, suspended by NFTAA); Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS); European Union (EU); and many more international trade agreements between nations. All international trade agreements must be administered by the Global Trade and Resources Ministry and the Global Ministry of Essential Services as institutionalized by Global Parliament.

Today's international trade agreements are obsolete and primitive. They are formed to make a few people on the planet rich and creating a world of overconsumption and wastfully degrading the planet's resources and environment. Let us walk into a sustainable future. Let us first define what we mean by "Global Protection Agency (GPA)", and of course what we mean by "essential services" in the global context of humanity.

We have the responsibility of managing Earth. The Earth ecosystem is so fragile that we have to manage it together wisely. Souls and SoulLife want to help us to manage Earth. They want to help us!

Why would the Soul of Humanity want to help us? A very simple answer! Throughout our human history we have left behind too many dead bodies, and too much destruction. Everytime a lifeform dies because of us, a Soul lost a physical form to serve SoulLife.

Earth was hurt! All Souls on Earth have unified, and they are now called the Soul of Humanity. Souls can evolve and can do a lot to heal humanity. They will resolve problems, concerns and issues peacefully. They will reinstate the respect for Earth and work together to keep Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things. They have joined forces to bring forth a sustainable global society embracing universal values related to human rights, economic and social justice, respect of nature, peace, responsibility to one another, and the protection and management of the Earth.

Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within Global Community . When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.

The worst environmental degradation happens in wars. Farm products in fields and livestock are abandoned, there is no more control on toxic wastes, and water, air,and land are polluted. People are displaced and feel no longer responsible for the quality of life in their communities. Historically, the industrialized nationshave caused the most damage to the environment, with their careless technology and policies. Emissions from factories and vehicles have causedozone depletion and acid rain.

Global Community faith is about realizing this new global order will be better, safer, and more realistic after replacing the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights.

To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance.

The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. So now Global Community ethics includes a process based on Scale of Global Rights. Global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth. Global Community ethical grounds are practical, real, and applicable for all women and men of good will, religious and non-religious.

In 1985, Scale of Global Rights (.mp4 (20 MB) Scale of Global Rights) was first proposed as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. After several decades of research and development, many global dialogues, we still find the Scale as the best solution to global problems. Today, we are presenting once more the Scale as the best educating tool to bring about the change the people of the world need to achieve for their own survival.

Global Community offers both a short term solution and a long term solution to the people of all nations. Both solutions have been integrated into the Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights, itself a necessary first step which must be approved by all of us.

Scale of Global Rights contains six (6) sections. Section 1 has more importance than all other sections below, and so on. Concerning sections 1, 2, and 3, it shall be Global Civilization highest priority to guarantee these rights to their respective Member Nations and to have proper legislation andimplement and enforce global law as it applies and as shown in the Global Constitution.

The Scale is a balancing process to sustain all life on the planet now and future generations

Concerning sections 1, 2, and 3, it shall be Global Community highest priority to guarantee these rights to Member Nations and to have proper lesgislation and implement and enforce global law as it applies.

Section  1.    Ecological rights and the protection of the global life-support systems

Section  2.    Primordial human rights

  •     safety and security
  •     have shelter
  •     'clean' energy
  •     'clean' and healthy environment
  •     drink fresh water
  •     breath clean air
  •     eat a balance diet
  •     basic clothing
  •     universal health care and education
  •     employment for all

Section  3.    The ecological rights, the protection of the global life-support systems and the primordial human rights of future generations

Concerning Sections 4, 5 and 6, it shall be the aim of Global Community to secure these other rights for all global citizens within the federation of all nations, but without immediate guarantee of universal achievement and enforcement. These rights are defined as Directive Principles, obligating Global Community to pursue every reasonable means for universal realization and implementation.

Section  4.    Community rights, rights of direct democracy, the right that the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number (50% plus one) and after voting representatives democratically.

Section  5.    Economic rights (business and consumer rights, and their responsibilities and accountabilities) and social rights (civil and political rights)

Section  6.    Cultural rights and religious rights

Scale of Global Rights definition

Definition of the Scale of Global Rights Scale of Global Rights Human and Earth rights Scale of Global Rights Chapter X   of the Global Parliament Constitution  is about the  Scale of Human and Earth Rights

On the Scale of Global Rights primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems (ecological rights) are on top of the Scale. They are the most important aspects on the Scale. For instance, the existing and future uses of water are constantly challenged; balancing supply and demand is made even harder by the amounts of pollution found in the air, land and waters. A large part of our body is made of water, and we cannot live without water; therefore water is a primordial human right by our very nature.

Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as human beings: to live, eat, drink fresh water, breath clean air, and have shelter. These rights are separate categories than ecological rights, the right of the greatest number of people, economic rights, social rights, cultural rights and religious rights.

Ecological and primordial human rights are the only rights that have existed unchanged throughout the evolutionary origin of our species. Any major change would have threatened our very existence. All other human rights are rights created by human beings and can be changed depending of new circumstances; they are not stagnant but are rather flexible and adaptive, and they can evolve. Ecological and primordial human rights of this generation and of future generations are therefore much more important than any other human rights existing now and in the future.

In this way the Scale of Global Rights gives us a sense of direction for future planning and managing of the Earth. Earth management is now well defined and becomes a goal to achieve. We no longer waste energy and resources in doing things that are absolutely unimportant. So it has become a necessity to establish the Ministry of Global Resources that will be assessing, compiling, managing, protecting and distributing Earth resources, and the Earth Court of Justice prosecuting cases involving crimes related to the relentless misused of the Earth resources.

In order to avoid conflicts and wars over drinking (fresh)water, fresh water has been categorized as a primordial human right. Industrial pollution plays a major role in the deterioration of nature but this time the level of pollution is above the carrying capacity of a healthy ecosystem. Pollution also affects significantly human health and all lifeforms on Earth. Every person needs Oxygen to live so clean air is certainly also a primordial human right by our very nature.

Control over the amounts of greengases produced by human activities and let go into our air must be paramount to governance and management of Earth.The production of greengases involves the destruction of the Oxygen in our air and its replacement by CO2, a deadly chemical. CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have been measured at an altitude of about 4,000 meters on the peak of Mauna Loa mountain in Hawaii since 1958. The measurements at this location, remote from local sources of pollution, have clearly shown that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are increasing. The mean concentration of approximately 316 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in 1958 rose to approximately 369 ppmv in 1998. The annual variation is due to CO2 uptake by growing plants. The uptake is highest in the northern hemisphere springtime.

Today in 2022, the concentration is more than 460 ppmv. And after all the dirty tars sands oil of Alberta has been consumed, the concentration will be over 600 ppmv, i.e. the end of civilization as we know it, and the end of most lifeforms on the planet.

Human beings have a moral obligation to protect and conserve the biodiversity of life on Earth. The Global Constitution shows us how it can be done with Global Law, the Earth Court of Justice, and how the Global Protection Agency (GPA) and the Agency of Global Police (AGP) can protect the territory. Global Community Arrest Warrants can be issued to anyone breaking Global Law.

Leaders of the wealthier nations must be willing to accept responsibility for past mistakes and to help pay the financial burden for environmental protection of the developing nations. This is the most damaging conflict of interests between the rich industrialized countries and those that are poor and struggling just for existence. Global Community must help wealthy and poorer nations reach a better understanding of each other's needs.

All aspects are interrelated: peace, human rights and the environment. The poor is more concerned with ending starvation, finding a proper shelter and employment, and helping their children to survive. Environmental issues become meaningless to the poor. In reality, all concerns are interrelated. As soon as the environment is destroyed beyond repair, human suffering is next. Ecology has no boundaries. All nations suffer the effects ofair pollution, global warming, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, acid rain, ozone depletion, silting of streams, and countless of other environmental problems. This was the reason for proposing the Scale of Global Rights to Global Community.

Global Community ethics offer fundamental moral behaviors and irrevocable standards.You need not be religious to make this vision yours. This vision is for all human beings regardless of their social origin, language, culture, sex, skin color or religion.Global Community vision creates new hopes, standards, ideals and goals for everyone to embrace freely, and live a life without fear.

There are a large body of work of articles, papers and reports concerning the need to protect our environment and Global life-support systems. We are showing here a few.



It is the same idea for any consumer product. You manufacture, produce, farm or createa product, you become responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible forthe proper disposable of the waste).

People in our society often argue that their manufacturing products and the trading principles or rules that regulate their actions are all legal! But what about ethical values and moral principles?!

Climate change is definitely at the top of the most global important issues facing our planet today. While this issue primarily focuses on global warming, changes in precipitation, air quality, biodiversity, “habitable” zones and many other areas are part of and affected by climate change. However, it is extreme global climate change that would result in epic disruption if not outright decimation of the human species and most life as we know it today. We have already seen the death and destruction wreaked by monster typhoons and hurricanes, unexpected volcanic activity, monsoons, extreme heat and extreme cold systems.

History has demonstrated for over three billion years that life can adapt and new species can and will evolve, including humans. Humans are highly adaptable, and they are roaming and nomadic. The same goes for many lifeforms – fauna and flora — which we have seen migrate as weather conditions and trends change. There are other earth-threatening phenomena that pose far greater challenges to humanity than global climate change.

With Earth’s hottest temperatures normally hovering at 115°F (46.1°C) and reaching as high as 136°F (57.8°C) in the middle east and western portions of the United States and the coldest temperatures averaging around -50°F in Asia where humans live, there is potential for that perfect storm to trigger multiple extreme weather conditions worldwide. Still humans may survive, but the species could be seriously emaciated and unable to sustain itself.

The global tipping points of greatest concerns and the emergence and spread of deadly pathogens.

Our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global Life-support systems. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for a sound Global Civilizational State leadership.

Now Global Community claims that all Lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all Lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of all Lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western world (and in contrast with certain Eastern traditions) Lifeforms other than human beings have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created "animals" for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens must have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other Lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.

Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts, and Global Community ethics can help to resolve conflicts. Global Civilizational State proposes that such conflicts be resolved without violence and within a framework of justice. People must commit themselves to the most nonviolent, peaceful solutions possible. This is the pathway to global peace.

Environmental problems have contributed to numerous collapses of civilizations in the past. Now, for the first time, a global collapse appears likely and global warming, overpopulation, overconsumption by the rich and poor choices of technologies are major drivers; dramatic cultural change provides the main hope of averting calamity.

In consequence of globalization, the new economic and political distribution of power around the world has become very different then we were used to. It has become very fluid, in perpetual motion and affected by global markets. Giant new markets are forming all over the world. Competition is hardening. National economies can no longer insure or guarantee rights of possession on any property. National borders no longer mean protection, security, cultural boundaries, resources ownership, political and economic control.

International market regulations try to control or ease the effects of globalization. The effects are often devastating. With globalization comes global problems such as:

    *    unemployment in industrial nations     

*    poverty increases world-wide ~ entire countries in a state of starvation    

*    environmental degradation    

*    national interests of a country changing and becoming more trade oriented and trying to go with the wave of global trade    

*    international interests of a country take prime importance    

*    in developing countries, national debts constrict the institutions of the national state and contribute to the destruction of the economic activity which, in turn, as the effect of creating unemployment    

*    national currencies of many countries are affected by national debts and contribute in destroying social Life, creating ethnic conflicts and civil wars    

*   the large corporation is becoming larger and getting more power and control falls into the hands of a few people    

*   globalization is another way of keeping control on our lives in the hands of a few people    

*   with globalization, we have no control and no say in our future and the world becomes a game played by a few people just as it has alway been through history, leading to revolutions and war    

*   with globalization there is no sense of direction and meaning, no security for the individual, just a few people getting richer and controlling us all.

By 2100, the United Nations Population Division (UNPD) projects the human population will swell to as many as 11.3 billion people. The world human population reached one billion by 1804 and has increased seven-fold in the 200 years since. If humans take over all of Earth’s living surface, there will be no room to provide for itself, let alone room for any other living plant or animal populations.

But human population will never reach that point. If human populations continue to balloon unabated, it will essentially eradicate itself with disease, starvation, harmful and detrimental living conditions and psychological deterioration.

With so many people taking so much land that also is needed for biodiversity, agriculture and food production, transportation, healthy living and natural habitats, the question necessarily becomes, “What is going to give?”

Earth is finite. Earth’s resources are finite. So, populations cannot be infinite; however, the global population continues to grow, taking more and more land, using up more and more resources, demanding more and more energy and housing, and creating more and more humans. In this way, the human species is its own enemy, perhaps innocently, but an enemy nonetheless. Zero Population Growth is attainable and is even projected as early as 2150, but we just don’t know.

Clearly the environmental challenges facing humanity in this century and beyond would be less difficult in a world with slower population growth or none at all.

Population is a critical variable influencing the availability of each of the natural resources considered here. And access to family planning services is a critical variable influencing population. Use of family planning contributes powerfully to lower fertility, later childbearing, and slower population growth. Yet policymakers, environmentalists and the general public remain largely unaware of the growing interest of young people throughout the world in delaying pregnancies and planning their families. In greater proportions than ever, girls want to go to school and to college, and women want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country to obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to end world population growth in the new century.

Reproductive health services can help. Voluntary family planning and other reproductive health services can help couples avert high-risk pregnancies, prevent unwanted childbearing and abortion, and avoid diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, that can lead to death, disability, and infertility.

Comprehensive reproductive health services, especially care in pregnancy and childbirth and for sexually transmitted infections, are key to preventing disability and death and improving women's health. Better access to emergency care during childbirth and safe abortion services would also contribute significantly to lower maternal death rates. Family planning diminishes risks associated with frequent childbearing and helps reduce reliance on abortion.

An important obstacle to couple negotiation of contraceptive use and protection from STDs including HIV is that most women have unequal access to resources and decision-making. Yet women are more vulnerable to the consequences of unplanned pregnancies and often HIV/STI's. For these reasons, countering the prevailing gender stereotypes that increase risky behaviors and decrease couple communication is a key strategy for promoting good reproductive health.

Individuals, too, can help bring about a world that is more secure and more supportive of life, health and happiness. They can educate themselves on population dynamics, consumption patterns and the impact of these forces on natural resources and the environment. They can be socially, politically and culturally active to elevate the issues they care about. They can become more environmentally responsible in their purchasing decisions and their use of energy and natural resources. And individuals and couples can consider the impacts of their reproductive decisions on their communities and the world as a whole.

Population dynamics are among the primary underlying causes of forest decline. Poverty, corruption, inequitable access to land and wasteful consumption practices also influence the decisions of governments, corporations and individuals to cut and clear forests. The interaction of these forces is most evident in areas such as South Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty, rapid population growth and weak institutions contribute to forest loss and severe environmental degradation.

The dominant force in forest loss is growth in the demand for farmland. Subsistence agriculture is the principal cause of forest loss in Africa, Asia and much of Latin America. Slash-and-burn farming and other traditional techniques were sustainable for centuries when population densities were lower. Today they are a major factor, along with the expansion of commercial farms and livestock grazing areas, in the permanent conversion of wooded land to agriculture. The need to increase food production is expected to accelerate the forest-to-farmland cycle, especially in countries where alternatives for meeting this demand are limited.

A typical American uses 15 times as much lumber and paper as a resident of a developing country. Reducing wood consumption in the industrialized world is unlikely to stop forest loss in developing countries however, since most of the wood consumed comes from trees in the industrialized countries themselves. Nevertheless, the consumption model offered to the rest of the world threatens accelerated forest loss as both populations and economies grow in developing countries.

Population policies based on human development and the Scale of Global Rights offer the greatest hope for the future of forests. This is not an argument for population "control" but for the social investments that allow couples to choose when to have children and how many to have. Programs linking conservation activities with family planning services show promise for achieving both the sustainable use of forests and greater acceptance of reproductive health services.

Sustainable wood consumption is essential for the future of forests. Individuals and institutions alike should promote the ecologically sound and socially responsible use of forest products. Eco-labeling, or the environmental certification of wood products, could speed the adoption of more sustainable forestry practices. Consumer demand for green-certified paper and other wood products is an important complement to recycling and other efforts to reduce wood consumption.

The total number of people worldwide could still double or even triple from today’s 7.9 billion before stabilizing a century or more from now. Women in most countries are still having more than the two-child average consistent with a stable population size. Moreover, so many young people are now entering or moving through their childbearing years that even a two-child average would still boost population size for a few decades until the momentum of past growth subsides. Yet there is reason for optimism. The combination of access to family planning and other reproductive health services, education for girls and economic opportunity for women could lower birthrates enough to stabilize world population well before a doubling of today’s total.

Motivation, rather than differential access to modern contraception is a major determinant of fertility.  Individuals frequently respond to scarcity by having fewer children, and to perceived improved economic opportunity by having more children. Economic development does not cause family size to shrink; rather, at every point where serious economic opportunity beckons, family size preferences expand.

A)  Foreign aid conveys to the recipients the perception of improving economic wellbeing, which is followed by an increase in the fertility of the recipients of the aid.

B)  Migrations from regions of low economic opportunity to places of higher economic opportunity result in an increase in the fertility of the migrants that persists for a generation or two. The need is not to control population growth. Governments cannot control childbearing and attempts to do so have sometimes led to coercive approaches to reproduction that violate human rights. The need is rather to expand the power individuals have over their own lives, especially by enabling them to choose how many children to have and when to have them.

Investing in education for girls helps them to contribute to their national economies–and to postpone childbearing until they are ready for a family. Providing credit and other economic opportunities for women creates alternatives to early and frequent childbearing. Finally, better access to quality reproductive health services directly benefits women and their families. These approaches increase human capacity, providing the greatest long-term return to societies, individuals and the environment. Moreover, they are likely to lead to an early peak in world population in the coming century.

Comprehensive population policies are an essential element in a world development strategy that combines access to reproductive health services, to education and economic opportunities, to improved energy and natural resource technologies, and to healthyer models of consumption and the "good life." Policies to decrease world population:

  • delay reproduction until later in life Delaying reproduction is important in influencing population growth rates. Over a period of 60 years, if people delay reproduction until they are 30 years old, you would have only two generations, while if you do not delay reproduction you would have three generations (one generation every 20 years).

  • spread your children farther apart

  • to have fewer children overall

  • government commitment to decreasing population growth Create policies that help decreasing the number of children being born. Policies such as income tax deductions for dependent children and maternity and paternity leaves are essentially pronatalist and should be eliminated.

  • programs that are locally designed and that include information on family planning and access to contraceptives

  • educational programs that emphasize the connection between family planning and social good

The vast disparities in reproductive health worldwide and the greater vulnerability of the poor to reproductive risk point to several steps all governments can take, with the support of other sectors, to improve the health of women and their families:

  • Give women more life choices. The low social and economic status of women and girls sets the stage for poor reproductive health

  • Invest in reproductive health care

  • Encourage delays in the onset of sexual activity and first births

  • Help couples prevent and manage unwanted childbearing

  • Ensure universal access to maternal health care

  • Support new reproductive health technologies

  • Increase efforts to address the HIV pandemic

  • Involve communities in evaluating and implementing programs

  • Develop partnerships with the private sector, policymakers and aid donors to broaden support for reproductive health

  • Measure Progress

Global Community is declaring a moratorium on immigration all over the world, on all applications for immigration, until applicants from any religious or cultural background have satisfied completely Global Community standard for a population fertility rate of 1.3 children per family. The problem with world overpopulation is everybody’s problem. We are all responsible. Until tangible progress is made no immigrants should be accepted. That is Global Law. 

Population warfare  It is the use of a very high fertility rate to conquer a nation, and that could mean as many as or more than 2.1 children per family. It is a form of cultural and/or religious aggression and invasion by having a much too high number of new born babies. For instance, there has been a rapid increase in population among Muslims to the extent that in fifty years all of Europe and North America are expected to be mostly Islamic. The influx of Latino immigration into the western states of the USA will also have the effect of a population warfare.  Family is important.

Family with too many children is a problem. No one can feed, educate, and take care of a family with a large number of children. Think of the world population today and in the coming decades, as a family with already far too many members. We all know world population on our planet as overreach its safe and secure capacity. Our family is breaking down, suffering, crying, hungry, dying, tortured, and in great danger of extinction. Our family is out of control, abused, taken advantage of by the 1% of its members, and by promoting democracy and human rights destructively.
