Despite the insistence of reason and experience that strength and stability are the result of unity, tradition, custom and habit have held human society at the level of political, economic and ideological diversity.
World oneness is laced by contradictions, confrontations, conflicts; by traditional, customary, habitual, ideological, legal, and national barriers of greater or lesser rigidity.
Since the driving force of colonialism itself was economic exploitation, it was perhaps inevitable that most movements of liberation assumed a broadly socialistic ideological cast. Within only a few short years, these circumstances had created a fertile ground for exploitation by the world’s superpowers.
The second reason is the arrogant, self-righteous, peremptory, bragging, bullying, dictatorial approaches adopted by civilized people in their dealings with those who live on the fringes or outside the pale of civilization. The first reason is an inescapable consequence of the political, economic, ideological and sociological assumptions of the civilizing process.

The main sociological purpose of each civilization has been to impose central authority and universality upon political, economic and ideological diversity. Every civilization has been confronted with the advantages of unity over diversity. Every civilization has professed its devotion to unity.
But I think you know that to really solve this problem, we'll all have to put our heads together, leave our ideological armor aside, and find some new ideas to do even more. The Role Of Government And let's be honest, we all know something else, too. Our problems go way beyond the reach of government.
