What will unite humanity?

Will it take massive natural disasters and tragedies for us to finally put aside our differences in caste, religion, race, and geography and unite in a needto survive? Or will we be sufficiently inspired by love, empathy, and compassion to do so?

What will it take to unite us?or will we ever?

Education in its true essence … I don’t mean academic education… I mean education about life and human values …

@Soossie That's an idea that's worth exploring.
Can you elaborate on what an education on life and human values would be? Do we have it?

@Renkon

I will try :

There is a variety of weapons that are required for starting a war, which is always for the financial benefit of few, including corrupt politicians) …

Some of these weapons are actually used physically during the war…

Some are used before a war starts .. These weapons are used by politicians …

They create hatred against other nations, other religions, land, other skin colors, …

Media is one weapon that can keep people ignorant and uneducated about human values .. they can fuel the hatred caused by the politicians and based on their war agenda …

Education can help people understand that human values are more important..

For example, land is not more important than children that are killed during the war … those children has been raised with love of their parents and to kill them is to destroy the world of many …

Another example : A black doctor can save a while skinned racist, if he’s not bitten up to death for his dark skin …

And so on and so on …

No greedy political system wants to educate its own people because war is one of the most beneficial trades, such as drugs, sex trafficking, oil, and …. Selling and/or smuggling guns, tanks, missiles, etc. benefits the politicians of all parties of any war …

@Soossie However, the current educational system places little emphasis on instilling such moral values in the next generation. A few references here and there, but not enough to really matter.

Do you believe that we should alter the current educational system or even design a new one that places a higher focus on respect for humanity?

Different places have different systems, yet none sufficient enough …

Media is playing a huge role in this and unfortunately not for it, therefore, I believe that this kind of education should take place at home and with family … that’s why it might take generation to learn and believe, if not too late …
