What type of world we live in?
That is not definetely not an easy question to answer. For over the past year I have written some articles on the state of the ever changing world from the perspective of global economy and perhaps a pursuant war. One of the things that I think that drives history is the mobility of goods and labor. This is not far when such mobility is marked from a historic or more precisely from a prehistoric point of view of nomadic tribes and the rise of early civilization. There is not one set theme or thesis as to why nomadic cultures begin to settle down and developed cities and often times revert to a form of nomadism and vice versa. Along came in history the growth of warring cultures and empire. As we have empires there have came about the varying concept of law and justice. Is the applicatiion of the demand for justice is univeral? Is that concept universal a flawed way of thinking? No one for the most part would ever agree or believe that it can happened that way. There are many types of justice as they impart upon ourselves the level of civilization and the way that mankind behave.
Often stated is a certain flow of energy in which all societies must stand by. In fact it is this built up energy that determines societal fate and once unleashed shapes history upon a new course. It could be often argue that the First and Second World War represents this built of energy from the 'enlightenment' and over 'rationalistic' thinkers of most of the 19th Century. It could also be stated and asserted the Cold War was just a slow down of an already melt down and decrepit world that we live in. It wasn't until the birth of the decline of the Soviet Union that despite what others would think meltdown the illusions some would have about the cold war but also history itself.
As the Cold War and the Soviet Union ended, certian historical phenomenas have taken place. We for starters cannot be sure about what they were or certain what shape or form they can be taken place. All we know for starters, the idea that there will ever be a nation state model or system that can keep the world at peace is fast becoming extremely something that can be found only in the past and not much anything of a reality.
