Uniting religion, will not happen, too hard. Nations, no way, government, isn't that same as nations!  Peace on Earth! will not happen as long as we continue with our struggle against each others.  The least unity possible is religion, no matter how much we try, we will never see it, at lest in our life time, and these days it is getting less and less possible to be.

Because  socialism is like a campaign slogan so that the populist governments and nationalists of Latin America can convince to the masses and their governments of which Capitalism is not beneficial and is necessary to eliminate it in its countries and thus to be united in a block of "integration". This will future see but real with the victory of the nationalistic party in Peru and the extension of the Mercosur.

I do not think there are any signs of that. The US federal and States system is so interlinked that that this is very unlikely to happen at all. There are few countries in the world that have as much sense of unity, in my view, as the US

If you are referring to Enlightenment as a movement that emerged in Europe... in the present day discourses... postmodernism seems to be up in arms against the notion of this universal Euro-centric 'enlightenment'.  The present day social theorists see Enlightenment as part of the European colonizing mission where a certain kind of rationality with European experience as a role model was imposed on the rest of the world which in turn had nothing to offer but only to catch up with the West and modernize.\n\nPersonally, i am weary of going overboard with this present day trend, which is letting all kinds of weird irrational locally dominating ideas to assert themselves against modernity.  Various fundamentalist religious movements are questioning the regime of reason by suggesting that one truth is equal to the other so we will follow ours whatever the consequences!  Evolution and creationism are projected as equal.  The boundary between myth and science is being collapsed.  There is a great danger in this tendency, however exciting it may appear, for the end of reason means proliferation of multitudes of lunacy and parochialisms which are hard to manage...   More on request!

It would not be correct to see Singapore's memberships in ASEAN/UN as successes or failures. It has its limitations as to the roles Singapore can play because of its small city nation status, population, economy, military. As such the country's contribution can't be one of leading the region nor be prominent on the world stage. Nevertheless Singapore have been a positive and pro-active nation particularly in ASEAN throwing its weight behind humanitarian efforts in the Indian-Andaman tsunami relief and other mercy missions; tackling terrorist activity within the state; and promoting intra-regional trade and investments. Despite being surrounded with predominantly muslim neighbour countries, Singapore has achieved remarkable stability, peace and prosperity because its founding fathers laid down a very progressive system for the current generation of leaders to build on. Asean / UN has little to do with the "integrity", "vision" and "ingenuity" of the Singaporean people - these are the real successes of Singapore.

My guess is that some countries are administratively part of a larger unit. \n\nI'll give you the example I'm familiar with: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are all individual members of FIFA, however, they are all part of the United Kingdom and that is the body which has UN membership.\n\nI don't know which other countries this would apply to.

Yes, because we are evolving into a globally concerned society, as opposed to an individually concerned one.

It has to do with Globalization.\n\nGlobalization is basically a free enterprise market between all participating nations. Think about it...\n\nIf you have a country that is in direct competition with another nation but your workers require wages that are far less than other nations, who has the advantage?\n\nSo yes they are the future.

Well the Security Council of the UN is investigating things like the genocide in the Sudan and the Iranian nuclear issue. It was formed by all of the member countries.

I see it as any moves towards equality which is beneficial for all the world's people. All technology is not progress, and progress does not have to be technology.

It is because they are trying to disrupt the function of the country.  If they were an active non violent political party that seek change from within the government, it would be more accepted byt the international community.

The idea of the United Nations is a great one.  In the sense that it provides a forum for nations to discuss their differences and develop compromises it does what is intended.  However, it has also been very ineffectual in stopping differences between nations which have entered into violent relationships.\n\nIt also promotes and lifts up to high positions nations which treat their own people in a terrible manner, thereby rewarding nations for not following the mission of the United Nations.  \n\nIt seems that the possibility of breaking up the United Nations is becoming increasingly likely.  Maybe that would be best and to begin again with a new direction.  Certainly many nations would (apparently) be happier if the United States simply left the United Nations and, maybe that would be best.

The world is becoming one global market place.People from all around the world watch MTV, sip coco cola and wear levis jeans.The originally culturally diverse world is becoming increasingly unified in it's tastes and wants.\n\nHence advertising is becoming one unified message on the international front.Agencies are conveying one common message and building the brand on one unified message all around the globe.

It may be both.\nEconomic problems can be solved by unity but it's a very long-term endeavour which will benefit eventually everyone. But it's a hard task because corrupt officials don't care about long termn benefits, only for short term profit that will help fill their pockets.\nEU was founded over economic treaties so its core is economy. Growing to be united in politics was a good idea, could've become a middle power to balance between US and Russia/China but it has failed at that.
