What would the world be like with one world government?
819710
I have thought about this before in great depth...\n\nThe answer is that it would be a very bad idea for many reasons. Think about it... what is a democracy really? I mean not the for the ppl by the ppl part but what makes a democracy fair?\n\nFairness of democracy comes from listening to all views but more than that, having different views to listen to.\n\nSo what I am saying is, our planet has countries with monarchies, some with dictatorships, some with direct democracies (socialist Switzerland), republics (USA), etc.., from one point of view a person might think.. we need democracies all over the world.\n\nBUT, if you open your mind a minute and think.... having all these government variances is what actually makes our planet a democracy.\n\nHaving one form of democracy all over the world contradicts the concept of democracy.\n\nBTW, I used democracy as the one global form of government to illustrate my view. The downfalls of other types of government should be translucent.

Firstly, you would not have a car.\nNo one would have a car.\nInstead there would be excellent public transport.\nIt would be supremely reliable.\n\nA calculator would be made available to you for your test.\n\nYour community hall would also have a place where you could go and study.  It would be fully equipped with calculators, computers and other equipment.\n\nFinally you would not eat alone or in your tiny family unit but would share a communal meal with your neighbours.\nYou would all eat together.\n\nYour effort would actually be reduced because\n1. you would not need to worry about servicing or looking after a car, there would be no need.\n2. you would not need to worry about finding/buying equipment for your course. It would all be made available to you.\n3. you would not have to cook for yourself.  Instead those neighbours who were talented home managers would prepare meals for you.\n\nThe question is, how can a society possibly function where the rich keep getting richer, the poor poorer.  Where each day a billion cars clog the roads, where at any moment one of the growing army of the poor might decide to just seize your posessions because they are so desperate/unhappy/discontented.\n\nHow long can our society last?\n\n(PS you are right, human nature does lead to a greedy capitalist democracy which of course is another name for mob rule.)

From previous answers it seems to me that ppl enjoy the conditions of the world today, but it would be like the Bible says that it will be, there would be no crime no violence, there would be love among mankind I mean true love not what they call love.There would be no hunger or poverty, no misery there would be respect for everyone no racial preduisce,no lying no cheating on their spouses, no abandoned children,or animals, , noone would need to lockup their house or car,there would be no roberies,no need for insurance, no death no pain, no sickness, no hatred, people would work together in harmony, and acomplish much more toward the good of the world rather than to the detrement of the world no wars no fighting no bombing, nomarriage breakups, and no police necessary or doctors hospitals etc. and the world would be a better place for all! I'm sure I have probably left something out, but I'm not perfect, that's one,  perfection would exist in the world too.

Not one world government, one style of government... Democracy.

Why would a one world government be a bad thing?  The progress of government throughout the years has always entailed small, individual governments coming together for the common good.  Look at the history of nearly every country and you'll find that to be the case.  And why can't a one world government be a democracy?\n\nAs a matter of fact, a one-world government (or truly cooperative nation governments) might be the only thing that prevents What's Next For Our Little Earth: nuclear, biological and/or nanotechnological war between the individual nations.  That's MUCH more likely to occur before world population gets to a point where it's a serious problem (as in, mass destruction).  As more and more countries have mass destruction technology, mass destruction is inevitable.  Only a global, cooperative effort will keep it under control.

The entire world cannot be governed by one person.Even if the masses elect him it would not be a good idea to have the world governed by a single person.

One world, one government. Combine all of the worlds resources for the betterment of all.\n\nWorldwide education for all. A necessary requirement. Insure that empathy and morality are taught and we begin to see eachother as one people. Perhaps during this process, the human ego can eventually be less of a problem than it is now.\n\nGather the top thinkers and try and come up with a new system to motivate people that has nothing to do with the accumulation of wealth. This is a tough one that would require alot of planning and transitional work.\n\nLook into space as the next frontier. Education plays a big role in this, as well as the many other changes required for the systematic resocialization of an entire species.\n\nWork with our planet and begin to ease the many environmental issues that are already suffocating it.\n\nNothing I've written here is new but it does bear pointing out. It's also important to note, imho, that the biggest technological breakthrough we've seen in the last 100 years (after the radio) as been the internet because of it's ability to bring people even closer together. It is already the most powerful tool available to the individual and grants us all the ability to become leaders and productive players for positive change.\n\nIf such a person had the power today to begin moving us all in this direction, it would require several generations before the seeds of this labor began to bear fruit. Which is why the most powerful person in the world becomes but a bit player in the larger scheme of things.\n\nIt's easy to imagine that fundamental changes would be met with fear, anger and sometimes violence. The status quo usually works to deliver this. \n\nSo in the end, because of the walls already in place, the most powerful person on the planet can be expected to be the meekest among us... for he or she would know that change is a group effort.

There's a reason that no one nation rules the whole world. Is this a serious question?

Largely because the only people interested in imposing a New World Order are the ones who want to force everyone to conform to their ideological and religious beliefs.\n\nYou don't need a New World Order if everyone is free. Enlightened anarchy (no, not just plain garden-variety anarchy) is the only truly effective form of government.\n\nNow, we just have to wait for the entire species to become enlightened, and to let go of fear, hatred and prejudice. Then we'll be fine.

How about EarthGov?\n\nI think a world government would require a body sort of like the United Nations, but with the powers endowed in Congress.  I do believe that the U.S.'s three-branch system works well, and should be (with minor tweaking to accommodate everyone) used as a base.\n\nTherefore, a united judicial system consisting of people from around the world would be required (for the first few generations, until we accept everybody else as equal citizens), before eventually basing it just on qualifications.\n\nAn elected leader, like the President would be a good choice, just as long as that person is a good person and actually knows what he's doing (after all, he'd be leading 6+ Billion people.)\n\nYet the government would also have international abilities that the U.N. has, so no one could accuse one country of butting into another's business.\n\nAnd if the "New Founders" are ever not sure what to do, they can just reference to the dozens of movies, T.V. shows, and books which have covered this subject, such as "The 5th Element & Star Trek".

Two years.  First, war it would only be in the Middle East and Sub-saharan Africa.  The apathetic world leaders would sit on the sidelines while the world struggles, but soon after those areas are completely devoid of any decent human beings to murder and terrorize, violence would spread thoughout the world, eventually comsuming everything.

not until there is a world without government.

I sure hope we don't get caught up in that global 1 world 1 government crap, then we will be no better than any of the many 3 rate countries of the world, I truly believe we are better than that!!

That could be interesting. Imagine if you could set up citizenship-timeshare mechanisms over the web to provide a fast supply and demand type of mechanism that would allow for the fast use of citizenships to supply the needed workforce for evry country in the world ...
