Extra Posting ; Is the world government possible?

 One of the TED video in the lecture was about globalization of power and its mutual dependency.

 It is often said that SF predicts the future. Many SFs talk about the emergence of world governments and the unity of the common problems of humankind. Star Trek, the famous movie, and Starcraft, the most influential game in Korea, also appear in the world government. Interestingly, Star Trek is a relatively democratic coalition, while Starcraft is a military dictatorship.



 I think that the imagination of this sci-fi was on social culture. Therefore, I think that globalization of power and mutual dependency will lead to world government and human community. And political globalization will ultimately lead to the creation of a world government. Because economic and cultural globalization is strengthening the homogeneity of mankind. On the other hand, international issues such as global warming and depletion of resources can not be solved by individual countries. For this reason, we think that the present UN will enter into a looser world federation.

 Whether such a federal government will be a centralized dictatorship, as it is treated in SF, or whether the autonomy of constituent states will be respected depends on the determination of the global civil society.
