I am convinced that we are all equal (similar?), in spite of different cultures or differing political and economical systems.
i am convinced of that too...

The more people I meet, the more I am convinced that the unity of mankind (based on understanding and respect) is a realistic basis for our behaviour
I disagree, even violently, with that...
there must be an unit of mankind but i am also pretty convinced that this unit is unreachable. Factually understanding and respect are exercices that are far from being practised equally in this world.

What would be the core? Would this creation be possible at all? No one would be forced to take it
each time that ideology of any nature (political, religious, and now i will say economical...)has attempted to release this unit the dreams have turned out to be nightmares (catholicism=>inquisition, colonisation=>chaos in africa, socialism=>stalisnism or very utopic and unefficient view of the world, capitalism=>economic deregulation and exploitation etc...)
main reason is probably if you want to unit mankind that's because you have also a very united view of truth... Something that practically is probably contradictory with the notions of understanding and respect.
Any ideas about this unit how generous and how "good" they are, would be misunderstood or opposed by some... and how would you deal with this opposition except by using force in a while or another...
and anyway what would be the minim criterium that will be able to unit effectivly mankind? democracy, certainly not. In a way (and though i'm convinced democracy is necessary) democracy has not a really positive definition (anyway it is not the expression of freedom or at least it is no more): maybe something more like "the worst political system except all others"... Is democracy "exportable" anywhere... Probably not and anyway not without violence...
