Unified world

A politically unified world is an idea of world government where all humankind comes together under one government. Such an idea has only existed as a utopian thinking and history has seen ambitious rulers such as kings, emperors and popes and philosophers propose for it but it has never existed. Therefore, there is no time the world will ever be unified under one political rule looking at various reasons for it.  First, a single political authority is infeasible and the assumption that the world government would result to desirable effect in terms of perpetual peace is farfetched. It will never materialize in terms of institutional reality due to the inherent human nature that is egoistic and corrupt where everyone is serving their self-interest (Titley, 2004). This is depicted in the logic of international anarchy in the world of states where they are all protect own sovereignty or allege to supreme authority. The difficulties that would be experienced in establishing such hierarchies at international level are unsurpassable; hence it cannot solve global problem (Titley, 2004). Second, there is the possibility of political tyranny given that such an authority would go unchecked, and would perpetuate the desire for humanity to serve self-interest needs.   

Politics involves making decisions that has effects on almost all facets of life in terms of the human rights, where to live, where to go, what is done and even the public health (Chafe, 2005). For instance , politician make laws that directly influence how the society use land , acquire education , access health care and how the living conditions within various neighborhoods will be. The political authorities come up with rules that limit the places I can go or actions that I cannot get involved in. Therefore, I cannot traverse all the parts of the world anyhow as I wish to due to political limits.
