Kitty's ideas

Will greater peace be created in the 21st century by promoting homgenaity? In other words, is it better for alike peoples to live together? Or, is it better to promote racial, ethnic, religious and other kinds of diversity? Can you you really advocate homgenaity? Can you force different people who have not liked each other to live in harmony?

First of all, Mr. Clark, tisk tisk on that spelling and grammar in the question, minus one point for you, just kidding. I just thought it was ironic. So now to the question at hand…

I agree completely with the idea that homogeneity will sufficiently lessen conflicts. The only problem is that we would have to disregard some of our western standards of acceptance, in order to put this idea in place. A common idea that many people put into practice in everyday life, is to be around those like themselves. For example: friends. Many people choose their friends based on common characteristics or interests. They choose to be with those that they can relate to. This idea holds true for all those around the world. Although there will still be some conflicts, many of the struggles between cultures can be severely cut down. The only problem with this whole idea is that the world has been supposedly moving towards a more united world. We want a place where no matter who you are or where you came from, we can all get along. If we adopt this idea of homogeneity than we will just be fueling the idea of separating those who can not get along instead of trying to actually resolve issues. The problem comes when deciding what situations we should apply this idea to and which situations should be worked out. I am glad that I am not the one having to make that decision.
