very tempted to just say I am the sourced, even though i read it in many sci-fi novels and other sources throughout my life, just so you would engage with the ISSUE, not the source. ITs about IDEAS, not veracity. what criteria do YOu think we need to unify the world, is what I am getting at.

However, I did manage to find one source that addresses some of these and adds more. https://opentext.wsu.edu/marketing/chapter/2-2-the-international-marketing-environment-3/

IT seems thee are so many companies and organizations using "world unity" as a theme or goal, the criteria I mentioned have become obscured by them. So, the question is, do you have any IDEAS on what the criteria are for world unity, or not? there isn't any criteria set in concrete, and are considered FACT. This is a discussion about IDEAS. I look for factual sources where appropriate too, but this is not an instance where that is appropriate .

I didn't make them up. These are what philosophers and social studies experts say. Me, I'd advocate killing off everyone to have a peaceful society. No humans. They ruin everything

source for what? the factors for global unification are common language, currency, socio-political goals, education and technology. technology has enhanced education and socio-political unity a great deal, but what we need is a concerted effort by every government to work towards a common socio-political commonality. When our laws and socio-economics are universal, we can be free to go anywhere and know we are under the same legal and moral constraints and freedoms. When we are a unified peoples, THEN we can attack any problem or challenge and overcome it, from space colonization to eradicating disease, poverty, etc..

This is a GOOD thing. One of the requirements for a unified planet and thus a utopia is a common language. Too bad the "winning" language is english, one of the hardest and bastardized languages ever to come into being.
