Overview
The “Big Questions” for humans today surely must mirror these: What is the best hope for the survival of the human race? Can a state of existence be established that will satisfy our nature and maintain the best reality for humans and remain practical as well? Can this planet wide peace be accomplished and still propel us into the Cosmos questing knowledge and understanding?
Description
The “Big Questions” for humans today surely must mirror these: What is the best hope for the survival of the human race? Can a state of existence be established that will satisfy our nature and maintain the best reality for humans and remain practical as well? Can this planet wide peace be accomplished and still propel us into the Cosmos questing knowledge and understanding? “FUTURE WORLD ORDER: THE BIG QUESTIONS FOR ALL” begins with overview of life on planet Earth with a reflection of how humans became what they are: the preeminent sentient entity. The survey continues with a sweeping survey of significant developments that have set Homo Sapiens on a course that no other known life form has taken. The powerful human brain, resulting intelligence and the ability to accumulate and pass on knowledge and an elaborate skill-set certainly has given the universe a path to self awareness. Humans seem to have been increasing order for planet Earth since they became a recognizable species. In concert with accumulating and harnessing knowledge, making tings and manipulating nature they have taken primate social tendencies and advanced them to a complex global system that in recent centuries has shaped a rudimentary world order. Today accepted or not, the exists a form of world government. This book explains how a world government exists and is evolving toward a more formal identity despite differences in culture, society and geographical location of populations. James Halifko outlines factors that contribute to this approaching world entity and factors that resists it. The significant aspects that promote and hinder its development are presented in hope that a global discussion will follow and that the people of the world will adopt a path that enhances a better world for all humans. Some attention is given to the history of the United Nations with thoughts on how it could function better. Should it be modified or replace? Details of a new entity are sketched out: The World Federation of Nations. The brief writing attempts to point out what good things the United Nations has and what new or expanded things the proposed WFN might coordinate and govern with. Some thought is expressed on rapidly advancing technologies especially those that unite people, advance machines toward becoming sentient beings, and promise colonization of other worlds in outer space. The book ends with words designed to inspire discussion and lists that help people focus on the essence of what it means to be alive in a time of history that may be the start of a truly united Earth; one with peace and a high quality of life for the majority of humans who live there. James Halifko has said, “ We the people of Earth must bring peace to all and order to the Earth and beyond.”
About the author
James Halifko Was born July 29,1947 in South Amboy, New Jersey: Grew up in Middlesex County New Jersey; graduated, Carteret High School in 1966, RCA Institute, New York City in 1968, Burlington County College in Pemberton, New Jersey. He has been been a technician, a singer songwriter, and artist, a soldier, a family man and several other incarnations or variations as a citizen of The United States that is part of the North American Continent on planet Earth and except for the time serving in the U.S. Army (1968-1972) has been a resident of New Jersey. He has been liberal, conservative, liberal again and now (hopefully) objective and balanced. He has survived well into his sixties and acquired a lot of experience along the way; as a “Baby Boomer” the historical period that he has lived through has been rich with scientific and technological advances. But possibly more important, a period filled with social and cultural change at a pace and scale perhaps never before experienced by the human race. All this has overwhelmed, inspired, and troubled him at different times during his life. He said, “A part of me has had the desire to write; I have written essays, sermons, and anecdotes for my songs. Every attempt to complete something on the scale of a book (a technical book, a historical book or a novel) has always eluded me. I have many idea fragments, partial journals and unfinished manuscripts to show for it. “FUTURE WORLD ORDER: THE BIG QUESTIONS FOR ALL” began as an essay but morphed into much more: this book.”
