Countries always confuse me.
My great grandfather pledged his
loyalty to the British Crown. My Grandfather came to know that he could
live in a country of Hindus if he crossed a river or he could live in a
country of Muslims if he didn't. My father found great sanctity in the
people who lay their lives for a secular state ruled by Bangalis-people
who speak Bangla. Today, teachers in my school teach me the difference
between Bangali and Bangladeshi. All the people who speak Bangla are
Bangali but only the ones who live in Bangladesh are Bangladeshi. All
Bangladeshis are Bangali but all Bangalis are not Bangladeshi.
I
don’t love the country my great grandfather loved because my grandfather
idolized the people who fought against that county. I don’t even love
the country my grandfather loved because my father idolized the people
who fought a war against that country. And I am not sure that my child
will love the same country I love. Maybe the definition of ‘them’ and
‘us’ will change again before he is born.
Why is this ‘them’ and
‘us’ so important? Why is it so necessary to differentiate people from
each other? Maybe it is so important because we cannot hate them if
they are a part of us. They must be separated from us to rationalize our
hatred towards them. Differentiation fosters hatred. It makes us forget
that, despite our differences, we are all human. We are all part of the
same species: Homo sapiens.
And as Homo sapiens, it is the
responsibility of each of us to somehow contribute to the voyage of
mankind towards the omega point, the highest peak of knowledge. I
believe that I can participate in this venture through my plans of
uniting the world into a single system of governance. I think that
achievement of omega point will be jeopardized if people from different
parts of the world get different treatment and different opportunities. A
society of complete equality cannot be established through a system of
complete inequality. The process of differentiation of countries from
countries incubates the sense of alienation and enmity that has led to
useless massacres of human life and dignity so many times in history.
I think that this system of differentiation is very barbaric at its
core. We have evolved as creatures, individually and as a society,
collectively. But yet we create groups in the collection. The primitive
sense of tribal rivalry still possesses us. We must evolve out of it.
Humans must not be differentiated from each other. It is barbaric to say
that someone cannot do something because he was born somewhere and not
somewhere else. Perish of differentiation in countries may seem radical,
but so seemed the idea of enfranchisement of African Americans one day.
As Nelson Mandela once said, ‘Everything seems impossible until it’s
done.’
I believe in the system of world government. I believe that
it can be implemented and if implemented, it will dissolve the most
latent yet most potent discrimination of our time. Through my years in
college, I wish to dig deep into this theory of mine and explore
governance systems that have persisted and reasons why they persisted. I
will try and make each and every detail of my model so strong and
feasible that I can start to implement it as soon as I graduate from
college.
Through my study in international relationship at your
university, I wish to figure out a way to convince world leaders to
participate in my endeavor and tie the world together. I believe that I
would get the best environment, encouragement and enlightenment I need
to pursue my dream.
