The document discusses the concept of a global community and how nations are increasingly interconnected. It provides several examples of this interconnectivity, including: 1) Nations providing humanitarian aid to countries affected by natural disasters. 2) Economies being interdependent, with different countries specializing in various goods and services. 3) Efforts to preserve the environment, such as enacting laws to curb pollution and fighting climate change.

2. The term “global community” has been defined in
Collins English Dictionary (10th edition) as “people or
nations of the world considered as closely connected by
modern telecommunications and as being economically,
socially, and politically interdependent.”

4. 1. As a family, nations have begun treating each other like
brothers and sisters. Giving monetary aid and economic goods to
nations who have suffered losses due to earthquakes, typhoons,
and other calamities has become standard practice in the
community of nations. Sympathy and even prayers are offered to
the victims of these earth-shaking events by citizens of different
nations. Such practice manifests that nations “dream” of having
one human family, and treat other races as family members.
Since people have started calling this planet “mother earth”, then
it is not difficult for them to call each other brothers and sisters.

2. Although living in different locations, people in global
community acknowledge the fact that no one can independently
exist alone without others. Nations are interdependent; the
Philippines manufactures agricultural products; Middle East
countries provide oil; Japan produces machines and pieces of
equipment. The global community recognizes the contribution
of every nation. Like a life cycle, one country is important for the
survival of another. This is the reason why nations are
economically interdependent; this is precisely the reason why
human civilization continues to exist.

3. The preservation of the environment against pollutants
and other wastes and the campaign to fight climate change
manifest that nations assume responsibility for everything that
happens to “mother earth.” The passage of the universal law on
the proper treatment of animals and the observance of “earth
hour” worldwide to save energy and protect the environment
clearly show that nations realize the fragility of the Earth and
pledge to take part in every endeavor that will preserve the
planet. The citizens of the global community claim “collective”
ownership of the earth.

4. With the enactment of international law that is binding to
most civilized states, the world has a limited space for wars.
The law compels member-states to maintain harmonious
relationship with other states, and that war should be the last
resort. Using non-violent means in times of conflicts prevents
loss of lives and destruction of properties. International law has
become the bible of the United Nations whose objective is to
promote peace and cooperation among all member-nations in
order to attain international peace and order.

5. People adhere to the principle of equality as one of the
universal values. This principle forbids all forms of
discrimination by reason of race, nationality, gender, creed, age,
or language. All persons in a given society are entitled to equal
access to goods and services needed in order survive. In
accepting this value, justice is attained. Under this principle, an
individual and/or a nation has the right to invoke discrimination
against any entity that will attempt to deprive them of such right.
Respecting the dignity and freedom of a person is another
universal value that the global community recognizes. This is
manifested by the enactment of the universal declaration of
human rights and the proper and humane treatment of
prisoners of war that almost all nations observe at present.

2. This involves mutual relations among nations in
relation to trade including loans that a nation extends to
another nation and the condonation of a country’s foreign
dept.

3. The efforts to conserve and protect mother earth
include the ban on detrimental mining operations, hunting
of endangered species of animals, harmful use of
chemicals that destroy the ozone layer, and on all forms of
pollutants.

4. When nations formed alliances, they are bound to
provide military aid and protection to a member-state
especially a country under foreign aggression.
