As the world ages, new challenges continue to face humanity. Many years back, the issues were as big as slave merchandise and cannibalism in some parts of the world. Today it is systematic exclusionism. By this I mean that people are systematically excluded from the running of affairs.
Often, this is rampant in governance. Recently the France government deported an absolute majority of Romans resident in France; few weeks later, the Israeli interior minister came up with a similar idea. It is almost the case in Czech Republic were people’s house are born just because they were Roman.
The most recent is in Sweden where a party known for direct racism won 20 sits in the Swedish parliament.
These scenarios ring no other bell than that of emerging hatred, intolerance and division in a period almost everyone is talking about global communion or Union.
In all of these situations, one outstanding issue is that peoples' right to be human, which includes but not restricted to the right to good life were being shortchanged with humiliations by those who have statutes big enough to protect it. The rights and privileges of one human is not in any way supposed to surpass that of another individual irrespective of the circumstance yet the situation is getting worse everyday with different shapes in different continents. War and corruption in Africa, Child labor and more work less pay in Asia, Immigrants Hostility in Europe and the most recent one in America, and the list goes on.
The time to act is now or the world will run out of time.
What I mean is that if nothing is done as fast as possible, the circle will start all over again and the event that forced the world to enact the human right decree will reoccur with even an unstoppable wave.
If we are one world, then there is no reason while we should not live together with or without permission. There is no reason while those who should be protected are kept under attack with no room for possible help from the world- from us all.
