A United World | Krisna Bhargava | TEDxYouth@DubaiCollege


we are living in a world which is more

divided than ever before you just have

to look at social media such as Facebook

Twitter or Instagram or even traditional

media sources such as the newspaper or

the radio to see the full extent of the

racial divisions polarizing political

ideologies and the economic

fragmentation present in our world today

take a look at any of the recent crisis

that affected our world over the last

couple of years say the Pirates

shootings the European refugee crisis

the cause of far-right political

ideologies or even the impending

practices which are what a testament to

the significant challenges impacting our

world even with our 193 member countries

in our united world can we really call

ourselves united I don’t think so

in fact I would go as far says we are

more divided than United as the world

today woody United will be facing major

disputes between countries like our

world is today would he united world be

having as many terror attacks as all

others today again I don’t think so so

it got me thinking what if there was a

way that we could stop all of this what

if there was a way we could stop the

spread of hate and terror and spread

peace love and unity across our world my

attempted a solution a world with no

walls no barricades a world without

borders a world with Oana singular

country one country for all in which

every single citizen feels like they

truly belong now you may be sitting here

in this auditorium thinking that this

idea is unrealistic it’s far-fetched

which we ferrets but today I’m going to

be looking at the advantages and the

disadvantages of the scheme to see if it

is a viable idea and something that can

potentially work in the future so the

most important thing for this to work is

the implementation

Democratic BorgWarner with economic and

political equality so to all three

billion odd citizens of this country I

would recommend electric no one but a

world council of five leaders one from

each populated continent so that’s North

America South America Europe Africa and

Asia who though she are not joining Asia

for the purpose of the scheme and these

representatives would be elected on a

term of five years and would lead with

fairness over bias freedom over

oppression there would promote economic

equality over the current disparity now

while today there were support humanism

over a sysm and most importantly create

a safe world with no borders with every

single citizen free to travel anywhere

that they liked after all it would be

the same country so now that I’ve

established how this world would run and

how it would work let me answer a

question I’m sure on some of our minds

right now what is the point what is the

goal what is the mission of this united

world what are we trying to achieve well

as I’m sure you’ll agree with me our

world is facing many problems at the

moment but there are two main ones which

are affecting us greatly now and will

continue to affect us unless we do

something about them the first is the

issue of security no one feels safe any

more terrorist attacks are becoming

increasingly prevalent and in fact from

2015 till now the number of terrorist

attacks have increased by six hundred

and fifty percent six hundred fifty

percent is think of our large levels I

just can’t guess where the next one may

be it may be in a Texas Church on a

London Bridge or even in the Philippines

and the second problem when when we’re

talking about is the issue of climate

change we are killing our planet we just

don’t seem to care

everyone here today takes a couple of

things for granted we all take for

granted that we can breathe fresh clean

air we all take for granted that we can

drink clean water however if we continue

to go about always and don’t address our

problems

children our descendants won’t be able

to have these basic guarantees they

won’t be able to live happy healthy

lives because there’ll be no more basic

resources left for them to live so on to

solving these problems ha the first

problem the issue of security how do we

ensure that there are no terrorist

attacks in this country well by making

sure that people feel recognized and not

repressed and providing equal

opportunities to jobs education and

health care we would hope that every

citizen has a somewhat happy life and on

to the second problem the issue of

climate change by implementing Paris

agreement as conditions and trying to

use as much of renewable energy sources

an answer from the fossil fuels as

possible we would hope to ensure that we

could create a world the prosperity not

pollution so finally I know that my

speech is about an unrealistic and

utopian proposition but if there’s one

thing that I want you to take away from

my speech today is that we have problems

we have many problems but we need to

stop accepting these problems and doing

something about them instead of shying

away from these problems in this

auditorium here today where people from

all over the world we have people from

England we have Indians we have

Americans we have Australians but

instead of considering ourselves as an

English person or an American person or

an Indian person we should start

considering ourselves as one we are all

humans we are all citizens of the same

planet we all live on the same earth and

if we don’t do anything about our

problems if we continue about our ways

if I work plunges into chaos if I wall

runs out of basic resources one country

or several countries one suffer alone

all of us well so ladies and gentlemen

we have a dilemma do we take action and

unite our world or sit back and watch is

a fourth spot right in front of us thank you
