In life, if there is to be unity, it has to understand what in history created and promoted so much disunity, because actions influence minds and can do so for generations.
Not only in America, but the mindset that is put forth about people from other lands.. and its time to 'get over that stuff"... because "people in general are just people".
It is up to each person to understand what is influential propaganda and what is of and about human decency and respect of persons.
As to women and as to Men, there is a common denominator, and that is the "pretty factor", most women know they can utilize it, and in some cases that makes communicating very different... because the factor of reality; where in some cultures (it may be the same in many cultures), as to the ideology of: "to - pursue some level of the wealth factor and then consider if you might like or not like someone." We have a media now, that has gone to the extremes in "objectification's"... to the extent of 'get as naked as possible as often as possible, and saturated it on the screens from in home TV's to portable data devices. it has gone to promote artificial injection, fake hair, to make up that goes beyond the past history of enhancement of costuming imagery with highlighting materials, to the extremes some have severely disfigured themselves for life, (this includes some men as well). A bikini went from being a swim outfit, to now an exhibitionist costume. when it has never been more than a material difference between a bikini and general underwear. Among men and women, sex is turned into a generalized "lure organ" for the gaming to get money or favors and elate egos; where it has forced character development into the abyss. Entertainer now promote any scrapping of cloth with ends that are not stitched together, to expose any body part, that promote the "organ lure" as the game of popularity, money and favor seeking as the ultimate objective. Fashion and Style is now presenting men in dress suits that are made x sizes too small, and they look like kids in ill fitting attire. As to Relations- Will it return to a consideration to love as person and individual? or will it escalate to fantasy and fiction, allure and pretense being the infatuation, that produce more short term interaction followed by a long term detesting the presence and existence of one for another.
I don't particular care for that premise of fantasy and fiction, allure and pretenses; regardless of what country people are from. But not liking it, will not change the nature of how many people have been groomed, are groomed and will be groomed. The materialism has persisted for generations. Will it ever change... I'd say, "Only as it relates to Individuals"... but, as for such being vanquished from societies. I don't know.
As to the political, whether people know it or not, the politic's of any country has a level of effect upon every country. Thus it is good to try to learn about the politics of not only the country one lives, but the politics of other countries as well.
There is no country without corruption in politics, beause the human being become overcome by thoughts of power and greed stands as a temptation before any and many choices they make. It is a matter of having policies and laws and then having a system that can and will hold them accountable and penalized them.
As a global society of people, when there is one representing the people, it is up to the people to pay attention... and to address it as best they can, within what ever system they live. Some have systems where its easy and some have systems were it is very difficult.
The world will change more, with the nature of the Computer continually connecting people. Its been 22 yrs since 1995 when the Computer became more common in the lives of many. By the 25-30 yrs mark, it will become even more so. Government likely have been very keen on this point as to how and what they will do to manage it. But with the massive nature of social media, it is a very daunting task that eventually there will have to be a platform that function more universal across all boundaries. Now, with Cloud computing, it stores data in the massive system, and as more and more people can access these systems storage programs, it will make even more data flow around the globe.
I think the younger generations as they come into position, influence and power, they will demand changes... We have a segment of generation today caught up in material opulence, and material matter and money hoarding. But at some point the future generation will come to understand, that "money is a tool", and if it is not working for the people, and hoarded by a few, it causes inflation to all.
It devastates some while others become more wealthy than they could ever make functional usage of. It may not be a matter of who has the most money, but who has the best systems that help the greatest number of people. That is a far different valuation which is equated different in terms of raw currency. It is not conducive with "hoarding".
At some point government will have to take control over Natural Resources when it comes to "Trade between Countries'... and take for example "Oil".. instead of independent Oil making deals with foreign government, the Independent Oil may have to make their deals with their own Government to acquire what they need to process and market. Thus, they can have no dealing with Foreign Government, and it become a national security commodity, where government makes such trades, and any investments in the research to find more will be a joint funding between government, and not independent companies.
It has to change, beause independent companies have fueled too much global conflict for the pursuits and acquisition of Natural Resources.
It may take a major calamity to push such change, that too is not so unlikely considering the conflicts raging around the globe today.
Even in commercial commodities, there has to be a change, because each country must find a way to "keep its own people working" or it collapses from within. The same things that built up nations, "which is people working", is the same thing that brings down nations "when people are not working".... People long ago busted the system of Quota's, but there may come a modified version, because every country must produce no less than 30-40% maybe more of what their citizens consume. Brand quality has to change, because we are stockpiling "waste" in every country at an alarming rate, and we are "wasting" natural resources producing "everything disposable", and we may well end up back at producing "durable goods" capable of parts replacement, rather than dump it and buy another and fill up the landfills. Why? Because Recycling is Slow, and there are not advanced enough processes to "Recycle the Volume" of waste we generate as a global society. Not even on consumable, certainly not when it come to hardware products.
People think in terms of A.I. ( Artificial Intelligence) as if it will be a change that all embrace, but as it is implemented, it also will compile data and show these things in a presentation that can't be ignored. Then... what? It can only come to the conclusion that waste management elevates to a high priority, and recycling has to become efficient, where what ever it made has to have data that explains how it can and will be recycled. Technology does not add in the emotional elements, and it does not factor to pursue the greed component, it puts out "data" that is based on logical analysis and summation.
People may think they complain about regulatory governance, and we have a current President trying to destroy Regulations in everything from Climate to Banking and even the maintaining of health and safety rules in the employment sector. He is setting us up for great calamity, and the world community will rebel, when they are going in a direction to build in regulations, because they see and know with their massive populations, it is a "must do".!!! Based on the Trump Agenda, America may become "the pariah", when it come to global environmental concern, and if it promotes more of this anti regulation, it may become the monster that ate at itself. the world spent lots of resources to put a system in place to identify where " natural resources originated" to attack the abuse of people when such resources are found. Yet, this Administration wants to abolish those regulations and not care to identify where resources were originated. Equally so, it wants to open the doors for illicit monies to flow "un-checked", which is a recipe for financial calamity... and the world of nation will stand up against it, because it impacts their currency as well, and in such impacts it hurts their people.
The entire world is aware of the issues caused by Russian illicit money moving and the other currencies it entices to join in such a game, and who gets hurt is the people of nations that play in that game, because its leadership become corrupt and greedy and the general population of people suffer the results.
We may find "young people" from many countries joining together within the next "5" or so years (maybe even sooner) to change the paradigm on "wealth hoarding".
Today, we can look at nations and see the issues, Japan, has a disastrous birth rate, as the women are more interested in professional status and wealth accumulation above making family, we have in various nations such as America where young people are strapped for education that produces worthless degree and saddle them with unreal debt. we have many that are jobless and increasing numbers of young people 'relatively homeless, except in cases where some can stay with family longer', we have simple things that tell stories, such as massive cars being produced, and people buy them and within a year or two it is repossessed or some issue comes and if they get another, they are tagged with excessive interest rates. The game of money has made homes in some areas so far out of the affordable range, and the people with the wealth cause the cost to go up, to keep those with less money out, and then there is the continual process of gentrification, which forces people out of areas they spent much of their lives.
We have society making more and more policy that disenfranchises the aged, and now in American, we see a massive wealth transfer away from public schools to private schools and this pushes cost prohibition that deny quality education to the masses. When all things that built up a nation are dismantled, so too is the nation dismantled.
In the past 30 yrs, we have seen nearly all prospering Asian nation exceed America in building and innovation in how they do so and the technology they incorporate surpass America at a rate of more than 60:1 and in some areas 100:1. In American there is the existence of not even one "high speed rail" for the public transportation needs of an expanding society. Yet, China has built one that practically spans across its country.
We see places that have incorporated "green design" in all they build and do, one need only look at Singapore, and then Look at the quality standards of maintenance being upheld in other Asian nations.
China has moved on... it developed "mutual benefit relations" with Africa, where it has the capability to have "Fair Play" trade with natural resources, and the AIIB is backed by many many nations.
As to the Middle East, at some point America has to get out, and realize these are two 'opposing ideologies", and the common ground will not be gained by "impositions". It will "only" be the people of those regions that will determine when they have had enough of killing each other... And if and when the decline of reliance on Fossil Fuel diminishes, so too will the radicalism of petrol capitalism influenced conflicts that play out under the pretense of religion.
We see what happened to Africa with the resource madness and all the people displaced by the manipulative warring factions produced refugee camps of millions, and now we are watching the Middle East with people made into refugees in the numbers of millions, with devastated lands people once called home.
At some point... the people will become tired of such, and the compassion of people in other lands as they learn more how it impacts them, even thought they are not made into refugees, they will have no choice but to choose "humanity concerns" over greed. The Reckoning will be what a Reckoning is... (the action or process of calculating or estimating something.)....
This precisely what the younger generation is learning. "how to factor and use data to do so". Many will be driven to think in humanitarian terms, because they've witnessed so much senseless violence and see so much of what greed devastated. How advances have moved the wealth into one realm and the poor into one that is lagging in not only the usage of the available technology, but having so much un-introduced to them.
Japan's example of society change. People once had jobs for life, their invested interest were for the kids, and now they have a generation that does not want kids, they want community popularity via status and materialism, today, they have a massive rise in suicide, homeless. (quoted text-Homeless In Japan) "The vast majority of Japanese homeless are men over the age of 40. There's a fair amount of age discrimination in Japan's labor market. In addition to the homeless there are a considerable number of Japanese youth who are living on the edge — sleeping in internet cafes and working temporary or part-time jobs. Homeless in Japan appear to try to stay out of the way. Building makeshift shelters in remote locations. Japanese homeless people are remarkably polite and quiet. They never ask for money. This is somewhat ironic because Japanese people would be likely to donate if asked.
Japanese people tend to ignore the homeless and give them space. Homeless in Japan are rarely harassed by the police (or anyone).
Japan is a wealthy country with a fairly equal distribution of wealth (relative to countries such as the United States). In other words, Japan has a large and thriving middle class. In fact, over 90 percent of Japanese people are considered middle class.
The aging population is not something easily fixed or there is no quick fix solution."
China has had a dramatic Society Change... and its in fast pace to be of many more changes....
One can look at changes in societies around the globe... Monetary matters have become more pronounced and much is more public than before the internet. the good and the bad, the challenged and the challengers... and people are exposed to many ways that life is lived, of which many had no thought of, nor awareness to consider. Previous generations values are changed, and technology has presented so much that goes beyond in ethics as well as generalized lifestyles.
Innovation of "every sort" are now engaged at a rate that even alarms the general population, not just in technology, but in lifestyles, and gender matters of relations, it has changed the fabric of societies all over the world. money-Sex-Power has become a fixture that is compounded in how its dominated so much where cultural manner at one time had a great influence upon character; that pushed back the cycle of money-Sex- Powers advances and methods.
What comes next?

I commend how much effort you put into this. I agree we should not be trying to nation build; at the same time, if planting a seed of freedom in such places bears fruit that's a good thing as well.
We should have stayed out of Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Egypt for sure. They had tyrants for leaders but they also maintained peace through their heavy handed rule, which seems to be the only way to control the people in these regions. I'm sure they long for the good ole days before ISIS, which we are to blame for the rise of. This is what happens when politicians without clue start wars they have no intention of winning.
Surely did, and I wrote that too. along with over 3000 more and before that 20,000+ along with other blogs I also write on. Including my own of which I have a few.
I've just compiled over 700 pages in single document booklet.

It wasn't very well written. It was basically garbage. I quit reading after about 4 paragraphs. Very amateurish. I couldn't stand the pain beyond that.
