And that sameness inhibits innovation. The world is becoming Westernized, and the UN is an instrument of the West to dominate with culture and methods, when in reality there should be free competition between varying forms of government. Some socialized systems work, generally, like the small Scandinavian nations. Some capitalist areas work, like Hong Kong. But if we all unite under one system, like Europe has attempted and the Soviet Union attempted (And the Western economies are currently doing), if it fails, we ALL fail.

We are all human, but we are also unique in culture, economy, and government. That's what's great about humanity, we can take different ideas, apply them, and make society work for ourselves without forcing it down the throats of other cultures who may disagree. Westernization is destroying non-Western cultures by creating sameness.
