Likely World Fifty Years from Now Political Aspects

Question: Write about the Likely World Fifty Years from Nowfor Political Aspects. Answer: Introduction Currently, there are a lot of revolutionary changes being experienced across the world regarding social, economic and political aspects. Therefore, this paper will focus on discussing and creating the impression of the kind of world that might exist fifty years from now based on class discussions and observed trends. The Kind of World that might Exist Fifty Years from Now The countries perceived to be powerful about military capabilities have been involved in unending war issues which have raised security concerns over the years across the world. For instance, the issue of nuclear and biological weapons has taken center stage on the entire matter of compromised safety in the world. Countries like North Korea and Syria have embarked on a journey to make nuclear and atomic bombs thus making them threats to the rest of the countries. Fifty years from now, more nations will have joined the countries already producing these dangerous weapons hence making the whole world unsafe for human existence. It is happening because of the failed efforts to control such activities. NATO members like the United States of America and Canada have tried to impose sanctions on countries such as North Korea and Syria among others. There will also be possible segregation of the world regarding economic, social and political abilities among nations (Adrian Done, 2011, 100). Since the World War I and World War II, the most developed countries have formed alliances and have always exercised the influence they perceive to have on other nations under various mandates. For instance, there exists the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) among others. NATO members agreed to mutual assistance in case of an attack on any of the members. On the other hand, EU members agreed to carry out viable economic activities amongst themselves. This trend is likely to cause divisions because nations based on their locations will pursue their interests first neglecting other regions (Donald et. al. 2012). The recently witnessed exit of Britain from the European Union provides an example of the direction the world is following. It was also witnessed during the downfall of European C ommunism after the pulling out of Soviet power from Eastern Europe that happened during the second half of the twentieth century. Some countries like the U.S. have banned migrants from a majority of Arab countries from entering the nation. Although the move was not welcome, it will castigate the efforts of unifying nations across the world and instead, cause chaos and divisions in future. However, the policy seems to strengthen the Arab Nationalism characterized by resistance to Western ideologies and creation of a social order based on the arduous exposition of Islam. Terrorism is also likely to overwhelm the world in future (). The U.S was attacked on September 11, 2011, making the administration to declare war on terrorism." In response, the U.S launched attacks on Afghanistan. However, Taliban strongholds and rebellion remain high to date. The preemptive strikes policy against potential enemies by the U.S led to a prolonged war in Iraq. Unfortunately, several other terrorist groups such as ISIS and Alshabaab have emerged and have launched offensive attacks in different nations across the world. It is feared that if more terrorist groups continue to form, the security aspect in the world will be sabotaged thus making the world a war zone. References Adrian, Done. 2011.
