The world community is a system that unites the states and peoples of the Earth. The functions of this system are to jointly protect the peace and freedom of citizens of any countries, as well as to solve emerging global problems.
The interests of the world community are expressed in the activities of organizations from different countries that have common goals, such as the UN, UNESCO, etc. They just express a common international opinion. The main goals of the world community: the preservation of peace, the development of friendly relations between peoples, the settlement and prevention of disputes and conflicts, control over the observance of human rights and assistance in solving global problems.
Interchange
The world community includes more than two hundred countries around the world, each of which has its own political, social and economic features of development. It is the diversity of needs and economic benefits that lead countries to interact with each other. Trade in goods is complemented by the exchange of specialists, information and knowledge.
Thanks to the dissemination of information, the economy of another countryreceives the necessary technologies for further development. Sharing knowledge leads to new discoveries. And thanks to this, the state can cope with its problems much more effectively.
Today, all countries of the world community jointly regulate and coordinate the main directions of the economy. The need for the exchange of goods, knowledge and information is dictated by the joint development of world global projects. This, for example, the development of other planets, the oceans, the study of Antarctica, etc. Many projects require global financial costs, and often one country is simply unable to allocate the amount necessary for research or development. And just joint work with other states provides the necessary investments and specialists in various fields.
Russia in the world community
Russia's place in the world community is one of the leading ones. It is a permanent member of the UN. Russia is the owner of one of the largest nuclear potentials in the world. Also on its territory there are a huge number of deposits of oil and gas, precious metals.
Russia is the largest state in the world in terms of territory. The federation borders on Europe and Asia, which gives the country a geopolitically favorable position. In addition, Russia also has a high technical potential.
Despite the fact that after the collapse of the USSR many problems arose in Russia, it still did not lose its position in the world community. Part of the territories important for the country was lost, but nevertheless, Russia's place inworld community is still one of the leaders.
Problems
Evolution does not stand still, humanity is developing, in parallel using natural resources for its needs. In this regard, the problems of the world community are global. Among them, environmental protection is in the first place. This problem is so urgent that it is necessary to cope with it not in individual countries, but together with the world community. Clogging of soil, air and water is increasingly leading to cataclysms on the planet.
Deposits of natural minerals are also not eternal, and someday they will run out. According to the calculations of scientists around the world, this can happen very soon, so the world community is trying to find other ways to extract the resources necessary for life. New types of fuel are being developed, and chemical reagents are being replaced with natural compounds - so that they do not harm either humans or nature.
The world community of states highlights many other global problems. This is also the food issue, which is still acute in some countries. This is also a demographic problem - population decline, regulation of international migration, mortality. As well as diseases that have neither nationality nor citizenship - alcoholism, smoking, drug addiction.
Globalization
The term "global" means "affecting all countries of the world", "global". Today, there is practically nothing left that would not fall underthe impact of globalization. It affected financial flows, computers, viruses, programs, new technologies, epidemics.
The world community of states is concerned about the numerous crimes and terrorism that are growing on a huge scale. Recently, no country can no longer isolate itself from globalization. It unites all countries not only economically, but also socially, politically, etc.
Autarky
This concept is the opposite of globalization. This is the process of economic isolation of the country. Basically, autarky prevails in countries that are in the early stages of economic development. The reasons for it have always been manual labor and low productivity, and the very small needs of the population. Usually there were just enough goods for trade within the country itself.
At the moment, there are very few such countries left. Almost all states that are part of the world community have experienced scientific and technological revolutions that have increased productivity many times over, and hence the number of goods. As a result, domestic and foreign trade expanded.
People's needs have grown and become more capricious and selective. As a result, the country's own resources were clearly not enough to satisfy them, hence the need to enter the world market, join the world community.
Internet in the global community
The global Internet network, which was able not only to uniteall countries, but also increased trade around the world. The exchange of knowledge and information is transmitted almost instantly to anywhere in the world, which greatly facilitates cooperation between countries. Thanks to the Internet, many of the emerging global problems in the world are being solved with the greatest efficiency, and at the moment it is only the threshold of even greater world discoveries and opportunities.
