Many religions, philosophies, and world-views believe in something similar to The Law of Change: Everything is constantly changing. This is certainly true about the floor of politics today worldwide. But, this is not because of an unseeable, uncontrollable law of the Universe. It is because people want change.
In the past century, countries have made drastic political changes. Previously Authoritarian regimes have been replaced with Democratic governments, brand new countries are constantly forming, and old governments are constantly being replaced. Even in the former Soviet Union, countries have flourished and become independent. Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev has even turned the previous Soviet state into a functioning world-player.
Even America has changed a lot since the early 1900′s. As strange as it seems now, America was not considered such a powerful nation until the First World War, whereas now it is often called “The World Police.” America has also gone through The Civil Rights Movement and has made headway in women’s rights, racial equality, and many other fields of civil rights. Even the political party that controls Congress and the White House changes every few elections, demonstrating the necessity of change in politics.
Governments are constantly reforming to satisfy changing situations, views, creeds, and needs. No one has to force the world to change because things are always changing. Where effort is really necessary is in making sure that countries, governments, and approaches to problems change in the way that will be most beneficial for everyone. Change is not optional, but it does come with options.
