                     Recently the nation of Egypt underwent a peaceful regime change.  However, this movement that culminated in such joy for the Egyptian people was met with begrudged scenarios by many western nations.  The coverage of the Egyptian revolution quickly turned from awe of one nation’s ability to act as one to fear of global consequences. Most televised debates on the matter forecasted a nation controlled by terrorist groups.  Few focused on the triumph of the Egyptian people.  Individuals, specifically those from western nations, developed in countries with consistent global standings that allowed their families flourish.  However, what these individuals fail to realize is that the blanket the U.S.A or hegemon provides maybe regularly but it is far from perfect.  The chasm that separates nations causes the human race to be segmented and unable to envision collective progression. In “Learning from Extinctions . . . and Life,” the author, Paul Grobstein, asserts that it is time, “To recognize that we are, as we have always been, a part… of a larger and ongoing experiment in trying out new ways of living.” If the human race can truly become one entity working towards a common good by frequently remodeling society there is no telling how utopian life could become.
