International or National Citizen

In the 21st century, we have several international organizations: the UN, WHO, ICC, and much more.

Why are a majority of these organizations based in the United States or Europe? Though we all strive to be a multi-national community, where each citizen is, in fact, an international citizen, the world will most likely continue to be dominated by Western forces. For now.

Perhaps, one day, Asians will rule the world! Just kidding. No, but really, you have to ask yourself, if we are trying to bring third world countries to a higher status, be that economically, politically or socially, why do the powers of the West resound throughout everything? I don’t know. I see it’s fitting, seeing that Western society has been dominating world politics for a while now. But, is it fair?
