We can't even sit down and discuss issues without it turning ugly, yet our world leaders think we can all live together in peace? It's not possible at this time, and the poor implementation of the initial round of globalization is not helping matters. This first foray into true globalization has only served to widen the class gap in America, and consolidate wealth at the top through the exploitation of the developing world.
With the world continuing to blend economically, social and cultural meshing will inevitably follow, and, eventually, we'll be one world who identifies ourselves as humans. An alien threat of some kind could obviously speed this matter up, but I don't think we'll see global assimilation in our lifetime.
