These two phenomena, humanity and ideology, clearly form our world, with one holding or being the matrix of the other. Truly, humanity is the origin of all ideologies. The ideas and systems that form the premise of every aspect of our lives as humans, our culture, beliefs, politics, society, economy, religion, and more. Where would therefore all our ideas and systems be without the human race?

In our 21st century, humanity is faced with challenging crises affecting every nation of the world, due to its own progeny, that is, the many ideologies we form from different regions of the globe. The human race, our qualities and characteristics as people (the state of being or showing compassion, love, kindness, or sympathy towards others, animals, or even the environment we live in), are being eroded every smallest unit of time by different ideas and systems that have been or are being developed by ourselves.

Ideology is the blueprint for making or unmaking a human race. Humanity, therefore, immured by various emerging ideologies that are crippling the freedom of human life and its existence, should be looked at and this such cancer removed before we lose ourselves and the generations to come. It manifests into shades, good and bad. Upon these two shades are what our basic existence as humans is run, the embodiment of our beliefs, principles, and attitudes that define or are attributed to persons or a particular group of persons seen to them as the right course to existence as far as we are humans. I am talking about ideologies like communism, environmentalism, black lives matter, artificial intelligence, islamophobia, feminism, liberalism, fascism, conservatism, white supremacy, anti-semitism, dictatorship, democracy, jihadism, racism, Zionism, nationalism, sexism, and more.

What makes an ideology good or bad?

The coups in the West African region, the Israel-Hamas war, the many assassination attempts on some presidents of some countries, and the mass immigration crisis that is swallowing Europe, the US, and the UK are some of the dilemmas the world is being faced with.

If an ideology lacks the moral capability and the essence to support the existence of human life, race, culture, and where it originates from, then we can clearly admit that it is a bad ideology. Interestingly, ideology in our recent times has found itself in many internal wrangles. For example, communism against democracy has deprived people's rights and resources to stand for the right course and even brought divisions amongst nations, who are supposed to have one vision of protecting our world and the human race.

Where is the wrangle between humanity and ideology?

The many ideologies formed all over the world, borne in conflicts, wars, racism, governance, gender inequality, religion, social justice, terrorism, genocide, international relations, criminology, and more, are prevailing evidence of how humanity is struggling to thrive in our time. The many different opinions held or practiced by some groups have eroded our common sense and responsibility to humanity. The need to come to an agreement to create policies, make investments, and unite the world against anything that has the potential to destroy humanity should be our focus. The wrangle now is that the supremacy of our ideas and principles we form to guide us as people and inhabitants of this planet has overridden our basic essence as humans. There is no love, empathy, or kindness for one another or the world. This is due to our individual selfishness and the hype given to the different ideologies we hold. For example, racism does not care about one's right to be treated equally, the fear of Jews and Arabs to live peacefully due to religious ideologies, the lack of concern for investing in climate change issues, and the need for global conflict resolution other than sponsoring wars. These are a few proofs of how humanity has been left struggling.

What do we do?

The United Nations’ summit of the future, September 2024, focused on the ways to sustain the human race and everything associated with it. The leaders of the world therefore need to come together to champion policies and systems that support the total safety of human life. Countermeasures should be established to systematically eradicate various ideologies that do not support our basic right to life and a safe future.

The world seems to be absentminded about how influential an ideology is, which has the possibility of gradually drowning humanity. Let's all wake up and stop this cancer before it leaves our world divided with conflicts.

I stand for the protection of the human race; love, peace, kindness, and empathy shown to all manner of persons, where humanity wins over ideology.
