Why Still Back the United Nations?

Michael Douglas supports the United Nations because it was designed after World War II as a place for countries to get together. There is no reason for any more wars, yet more conflict is going on than ever before.

In college, a lecture from the man behind the geodesic dome, who also wrote a book called Spaceship Earth, showed how tiny the planet is. Telescopes were looking farther and farther out. Michael Douglas is sure something else is out there in the universe, and maybe people will find it, but right now Earth is all there is. The planet is beginning to crumble worldwide with the climate. After two major world wars and a period of relative peace, things are beginning to crack again. The United States is called the most powerful country, but countries have to work together. Some people say social media is designed to create conflict or create enemies. Michael Douglas says that just cannot be, and people have to get over conflict and begin to work together.

Michael Douglas supports a couple of organizations that are not the most popular right now but are greatly conceived. The United Nations is one of them. The United States gets angry sometimes when votes do not go its way, and the United States will financially support the United Nations.
