The Two c's Which Lead to the Big C

collaboration and compromise are the two things needed to achieve collective Global Security. Without them, countries would remain overly nationalistic and self-involved and wars would break out because they would only be thinking of their short term benefit. Collective global security is a long-term benefit and sometimes countries don't realize this or are unable to see it. 

A collective international body, such as the UN, should eliminate the threat of nations that are a threat to collective global security. If most countries are in concord, with a minority that is in disagreement, it is important to compromise and collaborate with each other in order to get the minorities involved. It would not be wise to simply exclude a country just because it is not in agreement with others because then sides would break out and that would lead to wars. In order to achieve global security, ideally, all countries should be involved.

The UN strives to achieve collective global security, but sadly, the task has shown to be impossible. This is because it is in a human's natural state to be selfish and act in their own interest- this sometimes contradicts with the two imperative ingredientss to collective global security; collaboration and compromise.
