UM is a global non-profit organization which aims to engage interested scholars with differing views in examining important global societal issues and developing publishable respected arguments that can serve as trustworthy sources to individuals, families, organizations, governments, etc., to express their own informed positions on the issue. These positions will continue being re-examined as new evidence becomes available and being re-adjusted in addendum publications so that they can remain relevant and current. UM will know it is doing its job when it gets closest to achieving unification through a robust balance that becomes increasingly difficult to tip. Accessibility and open feedback from the public can evaluate its effect and prevent it from being misled because an important element was left out of consideration. UM embraces valid differences that complement positions on an issue and bring unique contributions to the table. It will seek to remove doubts of authenticity from expert evidence it presents to non-experts through transparency and disclosure of all conflicts of interest. Every defendable vote will count to assess relative positions to the recommendations of the experts, remaining sensitive to the work that still needs to be done to achieve a robust unifying balance. UM is a platform of expert team positions representing entire fields surrounding an issue, with no agenda of profiting in any way (e.g., financially or through influence and power) from its goal to unify people behind the wisest views on the issue. Informed decisions are likely to avert crises or failure to identify elements that should not be lying in the margins. Ethical boundaries promise to keep us in check. The hope is that UM will unify people to seek positions that serve most people rather than a few with special interests. ([[about_UM|Read more...]])

WELCOME TO UNIFIERS' MOVEMENT

the Balanced Arguments to Global Issues.

From Today's Controversial Topic

Denuclearization (or Nuclear Disarmament) is an argument for the partial or complete dismantling of nuclear weapons. Specifically, for nuclear warheads such as the two nuclear bombs used by the American military to attack the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Following World War II, this has been a strongly advocated diplomatic approach between nations resulting in several international treaties. In recent years, more nations have developed nuclear programs making the development and management of nuclear stockpiles a critical part of international policies.

Doctoral students were asked to take "Pro", "Con", and "In Between" positions regarding the usefulness and harm of Denuclearization. (Full topic...)

Previous Topic Discussion

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), are any organisms whose DNA has been altered using biotechnology to introduce certain traits. In agriculture industry, GMO crops are engineered to resist pests and herbicides, improve shelf life, enhance nutritional value and enhance flavor. Developing these traits naturally would take several generations, but genetic modification fastens this process. Commonly grown GMO crops include cotton, corn and soybean Supporters argue that GMOs enable higher food production, which is essential for feeding a growing global population.

THE UNIFIERS’ MOVEMENT

Can the motivation for a unified problem-solving approach be to work together to leave the world a better place than we found it? A world contained by ethical boundaries, where we regain our trust and reject our fear of each other? A world unified and not divided?

This book proposes a path toward unifying solutions to problems!
