I believe that Love still runs the world. Greed for money is just triggered by love for family. Everybody wants want to provide a good life for them. It is just disheartening that some people do not know how to implement an unselfish love.

Sex does not rule the world. It is just one factor and privilege given to human to sensually satisfy themselves.

A mixture of both money and technology. If you took away technology, the World would collapse for a couple of days - most businesses rely heavily on technology, and if that was taken away, commerce woudl come to a grinding halt. This would have knock on effects across the whole world, and is one of the major reasons why nowadays, there is such an emphasis on both technological terrorism and how to prevent it.

Money is the other thing, that without it, the World woudl grind to a halt. People have forgotton how to provide for themselves, and rely heavily on supermarkets for their food. If money suddenly stopped, how woudl these people feed themselves? Theft woudl go up many times over, and chaos would ensue.

Funnily enough, these two problems woudl not directly effect the developing world, but it woudl still affect them a lot, since trade would dry up. Their governments may collapse, but their people would be fine....

Hope this helps!

Actually, the thing is that now-a-days, the one who is economically strong runs the world. Today is the war of economy.

Money is the key, by which you can rule the world, whether people love you or not, even then you can rule the world by force. It is another topic that whether ruling by force is a good thing or not?

With the help of money, you can learn new technologies and make your defense strong by creating yourself or buying different weapons from other countries etc. Same is the case with other necessities of life.

Majority of the people are greedy or deserving and this is the reason why people love rich countries and rich people. That means if you are rich, it is more likely that people will love you and you will receive love from them. By getting love, you can also satisfy your sexual desires legally or illegally. Here again is a question of ethics that whether satisfying your sexual desires illegally is a good or bad thing? However, I would never recommend going for illegal means in any area of your life.

Just take the example of Japan, China and Korea etc. who are making almost every thing from needle to planes. There products are selling more in the world because of their low cost and quality. They have compelled the world bending knees in front of them.

On the contrary, the American and other European countries? products are quite costly as compared to China and Japan and therefore, not selling as much as of China, Japan, Korea etc.

No doubt the American and other European countries products are of high quality and technologically sound but I hope you understand that the purchasing power of the world is on decline and therefore, majority of the people prefer buying low cost plus quality products worldwide.

Best Wishes,

The desire for peer approval rules the world. Everyone seeks approval from someone, though that could be family, friends, your boss or your lover.

How people go about earning this approval depends on there particular circumstances. Some people see gathering massive wealth as the way to do it, others perhaps may seek approval through lots of sexual partners.

Obviously its a deeply complicated issue, but at its core, in my opinion, people simply want approval from somone (or someThing in Gods case!)

It is the WILL of God which runs the world. Material things have no power to run the world excepting through the specific will of God.

The question is ambiguous in this sense; if we're talking about the "world" as the entire universe, that runs the universe is apparently a law or set of laws, of which gravity is one, most of which are not understood by science. Of course a simple answer is "God" but that sort of begs the question because, aside from the differences of opinions as to the true identity or even existence of God, nobody knows that rules he set down to "run the world". If, on the other hand, the question addresses what runs the world of mankind, the answer is simple; curiosity. It is man's curiosity which has led him to explore the unknown in all fields and which has brought us so many answers that have made our physical lives easier and our emotional lives more complicated.

I am making the assumption you mean humankind and our development to best answer the questions.

I think the human condition of striving to be better runs the world. Our human striving for improvement can manifest in many ways from horrible (Hitler) to wonderful (all the wonderful inventions that have improved health and quality of life).

While the striving to be better can be twisted into something we can find moraly and/or ethically wrong, I think the basic instinct is the same whether attempts are adaptive or maladaptive. As humans, we have tremendous desire to improve our world and gain signficant satisfaction in betterment. I think this trait drives us more than anything else.

The world is run by the persons thought which precedes action. This thought is influenced by the age of a person. A child thinks of only play and he runs only behind fun and games least worried about money property etc. An adult (from teenager till old age) runs behind worldly desires which include, money, sex and property (this includes land, off-springs, investments etc) and once he is aged he cannot or he is unable to run so he keeps on brooding depressively (in mind) over what mistakes or what wrong decisions he took during his adult age. At this age he tries to survive himself with whatever is available with least effort...

All things are connected in some way and as for all that is on the earth up to the state of a man the connecting thread is 'Sound' that which is the guiding element that provides him the intelligence to be doing what he is right now, And this sound originates from the earth below . This sound is not audible to the normal ear but provides man the intellect he needs . One might ask how .? We all unconsciously hear strange sounds coming in the form of thoughts into subjects of interest to us that provide us with the ideas to innovate and invent . But unconscious are we to the way we receive these ideas and claim them to be uniquely ours . But how many a thinker would see through the eye of his mind that the crow calls out the speech of the thinkers thoughts before the beginning of his time and begins the beginning of his life, the crow crows, the cow moos and the dog barks and the owl hoots all for a theory of descending and emerging into a life form and the maestro still plays creating his song of life. And still the artist do not know what made the piper play the children away. What gathers the multitude to worship their idol of the day and still the lights are on, on the stage where they played.
