Globalization is leading us towards a common value system that most people think is an irrefutable principle. Among those values, the most prominent are democracy and human rights. United States, allegedly the world police and other advanced democratic countries endeavor to broaden the scope of the globe where those values are appreciated. It is a definitely positive move to instill the ideas like respecting each person as a significant being who has unalienable rights just for they are human beings.

Moreover, the countries are unjustly seeking profits from it. For example, especially the United States has been blatant in its attempt to gain profit under the nominal purpose of establishing democracy and humanitarianism in allegedly backward countries. United States has declared war on Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, asserting that intolerable acts were being committed in the regions and it is a must for the country to go forward and repair their system. Despite no certainty, it has been noted that the country has been seeking profits like oil and natural resources rather than the spread of common value system.
