Collaboration is a universal principle of nature

All matter in nature can be divided according to their level of complexity: inanimate, vegetable, animal and human. Despite the big difference between the levels, all have one common property, it is the principle of cooperation of different parties for the benefit of the entire system.

level still, the most common mineral in Earth's crust is quartz. The basic structure This mineral is the tetrahedron formed by a silicon ion surrounded by four oxygen ions. However, only when the tetrahedra share oxygen ions, forms a stable mineral. Also, more complex minerals different basic structures work together and share different ions to maintain the stability of the mineral structure.
plant level, the roots of plants absorb water and mineral elements in soil and move to the aerial parts. The leaves turn, produce sugars through photosynthesis and the move to all parts of the plant, including roots. In deciduous species, mineral elements move from the leaves to other parts of the plant before senescence. Thus, different plant organs collaborate.
animal and human level, we see the same principle of collaboration, but at a higher level of complexity. There are, for example, different types of systems in animal and human body: respiratory, reproductive, nervous, digestive, etc., Each system consists of different organs, in turn, are composed of a set of cells. Only when all systems, organs and cells are coordinated and organized with a common goal, the organism exists in equilibrium.
animal level, there are several examples of collaboration different individuals within a colony, flock or herd, in order to achieve the survival of the species. This collaboration is unquestionable from relatively simple organisms such as bees and ants, to more complex organisms like birds and mammals.
is clear that the collaboration of different parties for the benefit of the whole system is a universal principle of nature. However, how human beings meet this principle? Without a doubt, the human species is the only selfish and the only one opposed to the harmony of nature that is altruistic. Consistently, the man puts an "I" in the center of the world, rather than a "we."
Not surprisingly, therefore, that humanity is currently receiving the blows of nature and are experiencing crisis at all levels: ecological, economic, social and health now. To solve these global problems, we must build our society according to the universal principle of nature that is altruism. To achieve the benefit of all mankind, human beings must learn to work right now or as a result of major disasters. Dr. Alexander Neaman
