Guidelines on "Worldwide Brotherhood"

The following are based from Rizal's opinions from his writings and speeches that intends to establish harmony and bonding between nations:

The negligence of human rights is a fundamental cause that is wished to end by establishing unity. One of Rizal's wishes is to have an equality of rights, justice, dignity, and peace. The basis for unity is a mutual brotherhood that aims a deep respect in people's beliefs even though they are separated by race, level of education, and age. A negative effect of Colonialism is racial discrimination. The emergence of a worldwide brotherhood with the intention of eradicating any forms of discrimination because of one's race, social status, or religion. Peace is Rizal's wish to end the colonial rule of different countries. This is also one of Rizal's concerns in the mutual understanding not only between Spain but also in other countries. One of the reasons for this is due to Rizal's protest about the public display of Igorots in a Madrid carnival in 1887 that caused anger and misunderstanding to those who believed in the importance on one's race.

Drawbacks that hinders progress towards to a Worldwide Brotherhood

Change and harmony can be achieved through unity. The beliefs of one's rights, dignity, and importance, and of equality of rights between genders and of between nations.

From a certain speech of Rizal:

“ The Philippines will remain forever with Spain if her laws and civilizations will be given a life, if its human rights are respected, and can be trusted without dishonor, shame, and lies. ”

The following are the hindrances for a worldwide brotherhood:

1. The disappearance of human rights.

2. Wrong beliefs in the implementation of agreements.

3. Taking advantage of other people.

4. Ignoring the wishes of other people.

5. Racial discrimination.

From a letter of Rizal to his friends:

If the invasion of an another country will result to its hardship, it is preferable that the invading country will leave it and give its independence. ”

It is shown here Rizal's lasting desire of a friendship between Spain and the Philippines based from equality of rights.
